What are the methods for regulating qi deficiency and blood deficiency?

In daily life, we often see many women with pale complexions and listless spirits. This is all caused by deficiency of Qi and blood. We can achieve the effect of replenishing Qi and blood in the body through daily diet adjustments, but this method of adjustment is relatively troublesome. It should not only be adjusted from the diet aspect, but also from many aspects such as living habits. When necessary, medication can be used as an auxiliary treatment.

First of all, diet adjustment is very important. You should eat more nutritious foods rich in high-quality protein, trace elements, folic acid and vitamin B12, such as red dates, lotus seeds, longan meat, walnuts, hawthorn, pork liver, pig blood, eel, sea cucumber, black chicken, eggs, spinach, carrots, black fungus, black sesame, shrimp, brown sugar, etc. They are rich in nutrients and have the effect of nourishing blood and activating blood circulation.

There are many reasons for the deficiency of qi and blood. The basic substances of natural blood mainly come from the essence of water and grain produced by the spleen and stomach. 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. After a long time, deficiency of both Qi and blood will occur. Blood deficiency can further affect the functions of other organs.

For some patients with severe qi and blood deficiency, we will take important conditioning methods. Commonly used blood-enriching Chinese medicines include natural Chinese medicines such as angelica, Chuanxiong, safflower, rehmannia, peach kernel, Codonopsis, Astragalus, Polygonum multiflorum, wolfberry, yam, donkey-hide gelatin, salvia miltiorrhiza, rose, etc. Using these Chinese medicines and blood-enriching foods together to make delicious medicated meals can help improve physical condition.

In addition, for patients with both qi and blood deficiency, they should pay attention to eating more warming foods in their daily diet, and try to eat less cold foods, because these foods may cause indigestion. If conditions permit, you can do hand and foot massage every day. Massaging the corresponding acupoints can promote meridian circulation in the body and is also very effective in regulating qi and blood in the body.
