Q The term 'qi-blood deficiency' is unfamiliar to me. What symptoms indicate that I have it?
A Qi-blood deficiency is a state in which both qi (vital energy) and blood are deficient. Typical symptoms include tiring easily, shortness of breath, a pale or sallow complexion, along with dizziness, palpitations, and coldness in the hands and feet.
Detailed Answer
When qi (vital energy) is deficient, the body feels heavy, even speaking is tiring, and one sweats easily. When blood is deficient, the complexion is pale or sallow, and one feels dizzy, has palpitations, and experiences numbness in the hands and feet. Qi-blood deficiency is a state in which both occur simultaneously, and it often arises after surgery, after childbirth, during recovery from serious illness, or when nutrient absorption is impaired due to chronic digestive problems.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang Korean Medicine Clinic, we assess the proportion of qi deficiency versus blood deficiency through pulse diagnosis, then adjust which side to emphasize within the basic composition of Sipjeondaebotang. Even with the same qi-blood deficiency, the formula ratio differs according to constitution.
