Qi and blood are the basis for maintaining the healthy development of people's body and mind, and also the foundation for human survival. However, if a person lacks qi and blood, it will make him look pale and weak, which is several years older than his actual age. In addition, his body often has bad symptoms such as fatigue and dizziness. Therefore, the key to health care is qi and blood. Then, how should the deficiency of qi and blood be conditioned? Today, I will help you to solve your doubts and understand the coup of regulating qi and blood deficiency from the perspective of Chinese medicine!

First, what are the methods of TCM regulating deficiency of qi and blood?

1, body massage

When it comes to TCM health, people are most familiar with acupoint massage. Among them, the qi and blood of the human body run through the whole body, so that all tissues and organs in the body can operate normally. Only when the qi and blood in the human body are sufficient, the organs and meridians in the body can be nourished with sufficient blood to maintain their functions, which is also an important form to avoid diseases.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, regular massage on some parts of the body can play a very good role in regulating qi and blood. Among them, the thymus of the chest is an important organ of the human immune system. Regular massage of the thymus can promote blood circulation near the chest and is conducive to the generation of qi and blood.

At the same time, massaging the spine can also play the same role. The spine is an important area for nourishing the viscera and organs of the whole body, and it is also an important part of the human Du meridian. Therefore, regular massage of the spine can promote the smooth flow of the human meridians, thus making the qi and blood run better, effectively nourishing the organs of the whole body, and playing a role in replenishing qi and blood and resisting diseases.

In addition, regular massage on important health care parts of the human body, such as the head, face and feet, can also dissipate blood stasis well, which is a good method to promote blood circulation.

2, Chinese medicine conditioning

It is also a trusted method for many people to recuperate diseases by drinking traditional Chinese medicine. For some people with insufficient qi and blood, choosing the right traditional Chinese medicine is also a key way to replenish qi and blood.

Among them, yam, Polygonum multiflorum Thunb and safflower are all pure natural Chinese herbal medicines. If we can take these medicines persistently, we can well regulate the symptoms of deficiency of qi and blood, thus alleviating the symptoms of deficiency of qi and blood in the body.

In addition, while enriching blood, you also need to eat some drugs to replenish qi, so as to get twice the result with half the effort. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, it is called: "supplementing blood first, invigorating qi first, and promoting blood circulation first, among which ginseng and astragalus are all good choices."

Q: Can the elderly with excessive phlegm be treated with traditional Chinese medicine?

Answer: "The spleen is the source of phlegm, and the lung is the storage of phlegm", and autumn is the best season for patients with phlegm-dampness constitution to nurse their spleen and lungs. Especially for the elderly, the spleen and stomach function itself is weak, and it is easy to produce phlegm if you don't pay attention to your diet. In addition, at the turn of summer and autumn, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the elderly have insufficient lung qi and low immunity, and are more likely to produce phlegm due to colds. Liu Zhengtang, deputy director of the Geriatrics Research Center of Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that phlegm should regulate the lungs and eat more foods such as tremella, lily, pear, lotus root and water chestnut. You can also try traditional Chinese medicine hot fumigation therapy. Hot fumigation therapy refers to opening your mouth and smoking at a proper distance against a hot water cup. Soak a proper amount of Chinese herbal medicine in hot water, and the water temperature should be below 50 degrees Celsius. Every time15-20 minutes, three times a day, it can clear away lung heat and resolve phlegm.

The drugs soaked in hot water can be selected as follows: Platycodon grandiflorum, which is suitable for relieving lung qi and eliminating phlegm, is suitable for those with exogenous cold, sore throat and excessive phlegm, and generally uses 3-9 grams; Aster, which can relieve cough, eliminate phlegm, stop asthma and relieve fever, is suitable for people with cough and asthma due to wind-cold and excessive phlegm, generally using 3-9 grams; Boat-fruited Sterculia can clear lung qi and relieve sore throat, and is generally used for hoarseness, sore throat and cough with excessive phlegm. Bamboo shavings, which can clear away heat and resolve phlegm, are used for people with excessive phlegm and cough and yellow and sticky phlegm, and generally use 6-10g; Trichosanthes kirilowii, clearing away heat and resolving phlegm, benefiting qi, is used for patients with cough due to excessive phlegm, spontaneous fever and constipation, and generally uses10-20g; Tussilago farfara, which can moisten lung and lower qi, relieve cough and eliminate phlegm, is suitable for patients with wheezing and blood in phlegm, generally 3-9 grams.

The traditional Chinese medicine for invigorating qi and blood is good, but the medicine is toxic in three ways. Therefore, when the body is in an ischemic state for a long time or the qi and blood are too insufficient, it is necessary to seek medical examination in time and take corresponding treatment methods. In addition, don't blindly drink traditional Chinese medicine when you don't fully understand the condition.

3. Exercise nourishes

Exercise can not only strengthen the body, but also be an excellent way to regulate qi and blood. And exercise health care has always been a health care item advocated by Chinese medicine, which can promote the full operation of qi and blood during exercise.

In the process of exercise, it can promote the whole body's blood circulation and metabolism, so that the whole body functions such as heart function and respiratory function can be enhanced to some extent, so that the whole body's qi and blood can be accelerated and enhanced with the operation of internal organs of viscera. Therefore, exercise is an excellent method to promote the operation of qi and blood.

However, with the growth of age, people's exercise needs to be gradually reduced, especially for middle-aged and elderly people, it is not suitable for strenuous sports, but also to choose some light sports to better achieve the role of qi and blood circulation.

Second, what food to eat to nourish qi and blood

1, longan

Longan is extremely rich in nutrition, and it is a good product for nourishing the body and supplementing qi and blood. Among them, longan is rich in nutrients such as glucose, sucrose, protein, iron, etc. These substances are all important components needed for human growth, which can not only supplement energy and nutrition for human body, but also promote the regeneration of hemoglobin cells in blood, which is an excellent blood tonic.

2. Roses

Roses have the functions of soothing the liver, regulating qi, nourishing blood and calming the nerves, so you can easily replenish qi and blood by soaking roses in water in daily life, so you might as well have a cup of rose tea in pleasant tea time!

3. Black dates

Black dates are rich in iron, and about100g of black dates contain 400 mg of iron, which is easily absorbed by the human body, so eating black dates often is an excellent tonic for enriching blood and keeping healthy.

In addition, black dates are also rich in vitamin C, which can promote the absorption of iron by the human body, so that iron can be absorbed and utilized more fully by the human body, so eating more black dates is a good choice for enriching blood.
