The transformation of Qi (Chi) a fundamental concept in human physiology according to traditional Chinese medicine, is crucial in maintaining various physiological processes. Qi, exhibiting different forms and activities – such as transformation, transportation, and directional changes – fundamentally impacts various aspects of human health and activity. It can condense to form the material body, exhibiting a Yin nature, or disperse to instigate movement, representing Yang. This Yin and Yang of Qi underpin human physiology, ensuring processes like movement, growth, and reproduction occur when Qi is aptly transformed. A flourishing Qi indicates health, while its weakness or misdirection signifies disease. Proper Qi transformation and directionality also influence other physiological aspects like blood movement, essence transformation, body fluids’ movement, food digestion, nutrient absorption, waste excretion, and the moistening of sinews, bones, and skin while providing resistance to external pathogens.
General process of Qi production and circulation in the body as per TCM.
### 1. Inherited Qi (先天之气, Xiāntiān Zhī Qì)
- **Concept**: We inherit a certain amount of Qi, known as Pre-Heaven Qi or Yuan Qi, from our parents at conception, which is stored in the Kidneys and utilized throughout our lives.
### 2. Acquired Qi (后天之气, Hòutiān Zhī Qì)
- **Concept**: This refers to Qi derived after birth (Post-Heaven Qi) from the food we consume and the air we breathe.
### 3. Production of Zong Qi (宗气)
- **Inhalation**: When we breathe, the Lungs inhale air, extracting clean Qi known as “Clear Qi“ (清气, Qīng Qì).
- **Combination**: This Clear Qi combines with the food essence (Grain Qi or 食气, Shí Qì) derived from the food and fluids processed by the Spleen and Stomach.
- **Formulation**: Together, they form “Zong Qi“ (宗气), which is particularly vital for the functioning of the heart and lungs.
### 4. Formation of Ying Qi and Wei Qi (营气 & 卫气)
- **Ying Qi**: Zong Qi is transformed into “Ying Qi“ (营气, Nutritive Qi), which circulates with blood in the vessels to nourish the body.
- **Wei Qi**: A portion is also transformed into “Wei Qi“ (卫气, Defensive Qi), which flows outside the vessels, providing an energetic barrier against external pathogens and regulating body temperature.
### 5. Further Transformations
- **Transportation**: Qi, in various forms, is transported throughout the body along channels or meridians.
- **Yuan Qi Activation**: The everyday Qi derived from food and air helps activate and support Yuan Qi (Original Qi, 元气) from the Kidneys. Yuan Qi plays a vital role in promoting all physiological activities and is crucial for growth, development, and reproduction.
- **Coordination**: Various forms of Qi, including Organ Qi, work collaboratively, ensuring a harmonious balance and supporting various physiological functions, such as digestion, respiration, fluid metabolism, and the body’s defensive and regulatory mechanisms.
### 6. Balance and Regulation
- **Harmony**: Maintaining balance among different forms of Qi and ensuring its smooth flow is crucial for health in TCM.
- **Imbalance**: Any imbalance, blockage, or disharmony in the production or circulation of Qi can lead to disease or dysfunction, as per TCM theory.
### 7. Protecting Qi
- **Daily Activities**: Sleep, diet, and exercise, according to TCM, should be regulated to protect and conserve Qi.
- **Practices**: TCM often uses practices like acupuncture, herbal medicine, and Qi Gong to adjust and maintain the balance and flow of Qi in
