Qi and blood are the most basic substances for maintaining human life activities. When Qi and blood are abundant, the body is healthy. As the saying goes, "Qi is the leader of blood, and blood is the mother of Qi". Qi and blood influence and depend on each other. If there is a loss, it will have a certain impact on health!

Qi deficiency:

Those who experience Qi deficiency are mostly caused by insufficient biochemistry or excessive dissipation in the body, mainly manifested as mental fatigue, physical exhaustion, easy dizziness, poor resistance, and so on!

Blood deficiency:

Blood deficiency is often caused by excessive blood loss, prolonged illness, and exhaustion. The main symptoms include pale complexion, dizziness, palpitations, and emaciation!

Qi and blood deficiency:

Individuals with qi and blood deficiency often exhibit symptoms such as palpitations, frequent dreams, pale complexion, numbness in limbs, and dry skin!

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that if yin and yang are harmonious, qi and blood are strong, and meridians are smooth, then all diseases will not arise. Therefore, nourishing qi and blood is crucial for human health.

It can be adjusted through five steps:

Regulating the spleen and stomach

The spleen and stomach are the source of qi and blood biochemistry. According to "Ling Shu · Jueqi", blood is generated through the transformation of the spleen and stomach. Therefore, if treating blood syndrome, it is necessary to pay attention to regulating the spleen and stomach!

Dietary adjustments can include eating more ingredients that can strengthen the spleen and stomach, such as pumpkin, yam, lotus seeds, beans, Job's tears, etc. In addition, you can also decoct and take "Shenqi Zhucha": take 5 grams of Codonopsis pilosula, 5 grams of Astragalus membranaceus, 3 grams of Atractylodes macrocephala, 3 grams of Chinese yam, and 3 grams of Cimicifuga. Take 400 grams of their decoction and 5 grams of brewed flower tea, and drink until the taste is light. It has the effect of tonifying the spleen and qi, promoting yang, and stopping diarrhea.

Two nourishing liver and blood

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "liver depression leads to spleen deficiency". The liver stores blood, regulates the flow of qi and helps to promote the circulation of the spleen and stomach. Therefore, nourishing the liver and blood is also a very important step in regulating qi and blood.

Angry emotions can damage the liver and spleen, leading to the depletion of qi and blood. Therefore, we should pay attention to not getting angry, staying up late, sleeping more, and "prolonged vision can damage blood". People who frequently use their eyes also need to pay attention to eye care to prevent the depletion of qi and blood.

Three food Tonic Diet

Tonic Diet is a common way to replenish qi and blood, and it also has a quick effect. You can eat "Sijunzi Decoction" to replenish qi. Take 10g ginseng, 9g atractylodes macrocephala, 9g poria cocos, 6g roasted liquorice, and stew it with mutton. Blood tonifying can be done with "Siwu Tang". Take 9 grams of white peony, Angelica sinensis, Rehmannia glutinosa, and Chuanxiong, put them into 250 milliliters of water, boil to 150 milliliters, and take hot on an empty stomach. (This article aims to popularize science, and patients need to take medication under the guidance of a physician.)

There are also some excellent products in traditional Chinese medicine that can nourish qi and blood, such as Angelica sinensis, Chuanxiong, Rehmannia glutinosa, Goji berries, Astragalus membranaceus, etc., all of which have good effects on regulating the body's qi and nourishing blood!

Four Far Cold Evil

Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that 'when the blood is warm, it will move; when it is cold, it will coagulate.' Cold pathogenic factors can cause blood stasis, leading to blockages in the meridians and blood biochemistry, which can cause significant harm to our body.

We should pay attention to staying away from cold pathogens. In winter, we should keep warm, and in summer, we should not be too cold. We should soak our feet in warm water frequently and do massages regularly, which are good for our body!

Five movements

Exercise is very important for physical health. We all know that people who exercise regularly have a rosy and shiny complexion, and look vibrant. This is because exercise helps the spleen and stomach convert nutrients into qi and blood for the body to use, and can also clear the meridians, making qi and blood full!

When choosing exercise, it is best to choose some slow exercises and remember vigorous exercises such as jogging, swimming, playing ball, yoga, tai chi, etc. This is more beneficial for physical health!

If there is sufficient Qi, blood will be abundant, Qi and blood will be strong, meridians will be smooth, and all diseases will not arise. So Qi and blood are also an essential part of the process of health preservation, and are crucial for physical health!
