What are the symptoms of kidney deficiency and blood deficiency in women?

If a woman suffers from kidney deficiency and insufficient qi and blood, it will have adverse effects on her health and life. She will often show symptoms such as insomnia, forgetfulness, sallow complexion, numbness of hands and feet, or restlessness, so she needs to pay attention to the regulation of qi and blood.

1. Forgetfulness and palpitations. The heart controls blood vessels and is also responsible for a person's mental activities. If the heart's qi and blood are insufficient, the mind will not be nourished, so it often manifests as palpitations, shortness of breath, and forgetfulness.

2. Blurred vision. “The liver opens up to the eyes.” Dry and blurred eyes and decreased visual function are often related to insufficient Qi and blood in the liver.

3. Pale complexion. The spleen and stomach are the source of Qi and blood production. If the spleen and stomach are weak, Qi and blood will be insufficient, the complexion will be sallow and dull, and it will be easy to feel tired and weak all over, and be lazy to speak.

4. Rough skin. Qi and blood have important nutritional and moisturizing effects on human skin. If the Qi and blood are insufficient, the skin will not be nourished, resulting in dry, rough, dark, yellow or dull skin, and even spots.

5. Dry hair. “Hair is the residue of blood”, which means that the growth of hair depends on the nourishment of blood, and the upward movement of “blood” depends on the promotion of “Qi”. Therefore, when Qi and blood are insufficient, the hair will be dry and dull.

6. Numbness in hands and feet. The liver stores blood, which can nourish the body's fascia and allow it to move freely. If the liver lacks qi and blood, the hands and feet will become numb, have difficulty flexing and extending, and may even experience spasms. In addition, fingernails and toenails are also parts of the tendons that extend to the body surface, so insufficient qi and blood in the liver will also manifest as thin and brittle nails, light color, deformation and cracking.

7. Insomnia and nightmares. If the heart and liver are deficient in qi and blood, the heart cannot store the spirit and the liver cannot store the soul, which often manifests as difficulty falling asleep, easy awakening or frequent dreams.

8. Small amount of menstrual flow. Women's menstruation is closely related to qi and blood. If qi and blood are insufficient, there will often be a decrease in menstrual volume or even menstruation cessation.

9. Dizziness and tinnitus. The function of the brain depends on the nourishment of Qi and blood, and the essence and blood, as well as the essence and Qi, can be mutually generated and transformed. If Qi and blood are insufficient and cannot supply the head and eyes, or it causes kidney essence deficiency, dizziness and tinnitus may be seen.

10. Tired and weak. "Qi" provides power for the functional activities of the internal organs of the human body. Abundant Qi can keep people energetic; "Blood" provides nutrients for muscles and tendons. Spleen deficiency leads to insufficient production of Qi and blood, resulting in fatigue and weakness.
