In traditional Chinese medicine conditioning,Danggui is recognized as a master of regulating qi and bloodHowever, many people only know that it nourishes the blood, but overlook its core functions of clearing stagnation and regulating the triple burner. In fact, for various physical discomforts caused by the obstruction of the triple burner, especially problems resulting from poor circulation of qi and blood, when paired correctly, angelica is particularly effective. Today, I will share three precise pairings of angelica to help you address qi and blood issues in different parts of the body.
I. Upper Jiao: Angelica sinensis + Carthamus tinctorius
Suitable for individuals with short duration of sexual activity, often accompanied by chest tightness, shortness of breath, and dull complexion. This is likely caused by stagnation of qi and blood in the upper jiao. When the jiao is obstructed, qi and blood cannot smoothly descend, leading to insufficient blood supply in the lower jiao, which naturally affects the body.
This combination is like givingQi and Blood Channels "Clearing Stagnation and Promoting Flow"，Angelica nourishes blood and removes stasis, safflower activates blood and disperses stasis, enhancing the power of blood activation, clearing upper jiao blockages, and allowing sufficient qi and blood to flow to the lower jiao.Improve the issue of insufficient blood supply from the root.
II. Middle Jiao: Angelica sinensis + Tangerine peel
Traditional Chinese medicine often saysThe spleen and stomach are the source of qi and blood productionIf the spleen and stomach functions are weak, the ingested tonic medicine cannot be absorbed, leading to insufficient generation of qi and blood. This naturally results in decreased function, physical weakness, and a lack of energy to accomplish tasks.
This combinationAngelica nourishes blood, tangerine peel regulates qi, strengthens the spleen, resolves dampness, and stimulates appetite, which not only revitalizes the functions of the spleen and stomach but also enhances their absorption of medicinal effects.Ensuring continuous generation of qi and blood from the source helps the body gradually regain energy.
III. Lower Jiao: Angelica sinensis + Eucommia ulmoides
This combination is the main focusTonifying and Supplementing SimultaneouslyParticularly suitable for individuals with liver and kidney deficiency and insufficient qi and blood.Danggui can regulate the qi and blood in the lower jiao, preventing stagnation, while Duzhong can warm and tonify the liver and kidney, strengthening tendons and bones. The combination of the two not only clears blockages of qi and blood in the lower jiao but also replenishes deficiencies in the liver and kidney, fundamentally nourishing the body.
Finally, it must be reminded that everyone's constitution and specific symptoms are different. Therefore, if you really need to use medication for conditioning, you must first consult a professional traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to clearly differentiate the syndrome, adjust the prescription according to your own situation, and never casually take medicine on your own to avoid causing trouble to your body due to inappropriate treatment.
