When turning the head or changing the body position, one may feel as if the world is spinning, accompanied by nausea and a desire to vomit. This sudden dizziness is often the first reaction to "deficiency of Qi and Blood," prompting many to rush to take supplements. However, in clinical practice, some individuals experience not relief but an increase in frequency of dizziness after taking products like E jelly, jujube, and Angelica sinensis. Why is this? How does traditional Chinese medicine view this phenomenon of "feeling dizzier after supplementation"?
Title
Understanding the Concept of "Deficiency" in TCMIn TCM, "deficiency" refers to a state where the body's vital substances, such as Qi, Blood, Yin, and Yang, are insufficient. This deficiency can manifest in various ways, including dizziness. However, it is important to note that not all dizziness is caused by deficiency. Sometimes, excessive supplementation can lead to an imbalance, exacerbating the symptoms.
Title
The Role of TCM in Treating DizzinessTraditional Chinese medicine approaches dizziness by identifying the root cause and treating it accordingly. This may involve herbal medicine, acupuncture, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle changes. The goal is to restore the balance of Qi and Blood, and to address any underlying deficiencies or imbalances.

Precautions When Taking SupplementsIt is crucial to consult a qualified TCM practitioner before taking any supplements. They can assess your specific condition and recommend the appropriate treatment. Self-medication can be harmful, especially if the wrong type of supplement is taken.
