I found that she was very thin, with brown spots on her face, and her tongue was darker in color with some dot-like spots. Then I understood that she was suffering from anemia caused by blood stasis. The prescription I gave her was: soak her feet every night, and put some safflower in the hot water. Safflower has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
