Hello everyone, I am Dr. Wang. In daily life, many people experience minor issues like trembling hands, muscle cramps, or numbness in their hands and feet. Many dismiss these symptoms, but in fact, they are closely related to the deficiency of the heart, liver, and qi-blood in our bodies. Below, I will elaborate on this and recommend some traditional Chinese medicine formulas for regulation.

Xin blood deficiency, hand tremors find their way in

The heart governs blood vessels; in traditional Chinese medicine theory, the heart is like the "engine" of the body, driving blood to flow through the vessels and delivering nutrients to all parts of the body. Since the arms are closest to the heart, they are the most sensitive to changes in the heart's blood supply.

If the heart blood is deficient, it's like an engine lacking power, and the blood cannot flow smoothly to the arms. The arms do not receive enough nourishment and are prone to involuntary tremors. In traditional Chinese medicine, this is called "blood deficiency generating wind," just like when the land lacks water, trees cannot be nourished, and their branches and leaves will wither and sway.

People with heart blood deficiency, besides trembling hands, often experience symptoms like dizziness and tinnitus, feeling lightheaded with a constant buzzing sound in their ears; their memory also deteriorates, forgetting things they just mentioned; they also have poor sleep, with frequent dreams and easy waking, often feeling palpitations and a racing heart, as if it's about to jump out.

At this point, Baiziyangxin pills come into play. The Walnuts in it can nourish the heart and calm the spirit, and it also contains herbs like Codonopsis and Astragalus, which can replenish qi and nourish blood. Working together, they help replenish our heart blood, stop the trembling hands, and allow for a more sound sleep at night.

Liver blood deficiency often leads to frequent muscle cramps

The liver governs the tendons; the tendons are like the "rubber bands" in our bodies, allowing us to move flexibly. When liver blood is abundant, the tendons and vessels are nourished, becoming soft and elastic, making movement smooth.

But if the liver blood is insufficient, the tendons and vessels are like plants lacking water, gradually becoming dry and losing elasticity. At this time, people are prone to muscle cramps, especially noticeable when sleeping at night or after exercise.

People with liver blood deficiency, in addition to muscle cramps, may also experience dizziness, blurred vision, and difficulty seeing clearly; they often have nightmares at night and poor sleep quality; their hands and feet are also often numb, as if many small insects are crawling over them.

For this condition, Yangxue Rongjin Wan is a good choice. It contains herbs like Angelica sinensis and Milkvetch root, which can nourish and invigorate blood, as well as White peony root and Chinese privet, which can nourish the liver and soften tendons. With a combination of various herbs, it helps replenish liver blood, making the sinews supple and elastic again, reducing the 烦恼 of cramps.

Qi and blood deficiency, numbness of hands and feet is unbearable

Qi and blood are the foundation of our body, like gasoline in a car, providing energy to the body. With sufficient qi and blood, all parts of the body can function normally.

If you have long-term qi and blood deficiency, qi and blood are like traffic jams, unable to smoothly reach the extremities. Without the nourishment of qi and blood, numbness in the hands and feet is prone to occur.

People with qi and blood deficiency often have pale faces without color, like a blank piece of paper. They also always feel weak and lacking in energy, becoming short of breath after slight activity. Dizziness is also a common issue, and sometimes when squatting down and standing up, they may experience temporary blackouts in their vision.

At this point, Ren Shen Yang Rong Wan comes into play. It contains herbs like ginseng and white atractylodes for tonifying qi, as well as angelica sinensis and prepared rehmannia for enriching blood. It tonifies both qi and blood, helping to replenish qi and blood so they can flow smoothly to the extremities, naturally resolving the issue of numbness in the hands and feet.

If your body shows minor symptoms like trembling hands, muscle cramps, or numbness in the hands and feet, don't dismiss them. These could be signs of deficiency in the heart, liver, qi, and blood. Everyone can refer to the Chinese patent medicines mentioned above based on their symptoms for regulation. However, if the symptoms are severe or persist for a long time, it's best to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis.
