Qi deficiency, and some more problems

Honestly your practitioner would be in the best possible position to answer a question like this as they are more familiar with your case as a whole and not just the symptoms you are writing about here. Generally, however, you are likely on the right track. Diet, however, is usually more about what not to do than what to do. So for you, no dairy, no stimulates and no cold/raw food. Everything else should be fine. You should also eat smaller meals, and chew your food while eating. Take a brief walk after eating and ensure you are resting well. You should also strongly consider learning qi gong and/or tai chi and practicing short sessions of meditation (10-20 minutes daily) - at least the meditation if you don&#39t have access to a tai chi/qi gong instructor in your area.

Chinese Medicine is a complex subject. Self diagnosis is sometimes dangerous since there are nuances and subtle signs that take years to learn. You would do best to discuss your concerns with your practitioner before making any drastic changes. Which brings us to the second issue. It sounds like you are making lots of changes in a short time. Drastic changes in diet often lead to digestive upset. Try taking baby steps and see which ones are truly helpful.

I also agree with Chad&#39s advice to practice some form of qigong and meditation. Qigong will help build qi but more importantly will help it circulate in the proper manner.
