7 signs of insufficient blood in women
Qi and blood deficiency is a concept in traditional Chinese medicine. Most patients with qi and blood deficiency are women. Qi and blood are both carriers of life, nourishing the body together and making the body function normally and harmoniously. However, due to menstruation, physical constitution and other reasons, women are prone to qi and blood deficiency, and need necessary health care.
Distinguishing details helps to predict diseases
The so-called "qi" refers to the power that enables human organs to function. It has physiological functions such as maintaining vitality, warming the body, and defending against external evil. "Qi" is like the "gasoline" of the human body, which drives the operation of the internal organs, keeps the body surface normal, and defends against various viruses. The "blood" mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine has two meanings. One is the "blood" flowing in the blood vessels mentioned by Western medicine, which has the physiological function of nourishing and nourishing the whole body; the second is the running carrier that exists with "qi". There is a saying in traditional Chinese medicine that "qi is the commander of blood, and blood is the mother of qi". Qi drives the operation of blood, and blood nourishes the abundance of qi. If the human body is compared to a growing plant, qi is the sun and blood is the rain and dew. The two work together on the human body to make it thrive. This is true not only for the entire human body, but also for each organ. Qi and blood can be found in some details of the human body. As long as these small details are distinguished, the running state of qi and blood in each organ can be recognized, which helps to predict diseases and maintain health.
1. Look at the eyes
Mainly look at the color and clarity of the eyes. Children all have a pair of clear eyes, while "old and yellow eyes" generally describe middle-aged people. Clear, bright and energetic eyes indicate sufficient qi and blood; cloudy and yellowish whites of the eyes indicate insufficient qi and blood in the liver; the whites of the eyes are closely related to the lungs and large intestine. If there are bloodshot eyes, it is mostly heat in the lungs and large intestine; large eye bags indicate spleen deficiency; dry eyes and heavy eyelids also represent insufficient qi and blood; if the eyes are dull and dark, it is a manifestation of qi and blood failure.
2. Look at the ears
The ears are a microcosm of the human body. Almost all changes in internal organs can be shown from the ears, and the most closely related one is the kidney. People often say "big ears bring good fortune". People with thick and big ears are a manifestation of sufficient kidney qi; people with thin and small ears are mostly deficient in kidney qi. Large, soft ears with more flesh and less bone, and full earlobes indicate that the person has a good congenital nutritional status; small, stiff ears with less flesh and more bone, and thin earlobes indicate that the person's physique is congenitally deficient. Pale ears are often seen in colds and colds, and are also seen in people with insufficient yang qi; red and swollen ears are mostly a manifestation of "getting angry", which is common in liver and gallbladder fire or damp heat; a clear diagonal line on the earlobe indicates weak heart qi; tinnitus and deafness both indicate weak kidney qi. People with nodular or cord-like protrusions, dot-like depressions, and no luster in the ears often indicate chronic organic diseases, such as cirrhosis and tumors. Excessive filling and expansion of local blood vessels in the ears, and changes such as circles and segments can be seen, are common in people with abnormal cardiopulmonary function, such as coronary heart disease, asthma, etc.
3. Look at the hands
First, the temperature of the hands is a direct manifestation of the body's qi and blood. If the qi and blood are sufficient, the hands are always warm. If the palms are hot or sweaty or the hands are cold, it means that the qi and blood are insufficient. If the finger pulp is flat, weak or the fingertips are thin, it means that the qi and blood are insufficient, while if the finger pulp is full and the flesh is elastic, it means that the qi and blood are sufficient. Brief content: If the finger pulp is flat, weak or the fingertips are thin, it means that the qi and blood are insufficient, while if the finger pulp is full and the flesh is elastic, it means that the qi and blood are sufficient. Thick, strong and elastic palms generally indicate sufficient qi and blood and strong physique; if the palms are thick but weak and have poor elasticity, they are mostly poor in energy and fatigue. Thick, strong and elastic palms generally indicate sufficient qi and blood and strong physique; if the palms are thick but weak and have poor elasticity, they are mostly poor in energy and fatigue. Soft, thin and weak palms are mostly weak in energy and weak in body. There is a half-moon-shaped "little moon" on the fingernails of people. Under normal circumstances, all the fingernails except the little finger should have a half-moon shape. If there is no half-moon shape on the finger or only the thumb has a half-moon shape, it means that the body is cold and the qi and blood are insufficient.
4. Look at the skin
Mainly look at the luster, elasticity and wrinkles. The skin is closely related to the lungs. The skin is white with pink, shiny, elastic, wrinkle-free and spot-free, which means that the lungs have sufficient qi and blood. On the contrary, rough, dull, dark, yellow, white, blue, red and spotted skin all represent poor physical condition and insufficient qi and blood. In addition, complexion is also a "barometer" of qi and blood. Pale complexion means insufficient kidney qi, and sallow complexion means insufficient liver qi.
5. Look at teeth
The teeth are most closely related to the kidneys. For example, problems such as sparse teeth, loose teeth and exposed tooth roots in adults are mostly due to kidney deficiency. Gums are related to the gastrointestinal tract. If simple red and swollen gums appear, it is mostly caused by rising stomach fire, and it may also be related to gastritis. The main reason for loose and falling teeth is that the alveolar bone is not strong, and the weak alveolar bone is mostly caused by osteoporosis. Gum atrophy represents insufficient qi and blood. When you find that the gap between your teeth has become larger and it is easier to get stuck in your teeth, you should pay attention to your physical condition.
6. Listen to the sound
The human voice is also a representative of qi and blood. People with sufficient qi and blood have a loud and powerful voice, which is also an important manifestation of sufficient lung qi. If the qi and blood are abnormal, the human voice will also show it. For example, people with excessive liver qi or hyperactivity of liver yang often shout and scream; people with stagnant liver qi will sigh.
7. Look at sleep
Falling asleep quickly, sleeping soundly, breathing evenly, and sleeping until waking up naturally indicate that the qi and blood are sufficient; people who have difficulty falling asleep, are easily startled and wake up easily, have frequent nocturia, breathe deeply or snore, all have the manifestation of qi and blood deficiency. In addition, loving to sleep is also a manifestation of qi and blood deficiency. Qi and blood deficiency should be regulated in time. If there are no typical pathological symptoms, you can first choose to drink chicken soup to replenish qi; or use 15 grams of Codonopsis or Astragalus to boil water to replenish qi. Angelica has the effect of replenishing blood and is suitable for people with blood deficiency. In addition to diet, you should also reduce the pressure of life. When the above typical symptoms appear, you should see a doctor in time.
