We always hear from the elderly that consuming ginseng can help to nourish Qi, but how do we know if we should replenish Qi? What are the symptoms for people who have Qi-deficiency?

Due to metropolitans' stressful lifestyles such as overwork, unbalanced diet and lack of exercise, these could be common reasons that cause Qi-deficiency. Here's a short list of the common symptoms:

• 😮‍💨 Weakness, lethargy
• 😮‍💨 Low, soft voice, little desire to speak
• 😮‍💨 Shallow breathing
• 😮‍💨 Pale, bright face
• 😮‍💨 Poor appetite
• 😮‍💨 Loose stools
• 😮‍💨 Indigestion
• 😮‍💨 Spontaneous sweating
• 😮‍💨 Pale tongue with a thin white coat, may have swollen sides and teeth marks
• 😮‍💨 Pulse is generally slow or weak

A few common herbs and foods are used to nourish Qi. Although these herbs are easily found and mild in nature, we should avoid overconsumption and maintain a balanced diet. If you are unsure, it's best to consult your TCM physician for treatment. ❤️
