How should women with qi deficiency maintain their health?

Speaking of "qi", everyone knows that Chinese medicine often emphasizes the concept of "qi". Sometimes we are confused when we hear it, but in fact, the Qi mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine can be divided into many kinds. We often see the concept of damaging the Yuan Qi in martial arts novels. Yuan Qi is the basic substance for the operation of human life as described in traditional Chinese medicine. It can be said that a person lives on a breath, and if the Qi dissipates, the person dies. The so-called Qi deficiency means insufficient vital energy, which causes some body organs to not function properly. Women are the group most susceptible to Qi deficiency. So what are the symptoms of Qi deficiency?

The main manifestations of Qi deficiency are: shortness of breath, laziness to speak, general fatigue, low voice, shortness of breath when moving, easy sweating, dizziness and palpitations, sallow complexion, loss of appetite, false heat, spontaneous sweating, rectal prolapse, prolapsed uterus, pale and fat tongue, teeth marks on the edge of the tongue, weak pulse, etc. These are manifestations of decreased function, not necessarily an illness. People with Qi deficiency need to replenish Qi. Let's talk about how women with Qi deficiency should maintain their health and regulate their health.
