The common physical types are qi deficiency and weakness, yang deficiency and chills, blood deficiency and hypoxia, yin deficiency and dryness-heat, damp-heat stagnation, liver depression and qi stagnation, and qi and blood stagnation. Generally speaking, the deficiency of basic elements of the body (Yin, Yang, Qi and blood) and weak resistance are called deficiency syndrome. For example, the first four are deficiency syndromes of traditional Chinese medicine, which can be combined with medicated diet to enhance the curative effect, and the last five are evidence of strong illness but not weak resistance, such as cold and fever, acute gastroenteritis, acute hepatitis and hypertension. At this time, doctors should give priority to treatment and should not take medicated diet by themselves.
