What are the symptoms of spleen deficiency, qi and blood deficiency?

Spleen deficiency and insufficient qi and blood are a manifestation of sub-health in the human body. When suffering from insufficient Qi and blood, the human body often feels weak in the limbs, palpitations, insomnia and forgetfulness, and rough and dull skin. These are actually the symptoms of severe deficiency of Qi and blood. You can compare your own symptoms to regulate your qi and blood. Let’s take a look at the specific symptoms of spleen deficiency and qi and blood deficiency.

Symptoms of Qi and Blood Deficiency

I believe everyone is familiar with insufficient qi and blood. Insufficient qi and blood is a common problem among people. People with poor qi and blood have poor complexion and irregular menstruation. If this continues for a long time, various health problems will arise. What are the symptoms of insufficient Qi and blood? How can you know whether you have sufficient Qi and blood?

Qi and blood deficiency has the following symptoms

1. Forgetfulness and palpitations

If we experience forgetfulness and palpitations, we need to consider whether we are lacking in qi and blood. This is because the heart controls the blood vessels and is also responsible for a person's mental activities. If the heart's qi and blood are insufficient, the mind will not be nourished, so it often manifests as palpitations, shortness of breath, and forgetfulness.

2. Dizziness and tinnitus

Dizziness and tinnitus are common symptoms of insufficient Qi and blood. The function of the brain depends on the nourishment of Qi and blood, and essence and blood, as well as essence and Qi, can be mutually generated and transformed. If Qi and blood are insufficient and cannot supply the head and eyes, or it causes kidney essence deficiency, dizziness and tinnitus may be seen.

3. Pale complexion

The spleen and stomach are the source of Qi and blood production. If the spleen and stomach are weak, Qi and blood will be insufficient, the complexion will be sallow and dull, and it will be easy to feel tired and weak all over, and be lazy to speak.

4. Rough skin

Qi and blood have important nutritional and moisturizing effects on human skin. If the Qi and blood are insufficient, the skin will not be nourished, resulting in dry, rough, dark, yellow or dull skin, and even spots.

5. Blurred vision

“The liver opens up to the eyes.” Dry and blurred eyes and decreased visual function are often related to insufficient Qi and blood in the liver.

6. Dry hair

“Hair is the residue of blood”, which means that the growth of hair depends on the nourishment of blood, and the upward movement of “blood” depends on the promotion of “Qi”. Therefore, when Qi and blood are insufficient, the hair will be dry and dull.

7. Insomnia and dreaminess

If the heart and liver are deficient in qi and blood, the heart cannot store the spirit and the liver cannot store the soul, which often manifests as difficulty falling asleep, easy awakening or frequent dreams.

8. Numbness in hands and feet

The liver stores blood, which can nourish the body's fascia and allow it to move freely. If the liver lacks qi and blood, the hands and feet will become numb, have difficulty flexing and extending, and may even experience spasms. In addition, fingernails and toenails are also parts of the tendons that extend to the body surface, so insufficient qi and blood in the liver will also manifest as thin and brittle nails, light color, deformation and cracking.

9. Light menstrual flow

Women's menstruation is closely related to qi and blood. If qi and blood are insufficient, there will often be a decrease in menstrual volume or even menstruation cessation.

10. Fatigue and weakness

"Qi" provides power for the functional activities of the internal organs of the human body. Abundant Qi can keep people energetic; "Blood" provides nutrients for muscles and tendons. Spleen deficiency leads to insufficient production of Qi and blood, resulting in fatigue and weakness.

Traditional Chinese medicine says that there are two types of qi and blood deficiency: blood deficiency and qi deficiency. If you have blood deficiency, you can drink Siwu Decoction, while if you have qi deficiency, you can use Sijunzi Decoction. If you have both qi and blood deficiency, you can use Bazhen Decoction. Of course, it is not necessary to use drugs to replenish qi and blood. Doing some appropriate exercise on a regular basis can also achieve the effect of replenishing qi and blood, such as yoga, Tai Chi, Ba Duan Jin, standing still and other exercises.
