Will women with poor qi and blood die young?

Will poor qi and blood lead to a short life?

Most women are in poor health to a certain extent. They feel listless and distracted every day, and often experience dizziness, palpitations, shortness of breath, fatigue, etc. They have not yet realized the seriousness of their physical condition and think that they are just under too much stress or lack of rest. In fact, all this is caused by poor qi and blood.

If the human body is compared to a growing plant, Qi is the sunlight and blood is the rain and dew. The two work together on the human body, making it grow healthily. Once the Qi and blood are insufficient, the body's functions will completely collapse.

It is no exaggeration to say that no woman with insufficient qi and blood will live a long life! Read on and you will understand why there is such a saying.

First, let’s take a look at what Qi and blood are?

Qi and blood are the general terms for Qi and blood in the human body in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Qi and blood have different functions but are interdependent to nourish organs and tissues and maintain life activities.

The function of Qi is mainly to warm the body and resist the invasion of external pathogens, while also participating in the metabolism of organ functions.

When the blood is abundant, the mind is refreshed and the thinking is quick. Insufficient blood will cause mental confusion, palpitations and anxiety.

It turns out that the energy generated by the "original substance of life" is "Qi". This is a very important concept in traditional Chinese medicine because it is regarded as the basic driving force for human growth and development, organ functioning, and the transport, transfer and excretion of substances in the body. As the saying goes, "to stop breathing" indicates the death of an organism. Without breath, there is no life. Do you think this breath is important?

What problems will arise from insufficient qi and blood?

Qi and blood deficiency is a concept in traditional Chinese medicine, and most patients with qi and blood deficiency are women. Qi and blood are both carriers of life, and together they nourish the body and enable it to function normally and harmoniously. Due to menstruation, physical constitution and other reasons, women are prone to insufficient qi and blood.

(1) Insufficient Qi and Blood Causes Impaired Organ Function

Deficiency of Qi and blood refers to Qi deficiency and blood deficiency in traditional Chinese medicine. Insufficient Qi and blood will result in decreased organ function and cause premature aging.

Qi deficiency means that the functions of internal organs decline and the ability to resist disease is poor. Symptoms of qi deficiency include chills and cold limbs, spontaneous sweating, dizziness and tinnitus, mental depression, fatigue, palpitations, shortness of breath, and developmental delay. Blood is the red liquid that flows in the meridians. The more common term for blood deficiency is lack of blood.

Symptoms of blood deficiency include dull and sallow complexion, dry skin, withered hair, cracked nails, blurred vision, numbness of hands and feet, insomnia, frequent dreams, forgetfulness, palpitations, and mental confusion.

(2) Qi and blood deficiency causes premature aging

If a woman lacks qi and blood, she will suffer from symptoms of blood deficiency, namely anemia, such as sallow complexion, pale lips and nails, stiff limbs, dry hair, dizziness, blurred vision, fatigue, and shortness of breath. People with severe anemia are also very prone to premature aging symptoms such as wrinkles, gray hair, tooth loss, and unsteady gait.

(3) Qi and blood imbalance can easily lead to gynecological diseases

If a woman's Qi and blood flow smoothly, her five internal organs will be in harmony, her Chong and Ren meridians will be unobstructed, and her menstruation and pregnancy will be normal. However, women are based on blood, and blood flows with qi. Due to menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, and lactation, they are prone to consume blood and damage qi, leading to qi and blood imbalance, affecting Chong and Ren, and causing gynecological diseases.

Nourish Qi and Blood, Don't Be a Short-lived Woman

Nine out of ten women are cold. Women have a yin and cold constitution. Most of them are born with insufficient qi and blood. The human vitality depends on the warmth of that breath. If there is no heat at all or even gradually drying up, can the vitality still be strong? Replenishing Qi and nourishing blood is not only for beauty, but also for living a good life. No woman wants to be a short-lived woman. Think about those who have worked hard all their lives and don’t care about their health. They think that it is enough to take good care of their men and children, but in the end they have all kinds of health problems and cannot enjoy family happiness.

Practical knowledge

Below I summarize some practical knowledge about insufficient Qi and blood. If you don’t save it, you will miss it later.

1. Why is winter the best time to replenish qi and blood?

In traditional Chinese medicine, the changes in the yin and yang of the human body's qi and blood and internal organs are different in different seasons. In winter, the human body's yang energy is hidden, the gastrointestinal function is best, and these substances can be best absorbed. Therefore, the effect of supplementation is best at this time. Winter is a season of storage, when all things are dormant and all nutrients and energy are hidden. At this time, people also need to store nutrients and conserve their energy so that their body functions will be very good by the second year. Therefore, the best season to replenish qi and nourish blood is winter.

2. How should people with phlegm-dampness and damp-heat constitution replenish qi and blood?

People with phlegm-dampness and damp-heat constitution should first eliminate dampness and adjust their constitution. At least half of the moisture in the body should be eliminated before they can replenish qi and nourish blood. Nowadays, many young friends often say that they have too much dampness and go for scraping therapy. It is true that scraping does have certain effects, but it is not suitable to be done frequently. And if your body is too weak, it is not suitable to do scraping to remove moisture from the body.

3.Which time of the day is the most effective in replenishing qi and blood?

Generally speaking, it is in the morning. 7 to 9 in the morning is the time when the stomach meridian flows, and 9 to 11 in the morning is the time when the spleen meridian flows. And you should eat a richer breakfast, as people's absorption and digestion are very strong at this time. If you skip breakfast, it will greatly affect your ability to replenish your qi and blood.
