All Qi disorders are attributed to the Lung. The Lung is located above the diaphragm, governs the movement of Yang Qi, and connects with respiration. In patients with Xu Lao (Deficiency Consumption), the Lung is internally injured, leading to a deficiency of Yang Qi.
Consequently, symptoms such as weak respiration and shortness of breath insufficient for inhalation occur. Treatment should focus on tonifying the Lung organ to unblock and promote Yang Qi.
