To treat Lung Qi Deficiency, all
organs involved in the production of Qi
have to be treated simultaneously.
Cardinal symptoms
Susceptibility to common cold, spontaneous sweating, low voice, forceless cough, shortness
of breath on exertion, watery sputum, aversion to cold
Forceless cough
Forceless cough originates because the Lung Qi is too weak to control the respiration
and to downbear Qi, so that Qi rises uncontrolled.
Copious watery sputum
Copious watery sputum originates because the Lung Qi is too weak to distribute the
Body Fluids, so that they transform into sputum.
Laziness to speak
Laziness to speak originates because the Lung Qi is too weak to control the vocal cords.
Low voice
Low voice originates because the Lung Qi is too weak to stimulate the vocal cords adequately.
Aversion to cold
Aversion to cold originates because the Defense-Wei-Qi
is sufficient and is not able to warm the skin and the muscles.
Susceptibility to common cold
Susceptibility to common cold originates because the Defense-Wei-Qi is too weak to
protect the body against external pathogens.
Shortness of breath on exertion
Shortness of breath on exertion originates because the Lung Qi is too weak to control
the respiration and to downbear Qi, so that it rises uncontrolled.
Fatigue
Fatigue originates because the Lungs doesn't produce enough Qi.
Pale facial complexion
Pale facial complexion originates because Qi is deficient and the transportation of
Qi and Blood
to the face is impaired.
Spontaneous sweating
Spontaneous sweating originates because the opening and closing of pores is governed
by the Lung Qi. If the Defense-Wei-Qi is deficient, the pores cannot be controlled
and spontaneous sweating occurs.
