Woman's hands and feet are weak and limbs are weak

Because of women's special physiological phenomena, it is easy for women to feel weak in their hands and feet and limbs, and they feel listless. The main reason why women's hands and feet become weak is due to physical weakness. In traditional Chinese medicine, physical weakness is divided into four different types: Qi deficiency, blood deficiency, Yin deficiency and Yang deficiency. The type of physical weakness should be determined according to your own situation, and then targeted conditioning should be carried out so that the body can recover to a healthy state as soon as possible.

Physical weakness

Women will lose blood periodically throughout their lives. Whether it is menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding, these are all blood-consuming behaviors. Therefore, women are very prone to insufficient qi and blood, which can lead to physical weakness.

The fast-paced modern life has caused most young mothers to have unhealthy lifestyles such as lack of exercise, insufficient sleep, poor rest, and irregular diet, which are the main reasons for the widespread physical weakness among young mothers.

Young mothers focus on their children. In order to take care of their children, they often eat too fast, like to eat raw and cold foods, and use fruit as their staple food. These are all against the principles of health preservation and seriously damage their own qi and blood.

Moreover, they are bothered by children all day long and are often woken up by them in the middle of the night. It is not surprising that these reasons lead to lack of sleep, continuous fatigue and physical weakness among young mothers.

Identify your physical condition and take appropriate supplements

You should identify your personal constitution before taking supplements. Most people who need tonic supplements suffer from deficiency syndrome.
