Qi Deficiency, Blood Deficiency, Yin Deficiency, Yang Deficiency:
① Qi deficiency is like insufficient fuel for the body, leading to a lack of energy;
② Blood deficiency means insufficient nutrients in the body, resulting in dryness and malnutrition;
③ Yin deficiency corresponds to a lack of water and fluids, causing dryness and heat;
④ Yang deficiency is akin to insufficient sunlight, making one feel cold.
Summary of the symptoms of the four deficiencies: Yin deficiency leads to internal heat; Yang deficiency causes sensitivity to cold; Blood deficiency results in dryness; Qi deficiency leads to weakness.
If any of the above conditions occur, it is a reminder that you need to regulate your body!
Regulating the Four Deficiencies: Moxibustion is Most Effective!
Traditional Chinese Medicine often emphasizes that life revolves around “Qi and Blood“; using moxa sticks for moxibustion can replenish Yang Qi, promote the circulation of Qi and Blood, and help the weakened body recover.
When healthy, moxibustion can strengthen the body; when ill, it can help regulate and expel diseases.

From the Perspective of the Five Elements in TCM: Mutual Supplementation of the Five Organs!
The five organs themselves form a highly intricate and vast circulatory system, maintaining the continuous operation of life through generation, growth, transformation, collection, and storage.
Five Elements in TCM:
Kidney belongs to Water, governs bones, and acts as a filter for blood circulation;
Liver belongs to Wood, governs immunity, and is the detoxification base;
Heart belongs to Fire, acts as the pump, and is the organ that drives blood circulation;
Spleen belongs to Earth, the stomach is for storage, the spleen is for absorption, supplying fluids to the body;
Lung belongs to Metal, acts as the prime minister, absorbing and expelling waste gases while inhaling oxygen.
Mutual Supplementation of the Five Organs
When the Yang Qi of the five organs is sufficient, each circulatory system will perform its duties and operate normally, thus ensuring the body remains healthy and strong!
