Today, my son accidentally fell off his bicycle and sprained his ankle. My husband suggested using some blood-activating and stasis-resolving medications—what options are available?

Dr. Lin Yunfei
Numerous herbs and formulations used clinically promote blood circulation and resolve blood stasis. Commonly used options include Sanqi (Notoginseng) Tablets, which not only disperse blood stasis and arrest bleeding but also reduce swelling and relieve pain—making them particularly effective for traumatic injuries, contusions with swelling and pain, and external bleeding. Another option is Shujin Huoxue Tablets, primarily indicated for promoting blood circulation, resolving stasis, relaxing tendons, and unblocking meridians. Additionally, Zheng Honghua Oil may be applied topically; its principal clinical actions are warming the meridians, dispelling cold, promoting blood circulation, and alleviating pain.
