View approved original text

Common symptoms in individuals with a weak constitution and poor complexion include anemia, insomnia, mental anxiety, and nervousness. These symptoms all affect the overall health and mental stability of the body, necessitating appropriate treatment. Anemia occurs due to decreased oxygen-carrying capacity in the blood, while insomnia, mental anxiety, and nervousness may stem from imbalances in the nervous system. To alleviate these symptoms, improving constitution, enhancing blood quality, and treatments that aid in stabilizing nerves are crucial. Therefore, medications used for these symptoms improve blood circulation and help stabilize the nerves, thereby enhancing overall health.
