Qi deficiency generally refers to the human body in terms of fatigue, viscera is low visceral function; Yang deficiency is in the basis of Qi deficiency increased "fire" insufficient circumstances, the human body in terms of cold limbs cold, viscera is viscera feel cold. General Yang deficiency includes Qi deficiency.

The condition of qi deficiency is not cured, and further development can reach yang qi deficiency, which is the inevitable relationship and law of disease mechanism, etiology, and condition development between the two.

What's the difference between the two.

Qi deficiency:

Pathogenesis and etiology: It is a symptom manifested by the decline in the function of internal organs and tissues. Often caused by prolonged illness, overwork, old age and other factors.

Main Symptoms: low energy and lazy speech, fatigue, dizziness, self-sweating, symptoms worsened by activities, pale tongue, white veins, weakness.

Yang deficiency:

Pathogenesis and etiology: It is mostly caused by vegetative qi deficiency, improper conditioning, and development of yang qi deficiency. Or it is caused by old age, deficiency of kidney yang, and over-exertion of housework.

If you have any other questions, please "follow" my headline and I will answer them in detail.

According to the explanation of Chinese medicine theory, qi is the most basic substance that constitutes the human body. All human beings and all things are natural products of heaven and earth, that is, products of the "qi of heaven and earth".

From a modern scientific point of view, the concept of "qi" in Chinese medicine can be understood as the most basic substance that maintains the life activities of the human body, and also as the tiny substances in nature that are constantly in motion and have a high degree of vitality. It is the constant movement of these substances on a microscopic scale that forms the colorful world of life and creates our body and spirit.

Therefore, "qi" is the fundamental driving force that stimulates and promotes the life activities of the human body. It is the carrier for feeling and transmitting all kinds of life information, and the continuous operation of qi sustains the life of the human body, while the cessation of qi's operation means the end of life.

According to the different internal and external sources, qi can be divided into two categories: "innate qi" and "acquired qi". The former, received from the parents, is the root of qi and constitutes the basic substance of the human embryo. The latter comes from food, which is called "water and grain qi", and from the natural air.

From the point of view of the source and generation of qi, qi is closely related to the physiological functions of the kidneys, the spleen (stomach), and the lungs, especially the transport function of the spleen and the stomach, which transforms the nutrients in the diet into the "essence of water and grain", which can be further classified into It can be further categorized into "Ying Yin" and "Wei Yang". Yin is responsible for transforming the blood and nourishing the whole body, providing the material basis for physiological activities; Yang is responsible for defending against external evils, regulating the coupling, and ensuring the coordination and balance between the internal and external environments.

The so-called "qi deficiency" means that the source of qi in the body is insufficient, mainly related to the spleen and stomach disharmony, emotional imbalance and other factors, the specific performance can be subdivided into "yang deficiency" and "yin deficiency" two categories, of which yang represents "yang qi insufficiency", mostly manifested in external evil invasion, skin coupling loosening, and also insomnia. Among them, yang deficiency represents "lack of yang qi", which is mostly manifested by the invasion of external evils, loose skin coupling, as well as the problem of insomnia.

Yin deficiency is different and often manifests itself as anemia and reduced physiological function due to blood deficiency.

Qi deficiency and Yang deficiency are different types of evidence, and they are completely different causes and symptoms.

Qi deficiency is characterized by fatigue, shortness of breath, laziness, yellowish color, dizziness and so on.

Yang qi deficiency is a deficiency of yang qi, and common manifestations include fear of cold, lack of warmth in the limbs, soreness and weakness in the waist and knees, and so on.

However, qi deficiency and yang deficiency can also co-exist, but they are by nature different.

Not the same thing!

Qi deficiency is mostly caused by the lack of innate endowment, or acquired loss of nourishment, or excessive strain and depletion, or prolonged illness, or lungs, spleen and kidneys and other internal organs function is reduced, and the biochemical insufficiency of gas, and so on.

For example, if the Kidney Qi is deficient, it will appear that the Kidneys do not hold Qi and there will be more exhaling and less inhaling;

Lung qi deficiency can be characterized by chest tightness and coughing, and reluctance to talk;

A deficiency of heart qi can lead to panic attacks, palpitations, sweating, and other phenomena.

And yang qi is the term used in Chinese medicine, for example, in nature the sun is called yang, and the human body is called yin, and what provides energy for the body to maintain normal life activities is yang qi, also called yuan qi.

So yang qi refers to the energy that the body needs, which is the nutrients stored in the cells. Then yang qi is divided into two parts, one is inherited from parents, and the other is the acquired food intake, that is to say, food can provide us with yang qi is nutrients. As long as the human body is in normal operation, it is constantly consuming the body's yang qi.

The most direct manifestation of the lack of yang is that the body can not maintain a constant temperature, which is normally manifested as a drop in basal body temperature, resulting in slowing down the speed of qi and blood, the body's material metabolism and physiological functions, some pathological products (such as phlegm, blood stasis, stones, etc.) and foreign substances (such as wind, cold, dampness, etc.) can not be discharged in a timely manner and stagnation of the disease. If there is a slight deficiency of yang, the body's functions can basically be maintained, but people will have a variety of uncomfortable symptoms such as obesity, cold hands and feet, back pain and so on. If the degree of deficiency of yang qi intensifies, the body's basal body temperature will further decline in some of the original old diseases, old injuries or congenital defects in the stasis blockage phenomenon is more serious, resulting in these parts of the physiological function of the obvious malfunction, because of the blockage of the site and the degree of the different outwardly prominent as a particular part of the lesions.

Qi deficiency is more specific, such as lack of energy and laziness. It's a lack of strength, a reluctance to move, and sometimes a feeling that you don't have enough Qi.

Insufficient yang energy covers qi deficiency and blood deficiency. Qi deficiency and blood deficiency follow each other like shadows, and if the Qi deficiency lasts long, there must be a blood deficiency, and if the blood deficiency lasts long, there must be a qi deficiency. This is because blood is propelled by qi. Blood running must bring about qi. The two cannot be viewed in isolation.

That is why the so-called chronic diseases in general are basically both Qi and Blood deficiencies, although the severity varies. Some are weak in qi, some are weak in blood, and some are weak in both qi and blood. This one is a bit more troublesome.

Half of the deficiencies in qi and blood are the result of long-term depletion. This is more troublesome to replenish. It needs to be sustained over a long period of time. Sometimes injuries can occur, such as severe bleeding, which can also lead to a major loss of qi and blood.

The behavior of qi and blood depletion is usually staying up late, overeating. Drinking cold drinks and ice water, emotional temperamental ups and downs. As long as there is one of them, a long time must be a big loss of blood. Diseases appear in piles after middle age.

If it is cause and effect, there is this case of following the marks of the year, you can surely find the cause on your own.

If it is a mental illness, it is the same idea, follow the river of memory back to find, find, find, the thought is blocked there, that is the cause of mental illness, or one or more, have the ability to try to slowly unravel. When the psychosis is solved, it will be alleviated or recovered, but of course there may be a reaction to the discharge of the disease. Then replenish the qi and blood, and the disease will be cured.

Bad health is all self-inflicted, don't look for it outside, you'll never find it.

It can be understood that it is the same thing, the ancients said qi, is to say all except blood vessels all the essence, also known as the guard, blood for camp or glory, the body's yang qi refers to the guard qi, the essence of the defense against external evil.

Qi deficiency develops into Yang deficiency over time.
