- Role in Immunity and Energy: Gu Qi supports the immune system, provides energy for daily activities, and nourishes the body’s organs and tissues.
- Balancing Gu Qi: TCM practitioners aim to balance Gu Qi through dietary advice, lifestyle changes, qigong exercises, and sometimes herbal remedies or acupuncture to support overall health.
