Count 5 symptoms of insufficient qi and blood, if more than 3 symptoms are met, attention should be paid to
Human blood circulates throughout the body with temperature. It acts as a back-and-forth cycle, bringing temperature to the body. So when you don't have enough blood, that is, you lose too much blood, its ability to warm your extremities goes down—and you don't have enough blood, and you can't get past the temperature. Therefore, after many women experience the phenomenon of qi and blood deficiency, the first symptom is - fear of cold
Women are afraid of cold, because the climate changes. When it's warm outside, you feel warm because the outside temperature helps you warm your body. As soon as the outside temperature drops and the weather cools, you'll feel the cold right away.
In fact, women's fear of cold is their body's ability to adapt to changes in external temperature.
The main symptoms of people with blood loss are roughly as follows:
(1) light color
This includes dull complexion (meaning that the complexion is not always rosy) or yellow, and areas with mucous membranes (including nails, lips, eyelids, etc.) that are lighter in color. The paler the blood on the surface of the body, and the colder the weather, the paler the person will appear.
Tongue symptoms of blood deficiency in TCM tongue diagnosis are pale white tongue. Once the tongue is pale, there are only two possibilities, one is blood loss, and the other is a cold. In addition, women who lose too much blood will have lighter and less menstrual shades.
(2) Frequent fatigue
This kind of people will be palpitated, dizzy, and exhausted after a little hard work. Some women are about to collapse before they go shopping very far.
As the weather gets colder and more clothes are worn, the tiredness of the limbs will become more obvious. People who lose too much blood will feel powerless, even walking, they will feel palpitations, asthma, chest tightness, which is also the reason why blood cannot nourish the heart.
Autumn and winter are the seasons with high incidence of heart disease. If people who lose too much blood do not pay attention to maintenance, it will aggravate the condition.
(3) Dizziness
The blood-struck person squatted down for a while, then stood up suddenly, feeling the darkness in front of him. Some people feel dizzy even after going up a few floors or running a few steps, which is the reason for the deficiency of qi and blood.
(4) If you enter the air-conditioned room in summer or winter, your hands and feet are cold
The blood circulates in the body with the temperature, which warms the viscera and limbs. When we are in a cold place, blood concentrates on the internal organs and brain. At this time, if the body temperature is not enough, the body surface is easy to catch cold. At this time, people who have lost blood will wear more clothes and pants than others. But this fear of cold cannot be solved by warming yang. At this time, the problem can be solved by nourishing blood.
(5) Forgetfulness, insomnia
Generally speaking, there are more people of this type. As the blood does not nourish the heart, functions related to thinking and thinking deteriorate, so amnesia symptoms occur.
Among the people with insomnia, a considerable proportion is caused by deficiency of qi and blood, especially professional women who have been working hard for a long time. At the turn of autumn and winter, the health of the human body needs to keep out the cold, and the blood will be relatively insufficient. People with blood deficiency will feel particularly sleepy and ''heart tired'' when thinking about problems. Most people toss and turn in bed, having trouble falling asleep. It's all blood loss.
If you have the above symptoms, you should consider whether you are already deficient in Qi and blood.
It should be noted that people with blood deficiency are more likely to catch colds than ordinary people. If it reaches a certain level, the yang qi of the body will be insufficient, and it will gradually turn into yang deficiency. These factors are all interrelated and do not have entirely separate boundaries.
So what are the causes of blood deficiency?
(1) Spleen and stomach injury
Modern women do not pay enough attention to the spleen and stomach. In order to lose weight, they usually do not eat, which will hurt the spleen and stomach. The main form of many people's spare time is ''eating'', and eating is basically a mess, which overloads the spleen and stomach and greatly increases the probability of injury to the spleen and stomach.
Chinese medicine believes that the blood source is the nutrients absorbed by the spleen and stomach. Once the spleen and stomach are injured, they cannot fully absorb nutrients, and the blood will soon be insufficient.
(2) Overthinking
This is caused by overthinking, modern women are thinking every day about how to make money, how to develop a career, how to handle relationships and more. It is rare to be able to achieve true indifference and nothingness. Exhausting too much energy can also lead to blood loss.
(3) Female Physiological Structure and Function
Menstruation and pregnancy can cause blood consumption. If you do not pay attention to maintenance, it is easy to lead to blood loss.
(4) Injury, surgery, disease
Some women lose a lot of blood from their injuries. There are also women in the process of the disease, the blood is gradually consumed, but also cause blood loss.
(5) Due to qi stagnation and blood stasis, women whose liver qi is not prosperous will gradually enter a state of qi and blood weakness due to stagnation of qi and blood. Blood loss is common. The mechanism is that the liver qi reverses the spleen and stomach, resulting in a decline in the hematopoietic function of the spleen and stomach.
(6) Women with qi deficiency and long-term fatigue and lack of exercise will have qi deficiency. But after qi deficiency, the inability to produce new blood can lead to blood loss.
Chinese medicine believes that qi and blood interact with each other, so nourishing qi is one of the important concepts of nourishing blood in Chinese medicine. Only after the Qi is sufficient can the blood be nourished and have a foundation.
