Eight Major Symptoms of Blood Deficiency
1. Individuals with blood deficiency have a pale complexion, lacking the rosy hue.
2. Those with blood deficiency are prone to insomnia, known as “blood not nourishing the heart,” which is a common cause of insomnia in modern individuals.
3. People with blood deficiency often experience forgetfulness, easily forgetting names of people they just met, which is also due to “blood not nourishing the heart.”
4. Individuals with blood deficiency have pale mucous membranes, such as the color of their nails, lips, and eyelids, which appear very pale.
5. Blood-deficient individuals easily feel fatigued. Generally, women enjoy shopping, but those with blood deficiency may feel as if their “bones are about to fall apart” after just a short walk. Additionally, they may experience palpitations and dizziness when fatigued, as their heart feels weak and irregular.
6. In summer, their hands and feet may feel warm, but in winter, they become immediately cold. Even in air-conditioned rooms during summer, they may feel the same; this is due to blood deficiency failing to nourish the limbs. Such individuals tend to be sensitive to cold and need to wear more clothing in winter.
7. When squatting for two minutes and suddenly standing up, they may experience a moment of blackness before their vision returns to normal. This often indicates insufficient qi and blood, but according to TCM theory, qi and blood mutually generate each other, and supplementing blood can yield very good results.
8. Individuals with blood deficiency have a pale tongue body, lacking a rosy appearance.
Many people believe that blood deficiency is the same as anemia, but there are certain differences. Many individuals with mild blood deficiency may not show anemia in blood tests; however, those with severe blood deficiency often meet the anemia criteria in blood tests.
