1. Typical Symptoms of Blood Stasis Constitution (Self-Judgment)
Blood stasis constitution, one of the nine TCM constitutions, is characterized by "stasis" — poor blood circulation and internal stagnation of blood stasis. You can check against the following symptoms:
Dark Complexion: Dull, lusterless skin, prone to spots.
Dry Skin: Rough skin, even scaly like fish scales.
Dark Purple Tongue: Dark-colored tongue with ecchymoses or petechiae, and varicose sublingual veins.
Fixed Body Pain: Persistent, fixed stabbing pain (e.g., joint pain, headache).
Dysmenorrhea (for Women): Dark-colored menstrual blood with clots, obvious abdominal pain during menstruation.
Choppy Pulse: A slow, uneven pulse (needs to be diagnosed by a physician).
Dr. Li’s Reminder: If blood stasis constitution is not regulated for a long time, it may induce cardiovascular problems, joint pain, mammary gland hyperplasia and other diseases. It is recommended to go to Li Ping Clinic on Yangsan Road, Liling for face-to-face syndrome differentiation and a personalized conditioning plan.

3. Why Is Bee Therapy Effective for Blood Stasis Constitution?

Features of Bee Therapy for Blood Stasis Constitution at Li Ping Clinic:
Syndrome Differentiation & Acupoint Selection: Different acupoints are selected according to the location of blood stasis (e.g., local Ashi points for joint pain, Sanyinjiao (SP6) and Guanyuan (CV4) for dysmenorrhea).
Low Initial Dose: People with blood stasis constitution are often sensitive to pain, so a small dose is used for the first trial.
Combination with Tea: Blood-circulating health tea can be drunk on the same day as bee therapy, with no conflict.
Treatment Course: Generally, 10 sessions of bee therapy constitute one course, and the health tea is taken continuously throughout the course.
Real Feedback (Patient Mr. E, 55, Liling Urban Area):"I have blood stasis constitution, and I’ve had cervical pain and low back pain for years. After receiving bee therapy and drinking Salvia Miltiorrhiza and Hawthorn Tea, my pain has been significantly reduced. Dr. Li is very responsible and conducts syndrome differentiation before each treatment."
4. Important Notes for Drinking Health Tea for Blood Stasis Constitution (Very Important)
Pregnant women are absolutely forbidden to drink blood-circulating health tea! Blood-circulating herbs (Salvia Miltiorrhiza, Angelica Sinensis, Ligusticum Wallichii, Panax Notoginseng, Rose Flower, etc.) may cause miscarriage, so they are strictly prohibited for pregnant women.
Pause during menstruation for women with heavy menstrual flow: Blood-circulating tea will increase menstrual flow, so women with heavy menstrual flow should pause drinking during menstruation.
Not a substitute for medicine: If you already have clear cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases or severe blood stasis syndrome, you must go to a regular hospital for treatment. Health tea can only be used as an auxiliary conditioning method.
Syndrome differentiation first: Blood stasis constitution is often combined with qi deficiency and yang deficiency, so the formula needs to be adjusted. It is recommended to go to Li Ping Clinic for syndrome differentiation before drinking.
Drinking cycle: Drink continuously for 2-3 weeks and then take a 1-week break to avoid the body developing tolerance.
