What are the symptoms of insufficient Qi and blood?

First, appearance
Poor complexion
When Qi and blood are insufficient, the face is often pale or yellow.

For example, the face of normal people is white and red, glossy, and people with insufficient qi and blood look pale, as if there is no blood color.
Normal lips are red and full, and when there is insufficient qi and blood, lips will become pale or dry and cracked. This is because the capillaries in the lips are rich, and insufficient qi and blood will lead to poor blood circulation in the lips, which will not show normal red color.

In addition to blood, lack of qi and blood will cause hair to lose nourishment. The hair is dry, split, no luster, easy to break. And there may be an increase in hair loss, such as when brushing or washing your hair, you will find that more hair falls out than normal.
Eyebrows may also be sparse and thin. This is because Qi and blood can not fully nourish the eyebrows, so that their growth is not strong.
Second, physical function
