Vasculitis falls within the scope of "Pulse Bi" and "Tuju" in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). TCM believes that this disease is closely related to the internal organs, meridians, and vital energy and blood. Vasculitis occurs due to exposure to cold and dampness, with cold pathogenic factors lodging in the meridians, causing blood stasis from cold coagulation, obstructing the flow of qi and blood.

Vasculitis is a common peripheral vascular disease, and there may be many patients around us. It is essential to treat vasculitis promptly; otherwise, it can cause significant harm. Currently, TCM treatment for vasculitis has received widespread attention from the medical community and patients alike. So, how does TCM treat vasculitis?
