Climbing upstairs and feeling flustered and panting? This method not only immediately stops asthma, but also replenishes yang qi

As the saying goes, a person lives with one breath, and a tree lives with one skin. Chinese medicine believes that Qi is the root of human beings, and if the root is cut off, the stems and leaves will wither away. If you compare a person to a tree, Qi is the root, while the body is the trunk and leaves. Deep roots make the leaves luxuriant, and long qi makes the body healthy.

Do you have this kind of experience in ordinary times? Climbing a few floors slightly makes you gasp for breath, feeling dizzy, stuffy in the chest, shortness of breath, and unable to exert force all over the body? This situation should be noted, possibly due to qi deficiency. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that disorder of qi leads to disease, deficiency of qi leads to disease, and extinction of qi leads to death. This shows that qi is very important.

When a friend consults at ordinary times, he says that he has symptoms of qi deficiency such as chest tightness and shortness of breath. How should he recuperate?

There are many ways to replenish qi. Let's talk about two methods from the perspective of sports:

1. Get up early and clap your hands to invigorate your vitality

The hand is the stronghold of Yang Qi. In the morning, as the rising sun rises in the east, the yang qi between heaven and earth begins to rise. At this time, clapping your hands can vibrate the yang qi, promote the rise of the yang qi, and dredge the qi mechanism throughout the body.

Opening and tapping with ten fingers is a good exercise to promote the rise of yang qi.

Method: Divide ten fingers, palm to palm, finger to finger, and evenly pat. Remember to separate the thumb from the other four fingers to avoid excessive clapping causing congestion. You can tap gently at first and gradually increase in intensity later. Take it as a measure that your hands can withstand it, but not too lightly, otherwise it will not stimulate the palm acupuncture points and reflex areas. Pat once each morning and evening for 3-5 minutes.

In addition to the most basic palm clapping, you can also clap left and right palms against each other, and clap left and right hands against each other. Don't underestimate these small actions. Each small action focuses on one or several important acupoints and reflex areas. Stimulating them can open the meridians and ensure the smooth flow of qi and blood.

2. Swimming, fitness, and vitality

"Qi and blood", blood and qi are always inseparable, and the same principle applies to Qi sufficient for blood to flourish, while blood sufficient for qi sufficient. We can promote the movement of blood through sports to replenish qi in the body, especially those sports that require full body involvement, such as swimming and badminton, can help us circulate qi with blood, make the blood in the body flourish, increase the amount of qi, and achieve the goal of replenishing qi.

When swimming, you must pay attention to the following three points:

Swimming is best done one hour after meals.

It is generally recommended to swim for 40-60 minutes each time.

2-3 times a week is suitable.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) emphasizes gradual and orderly conditioning, and it also requires long-term adherence to replenishing qi. It should not be taken too hastily. In addition to regular exercise, you can also eat more potatoes and honey on your diet. Potatoes nourish qi and strengthen the body, honey warms yang and replenishes qi, especially suitable for men with qi deficiency, low back pain, and busy work.

The above has explained the importance of Qi and the methods for regulating Qi deficiency, but there are many types of symptoms of Qi deficiency. Some friends do not know whether they count as Qi deficiency. You can self-test based on the following symptoms:

Qi deficiency generally has the following 15 symptoms:

"Coarseness of breath and chest tightness, general weakness, lethargy, headache and irritability, dizziness and tinnitus, fullness and bloating in the upper abdomen, feeling of falling down in the lower abdomen, urgency and frequency of urination, painful urination, incomplete lifting and firmness, impotence, premature ejaculation, insomnia and alopecia, numbness of limbs, excessive night sweats and dreams, and confusion in thinking.".

If there are more than 3 symptoms, it can be diagnosed as Qi deficiency. Everyone can compare and self test.
