What is the Constitution?
Chinese medicine believes that people's physique is mainly divided into nine categories. In addition to relatively healthy and peaceful constitution, there are eight other constitutions in sub-health state, namely: Yang deficiency constitution, Yin deficiency constitution, Qi deficiency constitution, phlegm-dampness constitution, damp heat constitution constitution, blood stasis constitution, qi stagnation constitution and special constitution. Everyone's physique is the basis of TCM treatment, but everyone's physique is not limited to one of them. With the change of living environment and diet, it often shows different States.
What is qi deficiency constitution?
The manifestations of qi deficiency constitution and yang deficiency constitution are somewhat similar, and they are both negative constitutions in essence. Yang deficiency constitution is often manifested as insufficient heat, weak yang and fear of cold. Although the constitution of qi deficiency is similar to that of yang deficiency, it is mainly manifested in the weakness of spleen and stomach and viscera functions.
Causes of qi deficiency constitution
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that constitution is an inherent constitution with relatively stable physiological and psychological characteristics based on "innate endowment" and "acquired recuperation" in the course of life. The so-called congenital endowment can be understood as a person's physique at birth, which is determined by the baby in the mother. However, with the continuous development and growth of people, everyone's physical differences will become bigger and bigger, which is related to aftercare. In the concept of traditional Chinese medicine, man and nature are unified, so the overall concept of "harmony between man and nature" appeared. The so-called one side of the soil and water to support one side of the people is also a vivid description of people's physique.
The constitution of qi deficiency is similar to that of yang deficiency.
If the mother can't eat during pregnancy, or because of premature delivery, improper feeding and other factors, the nutritional intake is insufficient, which will lead to the formation of qi deficiency constitution after birth. If you use your brain too much for a long time, your mood swings or your nutrition is insufficient, people will also form a constitution of qi deficiency.
Manifestation of qi deficiency constitution
1, puffiness
For friends who want to know whether their body is qi-deficient, you can first observe your body shape. If they are a little fat, then they really need to think about whether they really belong to qi deficiency. People with qi deficiency tend to be overweight, but they just look fat, that is, puffiness, and their skin will show a relaxed and dull state.
2, neither too cold nor too hot
Under normal circumstances, people with qi deficiency are very delicate. As long as the temperature is high, they will sweat easily, and when the temperature drops, they will feel very cold. Chinese medicine believes that the "qi" in the human body can regulate the body temperature and control the opening and closing of pores on the skin surface. People with qi deficiency constitution have weaker ability to regulate body temperature than ordinary people, and it is also difficult to control the secretion of sweat glands, thus showing the symptoms of being afraid of cold and love sweating.
3, loss of appetite
We know that the spleen and stomach of people with qi deficiency constitution are weak, which affects the function of spleen and stomach. This will show that you usually eat very little, have a bad appetite, and often feel bloated after eating, so even if you put delicious food in front of people, it is difficult to cheer people up.
4, spontaneous sweating
The so-called spontaneous sweating means that a person sweats easily even if he doesn't exercise much, which is abnormal. The endocrine system of human digestive system has its fixed function, which will maintain the normal operation of various organs of the body. Excessive sweating will lead to fatigue and palpitation, especially sweating on the back will not only affect sleep but also lead to memory loss.

As mentioned above, the main reasons for the formation of qi deficiency constitution are the acquired living environment and eating habits, and these influencing factors can be completely changed. Therefore, it is very necessary to do some physical exercises to improve physical fitness, and at the same time, people will become more cheerful when exercising.
