Dr. He Haochen
Individuals with blood deficiency may increase their intake of high-quality protein sources such as fish, shrimp, eggs, and soy products. Additionally, under the guidance of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) pattern differentiation and treatment principles, they may take TCM herbal formulas or processed herbal decoctions. Commonly used TCM preparations include Shiquan Dabu Wan (Decoction for Invigorating Qi and Nourishing Blood), Guipi Wan (Spleen-Nourishing and Mind-Calming Pills), Yiqi Yangxue Koufuye (Qi-Invigorating and Blood-Nourishing Oral Liquid), Compound Agaricus Blazei Extract, Wuji Baifeng Wan (Black-Boned Silky Chicken and White Phoenix Pills), and Lujiao Buxue Keli (Donkey-Hide Gelatin Blood-Tonifying Granules). Furthermore, other foods beneficial for replenishing both Qi and blood include beef, chicken, pork, glutinous rice, and soybeans.
