Qi deficiency involves five internal organs. The essence of the human body is hidden in the five zang-organs, so Su Wen's Theory of Five Zang-organs Differentiation says: "The so-called five zang-organs store essence without diarrhea".
Because qi deficiency involves five internal organs. Under normal circumstances, qi deficiency is bound to be related to the function of this organ. On the Rise and Fall of Fang Suwen describes different dreams caused by lung qi deficiency, kidney qi deficiency, spleen qi deficiency, heart qi deficiency and liver qi deficiency. Therefore, the pathological concept of qi deficiency should include qi deficiency of five internal organs. The specific manifestations of qi deficiency in various organs are as follows:
1. lung qi deficiency
If the lung is qi-deficient, it will weaken its functions of controlling the decline of qi, regulating the metabolism of water and liquid, and resisting exogenous pathogens, and there will be symptoms such as shortness of breath, spontaneous sweating, low voice, cough and asthma, chest tightness, easy catching a cold, and even edema and unfavorable urination.
2. Deficiency of kidney qi
The kidney stores essence and qi, and the yin opens and closes. Deficiency of kidney-qi, loss of health care function, mental fatigue, dizziness, forgetfulness, soreness of waist and knees, shallow and rapid breathing, more breathing and less inhalation, long and clear urine, female leucorrhea, pale tongue and weak pulse.
3. lack of temper
Spleen governs transport and transformation, strengthens spleen and regulates blood circulation. Shui Gu, who has a weak temper and can't transport subtle qi and blood, is short of biochemical sources, with symptoms of loss of appetite, epigastric discomfort after eating, fatigue, emaciation, thin stool, sallow complexion, pale tongue with thin fur and weak pulse.
4. lack of heart
The heart governs the blood, and the heart governs the gods. Deficiency of heart qi, palpitation, shortness of breath, hyperhidrosis, fatigue, listlessness, pale tongue and weak pulse.

How to choose supplements?
1. Because ginseng is very expensive, American and Canadian American ginseng is not cheap, and Pseudostellaria heterophylla is relatively cheap, but it is also expensive if used for a long time. Codonopsis pilosula is generally recommended. Codonopsis pilosula is the root of Codonopsis pilosula, a perennial herb of lemon family, and Shenlu ginseng from Shaanxi is better. Modern medical research has proved that Codonopsis pilosula contains inulin, alkaloids, saponins, vitamin B 1, B2 and other ingredients, which can excite the central nervous system, make people feel refreshed, eliminate fatigue, increase red blood cells and hemoglobin, and enhance immunity. In addition, it can aggravate the cytopenia caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Chop radix codonopsis, soak in 1 kg rice wine or Chinese liquor, take 2-3 tablespoons each time after 1 month, 1 3 times a day; It can also be used as an auxiliary material for soup, chicken stew and meat stew, which is very beneficial.
Codonopsis pilosula is a medicine for invigorating qi, and there is basically no side effect when taken normally. But if you take it for a long time or in large quantities, it will harm the healthy qi of the human body and produce dryness and evil.
2, licorice, if qi deficiency, you can often take licorice. The following two methods are commonly used to take licorice. Of course, there are many ways to keep licorice healthy, so I won't explain them here.
(1) With Lycium barbarum: It is also good to make tea with licorice. Has the effects of nourishing liver and kidney, invigorating qi, invigorating spleen and regulating stomach. Lycium barbarum and Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch are both traditional Chinese medicines, which are mild in taste and suitable for ordinary people to eat.
(2) You can make tea and drink it alone, and it can play the role of invigorating middle qi, relieving cough and resolving phlegm, clearing away heat and toxic materials, and relieving pain. Modern pharmacology shows that Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch has good sedative, detoxicating, hypolipidemic and antiarrhythmic effects. Licorice tea can be drunk for a long time, but it cannot be drunk continuously. You'd better drink it once in a while. It is unreasonable to drink it every day.
All of the above are health preservation methods under the condition that qi deficiency is not serious. If qi deficiency is serious, you still need to go to a regular hospital for treatment!
