IndicationsFor dull complexion, abdominal distension, purple lips and tongue, or purple spots on the tongue, and facial blemishes.5. Explanation of the FormulaBlood flows smoothly in the vessels, and smoothness is the key. The formation of blood stasis includes both stagnation of blood within the vessels and blood stasis outside the meridians. When blood stasis remains in the body, it not only loses its nourishing function but also affects the circulation of blood throughout the body or locally, causing pain, bleeding, or blockage of the meridians. This results in a dull complexion, purple lips and tongue, and prolonged stasis leading to insufficient nourishment of the skin, resulting in abdominal distension and a rough pulse indicating stasis. Ge Shu is a key point for treating blood disorders, while Xue Hai is a key point on the Spleen meridian that has the effect of resolving stasis and promoting circulation, making it one of the important points for activating blood. Si Du, located on the San Jiao meridian, dispels dampness and clears turbidity, regulating the Qi mechanism of the San Jiao. When Qi flows, blood flows. Blood stasis resolves itself. Qi within the vessels has the function of promoting blood circulation; insufficient Qi cannot propel blood flow, leading to local blood stasis.These three points work synergistically.
They have the effects of activating blood circulation, resolving stasis, and smoothing the meridians.
