If a person's Yuan Qi (Original Qi) is inherently weak, or if shouting and crying have damaged Qi and Blood, or if excessive use of purgative herbs or topical cooling herbs has caused Qi and Blood coagulation, one should examine the general principles mentioned earlier and adopt warming and tonifying methods for Qi and Blood.
