Dr. Yan Xinpeng
There are numerous traditional Chinese patent medicines that promote blood circulation and resolve blood stasis, and the specific medication prescribed varies depending on the clinical condition. For the “Qi stagnation and blood stasis” pattern, commonly used blood-activating and stasis-resolving patent medicines include Su Xiao Jiu Xin Wan (Rapid-Effect Heart-Saving Pills) and Fu Fang Dan Shen Di Wan (Compound Salvia Miltiorrhiza Dropping Pills). For the “phlegm congealing and cold stagnation” pattern, representative blood-activating and stasis-resolving patent medicines include Guan Xin Su He Wan (Coronary Heart Disease Su He Pills) and Kuan Xiong Qi Wu Ji (Broad-Chest Aerosol). In menstruating women, medications such as Yi Mu Cao (Leonurus japonicus) or Xue Fu Zhu Yu Wan (Blood Mansion Stasis-Resolving Pills) may be used under the guidance of a physician.
