According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory, Yang and Qi are driving forces of biological activities in the human body. Based on the crucial role of the mitochondrion in energy metabolism, we propose an extended view of Yang and Qi in the context of mitochondrion-driven cellular and body function. It is of interest that the clinical manifestations of Yang/Qi deficiencies in TCM resemble those of chronic fatigue syndrome in Western medicine, which is pathologically associated with mitochondrial dysfunction.
Blood provides energy and vitality. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it’s considered a yin fluid; it creates a feeling of grounding and presence. Blood is vital when it comes to overall health and well-being. Suppose you’ve been diagnosed with low iron or anemia, or you have low energy, paleness in your face or tongue, thinning hair, dry skin and nails, issues with menstruation, pain, nervousness or anxiety. In that case, you’ll want to focus on building your blood.
