What are the symptoms of insufficient qi and blood?

If a woman wants to have a good complexion, she must first ensure that she has sufficient qi and blood. If she lacks qi and blood, not only will she look lifeless, but over time it may also easily lead to uterine cold. Therefore, in order to allow women to understand their bodies in more detail, this article will analyze the symptoms of insufficient Qi and blood so that more female friends can recognize this common problem.

If a woman lacks qi and blood, she will look pale and listless, which will definitely affect her appearance. So how do we judge whether we are lacking in qi and blood? Let me teach you how to check from four aspects.

1. Hair

Hair is closely related to the liver and kidneys. If the liver has sufficient blood, the hair will have adequate blood supply. The essence of the kidneys is the foundation of the human body. The growth of hair and the maintenance of health are closely related to the kidneys. If gray hair is a sign of liver blood and kidney qi decline, but some teenagers develop gray hair in a short period of time, accompanied by a bad temper and easy anger, it is mostly due to liver depression and blood heat. If it is also accompanied by lack of sleep, weakness in the waist and knees, and tinnitus, it is due to insufficient kidney qi. If you lose a lot of hair and your hair becomes thinner and thinner, it may be a problem with your Qi and blood. If the hair is greasy, it means that the spleen and lung are not in harmony, the spleen's qi is excessive and the lung's qi is too weak. Because the growth rate of hair is related to liver blood, if the liver blood is insufficient, the hair will grow slowly and become dry easily.

2. Skin

The skin is mainly examined for its luster, elasticity and the presence of wrinkles. In fact, the skin and lungs are closely related. If the skin is white with pink, shiny, elastic, without wrinkles and spots, it means that the lungs have sufficient qi and blood. If your skin is rough, dull, dark, white, blue, red, yellow, or has spots, it means that your physical condition is poor and your Qi and blood are insufficient. In addition, complexion is related to qi and blood. A pale complexion indicates insufficient kidney qi, while a sallow complexion indicates insufficient liver qi.

3. Sleep

Women with sufficient Qi and blood can fall asleep very quickly, sleep very soundly, breathe evenly, and wake up naturally. If you have difficulty falling asleep, always wake up at night, always have to urinate, your breathing becomes heavy or you snore, it means that you are deficient in Qi and blood. Moreover, liking to sleep is also a sign of qi and blood deficiency.

4. Eyes

Mainly look at the color and clarity of the eyes. Clear, bright and energetic eyes indicate sufficient Qi and blood. However, if the whites of the eyes are cloudy and yellowish, this indicates that the liver is lacking Qi and blood. The whites of the eyes are closely related to the lungs and large intestine. If there are bloodshot in the whites of the eyes, it usually means that there is heat in the lungs and large intestine. Dry eyes and heavy eyelids also mean insufficient Qi and blood. Large eye bags indicate spleen deficiency. Dull, dark and lifeless eyes indicate Qi and blood depletion.

After understanding the symptoms of insufficient qi and blood, we need to remind all friends that in fact, insufficient qi and blood does not necessarily require the use of Chinese medicine to regulate, and you can replenish qi and blood through your daily diet. For example, add wolfberry and red dates when drinking water, and add some angelica when making soup. These are all good ways to replenish qi and blood.
