There are quite a few fruits that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Peaches, lemons, pineapples, and citrus fruits can be consumed, as well as strawberries, blueberries, and hawthorns. These fruits are also rich in vitamin C, which has anti-inflammatory and antiscorbutic properties. Vitamin C generally helps patients absorb and resolve inflammatory edema and promotes recovery of injured areas.
