Meaning:

Literally translated as “to get one’s blood back,” this term is originally used by gamers to describe a tactic in games to recover their combat power after suffering a “blood loss” as the result of being hit by enemies. Things used to help gamers to “get their blood back” often include various food and drinks, sprays, herbs and other procedures. Today, this term is often used jokingly in a more general sense to describe scenarios where a person or thing is recovering from a disease, injury or loss.
