Accumulation formed from stagnant blood belongs to the category of *Shi Jia* (Stone Leiomyoma). The Classics state: "Shi Jia arises in the uterus; cold pathogen invades the Zi Men (cervical os), causing obstruction, preventing Qi from circulating freely. Evil blood should be discharged but is not, thus remaining and accumulating, enlarging day by day, resembling pregnancy. It can be treated by guiding or purging."

(Gu Zhang / Grain Distension)
Irregular diet leads to stagnation in the Middle Jiao. Symptoms include acid regurgitation, belching, aversion to food odors, and worsening after eating. The Classics state: "Irregular diet and improper living habits affect the Yin meridians. When Yin meridians are affected, pathogens enter the Five Zang organs. Entering the Zang organs results in abdominal fullness and obstruction." In such cases, it is appropriate to use resolving methods to eliminate stagnation; if severe, purgative methods should be used. This aligns with the principle: "For fullness in the center, drain from within."
