Symptoms of Qi and Blood Deficiency in Women

Deficiency of both Qi and blood is a common problem among women. Compared with men, women may have relatively poorer physical constitutions. Coupled with the influence of menstruation and other factors, deficiency of both Qi and blood becomes a more common symptom. Blood and qi are two basic substances in our body. “The users of human body are blood and qi.” This shows the necessity of blood and qi to the human body. Deficiency of both Qi and blood will cause the decline of the functions of the internal organs, making people very prone to decline. So how should women know whether their blood and qi are sufficient? Women with both qi and blood deficiency usually have the following main symptoms. If you have the same symptoms, it means that both qi and blood are deficient and you need to replenish qi and blood in time.

What are the main symptoms of Qi and blood deficiency in women?

Check your eyes first. If your eyes are dull, the whites of your eyes are cloudy or yellow, and there are obvious red bloodshot, it may be a sign of deficiency of Qi and blood. By observing the condition of the eyes, we can get a glimpse of the physical and mental health. If a person has abundant blood energy, his eyes should be bright and shiny. And if there is moisture in the body or some other problems that affect the circulation and smoothness of blood, then the blood supply around the eyes is likely to be affected, causing abnormalities such as dullness in the eyes.

Next, observe the skin. If the complexion is dark yellow, the skin is dry and inelastic, the facial skin has no luster, and it is pale or dark yellow, it mostly indicates that the body's Qi and blood are deficient. Nowadays, many women may eat less in order to lose weight and pursue beauty, and the body does not absorb enough nutrients. Due to malnutrition or other reasons, women's skin will change. When the blood is sufficient, the skin should be very white, rosy and shiny, and wrinkles will grow slowly. We often say that deficiency of Qi and blood is prone to aging, Qi and blood deficiency has poor skin condition, and the whole person may look older.

Also observe the hair. If your hair has no luster, grows slowly, splits or breaks easily, and turns gray quickly, it means that the blood in your body is not sufficient. Women pursue beauty and probably hope that their hair is dark and shiny. People with abundant blood in their bodies usually have better hair quality. Blood and qi have a nourishing effect on our body, and hair is no exception. If the heart and spleen blood are idle, qi and blood are deficient, the hair cannot be nourished, and the hair quality will become worse. Malnutrition or endocrine imbalance may cause the body's blood and qi to be insufficient or qi and blood to be deficient. This type of situation usually occurs.

Finally, check your fingernails. If the half-moon on the nails fades or is not obvious, there are vertical lines on the nails, the nails are easy to break, the nails are pale, or the hands and feet are always cold, it is very likely that you are suffering from deficiency of Qi and blood. The body is deficient in Qi and blood, and the blood circulation system of the human body is not smooth. Our hands are located at the terminal of the blood circulation system of the human body, so the blood supply to the hands may be insufficient, and the fingernails cannot be nourished by blood, so the fingernails often show more obvious changes. Excessive liver fire in the body, poor detoxification of the body, and heavy cold and dampness in the body can often affect the body's blood and qi. Such changes in fingernails indicate that the body's functions may decline rapidly and decline may come prematurely, so qi and blood should be replenished in time.

How to improve the condition of qi and blood deficiency?

If a woman has any of the above four symptoms, it indicates that she may be suffering from deficiency of both Qi and blood. If Qi and blood are deficient, women should pay more attention to their daily diet. They can eat more foods that replenish Qi and blood, such as dried longan, rice, jujube, etc., and be careful to eat less cold foods to avoid the accumulation of cold and dampness in the body. In normal times, you should also exercise regularly to promote the circulation of blood and qi, enhance the body's immune system, and be more helpful for dredging meridians and replenishing qi and blood. In normal times, you should also reduce the use of your eyes. Prolonged viewing will damage the blood. Don't stare at the mobile phone or computer screen all the time. Give your eyes a rest. Another important point is to maintain adequate sleep, promote blood circulation in the body, and help women prevent aging.
