Q The term "Qi-Blood deficiency" is unfamiliar to me — what symptoms indicate it?
A Qi-Blood deficiency means both energy and blood are insufficient. Typical signs include easy fatigue, shortness of breath, a pale or sallow complexion, along with dizziness, palpitations, and cold hands and feet.
Detailed Answer
When Qi is deficient, the body feels heavy, speaking feels tiring, and sweating occurs easily. When Blood is deficient, the complexion looks pale or sallow, dizziness occurs, the heart pounds, and the hands and feet feel numb. Qi-Blood deficiency is when both appear together, and it commonly develops after surgery, after childbirth, during recovery from major illness, or when chronic digestive problems prevent proper nutrient absorption.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
At Dongjedang, we use pulse diagnosis to determine the relative weight of Qi deficiency versus Blood deficiency, then adjust how the base formula of this Qi-Blood tonifying medicine is weighted accordingly. Even with the same diagnosis of Qi-Blood deficiency, the prescription ratio varies by constitution.
