What to do if there is insufficient Qi and blood?

We often say that a person is weak and not strong. Generally, this kind of weakness is divided into two categories. One is Qi deficiency and the other is blood deficiency. When our body feels unwell, it is usually caused by insufficient Qi and blood. Therefore, if you want to regulate your body, you must start by nourishing blood and qi. Let’s start with the causes of Qi and Blood deficiency.

1. Causes of Qi and Blood Deficiency

Blood deficiency in traditional Chinese medicine refers to the pathological phenomenon of insufficient blood volume or abnormal blood quality or blood function. It is generally believed that the causes of blood deficiency include weak spleen and stomach, insufficient diet, excessive blood loss, deficiency of kidney qi, and overwork. The mechanisms of blood deficiency caused by these causes are as follows:

(1) Weak spleen and stomach

The basic substances for producing blood mainly come from the essence of water and grain metabolized by the spleen and stomach. "Nei Jing" says: "The middle burner receives qi and takes juice, which changes and becomes red, which is called blood." "Principles of Syndrome and Treatment" says: "The spleen and stomach are the father of qi and blood." The spleen and stomach function is strong and can convert the ingested water and grain essence into qi and blood. If there is improper diet or liver and gallbladder diseases that invade the spleen and stomach, the function of the spleen and stomach will be weakened, the essence will be insufficient, and the biochemistry will be inactive. Over time, blood deficiency will occur. Blood deficiency can further cause dysfunction of other organs.

(2) Insufficient diet

Human organs are nourished by qi, blood and body fluids, and qi, blood and body fluids are transformed by the essence of water and grain. Yu Chang of the Qing Dynasty said in "Medical Law": "If you eat too much, you can produce blood; if you eat too little, you can't produce blood." Insufficient diet, long-term hunger, and loss of Qi and blood biochemistry will inevitably lead to blood deficiency. In addition, although the diet is sufficient, but the appetite is partial, there will also be a lack of hematopoietic raw materials, resulting in insufficient biochemical sources, resulting in blood deficiency and other diseases.

(3) Excessive blood loss

Excessive blood loss due to trauma, menorrhagia, or other chronic blood loss syndromes can cause blood deficiency syndrome. In addition, due to bleeding, internal obstruction of blood stasis and blocked veins will occur over time. On the one hand, it will cause further bleeding, and on the other hand, it will also affect the production of new blood, thereby aggravating blood deficiency.

(4) Kidney Qi deficiency

The kidneys store essence, which generates marrow, and the essence can transform blood. If the innate endowment is insufficient, acquired malnutrition and excessive labor can cause kidney deficiency, kidney deficiency will lead to less essence, and essence deficiency will lead to blood deficiency.

(5) Overwork

Serious or long-term illness consumes essence and energy, or sweating, vomiting, and bleeding damage yang qi and yin fluid; vigorous labor consumes energy and damages qi and blood, which will last for a long time. This can lead to qi deficiency and blood deficiency; overworking the mind can easily lead to yin-blood depletion, heart-blood deficiency, etc., which can lead to blood deficiency.

2. Symptoms of deficiency of both Qi and blood

Deficiency of both Qi and blood generally manifests as dizziness, lack of energy and laziness, fatigue and spontaneous sweating, pale or sallow complexion, palpitations, insomnia, tongue Light and tender, thin and weak pulse, etc.

3. Treatment methods for qi and blood deficiency

The principles and methods of traditional Chinese medicine for treating qi and blood deficiency include strengthening the spleen and stomach, replenishing qi and generating blood, tonifying the kidney and generating blood, and removing blood stasis and generating blood. , detoxify and produce blood, etc. How can we effectively treat Qi and Blood deficiency?
