It is advisable to drink Coix seed porridge to replenish qi and nourish blood as well as remove dampness. Medicinal options include Jianpi Pills, Shenling Baizhu Powder, Wuling Powder, and Jin Kui Shen Qi Pills. Additionally, you can steep Astragalus (Huangqi) in hot water to make a tea for replenishing qi and blood. Astragalus is a key herb for boosting qi, with effects including reinforcing qi and raising yang, securing the exterior to stop sweating, promoting urination to reduce edema, and aiding wound healing and tissue regeneration. It is widely used in clinical practice for qi and blood deficiency and is highly effective in treating insufficiency of qi and blood.
