What can be done to improve the dilemma of qi deficiency?

According to the Qianlong Dynasty's Ginseng Bottom Book, from the beginning of December in the 62nd year of Qianlong's reign to the third day of the first month in the 64th year of Qianlong's reign, the emperor had made three hundred and fifty-nine visits to ginseng, and the fourth class ginseng had thirty-seven twenty-nine coins. In this way, he gets about three grams of ginseng every day!

The prosperity of Kang, Yong and Qian is a particularly proud period in Chinese history, The Emperor Qianlong's daily efforts and opportunities can still "live a lifetime of 89", which has to do with his taking a small amount of cannibal ginseng to tonify qi all the year round 。

There are many medicines for tonifying qi. The most commonly used ones in TCM clinic are astragalus, codonopsis, atractylodes macrocephala and yam, but the most prominent one is ginseng, which is a unique branch, and was also awarded the title of Emperor Qianlong, the longest lived emperor in Chinese history“ Elixir ”。

The biggest characteristic of ginseng is Rapid onset, rapid onset, rapid onset ——The important thing is to say three times - compared with the strength of astragalus, it takes a period of time to play a major role, and ginseng can play a decisive role in life and death.

Since ginseng has a prominent role in tonifying qi, there have been many prescriptions of ginseng since ancient times. From the Han Dynasty's medical sage Zhang Zhongjing until today, most of the prescriptions for tonifying qi will use ginseng, such as the "first prescription" Sijunzi Decoction for tonifying qi, which is composed of ginseng, atractylodes macrocephala, tuckahoe and liquorice. Many prescriptions for tonifying qi in later generations are derived from this prescription.

There are two famous prescriptions that can show the speed of ginseng Qi tonifying - Dushen Decoction and Shenfu Decoction. For thousands of years without modern first-aid equipment and technology, too many people have lost blood, vomited diarrhea and died of serious illness, which were saved only by a single ginseng decoction. In a sense, ginseng in ancient times was equivalent to the hospital emergency room in modern society.
