Here are some pictures of static blood and acupuncture tools. For more information about static blood, please see the page about Oriental Medicine.
It is not easy for patients to see what blood stasis looks like. This is because most acupuncturists are unable to properly identify and diagnose the location and depth of where the blood stasis is accumulating.
It does not mean that the blood is coming out because the acupuncturist stabbed deeply. As you can see in the picture, the depth of the needle is less than 2mm, and it is not possible to stab deeply in such a sensitive place as the fingertip.
Most of toe pictures are blood stasis come from my paralysis area due to lumber herniation. I just removed needles; I didn't squeeze the points at all. You could see how much blood stagnation was accumulated in my meridian. Some fingers’ pictures came from my patients. As you see, some people hold blood stasis in their meridian like me. You would see, how deference between each blood stasis’s color and amount were not the same.
Some pictures that came from my patients are water-like clear blood stasis. I think it is a very rare case.
Blood Stasis
Static blood from the little toe (BL67) and ring toe (GB44) of my right foot. The blood stasis can be squeezed out, but in my case, it needs whole of a sheet of tissue paper. This proves that my both bladder and gallbladder meridians are in that much trouble. However, it is also true that the pain in my lower back almost disappears after it is squeezed out. It is not something I squeezed for days at a time. Every bloodstain is fresh blood in color, right? If it was left overnight, the blood would be oxidized and discolored to a dark black color.
