If Qi becomes dissipated through overwork, after a prolonged recovery, poor nutrition, exhaustion or excessive sex, loss of integrity can manifest as occasional easy perspiration, occasionally heavy periods, occasional watery stool or abundant pale or colorless urine.

Our endowment of Original Qi (prenatal) is one over which there is little, if any, control. But the capacity to generate sufficient or even a surplus of Acquired Qi (postnatal) is a consequence of the child’s constitutional endowment combined with parental behavior and the environment that one enters from the moment of birth. This is why it is so important to preserve and protect the fragile integrity of a child’s stomach and intestines during the first year of life and until age seven or eight, at which time the permanent teeth appear, marking, according to the \u003cem\u003eNei Jing\u003c\/em\u003e, the completion of the first stage of the life cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Chinese Herbology, the early life of the child is dominated by the activity of the Middle Burner: the Qi of the Spleen and Stomach. Until a child is about one year of age, he or she is mostly Stomach – a small, jolly, energetic eating machine. As this Middle Burner-dominated being grows beyond the first year, Upper and Lower Burner functions awaken, such as manipulating, exploring walking and talking.
