How Women Can Supplement Qi and Blood
The biggest enemy for women is aging. There is a saying that nothing can resist the passage of time... However, there are women who look younger at the same age. Why is that? Let me tell you! It may be due to spleen deficiency! Spleen deficiency can accelerate aging in women. Isn't that scary? Are you suffering from spleen deficiency? How can you solve it? Let's read the following article to find out!
In traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen is considered the foundation of the body. The body relies on the spleen and stomach to receive and transform food, digest and absorb nutrients, and produce and regulate qi and blood. It also regulates the function of organs and influences the aging process.
A woman with a healthy spleen and stomach will have sufficient qi and blood. "Supplementing qi and nourishing the spleen and stomach, nurturing qi and preserving essence and blood" is the key to anti-aging and health preservation.
1. Check if you are aging:
Are you gaining or losing weight, have a dull complexion, sagging skin, enlarged eye bags, droopy eyelids, increased wrinkles, dark circles, pigmentation, blurred vision, scanty menstruation, hair loss, premature graying of hair, fatigue, weakness in the waist and knees, memory decline, decreased energy, collapsed nasal bridge, receding gums, emotional instability, decreased libido, insomnia, anxiety and restlessness...
2. Why do women have "spleen deficiency"?
Whether it is congenital weakness of the spleen and stomach or postnatal lack of nourishment, both can lead to spleen deficiency. Irregular diet, lack of sleep, excessive fatigue, excessive worry, multiple pregnancies, old age and frailty, long-term illness, and irregular daily routines... All these factors can cause spleen deficiency!
3. Why does "spleen deficiency" accelerate aging?
1. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen governs the muscles and their transformation. When the spleen is healthy and functioning properly, it can transform nutrients from food into sufficient qi and blood. This results in well-developed muscles, elasticity, strength in the tendons and bones, and a youthful appearance. On the other hand, spleen deficiency can lead to poor nutrient absorption, muscle atrophy, loss of luster, and the accumulation of dampness, resulting in loose and flabby skin and obesity. The "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" says, "When the spleen is diseased... the tendons, bones, and muscles lack qi for nourishment."
2. The main cause of aging is imbalanced qi and blood. Qi and blood are the fundamental driving forces of human life. The spleen and stomach are the source of qi and blood production and transformation. When the spleen is functioning well, qi and blood are abundant, nourishing the organs, limbs, and skin. In contrast, qi and blood deficiency leads to lack of nourishment in the skin, resulting in dryness and dullness. The "Four Essentials of Health Preservation" states, "Those who are good at health preservation must first nourish qi, and those who can nourish qi can live longer."
