Patient's question:
I have body pain and went to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. They said I have spleen deficiency and kidney deficiency. I noticed the herbs they prescribed for me include Codonopsis, Cinnamon, Poria, etc. {something like Ten Complete Formula}. They also said my two pulses are deep and thin, and my tongue has thick white coating. Currently, I don't want to eat dinner, have no appetite, feel severe dizziness, and weakness, etc. What kind of help I need: I want to know why I have no appetite and severe dizziness? Can I take these Chinese herbal medicines?Doctor's answer:
Dear Consultee,Low appetite may be due to poor spleen function, dizziness could indicate insufficient qi and blood, a deep and thin pulse confirms insufficient qi and blood, and a white, thick tongue may suggest yin deficiency. Shengquan Dabu Wan is a formula that tonifies both qi and blood. You can try taking it to see how you feel.
These traditional Chinese medicines are generally suitable for your condition. You can take them for a period of time and then adjust further based on your body's response.
Wishing you good health!
