How to Regulate Blood Heat and Blood Deficiency?
When there is blood heat and blood deficiency in the body, it indicates that there is an abnormality in physical health and timely conditioning is needed. Besides causing discomfort in the body, blood heat and blood deficiency can also affect daily life. If not adjusted promptly, they can also induce the body to suffer from other diseases, posing a hazard to physical health. Although blood heat and blood deficiency require timely conditioning, attention should be paid to the method of conditioning. Blind conditioning not only has no effect, but may also exacerbate the symptoms of blood heat and blood deficiency.
Diet conditioning: One should eat more nutritional foods rich in high-quality protein, trace elements (such as iron and copper), folic acid, and vitamin B12, such as jujube, lotus seeds, longan meat, walnuts, hawthorn, pig liver, pig blood, yellow eel, sea cucumber, black-boned chicken, eggs, spinach, carrots, black fungus, black sesame, shrimp, brown sugar, etc. These foods are rich in nutrients and have the effect of enriching the blood and promoting blood circulation.
Chinese medicine conditioning: Commonly used blood-enriching Chinese herbs include angelica, chuanxiong, safflower, prepared radix rehmanniae, peach kernel, codonopsis, astragalus, polygonum multiflorum, goji berry, Chinese yam, donkey-hide gelatin, danshen, rose, etc. These herbs can be used together with blood-enriching foods to make delicious medicinal dishes, which have good effects on regulating endocrine and nourishing the blood.
Exercise conditioning: Exercise is also an essential part of conditioning. One can practice yoga, taijiquan, health qigong, and other relaxing exercises. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine believes that "excessive eye strain can injure the blood." Therefore, professional women who spend long hours working in front of a computer should pay special attention to resting and caring for their eyes to prevent excessive eye strain from depleting their body's qi and blood.
Meridian therapy: Regularly performing health massages on the head, face, and feet can help dissipate blood stasis. Additionally, persistent moxibustion on acupoints such as Guanyuan, Qihai, Zusanli, and Sanyinjiao can help delay aging. This is a simple and easy method for blood replenishment and beauty enhancement.
When experiencing blood deficiency and blood heat, it is important to avoid excessive dieting, quit smoking and drinking, and control your diet. Consume more lean meat, grains, dark green leafy vegetables, and calcium-rich foods. Also, ensure that underwear is soft, cotton-based, well-ventilated, and frequently washed and dried in the sun.
