A woman with a ruddy face and a positive spirit, with a smile that is charming and eye-catching; On the contrary, a woman with a yellow face, tired and tired, looks unenergetic and old.
In fact, most of these physical differences in women are related to the lack of qi and blood! Although men can also experience a lack of qi and blood, it is more common in women than men.
So, why do women often suffer from a lack of qi and blood?
Congenital and acquired factors affect a woman's qi and blood
There is such a sentence in "Women's Great Prescription": Human life is based on qi and blood; There is no one who does not first hurt his blood and qi when he is sick. It can be seen how important qi and blood are to people's health, and women's qi and blood are the basis for nourishing the skin and regulating the body.
The lack of qi and blood in women is mainly affected by the innate physiological structure and various acquired factors.
From the perspective of physiological structure, women will experience special periods such as menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, and lactation. In these special periods, if a woman does not adjust well in time, she will lose qi and blood, resulting in insufficient qi and blood, qi deficiency, etc.
From the perspective of acquired influence, women have a lack of qi and blood, mostly because of spleen deficiency or kidney deficiency. Most of these symptoms are caused by the fact that women love to do these things:
1. Love to sit for a long time: often sedentary, lack of exercise, qi and blood are easy to be unobstructed;
2. Irregular meals: taking snacks as a staple food will cause malnutrition, and not eating on time will hurt the spleen and stomach;
3. Poor sleep quality: often stay up late, sleep irregularly, and sleep dreamy at night, which will affect the regulation of qi and blood;
4. Excessive fatigue: due to work or other reasons, overwork, and not having a good rest.
Lack of qi and blood can be judged from 5 places
A woman's lack of qi and blood will be reflected on her face and body, affecting her appearance and appearance. Therefore, it is not difficult to judge a woman's qi and blood at all. You can look at yourself in the mirror to see if it matches the following situation.
As you age, hair loss can get worse and worse, and hair is in every corner of your home. Along with hair loss, there are also yellow hair split ends, and the overall appearance is frizzy. If your hair is still thick and jet black, it proves that you have enough qi and blood!
Generally, women with sufficient qi and blood have elastic and shiny skin, and they look beautiful. If you find that your skin is getting darker and yellower, with enlarged pores, spots, redness, etc., it is related to the lack of qi and blood.
When you don't have a good rest, your eyes will be bloodshot, dry and uncomfortable, which will affect the conditioning of qi and blood; The whites of the eyes are cloudy and yellow, indicating a lack of qi and blood. In addition, deep dark circles and large bags under the eyes not only look 10 years older, but also a sign of lack of qi and blood in the body.
Once you find that your hands and feet are cold, or your palms are hot and sweaty, especially in winter, it will be more obvious, which is one of the manifestations of lack of qi and blood. On the contrary, if the hands and feet are warm, there will be almost no chills or chills, and there will be sufficient qi and blood.
People with insufficient qi and blood will often have insomnia, or difficulty falling asleep, and have many nightmares, wake up in the middle of the night, accompanied by snoring, drooling, etc. You can tell it by observing your dark circles and mental state~
