What are the symptoms of Qi and blood deficiency?

The problem of both qi and blood deficiency must be taken seriously and regulated. People with both qi and blood deficiency are usually prone to a series of symptoms in life, such as insomnia, dry skin, dry hair, dry stools, etc., so we must pay attention to scientific conditioning and solutions.

1. What are the clinical manifestations of blood deficiency syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine?

Blood is an important material basis for human life activities. It contains various nutrients needed by the human body. Under the joint action of the heart and lungs, blood reaches the internal organs and the tendons and bones, playing a nutritional role for all organs and tissues in the body. However, if deficiency of Qi and blood is caused by various reasons, a series of diseases and symptoms may occur. The symptoms can be mainly summarized as two causes: lack of nourishment to the internal organs and failure of blood to carry qi.

2. Lack of nourishment to the internal organs

The general manifestations of lack of nourishment to the internal organs are pale complexion, dull lips and nails, dizziness, numbness of limbs, stiffness of tendons and veins, palpitations, insomnia, dry skin, dry hair, as well as dry stools and difficulty urinating.

Since the heart governs blood and the liver stores blood, blood deficiency clinically mainly manifests itself in the heart and liver. Symptoms of insufficient heart blood include palpitations, insomnia, dreaminess, restlessness, etc. If the liver blood is deficient and cannot nourish the upper organs, the complexion will be dull, dizziness, tinnitus, dry eyes, blurred vision or night vision. If the liver blood cannot nourish the tendons and veins, the limbs will be numb, the tendons and veins will be tight, and the muscles will tremble. Since Chinese medicine believes that the liver governs the tendons and the nails are the remnants of the tendons, if the liver blood is deficient, the nails will not be nourished and will become dry, thin, brittle and cracked. According to the Five Elements Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the heart is the son of the liver, and the liver is the son of the kidneys. According to the principle of nourishing the mother when deficient and Yang giving birth to Yin, when treating, nourishing the heart often also includes nourishing the liver, and nourishing the liver often includes nourishing the kidneys. In cases where blood deficiency is more serious, drugs that replenish the spleen and lung qi are often added to blood-replenishing prescriptions.

3. Blood does not carry air

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that blood is the mother of qi, qi relies on blood to attach, and blood carries qi to move. When blood is deficient, qi has no place to attach to, and thus it becomes weak. Therefore, blood deficiency is often accompanied by qi deficiency. Patients not only have symptoms of blood deficiency, but also symptoms of qi deficiency such as shortness of breath, laziness to speak, low voice, fatigue, shortness of breath and spontaneous sweating. Chronic blood loss syndrome caused by blood deficiency and qi deficiency is common in clinical practice. Especially in cases of severe blood loss, the Qi is lost along with the blood, and at this time the loss of Qi becomes the main contradiction. When the atmosphere sinks, you may feel short of breath, or have difficulty breathing, or your breathing may stop and you may be in danger at any moment.
