Does A Woman Look Haggard Due To Lack Of Qi And Blood? Collect These Judgment Methods And Health Tea Recipes Quickly
The daily “culprit” of insufficient Qi and blood
During the years of health care, I have a very profound understanding, that is, for many women, their deficiency of qi and blood is not a cold condition that develops overnight, but is caused by many seemingly inconspicuous daily habits that accumulate day after day over a long period of time. Late at night, they are reluctant to go to bed and keep scrolling with their mobile phones until the early morning in order to pursue the effect of rapid weight loss. They adopted very extreme dieting methods; they did not pay enough attention and make reasonable adjustments when their bodies were weakest after childbirth; their menstrual flow was already heavy, but they did not know how to maintain it; they were in a state of high pressure for a long time, and it was difficult to relax emotionally. These ordinary lifestyles are like boiling a frog in warm water, quietly draining your blood bit by bit.
"Qi and blood alarm" issued by the body
Women’s qi and blood are not sufficient, and the body is actually giving us various hints all the time. When many women come for consultation, I will first look at their nails. If the nails are thin and soft and break off at the slightest touch, or the crescent moon is extremely small or almost missing, this is usually a typical sign of insufficient Qi and blood. Moving on, cold hands and feet are another common phenomenon, especially in winter. The coldness that comes from the roots of the bones, but no organic disease can be found after a physical examination. The root cause often lies in the aspect of "deficiency". Some friends are particularly prone to fatigue when they are in the pre- and post-menstrual stages, and may even catch a cold if they don't pay attention. This is also a manifestation of Qi and blood deficiency and insufficient righteousness. I always feel a sense of fatigue. No matter what I do, I find it difficult to lift my spirits. When I stand up suddenly, my eyes will turn black and I will feel dizzy. These are all the results of the inability of Qi and blood to fully nourish the body.
To regulate Qi and blood, first find the source
In response to the situation of insufficient Qi and blood, many people's first reaction is to "replenish". However, blindly replenishing will usually achieve half the result with half the effort. In traditional health care concepts, the core point of conditioning is "treating the symptoms." You need to first understand how your energy and blood are depleted.
Is it because you stay up late for a long time? Traditional Chinese medicine holds the view that 11pm to 3am is a critical time for the body to generate qi and blood. If you still don't fall asleep during this time, it will directly interfere with the body's self-repair and hematopoiesis process.
Do you want to lose weight but choose to go on a diet excessively and no longer consume even the most basic meat? The body lacks the raw materials for generating qi and blood, that is, "subtle substances." How can it have sufficient qi and blood? I have seen too many examples where improper weight loss methods lead to sallow complexion and thin skin, as well as getting sick easily😟.
Is it because I didn’t take care of myself after giving birth? Postpartum is a critical stage for a woman's body to rebuild. If the conditioning method is incorrect, not only will the recovery speed be slower, but it will also be easier to leave behind the root cause of Qi and blood deficiency. This impact can be said to be far-reaching.
Is there such a situation as excessive thinking and great pressure for a long time? Thinking will cause damage to the spleen. The spleen is the foundation of day after tomorrow. It is the source of qi and blood biochemistry. If the mood is depressed, the function of the spleen will be damaged, and the generation of qi and blood will naturally be hindered. In addition, there is daily consumption, but there is no timely replenishment. As time goes by, the level of qi and blood will decline significantly.
Mild and effective scented tea conditioning method
Only by knowing the root cause can you choose the correct treatment method. When many people talk about "conditioning", they will think of expensive supplements. However, for people with insufficient Qi and blood, the functions of the spleen and stomach are mostly relatively weak. Sudden intake of greasy food will prevent the spleen and stomach from transporting and transforming it, and will instead cause bloating, constipation, and further fatigue.
At this moment, scented tea conditioning shows its advantages. Its nature is mild. You can choose the corresponding flowers and plants to match according to your own constitution, and slowly nourish it by drinking it for a long time. Due to its mild nature, there are basically no taboos and most people can accept it. However, there is a core principle here: it must be matched according to the symptoms, and you cannot drink it randomly. Qi and blood deficiency also exists. Some of the causes are weakness of the spleen and stomach, some are heavy menstruation, and some are loss caused by staying up late. The treatments for these different causes are completely different.
Five scented tea solutions that match the symptoms
The first one is a basic prescription for most women with insufficient qi and blood, which is astragalus and red date tea. Take 5 to 8 slices of raw astragalus and 3 to 4 red dates that have been pitted. The reason for removing the pits is to avoid excessive heat, and then brew them with boiling water, or boil the water and drink it as a daily drink. Astragalus has the effect of replenishing qi and strengthening the surface, while red dates can nourish the blood and calm the nerves. The combination of the two is relatively mild and suitable for those who have good spleen and stomach functions. If you continue to drink it for a month, you will feel an improvement in your energy and the color of your face will become brighter. It should be noted that you should not drink astragalus during a cold.
The second one recommended for women is the one with gray-white complexion and dry skin: it’s called Longan Rose Tea. Take 3 to 5 dried longan pulp and 5 to 6 rose buds, brew them together with hot water, and drink. Longan meat has the effect of nourishing blood and calming the nerves, while roses can promote qi, relieve depression, activate blood circulation and nourish the skin. It is especially suitable for people whose skin color becomes dull due to blood deficiency. If you continue to drink it for three months, your skin texture will improve significantly. For those who are in menstruation and have heavy menstrual flow, it is recommended to start drinking it from the day after menstruation ends, and just drink it non-stop for a week.
The third product specially designed for those who stay up late for a long time is: American Ginseng and Ophiopogon japonicus tea. Take 3 to 5 American ginseng slices and 5 to 8 Ophiopogon japonicus slices, and brew them with boiling water. American ginseng has the effect of nourishing qi and yin, clearing fire and promoting fluid production. Ophiopogon japonicus has the effect of nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, which is particularly helpful for the depletion of yin fluid caused by staying up late. It allows you to replenish energy without getting angry. People with weak spleen and stomach and those with soft stools are not suitable for regular consumption.
There is a fundamental remedy for this condition called weak spleen and stomach, which is the yam and poria tea in the fourth item. Take 3 to 4 pieces of dried yam and 5 to 6 pieces of Poria. You can also add a small piece of tangerine peel and boil water together. Boil it for 20 minutes and drink it as tea. Yam has the effect of strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, Poria cocos can diuretic and dampness, and tangerine peel can regulate qi and balance the body. The key point of this combination is to regulate the spleen and stomach. Only when the function of the spleen and stomach becomes stronger can food be converted into qi and blood in an efficient way. Many people try to replenish qi and blood but have no effect. The root cause lies in this, because this crucial step is missing.
The fifth item is prepared for women who suffer from yang deficiency and are afraid of the cold: that is the ginger, brown sugar and black tea combination. For this, you need to prepare three to four slices of ginger, an appropriate amount of brown sugar, and a pinch of black tea, and brew them with boiling water or boil them. Ginger has the effect of warming the body and dispelling cold evil, brown sugar can nourish the blood and promote blood circulation, and black tea can make the stomach feel warm. If you continue to drink it throughout the winter, you will find that the coldness of your hands and feet is greatly improved. This formula is relatively warm. For those who are prone to getting angry, it is important to drink in moderation.
Tips for Maximizing the Effects of Scented Tea
If you choose the right tea, you also need to know how to drink it. First of all, the brewing method is particular. Unlike tea with delicate petals such as roses, it is best to use warm water of about 80 degrees to brew. This can prevent the boiling water from scalding the petals and thereby avoiding the loss of active ingredients. Secondly, you have to give enough time. If you use a cup to brew, you have to wait at least 15 minutes to allow the effective substances to be fully dissolved and released, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced.
The key is to persevere. Scented tea is not a medicine for treating diseases, and you cannot expect to see significant results immediately. However, it does not only play a psychological soothing role. Generally speaking, it takes one month to see initial improvement, and three months to see significant changes. Many people only drink it for a week or two and then give up without noticing any feeling. Naturally, they have no chance to see the effects. At the same time, you also need to pay attention to the right amount, especially the warm formula. Drinking too much can easily cause internal heat. Just stop when you feel changes in your body.
Cultivate both inside and outside and return to the essence of life
You must remember at all times that tea is only a auxiliary, and it is your living habits that really play a decisive role. If you stay up late into the early morning while sipping your tea, no matter how much you drink, it won't help. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes that 11pm to 3am is a critical period for the production of Qi and blood. You must enter deep sleep at this time to give your body an opportunity to repair.
In terms of food, you must ensure that you have enough high-quality protein and iron, both of which are the basic raw materials for forming blood. When it comes to emotions, you must know how to relieve stress, because thoughts and depression will directly cause damage to the spleen and stomach, the qi and blood production factory. Sometimes, keeping your mood in a comfortable state is more effective than taking any supplements.
Insufficient Qi and blood is not a small problem. It is related to your health, the condition of your skin, your mental outlook, and even your confidence in pursuing a high-quality life. But it is by no means the kind of disease that cannot be cured at all. It can be improved by following the correct and milder conditioning methods. Starting today, choose a scented tea that suits you and continue to drink it. At the same time, adjust your work and rest, eat seriously, and relax your mood. After one month, after two months, after three months, you will find that you have quietly changed. A person who is full of energy and blood, speaks with confidence, walks with energy, and has a radiant face. Such a state is worth your hard work and effort to obtain.
