Introductory:
The herbs in this section are used for treating patterns of blood deficiency; they nourish the blood. Among the primary manifestations of blood deficiency are pallid face and lips, dizziness, vertigo, diminished vision, lethargy, palpitation, dry skin, menstrual irregularities, pale tongue, and a fine pulse.
These herbs are usually very effective when combined with other herbs that tonify yin and Qi.
It is important to remember that because most of these herbs are cloying in nature, overuse causes indigestion, to counteract this effect, herbs that strengthen the stomach are often added to prescriptions for tonifying the blood.
