Nowadays, many people suffer from blood deficiency. I’m often asked why I so easily feel dizzy, have trouble sleeping, and lack energy. Upon examining the symptoms—pale, whitish tongue and poor complexion—it’s clear that blood deficiency is at play.

What are the symptoms of blood deficiency?

1. The complexion lacks radiance, and the face never appears rosy or healthy.

2. Insomnia is often due to blood failing to nourish the heart; when the spirit lacks proper nourishment, insomnia ensues.

3. Forgetfulness—this, too, is due to the blood’s failure to nourish the heart.

4. Certain mucosal areas appear pale, such as the color of the nail beds, the lips, and the eyelids, which may appear rather whitish.

5. Easily fatigued. Even after walking or working only a short distance or for a brief period, one feels so exhausted that “one’s bones seem to be falling apart.” When fatigued, palpitations are common, the heart beats erratically and weakly, and dizziness often occurs.

6. People with blood deficiency often have warm hands and feet in summer, but their extremities turn icy cold as soon as winter arrives. The same holds true when they step into an air-conditioned room during the summer—body temperature fluctuates in response to ambient conditions. Such individuals are sensitive to cold drafts and tend to wear more clothing than others in winter.

7. If, after squatting for two minutes and then standing up abruptly, you experience a sudden darkening of vision before things return to normal, this often indicates a deficiency of both qi and blood. However, according to traditional Chinese medicine, qi and blood mutually generate one another; therefore, tonifying the blood at such times can often yield very effective results.

8. The tongue body is pale and white, with no sign of redness or luster.

In addition, another common symptom in women with blood deficiency is premenstrual headache. Many physicians treat it by regulating the liver and smoothing the flow of qi, but the results are often unsatisfactory. In fact, this type of headache arises because the deficient blood fails to nourish the head; once the blood is adequately replenished, the headache typically resolves quickly.

How should blood deficiency be nourished?

1. The efficacy of Ganoderma lucidum in adjunctive treatment of insomnia is well established. The Shennong Ben Cao Jing explicitly states that Ganoderma lucidum “calms the spirit, promotes sleep, and nourishes vital energy,” while the Chinese Pharmacopoeia clearly identifies it as a “heart‑nourishing, spirit‑calming herb that effectively aids sleep and tranquilizes the mind.”

2. Pharmacological experiments have demonstrated that Ganoderma lucidum extract significantly reduces spontaneous locomotor activity and prolongs sleep duration in mice, thereby confirming its sedative and hypnotic effects.

3. The active constituent ganoderic acid in Lingzhi mushroom exhibits central nervous system–suppressing effects and exerts calming, sedative, and analgesic actions.

4. Lingzhi contains B vitamins, which play an important role in calming the nervous system. In particular, vitamin B6 not only helps to stabilize nerve function but also enhances sleep quality by promoting melatonin secretion. Additionally, vitamin B6 helps balance potassium and sodium levels, stabilizing the nervous system and fostering a “natural antidepressant” effect, thereby alleviating stress and encouraging the body to relax and enter a state of rest more effectively.

5. Lingzhi is the only traditional Chinese medicinal herb that is non‑toxic and has no side effects. It does not cause dependency or addiction, and long-term consumption poses no harm to the body; on the contrary, it offers numerous health benefits.

People with blood deficiency often experience tension and anxiety, which can disrupt sleep or lead to early morning awakenings. Sleep is a reflection of overall health. Lingzhi’s holistic approach to addressing sleep disorders fundamentally improves one’s state of well‑being. By managing mental stress and consistently taking lingzhi, you can enjoy restful sleep—essential for maintaining the energy needed to pursue success. In addition, cultivate healthy sleep habits: avoid staying up late, aim to fall asleep by 11 p.m., and refrain from vigorous activity before bed. Also, limit consumption of tea, coffee, and other stimulants, as these can overstimulate the brain and interfere with falling asleep.
