The most fundamental Qi in human life is the Original Qi (Yuan Qi). Li Dong-Yuan (also known as Li Guo, 1180-1252 A.D.), in the discussion that introduces the original version of Arouse Vigor, points out that a person’s capacity and desire to engage in activity, to transform to a new state of being, to adapt in relationship to the environment and to be imbued with feelings are all dependent on this Original Qi (Discussion of the Spleen and Stomach, section 2, 1249 A.D.). The Original Qi activates, maintains and gives intention to the entire personality. To nourish this generative source of so many dimensions of human life, Li Dong-Yuan created “Benefit the Middle and Boost the Qi” (Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original name for Arouse Vigor, “Benefit the Middle and Boost the Qi,” refers to the “Middle” and the “Qi.” The famous Ming Dynasty scholar, Wu Kun, commenting on this name said, “The Middle is the Spleen, the feminine, the mother of the ten thousand phenomena. Qi is the Yang, the masculine, the father of the ten thousand phenomena...” (Verified Medical Prescriptions, section 20, 1584 A.D.).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLi Dong-Yuan is renowned for emphasizing the central role of Spleen-Stomach Qi. In his dramatic style he states: “All five solid organs (Wu Zang) belong to the Stomach and all disharmony comes from its deficiency.” This Spleen-Stomach Qi, he says, is identical to the “Original Qi” and “is the pivot of the ascent and descent of the Yang and Yin.” The Original Qi facilitates “the clear Yang Qi’s ascent . . . the turbid Qi’s descent and regulates the nine orifices” (the two eyes, two ears, two nasal passages, mouth, anus and urethra). No human activity, behavior, sensation or thought is separate from Qi’s vigor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePHYSICAL INDICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the Original Qi is so central to life, its disruption can generate a myriad of patterns.

Historically, the Chinese believed that this circulation took place within the meridian pathways. A circulation blockage in meridians can cause stagnation, discomfort, occasional limitation of movement and impairment. The Chinese call this impaired flow “obstruction.” The adage of Zhang Zhi-Cong’s (1610-1672 A.D.) provides the normative explanation: “Obstruction is blockage; pernicious influences hamper flow and cause stagnation.” One of China’s oldest books describes thirteen kinds of obstruction (\u003cem\u003eSu Wen\u003c\/em\u003e, chapter 43).

Yan Yong-Huo in \u003cem\u003eFormulas Beneficial to Life \u003c\/em\u003e(1253 A.D.) summarizes this connection: “Because the body is deficient, pernicious influences invade the inward emptiness; obstruction is formed when Wind, Cold and Damp are thus admitted.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePSYCHOLOGICAL AND TRANSFORMATIONAL INDICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis formula strengthens the Liver’s sense of Virtue and the Kidney’s Will \u003cem\u003e(Zhi)\u003c\/em\u003e, so one can respond more creatively and less automatically to stagnation.

When Blood does not circulate freely, some of the Five Organ Networks may be deprived of nourishment, while others may become disordered due to Blood stagnation. Menstruating women are particularly susceptible to stagnation of Blood, especially before, during or following their menstrual periods. The adequate distribution and perfusion of Blood is essential for optimal fertility and healthy pregnancies. Physical, mental and emotional stress can lead to stagnation of Qi which in turn hinders the harmonious circulation of Blood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMen are also prone to stagnation of Blood engendered by high fat, high sugar (alcohol), high purine diets, overwork, occupational and recreational excesses, emotional distress and sedentary lifestyles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProper circulation and nourishment of Blood is dependent upon the healthy function of the Liver, Heart and Spleen.
