Blood deficiency is a concept in traditional Chinese medicine,belonging to a type of blood syndrome.All diseases caused by deficiency of yin blood can be called blood deficiency,mainly manifested as sallow complexion and lack of luster,pale lips and nails, weak and thin pulse,and in severe cases, dizziness, fatigue, vertigo,palpitations, insomnia, and other symptoms.Anemia is a concept in Western medicine.The concept of blood deficiency is broader,and based on the manifestations of anemia,it can be classified as a type of blood deficiency. There are also some clinical conditions related to blood deficiency, such as insomnia, excessive dreaming, restlessness, and forgetfulness.
Traditional Chinese medicine says "blood houses the soul," when there is blood deficiency, the soul cannot return to reside in the liver, which also manifests as various mental issues. Many middle-aged and elderly women are often troubled by insomnia, restlessness, and forgetfulness, which is actually due to blood deficiency and yin depletion, causing the soul to be unsettled.
Blood deficiency is mainly related to excessive blood loss, irregular diet, and chronic depletion.
Excessive blood loss:
Primarily seen in women. If the menstrual flow is heavy and the period is prolonged, it can cause chronic blood loss, which over time leads to blood deficiency.
Improper diet:
Overeating and drinking, no avoidance of raw and cold foods, unclean diet easily harms the spleen and stomach. The spleen and stomach are the foundation of acquired constitution and the source of transformation and generation. If the transportation and transformation function of the spleen and stomach is impaired, the production of qi and blood will have no source, leading to blood deficiency.
Chronic loss:
Staying up late, excessive fatigue, and other factors can all cause depletion of yin blood.
For the condition of blood deficiency, blindly tonifying the blood is not advisable. The correct approach is to nourish the spleen and stomach, maintain regular routines, and balance work and rest. Some people experience "deficiency that does not accept supplementation," meaning their bodies are quite weak and even with good nourishing medicines, absorption is poor, which can instead burden the spleen and stomach and have adverse effects. Therefore, besides accurate syndrome differentiation and treatment, it is necessary to first regulate the spleen and stomach.

If the symptoms of blood deficiency are quite severe, it is difficult to improve quickly by just recuperation. At this time, it is recommended to consult our Chinese medicine doctor for pulse diagnosis and prescription adjustment (Chinese herbal powder does not need to be decocted, just brewed with hot water), so that the medication can be more accurately targeted.
