Therefore, the blood stasis is the main pathogenesis of ischemic stroke, so the “promoting blood circulation to remove blood-stasis” method should be the backbone of the ischemic stroke therapy, but most of “promoting blood circulation to remove blood-stasis” method with the character of breaking and discharging.
