Orthostatic Dizziness and Chronic Fatigue? Donguibogam Already Understood Anemia

Modern medicine explains Donguibogam's blood in close connection with erythrocytes, hemoglobin, and oxygen-carrying capacity. In particular, iron deficiency anemia refers to a state where oxygen-carrying capacity drops because iron, a key component constituting hemoglobin in the blood, becomes deficient. Oxygen is essential for all cells in our body to produce energy and function properly; when the blood cannot transport enough oxygen, the whole body enters hypoxia. When in this state, oxygen going to the brain becomes insufficient, making it easy to feel orthostatic dizziness. When standing up from sitting, blood pools toward the legs due to gravity, and if the heart cannot sufficiently pump blood to the brain at this time, or if the blood itself does not carry enough oxygen, the brain temporarily falls into an oxygen-deficient state. This is also deeply related to the regulating ability of the autonomic nervous system. In addition, chronic fatigue is linked to mitochondrial dysfunction within cells that produce energy. When oxygen is deficient, mitochondria cannot produce energy efficiently, leaving the body constantly lethargic and exhausted. Cold syndrome also occurs as the body's thermoregulation ability drops due to decreased blood circulation, because the blood cannot deliver sufficient warmth. Symptoms such as heart palpitations or shortness of breath appear as compensatory actions where the heart beats faster and the lungs move more to replenish the insufficient oxygen. Even if blood test levels are within the normal range, if you have chronic symptoms yourself, you must consider various causes together, such as iron malabsorption or micronutrient deficiencies. Modern medicine is scientifically proving that Donguibogam's concept of blood delicately captured the holistic impact on the vitality and function of our entire body, rather than being a mere number.
