Microcirculation

The flow of blood or lymph through the smallest vessels of the body, especially the venules, capillaries and arterioles. Microcirculation plays a key role in the maintenance of health and function of the body and mind. There are estimated to be about 200 thousand miles of these small vessels in the typical human body. The microcirculation provides nutrients to every cell of the body and removes waste from the same. The brain alone requires about 10 gallons of blood per hour, all distributed in the end through the microcirculation. Microcirculation can be enhanced with herbs, superfoods, Qigong, meditation and yoga.
