Women have a good formula to nourish blood

  Blood is especially precious to women throughout their lives. As Chinese medicine says, “Women take blood as the basis and blood as the use” and “Women’s Yin is always insufficient”, which essentially reflects the basic understanding of traditional medicine that women are different from men in physiology and pathology. Women have the special physiological phenomena of menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding: menstruation is based on blood, pregnancy is based on blood to nourish the fetus, childbirth is based on qi and blood to turn into labor force and requires yin and blood to moisten the birth canal, and postpartum milk has the same source as blood, each of these physiological processes is based on blood and must consume blood, which shows the importance of blood to women. As the “Jing Yue Quanshu – women’s rule” said: “Women are important in the blood, blood can structure the essence, the fetus and pregnancy is formed. In order to investigate the disease, the only way to see the menstruation; in order to cure the disease, the only way to regulate the Yin part”, here the so-called “only in the Yin part of the regulation”, that is, in emphasizing the treatment of gynecological diseases need to take care of the Yin blood at all times. In the life of women, they should focus on preventive health care, pay attention to the regulation of qi and blood, and prevent diseases before they occur.  So, how should women pay attention to the regulation of Yin and Blood in daily life? Here, we propose the concept of “interception”.  What is “interception”?  As we know, women are already depleted of Yin and Blood due to the special physiological rules of menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding, and the living environment, lifestyle and rhythm of women in modern society are very different from those in the past. This state aggravates the depletion of Yin and Blood in women, and if it acts on the physiological processes of menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding, even diseases may appear. Therefore, the so-called “interception and retention”, that is, the “interception” and “retention” of Yin blood loss, modern women take the initiative to “intercept” in daily life “It is crucial for modern women to take the initiative to “cut off” all the habits and factors that cause the loss of Yin blood in their daily lives, so as to maintain the Yin blood in their bodies. “Nourishing” is important, but relatively extensive and passive. Imagine, the constant loss of Yin blood, nourishing blood before and after, when to rest? Therefore, blood is more suitable for menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, breast special physiological period or weakness, disease period; relatively speaking, “interception” is active, easy to do, women can recognize, change the bad habits that lead to the depletion of Yin and blood, consciously, and fundamentally maintain their own Qi and blood needless loss, just as the prevention of microscopic. Therefore, “nourishing blood” and “interception” are two aspects of women’s yin health care, both of which cannot be neglected and should be focused on depending on different physiological and age stages and their own conditions. When women are in a healthy state, the regulation of Yin and blood, just like the prevention of disease is more important than the treatment, “retention” should be more important than the nourishment of blood.  So how to “intercept and retain”? Women in the work, life needs to pay attention to several aspects: 1, avoid sweating a lot of Chinese medicine, sweat for the fluid, sweating too much is the consumption of fluid, fluid consumption is less blood, the ancient “blood and sweat with the source” said. If you sweat too much, you will lose a lot of fluid, not only is the fluid seeping into the veins insufficient, but even the Yin and blood within the veins will seep out of the veins, forming a pathology of empty blood vessels and dry blood and fluid. According to this theory, a lot of sweating will damage the yin blood, so women should avoid any situation in daily life, a lot of sweating, which includes long-term engagement in high-temperature work, lack of protection from the heat, concentration and large doses of aerobic exercise and so on.  2, do not advocate dieting to lose weight Chinese medicine believes that the human body depends on the body’s qi and blood to be constantly transformed to feed, long-term eating or even not eating, can lead to damage to the spleen and stomach, can not be transformed into water and grain essence, the lack of source of qi and blood is insufficient.  3, Yin and blood dark depletion Modern women work, life is too stressful, mostly overworked, long-term stay up late, high brain, excessive alcohol consumption, blind tonic life history. Excessive exertion is prone to depletion of qi and blood, and in the long run, qi deficiency and blood deficiency; too much strain on the heart, easy to make Yin and blood dark depletion, heart and blood deficiency. These bad habits will unknowingly cause the depletion of Yin and Blood and lead to the deficiency of Blood.  4, regulate the emotions Chinese medicine will be a person’s emotions change into joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, fright seven aspects, known as the “seven emotions”. Under normal circumstances, the seven emotions are the human body’s physiological response to the external environment and will not cause disease. However, intense and excessive emotional activities, beyond the limits of the body can withstand, and persistent failure to calm, will lead to disorder, Qi and blood disorders, internal organs restlessness, causing various diseases. Many women are emotionally impatient or even become a state of life, for a long time, then into the liver is not comfortable. The liver is not comfortable, one is depressed and fire, heat burning fluid, resulting in the depletion of yin and blood; the second is the liver wood grams spleen earth, liver depression to spleen deficiency, spleen deficiency transport and transformation is not conducive to the lack of sources of qi and blood.  Female friends to regulate the mood, the first thing to be open-minded, optimistic and open-minded. The “Nei Jing” said: “all diseases are born in the gas”, angry anger is detrimental to the liver, is an unhealthy emotions. Second, to maintain a calm state of mind, not to things like, not to their own sadness, clear mind, good health. Thirdly, avoid sentimentalism, excessive thinking, do not panic when things happen, there is no panic. Be good at relieving mental burdens, do not fall into the endless regret and self-condemnation of past events.  5, room labor, such as sexual intercourse, excessive lust and too much childbirth, will also increase the depletion of Yin and blood, when appropriate restraint. When female friends have appeared pale, pale white lips claw nail, dizziness, dizziness, numbness of the limbs, tendons and veins constricted, palpitations and palpitations, insomnia, dry skin, hair scorching, and dry stools, urine and other symptoms, indicating that the internal organs have lost in the blood moistening, is a different degree of blood deficiency symptoms; In addition, Chinese medicine believes that blood is the mother of gas, gas depends on blood to attach, blood carries gas to line. In addition to the above blood deficiency symptoms, there will also be less breath and lazy speech, low language, fatigue, shortness of breath and sweating and other symptoms of qi deficiency, which is called “blood does not carry qi” in Chinese medicine.  Women can check themselves from time to time, and when one of the above symptoms occurs, it may be the evidence of Yin and Blood deficiency. At this time, women should pay attention to the presence of the above-mentioned blood depletion, blood injury, should avoid the recurrence of the above-mentioned adverse conditions, and at the same time give medicine or diet to nourish.  Food therapy to nourish the blood is simple and easy to implement, and should be adhered to over a long period of time. The usual diet focuses on eating foods rich in high-quality protein, trace elements (iron, copper, etc.), folic acid and vitamin B12 and other nutrients, such as animal liver, kidney, blood, fish, shrimp, eggs, soybean products, black fungus, black sesame, red dates, peanuts and fresh vegetables, fruits and other foods; also can be 15 grams of ginseng, red dates 15 decoction, or 60 grams of maltose, red dates 20, add the right amount of water Boiled, drink as tea;; can also be consumed to Shou Wu 20 grams, 20 grams of Chinese wolfberry, 60 grams of round-grained rice, 15 red dates, brown sugar appropriate amount of porridge to eat, all have blood nourishing effect.
