Girls and women lose a lot of blood every month. If you’re also an athlete, then you use up even more Energy and Blood every time you work out or participate in a sporting contest.
Most women in the West suffer from a deficit in blood. That’s because they don’t understand what’s happening or never give it a second’s thought and neither do their medical doctors.
So a lot of women continue to get behind. Being Blood Deficient may result in insomnia, emotional issues, menstrual pain or other menstrual disorders, low energy, feeling of cold, unhealthy hair and nails, and a pale complexion.
The Chinese use herbal formulas – not just single herbs – to enhance the body’s ability to make more Blood. So seeing a qualified and experienced practitioner is important for a proper diagnosis because more than one thing may be affecting your menstrual cycle and fertility.
There’s more to it then merely taking iron supplements. Once your body is able to make Blood, then there could be less problems with cramps and other menstrual issues. Certainly having enough Blood in your system makes it better to uphold a pregnancy too.
The next thing to discuss is how the emotional state affects the menstrual cycle and then what to do about it.
