Women often have cold hands and feet in autumn and winter. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cold hands and feet are closely related to physical weakness, which is common in cold constitution and qi deficiency and blood deficiency constitution. Both yam black chicken soup and longan yam soup have good effects of tonifying the middle energizer, benefiting qi and nourishing blood. Regular consumption is of great benefit to improving unhealthy physique, especially for people with cold hands and feet.

Chinese yam black-bone chicken soup: Chinese yam 30g, black-bone chicken 100 ~ 200g, onion, ginger, salt and other seasonings. Cut the black-bone chicken into pieces, cut the onion into sections, slice the ginger, put it in a casserole with yam, boil it over high fire, stew it over low fire, add salt and other seasonings, eat meat and drink soup. If the symptoms of cold hands and feet are serious, 6 grams of Cordyceps sinensis can be added.

Yam is a tonic for invigorating qi, unlike ginseng, which is easy to get angry when eaten too much. This will not get angry, so this recipe is suitable for many people.

Also, when it comes to tonifying qi and blood, many people's first reaction is to eat blood-nourishing things, such as red dates, angelica, red beans and donkey-hide gelatin. These are traditional blood-enriching foods. Some people eat a cream in winter, but the effect of tonic is not good. Are these things broken? In fact, enriching blood is not so complicated, but we should understand the three most important issues of hematopoiesis. One is the production line, the other is the raw materials, and the third is the time (that is, choose the right time for health preservation, as described in the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic for twelve hours of health preservation.

These three problems have been solved. If you don't eat blood-enriching things, qi and blood will still be born continuously.

However, nourishing qi and blood, relying solely on food supplements, may not be useful. If you are in a bad mood, it is useless to eat well! If the mood is not smooth, the five internal organs have no owner. In this respect, a book that I personally especially admire is the view that health preservation is nourishing qi and blood, which has been selling very well recently. Wang Tong, the author, talks about keeping the spirit together, so all diseases can be cured. I suggest you have a look. This view has been appreciated and recognized by many Chinese medicine practitioners, because Chinese medicine treatment has never been a headache, but a comprehensive treatment of people as a whole.
