How to regulate qi and blood deficiency

Qi and blood are important determinants of human health. If both Qi and blood are deficient, it will have a great impact on human health. If it is not adjusted in time, it will cause more serious health problems. If you want to improve the symptoms of qi and blood deficiency, you need to start from regulating the spleen and stomach, nourishing the liver and blood, eating medicated food, staying away from cold evil, and exercising more. Below I will introduce in detail the methods to regulate insufficient Qi and blood.

1. Regulate the spleen and stomach

The spleen and stomach are the source of the production of qi and blood. "Lingshu Jueqi" believes that blood is produced through the transportation and transformation of the spleen and stomach, so if you want to treat blood diseases, you need to pay attention to regulating the spleen and stomach.

For diet adjustment, you can eat more pumpkin, yam, lotus seeds, lentils, coix seeds and other foods that strengthen the spleen and stomach. In addition, you can also decoct "Ginseng, Astragalus and Atractylodes Tea": take 5 grams of Codonopsis pilosula, 5 grams of Astragalus, 3 grams of Atractylodes, 3 grams of Chinese yam, and 3 grams of Cimicifuga, take 400 grams of the decoction, brew 5 grams of flower tea, and drink it until the taste is light. It has the effect of nourishing the spleen and replenishing qi, raising yang and stopping diarrhea.

2. Nourishing Liver and Blood

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "liver depression leads to spleen deficiency". The liver stores blood and is responsible for the regulation of qi and blood, which helps the spleen and stomach to function properly. Therefore, nourishing the liver and blood is also a very important step in regulating qi and blood.

Violent emotions can damage the liver and spleen, leading to loss of Qi and blood, so we should be careful not to get angry, stay up late, pay more attention to sleep, and "long-term viewing hurts the blood", so people who use their eyes frequently also need to pay attention to eye care to prevent loss of Qi and blood.

3. Medicinal Food

Medicinal food is a common way to replenish qi and blood, and it is effective quickly. To replenish qi, you can eat "Sijunzi Soup", which is made up of 10 grams of ginseng, 9 grams of Atractylodes macrocephala, 9 grams of Poria cocos, and 6 grams of roasted licorice, and stew it with mutton. "Siwu Decoction" can be used to replenish blood. Take 9 grams each of white peony root, angelica, rehmannia root, and chuanxiong, put them into 250 ml of water, boil it until 150 ml remains, and drink it hot on an empty stomach. (This article is intended for popular science, and patients need to take medication under the guidance of a physician.)

Exceptionally, there are also some excellent traditional Chinese medicines that can replenish qi and nourish blood. For example, angelica, chuanxiong, rehmannia, wolfberry, astragalus, etc. all have good effects on regulating the body's qi and blood.

4. Keep away from cold evil

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "blood flows when it is warm, and coagulates when it is cold". The cold evil can cause blood stasis, leading to poor meridians and obstruction of the production of qi and blood, which can cause considerable harm to our body.

We should be careful to stay away from cold evil, keep warm in winter, avoid being greedy for coolness in summer, soak our feet in warm water frequently, and massage frequently, which is good for the body.

5. Exercise more

Exercise is very important for physical health. We all know that people who exercise regularly have rosy and shiny complexions and look full of vitality. This is because exercise helps the spleen and stomach convert nutrients into qi and blood for the body to use, and it can also dredge the meridians and replenish qi and blood.

When choosing sports, it is best to choose some slow sports and avoid strenuous sports, such as jogging, swimming, playing ball, yoga, Tai Chi, etc. This is more beneficial to your health.
