How to make it
A 当归 + 红枣 + 枸杞 soup as a warming blood-nourishing tonic; 黑芝麻 (black sesame) as an everyday food. Take over time, in the TCM pattern.
Why it works
黑芝麻 and 红枣 are the everyday 补血 foods; warm, regular meals suit a depleted constitution.
Classical source
Blood tonics (四物汤 family: 当归, 熟地, etc.) are the classical "nourish blood" approach for pallor and dizziness.
Cautions: Ongoing fatigue with pallor and breathlessness, heavy periods, or black stools should be checked by a doctor — food therapy is support, not a diagnosis.
