Feeling physically exhausted and weak, with spots appearing on the face, and looking older than peers—these are manifestations of qi and blood deficiency in the body. Today, Dr. Li will teach you a trick to replenish both qi and blood.

First, qi deficiency. Qi is the driving force for the circulation of qi and blood and the functioning of the organs. Qi deficiency refers to insufficient primordial qi and reduced bodily functions, akin to a car running out of fuel. Accompanying symptoms include physical fatigue and weakness, shortness of breath when speaking, excessive sweating during the day, and loss of appetite. The direction of regulation requires tonifying the middle jiao and replenishing qi.

Second, blood deficiency. Blood and qi have a mutually generative relationship. When qi is insufficient, it fails to propel blood circulation. Blood also nourishes the skin and maintains metabolism. If blood is deficient, it cannot properly moisten and nourish the entire body, leading to symptoms such as pale or sallow complexion, dizziness, blurred vision, brittle nails that break easily, numbness in the hands and feet, and skin prone to developing chloasma, making one appear older than their peers. The direction for regulation requires nourishing the blood and promoting blood circulation.

In this case, Bazhen Tang (Eight-Treasure Decoction) can be referenced. It is a combination of Siwu Tang (Four-Substance Decoction) and Sijunzi Tang (Four-Gentlemen Decoction), combining qi-tonifying and blood-nourishing herbs. Qi can generate blood, and blood can carry qi, achieving the effect of supplementing both qi and blood.
