What to do if women have both Qi and blood deficiency

Due to their special physiological structure, women are prone to deficiency of both Qi and blood. Many women now have this problem. Qi and blood play an important role in protecting women. When qi and blood are sufficient, all aspects of the body are good. Otherwise, many symptoms will appear. So what should we eat to prevent deficiency of qi and blood? This is very simple. The most important thing is to keep warm during menstruation. When the weather is cold, remember to put on more clothes. Don't freeze yourself just because you have a good figure.

1. Symptoms of deficiency of both Qi and blood in women include irregular menstruation, yellow face, dark circles under the eyes, low libido, vaginal dryness, general fatigue, dizziness, back pain, insomnia and forgetfulness, irritability, loose skin, premature facial wrinkles, premature graying of hair, hair loss, etc.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine has classic tonic prescriptions for insufficient Qi and blood. Among them, Sijunzi Decoction is often used for qi deficiency, and its ingredients include ginseng or codonopsis pilosula, white atractylodes, poria, and licorice. Siwu Decoction is used for blood deficiency, which consists of Rehmannia glutinosa, Angelica sinensis, White Peony Root, and Chuanxiong. People who suffer from both Qi and blood deficiency can use the Bazhen Soup which is a combination of the above two prescriptions. For those with severe deficiency of qi and blood, you can add astragalus and cinnamon to the Bazhen Decoction to make the Shiquan Dabu Decoction.

3. If you adopt the method of diet therapy, it is recommended that people with qi deficiency can choose to cook porridge with astragalus, white lentils, jujube, yam, lily, lotus seeds, coix seeds, etc.; people with blood deficiency can often eat angelica, ginger and mutton soup. The method is to cook the soup with one pound of mutton, three taels of angelica and three taels of ginger. Persistently using moxibustion or pressing acupoints such as Guanyuan (located four horizontal fingers below the navel), Qihai (located two horizontal fingers below the navel), Zusanli (located four horizontal fingers directly below the outer knee), and Sanyinjiao (located four horizontal fingers directly above the tip of the inner ankle) can also have a very positive effect on regulating insufficient Qi and blood.

4. Another essential part of regulating qi and blood is exercise. You can practice relaxing exercises such as yoga, Tai Chi, Ba Duan Jin, and standing meditation at ordinary times. These are especially suitable for those who do mental work and those who don’t like sports.

I hope the above can give you some reference. Daily maintenance and precautions cannot be ignored. You can tell whether you have a deficiency of Qi and blood by looking at your eyes and complexion. There are many symptoms of Qi and blood deficiency. Irregular menstruation or premature menopause are all symptoms of a deficiency of Qi and blood. If you have recently discovered that you are afraid of cold, your menstruation has become irregular, and you have trouble sleeping, then you should pay attention to it. Early intervention is the most important.
