# Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine for Low Energy

Sabine Wilms has spent over a decade studying medieval Chinese medicine and gynaecology. Her published works include translating Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand in Gold as well as writing a book on female bodies and cultivating life.

 Sun Simiao stands out among ancient medical writers because he placed great value on expanding our understanding of personal cultivation beyond self-improvement to encompass society and macrocosm improvement as a whole. He elaborated this idea further in the introductory scrolls of Essential Prescriptions.

 

## 3. Strengthens the spleen

 The spleen is responsible for food transformation, so a decrease in energy can cause digestive symptoms like bloating, fatigue, loose stools and easy bruising. Herbal remedies and acupuncture treatments can support healthy spleen function so your body can extract essential substances from what you eat.

 [![Rejuvenate your whole body & balance your health without medications - now remotely!](https://alsuprun.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/BioresonanceTopAd.png)](https://www.bioresonance.rent) Centuries of clinical experience have generated an extraordinary array of spleen-tonifying herbal remedies. Such time-tested formulas as Si Jun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction), which blends these herbal remedies with dampness-draining ones such as ginseng, atractylodes and poria to strengthen digestion, increase vitality, and address imbalance at its source.

 Diet is also key in maintaining the health of the spleen. When choosing your meals, strive to eat warm, cooked foods that can easily be digested. Avoid “cold energy” foods such as bread, pasta, ice cream and heavy dairy. For added nourishment before each meal say grace before starting!

 

## 4. Strengthens the kidneys

 Walking and other forms of intentional movement such as Tai Qi can strengthen both Bladder and Kidney meridian channels, so walking and practicing Tai Qi are great ways to strengthen these organs. Ear infections, hearing loss or ringing in the ears may indicate weak kidney energy that requires extra support; craving salty foods is another telltale sign that your body needs additional nutrition for your kidneys.

Specific herbs like C. sinensis, S. miltiorrhiza, R. officinale and M. Adriaticum have demonstrated protective effects via modulation of various signaling pathways such as PI3K/Akt, NF-kB and AMP-activated protein kinase (Table 1).

 

## 6. Strengthens the heart

 The Heart is responsible for controlling the flow of blood and oxygen throughout our veins, providing nourishment to all organs, as well as making sure Qi flows to all joints and limbs. When energy in the Heart becomes deficient, whole-body weakness results. Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine aim to strengthen digestion, nourish Spleen and increase baseline vitality while simultaneously addressing coexisting patterns like cold or dampness that impede Qi flow.

 Acupuncture and herbal medicine provide support for heart health by increasing joy, exercising regularly, reducing stress, maintaining sleep hygiene and practicing good nutrition. One telltale sign of Heart Qi Deficiency is having pale tongue with thin white coating and an empty (Xu) pulse — soft and yielding upon touching fingers at left Cun.

 

## 7. Strengthens the liver

 Chinese medicine assigns the liver with spring and the energy of wind and growth. When one organ becomes compromised, its impact can spread into the other organ.

 The liver’s primary role is to ensure a free flow of Qi throughout the body, preventing stagnation and balancing excess. This has direct implications on digestive health; stagnant or blocked liver energy may wreak havoc with both Spleen and Stomach function leading to symptoms such as bloating, pain or alternate constipation and diarrhea.

 The Liver is also essential in maintaining emotional equilibrium. A steady flow of qi helps us manage stress more effectively and promote resilience, but when this balance is disturbed it can result in anger or frustration being expressed freely – which acupuncture and herbs that promote smoother qi circulation can help alleviate. Incorporating nutritious food and movement practices which ease physical tension into daily routine can restore equilibrium as well.

## 9. Strengthens the immune system

 The immune system is at work daily, fighting off bacteria, viruses and toxins that enter our bodies through inhalation, ingestion or cuts and scrapes. It’s an incredible defence system that keeps us alive and well. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs contain powerful immune-enhancing ingredients that will bolster your body’s natural defences, stimulating them for maximum effectiveness. If your immune system has become overactive, Chinese medicine can help calm it so that it recognizes what is safe to attack while only targeting pathogens. Becoming more rested, eating warming foods, and practicing stress reduction techniques will also help strengthen immunity. Herbs such as Licorice root, Astragalus and Ginseng are great immunity-enhancing herbs; known as adaptogenic herbs which mean they can either strengthen the immune system or calm it depending on what your body requires.

 

## 10. Strengthens the skeletal system

 Studies demonstrate the correlation between bone strength and density and kidney health as well as vital energy flow through the skeleton, Chinese herbs used to strengthen bones by building qi, nourishing kidneys, and creating an equilibrium between yin and yang energy sources. This strategy can especially benefit postmenopausal women experiencing both loss of bone density and weakening kidneys – such as liquorice root, shiitake mushroom, Chinese taxillus herb, or cassia bark herbs for example.
