Let's talk about it first What is qi and blood?
Qi and blood are the basis of traditional Chinese medicine and the material basis and energy source for the activities of human organs such as viscera and meridians.
Qi is a moving and invisible subtle substance, which mainly has the function of promoting and warming, and belongs to Yang. Blood will have blood.
Deficiency of qi is called qi deficiency, and when you enter the first floor, you will be afraid of cold, which is yang deficiency, commonly known as cold bottom. Blood deficiency will further lead to yin deficiency and heat excess, commonly known as deficiency fire.
A simple understanding of qi deficiency and blood deficiency can be a collection of syndromes. For example, qi deficiency refers to mental fatigue, lazy speech due to qi deficiency, low voice, spontaneous sweating and fear of wind (various symptoms are added during exercise), pale tongue with white fur and weak pulse.
Symptoms of blood deficiency include dull or sallow complexion, pale fingernails, dizziness, palpitation, pale tongue with slightly dry coating, thin and white coating and weak pulse.

Furthermore, are these deficiency, cold and qi deficiency diseases?
In the view of western medicine, it may not be regarded as a disease, but Chinese medicine believes that the organs and tissues of the human body, as well as the human body and the external environment, are both antagonistic and unified, and they constantly produce contradictions and solve them, maintaining the normal physiological activities of the human body.
When the balance state is destroyed, but it cannot be restored immediately, diseases will occur. Therefore, the above Chinese medicine believes that it is a disease, and the principle of treatment is only to make the adjustment of imbalance return to balance. In other words, "deficiency makes up for it" and "cold makes it hot". Qi deficiency will replenish qi, and blood deficiency will replenish blood.
However, what will destroy the relative balance of the human body and cause diseases? Exploring its causes is called etiology.
Traditional Chinese medicine refers to physical weakness as physical weakness, chronic weakness as deficiency syndrome, and divides weakness into four types: qi deficiency, blood deficiency, yin deficiency and yang deficiency.
Combined with the five internal organs of heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney, all organs have the types of qi, blood, yin and yang deficiency, such as lung qi deficiency, spleen yang deficiency and spleen yang deficiency. Traditional Chinese medicine theory emphasizes balance. As long as the human body is in balance of qi, blood and yin and yang, it is healthy. Deficiency is weakness, which needs to be nourished, and excess is the pathogenic factor, which should be eliminated to achieve a new balance and restore health.
Physical weakness is the decline of some functions of the body, not necessarily illness, which is called "sub-health" by western medicine. If it is not supplemented, adjusted and conditioned in time, it will be harmful to the body.
To treat weakness, according to Chinese medicine, "deficiency is tonic, but it is diarrhea, heat is cold, and cold is heat." Principle, need to adjust the actual situation through tonic.
Tonifying includes four aspects: invigorating qi, enriching blood, nourishing yin and strengthening yang. Tonics should be treated according to each person's physique and disease syndrome. Tonics include medicine and food.
Whether using drugs or food supplements, it is all for tonifying deficiency and strengthening the body resistance. Food tonic is sometimes more important than medicine tonic, because it can not only tonify deficiency and eliminate evil, but also strengthen the body resistance, thus achieving the requirements of tonifying deficiency and strengthening the body resistance, achieving a new balance of qi, blood, yin and yang and restoring health. Therefore, there is a saying that "medicine tonic is not as good as food tonic".
Supplement is to supplement deficiency and strengthen the body resistance. If it is not empty, excessive or improper tonic will cause adverse reactions.
For example, people who are physically strong will have symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, fullness, constipation, dizziness, sore throat, bleeding gums and so on.
For example, people who are afraid of cold due to yang deficiency and loose stools will be more afraid of cold, diarrhea and abdominal pain. After taking nourishing yin drugs such as Radix Rehmanniae and Radix Ophiopogonis. These are all due to improper tonic, which damages the stomach qi and violates the principle of TCM syndrome differentiation and tonic.
