Clinical manifestations: Palpitations or fluttering in the chest, insomnia with excessive dreaming, poor appetite with bloating after meals, forgetfulness and poor concentration, pale lips and nails, loose stools, shortness of breath on exertion.
Tongue: Pale, slightly puffy and tender with teeth marks and a thin white coating. Pulse: Fine and weak, especially feeble at the left Cun (Heart) position and soft at the right Guan (Spleen).
Treatment principle: The Spleen underproduces Blood when weakened; the Heart becomes undernourished, causing palpitations, insomnia, and mental fog alongside digestive tiredness.
Note: moxa applicable on ST-36/BL-20. Linked to this site's own Spleen-and-Heart-Blood-deficiency slide, the closest match, with the source's mixed Qi-and-Blood framing flagged against that slide's pure-Blood framing.
Clinical manifestations: Blurred or diminished vision, brittle dry or ridged nails, scanty menstruation with pale blood, numbness or tingling of the limbs, vivid dreaming or restless sleep, dull headache or lightheadedness.
Tongue: Pale body, especially on the sides, thin and slightly dry, with a thin white coating. Pulse: Fine and choppy, often wiry at the left middle position.
Treatment principle: The Liver stores and regulates Blood; when reserves run low from chronic blood loss, Blood becomes too thin to nourish the head, eyes, nails, and tendons.
Note: no moxa. Direct exact-name match with this site's own Liver-Blood-deficiency slide.
Clinical manifestations: Poor appetite, abdominal bloating after meals, loose stools, fatigue and heaviness in the limbs, pale or sallow complexion, persistent fatigue that doesn't improve with rest.
Tongue: Pale and puffy with tooth marks. Pulse: Soft and weak, especially at the right middle position.
Treatment principle: The Spleen transforms food into Qi and Blood; when Spleen-Qi is weak, digestion becomes sluggish, gradually leading to Blood-deficiency anemia.

4. Qi and Blood Deficiency
Clinical manifestations: Persistent fatigue that doesn't improve with rest, pale or sallow complexion with pale lips and nail beds, shortness of breath on exertion, dizziness and lightheadedness, heart palpitations.
Tongue: Pale body, may be thin or have teeth marks, thin white coating. Pulse: Fine and weak, weakest at the right Guan (Spleen) position.
Treatment principle: Qi is the engine creating and moving Blood; when Qi is weak, the body cannot produce enough Blood, and what little exists cannot circulate properly.
Note: moxa applicable on ST-36/BL-20. This site has no combined Qi-and-Blood-deficiency slide, a gap confirmed absent many times over this session — no pattern link is given here; points still link fine individually.
