In my diagnosis and treatment practice, I have encountered many middle-aged and elderly women who are troubled by lack of qi and blood. Among them, there is a middle-aged lady's case that is particularly impressive. Her name is Aunt Li, 50 years old, due to the pressure of continuous work, staying up late for a long time, gradually feeling physically exhausted, and her face gradually lost its former brilliance. At first, she didn't pay attention to these subtle changes, until one day, she suddenly noticed in the mirror that her face was dull, dark circles appeared under her eyes, and her hair became dry and frivolous. These apparent changes worried her very much.
At first, Aunt Li thought it was just an ordinary aging phenomenon, but as time went by, her symptoms did not improve, but became more severe. So she came to my clinic, and after careful examination and inquiring about her lifestyle habits, I told her that these problems were actually related to lack of qi and blood. Therefore, we began to focus on treatment, including not only changes in diet and lifestyle habits, but also appropriate Chinese herbal aid. After a few months, Aunt Li's condition improved significantly, her complexion returned to ruddy, and her mental state also improved greatly. This change not only made her regain her self-confidence, but also paid more attention to her physical health.
This story tells us that the lack of qi and blood not only affects a woman's external beauty, but more importantly, it affects her overall health. Therefore, it is necessary for us to have an in-depth understanding of the lack of qi and blood, and how to regulate it effectively.
Explanation of the concept of insufficient qi and blood: qi and blood, the foundation of women's health
The concept of "qi and blood" is derived from traditional medicine and refers to the vital energy and blood circulating in the human body. Traditionally, qi is the driving force behind blood circulation, and blood is an important substance that nourishes all parts of the body. The two are interdependent and work together to maintain good health. When there is enough qi and blood, the person's complexion is ruddy, the mental state is good, and the body's various systems function smoothly, on the contrary, the lack of qi and blood will lead to a variety of problems such as paleness, tiredness, dry hair, and decreased sleep quality.
For women, qi and blood are especially important. It is not only related to the beauty of appearance, but also the basis for maintaining the normal physiological cycle and the stability of various body functions. With the growth of age and the fast pace of modern life, many middle-aged and elderly women often neglect the regulation of qi and blood, resulting in various health problems. Therefore, a correct understanding of the concept of qi and blood, identifying the signals of qi and blood deficiency, and taking effective measures to regulate it are essential to maintain women's health and beauty.
