The human body is composed of flesh and blood. Which nourishes all internal organs. If one's body is Full of Qi and blood, it is considered healthy. For females, this is more important. According to traditional Chinese medical science, "Femails are not only made primarily of blood, but also use it". Women will use up large amounts of blood during menstruation, pregnancy, breastfeeding, etc. Which may cause deficiency of blood. As a result, the blood can not nourish all organs in the body, which leads to sumptoms like pallor, weakness and sensitivity to cold. But if you take a look at the traditional Chinese medicine of donkey-hide gelatin, it was warliest recorded 2,000 years ago in "Shen Nong's Herbal Classic", and is known as one of the "Three Jewels of Traditional Chinese Medicine" along with ginseng and sika deer hom.
