Qi and blood are two basic substances in the human body, and they play an important role in human life activities. Qi has the functions of promoting and regulating, warming and cooling, defending, consolidating and mediating; blood has the functions of nourishing and transforming the spirit.
Qi is a very fine substance in the human body that is very active and keeps running. It is one of the basic substances that constitute the human body and maintain human life activities. Qi keeps running, promoting and regulating the metabolism in the human body and maintaining the life process of the human body. The cessation of qi movement means the end of life.
Blood is a nutritious red liquid substance that circulates in the veins. It is one of the basic substances that constitute the human body and maintain human life activities. "Suwen·Tiaojinglun" emphasizes that "what people have is blood and qi."

At this time, you must first ensure that the three meals are normal, the diet has both meat and vegetables, the staple food has coarse grains and fine grains, do not overeat, and then continue to supplement.
Poor spleen and stomach transportation: such as abdominal pain, bloating, poor appetite, indigestion and other symptoms after the fall.
