AT A GLANCE
The stuck constitution: dark lips, easy bruising, fixed dull aches, a tongue with dark spots. The classics anchor it to congestion that "should be let flow".
Typical signs
Dusky complexion, dark lips, easy bruising, fixed stabbing or dull pain, dark menstrual blood with clots.
Food principles
Favor the tradition’s moving foods in culinary amounts: hawthorn, black fungus, ginger, a little vinegar, warm cooked meals. Long gentle walks are part of the same prescription — movement is the theme, not intensity.
The classic anchor
「血实宜决之」——《素问·阴阳应象大论》
