Dizziness, headache, general weakness during menstruation

Basically every woman will have menstruation when her body matures to a certain extent. When menstruation comes, the main symptom is bleeding from the female's lower body. Excessive bleeding from the lower body at this time can easily cause headaches, dizziness, and general weakness. Because menstruation is actually a time when the qi and blood are greatly depleted, what should be done when symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, and general weakness occur during menstruation?

The most effective way to treat Qi and blood deficiency

1. Change the dietary structure to replenish qi and blood

Modern women do not suffer from insufficient qi and blood because they do not eat enough. On the contrary, modern women eat a lot of food every day. It’s just that girls like to eat some cold drinks and sweets, which are not beneficial for replenishing qi and blood, but rather cause a lot of harm.

It is recommended that women should change their dietary structure and eat less foods that are not conducive to replenishing qi and blood, such as cold drinks, fried foods, etc. Eat more nutritious foods, such as red dates, carrots, donkey-hide gelatin, etc., and replenish qi and blood through food supplements.

2. Do moderate exercise to replenish qi and blood

Women with insufficient qi and blood are not suitable for doing extensive exercise, because doing extensive exercise will consume too much energy, which will make things worse for women with insufficient qi and blood.

However, not doing exercise is very bad for your health. Therefore, the editor recommends that women with insufficient qi and blood should do moderate exercise while supplementing their bodies with sufficient nutrition. Women can choose to do some gentler exercises, such as yoga, aerobics, Tai Chi, etc., which can not only exercise the body and promote blood circulation, but also will not consume excessive body energy.

3. Massage and stimulate acupoints to replenish qi and blood

Persistently massaging and stimulating many acupoints on the body can help replenish qi and blood. This is also the lowest-cost way to replenish qi and blood. Female friends can promote the smooth circulation of blood and qi by pressing the armpits, temples, back of the head, cervical vertebrae, carotid artery, etc., thereby achieving the effect of "invigorating the body and replenishing blood".

4. Chinese medicine nourishes qi and blood

Regularly take Chinese medicinal materials such as red dates, lotus seeds, yam, walnuts, angelica, Codonopsis, Polygonum multiflorum, wolfberry, etc., and avoid drinking strong tea and cold foods that damage the spleen and stomach, such as watermelon and mung beans.

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

5. Attitude and sleep are important

If a person is depressed for a long time, it will cause liver qi stagnation and cause hidden depletion of qi and blood. A peaceful mind and a good mood are the primary conditions for women to maintain their qi and blood. They are beneficial to physical and mental health, and can also invigorate hematopoietic function and promote menstrual blood regulation, thereby making them energetic and having a rosy complexion.

After having a good mood, what you need next is good living habits and a regular schedule. Adequate sleep is the foundation of all health.

Causes of Qi and Blood Deficiency

1. Improper diet

Lack of restraint in eating, irregular hunger and fullness, not eating on time; or picky eating, incomplete nutrition; or picky eating, particularly liking to eat cold, hot, spicy, fragrant, sweet, etc., will cause damage to the spleen and stomach, resulting in insufficient energy and raw materials for the production of Qi and blood, which will cause Qi and blood deficiency over time.

2. Lack of sleep

If you have irregular living habits for a long time, you will not sleep when you should. The body's blood and qi do not have time to recover. There is not enough time for blood production.

3. Lack of exercise

If you exercise too little, your meridians will not be unobstructed and the path for the generation of Qi and blood will be blocked. It will lead to insufficient Qi and blood.

4. Overwork

Excessive physical labor and overwork over the years will damage your energy. Qi deficiency gradually leads to insufficient blood production, ultimately resulting in deficiency of both Qi and blood. In addition, excessive mental work can directly cause blood deficiency in the heart, spleen and intestines.
