Whether or not running is useful in regulating qi deficiency is mainly determined by the patient’s condition and the tolerance of the patient’s physique. Running is beneficial for those with light qi deficiency, but excessive running may deplete qi. Therefore, running is not recommended for those with heavy qi deficiency, and exercise is an auxiliary method, which should be treated with medication, such as tonifying the middle and benefiting qi pills.
In Chinese medicine, the so-called qi includes essence from water and grains as well as clear qi from nature. Essence relies on the spleen and stomach for transportation, and clear qi relies on the lungs for respiration and exhalation. Running can make the spleen and stomach healthy and make the source of essence abundant, and the lungs can be exercised to enrich and nourish the clear qi, so it is beneficial for those with a light qi deficiency to be regulated by running.
However, it should be noted that the running time should not be too long, otherwise it may lead to excessive fatigue and exhaustion of qi, which is not conducive to the recovery of the condition.
For people with more serious qi deficiency, there are often heavy fatigue, lack of energy and even shortness of breath, shortness of breath and other manifestations, so for running this kind of exercise patients often can not tolerate, you should choose to walk, tai chi and other more gentle way of exercise, and exercise should only be used as an auxiliary means of qi deficiency in serious cases should be treated with drugs, such as tonifying the middle and benefiting the qi pills, the six junzi pills, ginseng ling baijutsu powder, and so on.
It is necessary to exercise and take the above medications under the guidance of a doctor, and it is recommended that people with qi deficiency should consult a professional doctor in a timely manner.
