How to exercise for lung qi deficiency? Two methods are recommended, which are simple and easy to understand.

Lung Qi deficiency refers to symptoms of weakened lung function, which is mostly caused by long-term illness, cough and asthma, excessive fatigue, or insufficient Qi and blood production due to spleen deficiency, which consumes lung Qi. So how can we exercise to treat lung qi deficiency?

Clenched fist

Clench one hand into a fist and open the other hand, and clap your hands together. This can strengthen the muscles and bones of your palms, thereby strengthening the peripheral nerves in your hands and enhancing blood circulation throughout the body. When doing this movement, coordinate your steps, clenching your fists and clapping your hands while walking or stepping.

Nowadays, people drive cars when they go out and take the elevator to go upstairs, and they have fewer and fewer opportunities to walk. Their feet become weak, and the lack of qi in the six meridians on the feet will lead to the decline of the functions of the liver, gallbladder, spleen, stomach, kidneys, and bladder.

Pat your abdomen

Pat your abdomen lightly with your left and right palms. There are several meridians passing through the abdomen: the Ren meridian, the Stomach meridian of Foot Yangming, the Kidney meridian of Foot Shaoyin, the Spleen meridian of Foot Taiyin, and the Liver meridian of Foot Jueyin. Patting this area with both hands in turn can help strengthen the Qi of the spleen, stomach, liver, and kidneys. The Ren meridian runs through the middle of the abdomen, controls the yin meridian qi of the whole body, and is responsible for the body's essence, blood, and body fluids.

If the Ren meridian is blocked, problems will occur in the urinary and reproductive system, such as irregular menstruation, impotence, hernia, pelvic mass, etc. Regularly tapping the Ren meridian in the abdomen can stimulate the secretion of sex hormones, regulate the body's yin meridians, and thus delay aging. Patting the abdomen is beneficial for liver and gallbladder diseases, urinary and reproductive system, digestive system, nervous system, eye diseases, etc. Some people always subconsciously pat their waists when they have back pain. In fact, back pain is most likely caused by poor circulation of qi and blood in the liver meridian. If you persist in patting the abdomen, you can improve and cure the symptoms of back pain.

Treating qi deficiency through food is also the choice of many people. The most common one is astragalus, which can not only be used to soak in water, but also to stew soup and porridge. This not only enriches the multi-layered flavor of the food, but also can nourish the body well, killing two birds with one stone.

A common Chinese medicine prescription for treating qi deficiency is Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Decoction. The main ingredients are five Chinese medicines: astragalus, ginger, red dates, peony and cinnamon. Regular use will not only not produce any side effects that are detrimental to your health, but can also treat a variety of diseases, such as cervical spondylosis, nerve damage, diabetes, neuralgia, constipation, acne, etc.

In addition to the Wuwu Decoction mentioned above, you can also choose Yuzhui Lingsan Powder. The main ingredients are Saposhnikovia divaricata, Atractylodes macrocephala and Astragalus membranaceus. Put the three Chinese medicines together in a pot and boil them into a soup. It is recommended to drink it as tea every day. It can well improve the qi deficiency constitution, and it also has the effect of preventing and treating qi deficiency colds.
