How to regulate qi and blood deficiency in women

Deficiency of both Qi and blood is mostly caused by congenital Qi deficiency or deficiency of both Qi and blood, internal injuries due to fatigue, after major surgery, internal bleeding, long-term illness and difficult to cure, etc. The patient also has symptoms of Qi deficiency and blood deficiency. The specific manifestations of Qi deficiency are: shortness of breath, laziness to speak, fatigue, deep voice, chest tightness and shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness and palpitations, sallow complexion, poor appetite, virtual fire, night sweats, and prolapse of the anus.

1. Change the balanced diet to replenish qi and blood

Modern women do not suffer from deficiency of Qi and blood due to hunger. On the contrary, modern women eat a lot of food every day. It’s just that girls like to eat some cold food and desserts, which are not beneficial to replenishing Qi and blood, but rather do a lot of harm.

Therefore, the editor suggests that ladies should change their balanced diet and eat less foods that are not conducive to replenishing qi and blood, such as cold food, fried food, etc. Eat more nutritious foods, such as jujube, carrots, donkey-hide gelatin cake, etc., to replenish qi and blood from the perspective of dietotherapy.

2. Do moderate exercise to replenish qi and blood

Women with both Qi and blood deficiency are not suitable for doing a lot of exercise, because a lot of exercise will consume too much energy, which is unexpected for women with both Qi and blood deficiency.

However, not exercising is very detrimental to health. Therefore, the editor recommends that ladies with qi and blood deficiency should do moderate exercise under the premise of supplementing the body with adequate nutrition. Women can choose to do some milder exercises, such as yoga, aerobics, Chen Tai Chi, etc., which can not only exercise and promote blood circulation, but also will not consume too much energy of the body.

3. Massage stimulating acupoints to replenish qi and blood

Persistent massage and stimulation of many acupoints on the human body can have the effect of replenishing qi and blood. This is also the lowest cost method of replenishing qi and blood. Female friends can try lightly pressing the armpits, temples, back of the head, cervical vertebrae, common carotid artery, etc. to promote the smooth circulation of qi and blood, and thus achieve the effect of "generating fire and promoting blood circulation".

4. Chinese herbal medicines regulate qi and blood

Regularly take Chinese herbal medicines such as jujube, lotus seeds, yam, walnut kernels, Chuanxiong, Codonopsis, Polygonum multiflorum, wolfberry, etc., and avoid drinking strong tea and cold foods that hurt the stomach and intestines, such as melon and mung bean.

You can use 15 grams of Codonopsis pilosula and 15 red dates, decoct them in water and drink them as tea; you can also use 60 grams of maltose syrup and 20 red dates, boil them in water and drink them; you can use 20 grams of Polygonum multiflorum, 20 grams of wolfberry, 60 grams of rice, 15 dates, add appropriate amount of old brown sugar and cook them into porridge for drinking, which can replenish qi and blood, and nourish qi and blood.

5. Mental state and sleep quality are very important

If a person is depressed for a long time, it will cause liver depression and qi stagnation, resulting in hidden depletion of blood and qi. A calm mental state and a good mood are prerequisites for women to maintain their blood and qi, which are beneficial to their health, can replenish the hematopoietic function, promote menstrual regulation, and thus be energetic and have a ruddy complexion.

To have a good mood, the next step is to have a good lifestyle and a regular schedule. Adequate sleep is the basis of all physical and mental health. Regular life, reasonable time arrangement, regular daily life, moderate sex life, and moderate entertainment can ensure the physical and mental health of female friends.

Causes of Qi and Blood Deficiency

1. Poor diet

Lack of dietary control, frequent hunger and fullness, and irregular meals; or picky eating, incomplete nutrition; or picky eating, particularly liking to eat cold, hot, spicy, fragrant, sweet, etc., can all lead to gastrointestinal damage, resulting in insufficient energy and materials for converting into blood qi, which will, over time, lead to deficiency of qi and blood.

2. Poor rest

If you have an irregular lifestyle for a long time in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, you may not sleep when you should. The body's qi and blood do not have time to repair. There is not enough time for hematopoietic function.

3. Lack of fitness exercise

The intensity of exercise is too low, the meridians cannot be unobstructed, and the road for blood and qi conversion is blocked. It will cause deficiency of both Qi and blood.

4. Excessive work desire

The physical work is too strenuous and overwork over the years will damage your energy. Qi deficiency will gradually lead to insufficient driving force for blood conversion, ultimately leading to Qi and blood deficiency. In addition, using the brain too much will directly cause deficiency of qi and blood in the lungs and stomach.

Qi and blood deficiency symptoms

1. Look at the eyes: As the saying goes "white hair on the temples", it actually means that the color of the whites of the eyes is becoming more and more turbid, yellow, and bloody, which indicates deficiency of Qi and blood. If your eyes can be opened wide at any time, it means that your blood is sufficient. On the contrary, big eye bags, dry eyes, and heavy eyelids all mean deficiency of qi and blood.

2. Look at the skin. White skin with a hint of pink, glossiness, elasticity, no wrinkles and no spots means abundant blood. On the contrary, rough, dull, dark, yellowing, whitish, pale, red, and spotted skin all mean that the body is weak and has deficiency of Qi and blood.
