Woman feels cold despite having hot body

Why is it that a woman feels cold even though her body is hot? This situation cannot be ruled out as a manifestation of female qi and blood deficiency. Female friends with both Qi and blood deficiency are particularly prone to such symptoms. This is usually caused by poor sleep and physical fatigue. Therefore, women should take better care of their bodies than men, exercise more often and improve their physical fitness. Let me share with you some relevant knowledge about female qi and blood deficiency.

Causes of Qi and Blood Deficiency in Women

Lack of exercise. If you exercise too little, your meridians will not be unobstructed, the path of Qi and blood production will be blocked, and this will lead to Qi and blood deficiency.

Lack of sleep. Long-term irregular lifestyle and not sleeping when necessary will prevent the body's blood and qi from recovering and there will not be enough time for blood production.

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

Overwork. Excessive physical labor and overwork over the years will damage Qi, and Qi deficiency will gradually lead 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.

Accidental injury. If you are injured, have a car accident, suffer a serious illness, or are harmed by heavy rain, snow, or low temperatures, your Qi and blood will be damaged in a short period of time. Chronic diseases and wasting diseases will slowly consume Qi and blood, leading to Qi and blood deficiency.

Improper diet. Lack of restraint in eating, irregular hunger and fullness, and failure to eat on time; or picky eating and incomplete nutrition; or picky eating and a particular liking for 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 lead to Qi and blood deficiency over time.

How to tell if you have Qi and blood deficiency

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the standard of a person's health is sufficient Qi and blood. The organs of the human body are just like people. They will have energy to work only when they are full. And blood is the "food" of the organs.

Look at the eyes

Looking at the eyes is actually looking at the color of the whites of the eyes. As the saying goes, "People grow old and their eyes turn yellow," it actually means that the color of the whites of the eyes becomes turbid, yellow, and bloodshot, which indicates that you are lacking in qi and blood. If you can open your eyes wide at any time, it means that your Qi and blood are sufficient. On the contrary, big eye bags, dry eyes, and heavy eyelids all indicate insufficient Qi and blood.

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, yellow, white, blue, red, and spotted skin all indicate poor physical condition and insufficient Qi and blood.
