Blood deficiency and qi deficiency are not the same as anemia, so don't be busy making up for it first

Traditional Chinese medicine points out that patients with low blood pressure or anemia are prone to dizziness, dizziness, tiredness and other phenomena, and even migraine symptoms such as drinking and syncope headache due to insufficient blood pressure and poor circulation in the body.According to the principle of syndrome differentiation in traditional Chinese medicine, it is usually a disease of blood deficiency, and it should be recuperated by a prescription for blood replenishment in clinical practice, but blood deficiency is not anemia referred to in modern medicine, and not all hypotensive constitutions are blood deficiency diseases, and it is still necessary to distinguish the symptoms and manifestations of blood deficiency clinically.

In addition to dizziness and dizziness, patients with blood deficiency can also observe that their nails, lips, and tongue are pale in color and their faces are yellowish;Qi deficiencyThose are pale, tired, short of breath, lazy to speak, have a low voice, and sweat easily. Traditional medicine believes that blood belongs to yin and qi belongs to yang.Yin deficiencyDifferent from the symptoms of blood deficiency, and in clinical differentiation, it is also necessary to distinguish the yin and yang of the five organs, and the hemoglobin and blood pressure values detected by modern medicine are too low, which may not be blood deficiency syndrome.

Generally speaking, the basic prescription for blood and qi replenishment can usually be Siwu Tang and Sijunzi Tang respectively, but in addition to distinguishing the status of qi and blood, it is also necessary to evaluate whether to add ginseng, astragalus, white qi and other qi-tonifying drugs according to the patient's physical constitution; Or add woody incense, incense, tangerine peel and other qi-promoting herbs to help the smooth operation of the qi. As for those with blood deficiency, it is also necessary to distinguish whether the patient has blood fever or blood stasis, and the treatment principle of cold blood should be taken, or warm blood drugs such as peach kernel, safflower, danpi, red peony and so on, not simply to distinguish the condition of qi and blood.

TCM physicians emphasise that the detection of blood pressure and hemoglobin in modern medicine is different from the principles of traditional medical diagnosis, and although many women with anemia or hypotension have blood deficiency syndrome after syndrome differentiation, there are also many hypotensive patients who do not experience any discomfort.People with low blood pressure or anemia do not need to panic too much, or even take supplements aggressively; If you feel unwell and wish to use Chinese medicine for treatment, you should also seek the advice of a Chinese medicine practitioner before prescribing the right medicine, so as to avoid improper supplementation, which will not help improve the symptoms and cause side effects.
