From Huangdi Neijing Suwen: “Yang qi is like the sun; if it loses its place, things cannot grow.” The ancient text describes Yang qi as the warming force of the body.

This ancient observation matches the modern experience of poor peripheral circulation, where blood flow to distant limbs is reduced.
