A woman in her late teens, Wang has had a dry, sticky mouth for more than 2 years and needs to drink water to moisten her throat every few minutes. The reason for the frequent thirst is because of the internal stagnation of blood in the body, which is not on the body, and after conditioning to improve the stagnation of blood, the mouth is not dry, and the food is delicious! Thirst is a signal from the central nervous system to replenish water when the body’s water balance is out of balance and the cells are dehydrated to a certain level. People often judge whether they are dehydrated to thirst as the standard, in fact, this is not reasonable. Wait until you are thirsty and then drink water, at this time the body is already in a relatively dehydrated state, should be regular and quantitative replenishment of water, in order not to appear thirsty situation. Generally speaking, adults need about 2200 ml of water every day, 1000 ml of water can be obtained from food, and the other 1200 ml should be supplemented from drinking water to meet the physiological needs of the body. And what if you still feel thirsty after drinking water? It is likely that the thirst is caused by stagnant blood problem. Only by improving the stagnant blood constitution can the root cause of thirst caused by stagnant blood be solved. The causes of thirst are very different. One of them is thirst caused by lack of water in the body. When the weather is hot, doing physical work and sweating a lot, people will feel thirsty because the body sweat evaporates and the concentration of body fluid rises. In this condition, the human body will often appear dry mouth symptoms, timely hydration can relieve thirst symptoms. Second, the heavy taste thus causing thirst symptoms. Large fish and meat will make your body thirsty due to excessive salt and sauce intake. It is recommended that you remember to replenish water in time when you eat a large meal usually, and if you can eat a salt-free diet every day, it is also a good way to relieve thirst. Thirdly, there is no water shortage in the body, but the thirst is caused by the stagnation of blood stasis that prevents the normal transport of water to the body where it is needed, and the fluid cannot be carried up to the mouth. According to Chinese medicine, the transport of water in the human body is mainly dependent on the steam and control of kidney qi, the transportation of spleen qi, the propagation and lowering of lung qi, the draining of liver qi, and the coordination of the physiological functions of the internal organs, such as the Tongli of the three jiao, to complete. “Qi is the marshal of blood; if Qi moves, blood moves; if Qi stops, blood stagnates; if Qi stagnates, blood stagnates”. People with stagnant blood have blocked Qi from the internal organs, resulting in the failure to transport fluid properly. What is Blood Stasis? The main symptom of blood stasis is the slow and uncontrolled flow of blood, which is usually caused by prolonged emotional depression, living in cold areas, and dysfunction of the internal organs. Some people with this type of condition have already developed age spots at a young age, and often suffer from pain in certain parts of the body, such as menstrual cramps in women and bruises in men, and the pain is often aggravated at night due to low activity. As the elderly age, their Qi and blood flow slows down and they are more likely to develop blood stasis. Blood stasis can occur throughout the year, and is especially likely to occur or worsen in the cold autumn, winter or winter-spring months. To improve blood stasis, it is necessary to grasp the words “warm” and “open” in daily life. How to remove blood stasis? Angelica Sinensis: strong blood tonic and blood activating effect The fundamental method of health care for people with blood stasis is to activate blood and remove stasis. It is best to pay attention to the adjustment of their own qi and blood, eat foods or healthy foods that invigorate blood, eat less spicy, too sweet, too stimulating food and drinks, coffee, strong tea, eat more vegetables and fruits, diet as light as possible. Angelica can both invigorate the blood and remove blood stasis, and also has a strong blood tonic effect. In terms of blood tonic, angelica is especially suitable for people with blood deficiency and blood deficiency. There are many manifestations of blood deficiency, such as pale or shriveled face, dizziness, and easy fatigue.

In the formula, Astragalus greatly replenishes the qi of the spleen and lung in order to fund the source of qi and blood; Angelica nourishes the blood and the camp in order to enrich the blood-forming substances, so that the yang produces the yin and the yin grows, and the qi and blood are born. Modern pharmacological research shows that Angelica tonic blood soup also has anti-injury, enhance immune function, anti-anemia and other effects. In addition, angelica can be used to make medicinal meals, such as congee, soup, and egg stew. However, the efficacy of angelica varies with different parts. Angelica is mainly divided into three parts: head, body and tail. The head of Angelica is the part next to the stem, the body is the middle part of Angelica, which is equivalent to the human waist, and the lower beard is the tail of Angelica. The head of angelica stops bleeding, the body of angelica nourishes the blood, and can be used when the face looks bad when the blood is deficient; the tail of angelica moves the blood and invigorates the blood; the whole angelica and the blood, meaning it can both nourish and invigorate the blood.
