Why do women lack blood?

I believe that many women who have just given birth will feel dizzy, weak limbs, cold hands and feet and other symptoms. However, I found that eating a lot of nutritious substances in the diet did not improve these symptoms. After going to the hospital for examination, the doctors generally said that this was caused by insufficient Qi and blood. It seems that insufficient Qi and blood has always been a disease that troubles women. So why do women suffer from insufficient Qi and blood? I believe that as long as we find the reason, our symptoms will be improved. So let’s go check it out!

There are many reasons for women's lack of qi and blood, such as: weak spleen and stomach, insufficient diet, excessive blood loss, kidney deficiency, excessive fatigue, etc. Among them, most women suffer from insufficient Qi and blood due to irregular lifestyle, excessive menstrual bleeding, physical weakness after abortion, and lack of timely recuperation. First find out the cause of the deficiency of qi and blood, then adjust the diet accordingly, and you can also take medicine to replenish qi and nourish blood.

(1) Weak spleen and stomach

The basic substances for the production of blood mainly come from the essence of water and grain produced by the spleen and stomach. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine says: "The middle burner receives qi and takes juice, which changes and turns red, and is called blood." The Standards of Diagnosis and Treatment says: "The spleen and stomach are the fathers of qi and blood." A strong spleen and stomach function can transform the essence of food and water into Qi and blood. If one has an irregular diet or has liver and gallbladder diseases that affect the spleen and stomach, the spleen and stomach functions will be weakened, the essence will be insufficient, and there will be no source of metabolism, which will lead to blood deficiency over time. Blood deficiency can further cause dysfunction of other organs.

(2) Insufficient diet

The internal organs of the human body are nourished by qi, blood, body fluids, and qi, blood, body fluids, which are produced by the essence of water and grain. Yu Chang of the Qing Dynasty said in "Medical Laws": "Eating more can produce blood, while eating less can not produce blood." If the amount of food consumed is insufficient and hunger occurs for a long time, the production of Qi and blood will be blocked, which will inevitably lead to blood deficiency. In addition, although the food intake is sufficient, if one is too picky about food, there will also be a lack of raw materials for blood production, resulting in insufficient biochemical sources, blood deficiency, and other diseases.

(3) Excessive blood loss

Excessive blood loss from trauma, menorrhagia, or other chronic blood loss syndromes can all cause blood deficiency syndrome. In addition, due to bleeding, blood stasis will occur over time and the blood vessels will be blocked, which will cause rebleeding on the one hand and affect the production of new blood on the other hand, thereby aggravating blood deficiency.

The above brief paragraphs tell us very well the various reasons that lead to insufficient qi and blood in women. I believe that after reading them carefully, the majority of female friends will have an accurate conclusion in their minds. Therefore, I hope that everyone can pay more attention to it in daily life. Not only should they eat more blood-enriching foods with high iron content, but they should also arrange their sleep time reasonably.
