In Traditional Chinese Medicine, we say that the world's best "medicine" is actually Qi and Blood. All the internal organs of the human body rely on Qi and Blood for nourishment. When Qi and Blood are sufficient, the organs are well-nourished, and the body can remain healthy. If Qi and Blood are deficient, the organs lose their nourishment, and their operational speed will slow down. Therefore, Qi and Blood are the very lifeblood of our bodies.

Today, I will share with you four Chinese patent medicines that can replenish both Qi and Blood.

First, Danggui Buxue Wan (Angelica Blood-Supplementing Pill). This medicine functions to benefit Qi and nourish the blood, making it particularly suitable for those with blood deficiency. What are the symptoms of blood deficiency? These include dizziness, a pale or sallow complexion, heart palpitations, numbness in the hands and feet, a tendency to cramp, and insomnia with excessive dreaming or waking up easily. Why does this happen? Because blood nourishes the spirit; when blood is deficient, the spirit is deprived of nourishment, leading to these issues. Danggui Buxue Wan can replenish Qi and blood, restoring vitality to the body.

Second, Bazhen Wan (Eight-Treasure Pill). It can supplement Qi and benefit the blood, making it suitable for people suffering from both Qi and blood deficiency. Qi deficiency and blood deficiency often affect each other, as Qi generates blood and blood carries Qi. Such individuals often experience dizziness, shortness of breath, a sallow complexion, physical fatigue, and a lack of appetite. Bazhen Wan can simultaneously replenish both Qi and blood, bringing the body's vital energy into balance.

Third, Buzhong Yiqi Wan (Center-Supplementing and Qi-Benefiting Pill). Its primary functions are to supplement the middle Jiao, benefit Qi, and raise the sunken Yang, making it suitable for patients with Qi deficiency. People with Qi deficiency feel weak all over, lack spirit, are reluctant to move, feel dizzy and fatigued, sweat easily, and have no appetite. Why is this? Because Qi has a propelling function; when Qi is deficient, various bodily functions weaken. Buzhong Yiqi Wan can replenish Qi, recharging the body with motivation and energy.

Fourth, Buyang Huanwu Tang (Yang-Supplementing and Five-Returning Decoction). It can supplement Qi, invigorate blood, and unblock the collaterals, making it suitable for those with Qi deficiency and blood stasis. How does Qi deficiency and blood stasis manifest? Symptoms include fatigue, lack of energy, skin that bruises easily at the slightest touch, accompanied by palpitations, shortness of breath, insomnia with excessive dreaming, and spontaneous or night sweats. This occurs because when Qi is deficient, blood circulation becomes sluggish, easily leading to stasis. Buyang Huanwu Tang can replenish Qi to activate the blood and clear the meridians.

Friends, although these four Chinese patent medicines can replenish both Qi and blood, everyone's situation is different. It is best to consult a professional doctor before taking them; do not self-medicate. We must be responsible for our own bodies. Only by properly regulating our Qi and blood can we maintain good health.
