The reason why women's palms turn yellow

For women, if the palms turn yellow, you should pay attention to it. This situation is often caused by insufficient Qi and blood. We know that women go through menstruation every month, which will cause a certain amount of blood loss. It is not only easy to cause pale complexion, but also may cause yellow fingers. You must pay more attention to nutrition and eat more foods that replenish qi and blood to avoid a deterioration in physical condition due to such problems.

Are women with yellow hands more likely to suffer from PMS?

Traditional Chinese medicine generally believes that people with yellow hands have poor spleen. The spleen is located almost in the center of the abdomen. People with poor spleen function usually have insufficient gastric motility and poor ability to absorb nutrients in food, leading to malnutrition.

This condition is called "blood deficiency" in traditional Chinese medicine. For women, there is a period when they are particularly prone to blood deficiency, and that is before and during menstruation. Before and during menstruation, due to changes in women's hormonal balance and other reasons, anemia, that is, loss of blood and qi, is likely to occur.

Women with yellowish hands are prone to chronic blood deficiency, and are more likely to experience symptoms of blood deficiency before and during menstruation than other people.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, "Only when Qi and blood flow smoothly can the mind be peaceful." Therefore, blood deficiency is the culprit for the irritability and pessimism during PMS. Furthermore, in order to replenish nutrition and energy, women will want to eat a lot of high-calorie junk food as their "energy source". If the symptoms worsen further, it may lead to bulimia. Girls with this symptom should pay more attention to it.

Other symptoms of blood deficiency that bother women

(1) Dysmenorrhea

Traditional Chinese medicine has two explanations for the cause of dysmenorrhea: "pain due to lack of nourishment" and "pain due to obstruction of circulation". The former refers to insufficient Qi, blood and nutrition, while the latter refers to the blockage of Qi and blood in the body causing pain. Insufficient Qi and blood is also one of the causes of dysmenorrhea.

(2) Headache

The headache symptoms near the menstrual period are also caused by blood deficiency, which is the same reason as the dysmenorrhea mentioned above.

(3) Cold symptoms

The extremities such as hands and feet tend to feel cold.
