Why do women have qi and blood deficiency?

Compared with male friends, women are generally more concerned about the problem of ischemia in the body, because to some extent, the probability of women suffering from qi and blood deficiency is higher than that of men. The problem of qi and blood deficiency in women's bodies can actually have serious effects on a woman's body. Among them, irregular menstruation is the most direct symptom caused by qi and blood deficiency. At this time, only by understanding the reasons why women suffer from qi and blood deficiency can we prescribe the right medicine.

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

Long-term irregular lifestyle and not sleeping when necessary. 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.

5. Excessive sexual intercourse

There is another situation worth noting, that is, excessive sexual intercourse and excessive sexual life will cause damage to sperm. Essence and blood are from the same source. Severe loss of kidney essence will inevitably lead to deficiency of Qi and blood.

In addition, if you encounter injury, car accident, serious illness or critical illness. Or being injured by heavy rain, snow, or low temperature will damage Qi and blood in a short period of time; while chronic diseases and wasting diseases will slowly consume Qi and blood, leading to Qi and blood deficiency.

So how do you judge whether your Qi and blood are sufficient? Let’s take a look at the signs of insufficient Qi and blood in women.

Symptoms of insufficient blood in women

1. Look at the hair

Black, thick, smooth and shiny hair indicates sufficient Qi and blood; dry, falling and gray hair are all manifestations of insufficient Qi and blood in women.

2. Look at the eyes

As the saying goes, "People grow old and their eyes turn yellow." If the whites of the eyes become cloudy, yellow, bloodshot, and dry, this indicates that a woman is lacking in qi and blood.

3. Look at sleep

If a woman falls asleep quickly, sleeps soundly, breathes evenly, and wakes up naturally, it means that her Qi and blood are sufficient. However, if a woman has difficulty falling asleep, is easily startled and wakes up easily, breathes deeply, or snores, it means that her Qi and blood are insufficient.

4. Look at the skin

Skin that is white with a hint of pink, shiny, elastic, without wrinkles or spots indicates sufficient Qi and blood. On the contrary, rough, dull, dark, yellowish and spotted skin all indicate that a woman is in poor physical condition and lacks qi and blood.

5. Look at the half-moon on the nails

Under normal circumstances, the half-moon shape should be present on all fingers except the little finger. If there are no half-moons on the fingers or only on the thumb, it means that the woman has a lot of coldness in her body, poor circulation, and insufficient qi and blood.

6. Check your teeth

The main reason for loose and falling teeth is the weak alveolar bone, which is mostly caused by osteoporosis. Gum recession indicates insufficient Qi and blood. When you notice that the gaps between your teeth have become larger and it becomes easier for food to get stuck in your teeth, you should pay attention to your physical condition.

7. Listen to the sound

A person's voice is also a representation of qi and blood. People with sufficient qi and blood have loud and powerful voices, which is also an important manifestation of sufficient lung qi. If the Qi and blood are abnormal, it will also be reflected in the person's voice. People with excessive liver qi or hyperactivity of liver yang often shout loudly; people with stagnant liver qi will sigh.

Experts remind that if a woman shows signs of insufficient qi and blood, she should consult a professional doctor as soon as possible and request a diagnosis and treatment from the doctor. Especially for women who suffer from poor sleep and memory loss due to insufficient qi and blood, they should seek effective treatment as soon as possible to avoid worsening of the condition and leading to more serious consequences.
