Qi Deficiency refers to the weakened functions of the body's Qi mechanism, such as propulsion, regulation, and defense, leading to reduced organ function and immunity, and resulting in a range of symptoms or even diseases.
The nourishment of a Qi-deficient constitution should focus on supplementing both acquired and innate Qi. Acquired Qi includes the Wei Qi that defends against external pathogens and the heart Qi that maintains the normal beating of the heart; innate Qi refers to the kidney Qi stored in the kidneys and the original Qi in the lower dan-tian. By tonifying the spleen Qi, one can promote the formation of acquired Qi in other parts of the body, and nourishing the kidney and cultivating the original Qi can mobilize the body's innate Qi to exert its original propelling effect.
Moxibustion on points of the foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian and the foot Yangming Stomach Meridian can tonify Qi and blood, stimulate the original Qi, and facilitate the smooth flow of Qi and blood.
It is recommended to perform moxibustion once a day, targeting 2 to 3 acupoints each time, with each acupoint being treated for 30 to 40 minutes. Rotate the points treated, with a 10-day period constituting one course of treatment, and then rest for 2 to 3 days before continuing with the next course.
(If time permits and there is a need, more acupoints can be treated with moxibustion. The specific duration should be adjusted according to one's own physical needs.)
Consume more foods that have the effect of tonifying Qi and strengthening the spleen, such as soybeans, white lentils, and chicken; eat less of foods like water spinach and raw radish.
