Of course everybody is unique like a snowflake. But according to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), all 8 billion of us can be divided into 9 constitutional types. \n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the most basic level, these different types, known as \u201cTi Zhi\u201d in TCM, distinguish between physical differences, i.e. fat and thin, short and tall, oily and dry skin, etc. \n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the greatest benefit of the study of constitutional types in Chinese medicine is promoting health. Ti Zhi has developed over 2000 years. And in that time, TCM sages have learned which health imbalances most affect particular constitutional types. \n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"x-short-quote-right\">Your specific constitutional type determines your skin complexion, physique, personality traits, and Yin-Yang balance<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>While it\u2019s certainly possible for more than one type to develop, say, blood sugar problems, TCM experts pay attention to Ti Zhi in order to recommend herbal formulas to help patients maintain Yin-Yang balance. \n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each constitutional type is guided more strongly by one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/blog\/5-elements-of-tcm.html\">Five Elements<\/a> (Wood, Metal, Fire, Earth, Water). Your specific type determines your skin complexion, physique, personality traits, and Yin-Yang balance. \n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only is Ti Zhi used by TCM experts for illness prevention, it\u2019s also a system to make diet and exercise recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your constitutional type is determined by the strength and abundance of organs and substances. Keep in mind that while you are born with a certain type, over the years, you can morph into another type. It\u2019s important to learn your type so that you can maintain Yin-Yang balance to prevent illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s explore the different constitutional types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/mid-banner.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TCM Constitutional Types <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 9 TCM Constitution Types are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Neutral<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Qi deficient<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Yang deficient<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Yin deficient<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Phlegm-dampness <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dampness-heat <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blood stasis <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Qi stagnation <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Special type<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Neutral<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>People of a neutral type have perfectly-balanced Yin-Yang. As a result, they have abundant Qi and Blood, a strong physique, and are emotionally stable. Neutral types also have normal, healthy bowel movements as well as healthy looking skin and lustrous hair. Most often, sleep quality is good, as is appetite. If you are someone of this type, lucky you and congratulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Qi Deficient<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As the name implies, people with this type lack sufficient <a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/blog\/what-is-qi-in-tcm.html\">Qi<\/a>. This means that lack of energy is a persistent problem. Qi deficient types tend to be shy and introverted and tend to get sick more easily. And when they do get sick, it takes Qi deficient types, who usually are flabby, longer to recover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it\u2019s impossible for you to wake up in the morning, and just walking up a flight of stairs seems like you just ran a marathon, or if it\u2019s even a chore to strike up a conversation, you may benefit from our formula <a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherbwholesale.com\/Modern-Essentials\/QiVive\" class=\"ahw-link\" style=\"display:none;\" target=\"_parent\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">QiVive<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/qivive\/\" class=\"retail-link\">QiVive<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yang Deficient<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This type shares characteristics with Qi deficient type. Because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/blog\/what-is-yin-and-yang.html\">Yang<\/a> is associated with the property of heat, if someone is deficient in Yang energy, they tend to run cold. A frequent sign of imbalance for people of this type is loose stool, low back problems, and, in men, poor sexual performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your hands and feet are persistently cold and you have no desire for intimacy, or if you have occasional discomfort in your lower back, <a class=\"ahw-link\" style=\"display:none;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherbwholesale.com\/Guang-Ci-Tang\/Jin-Kui-Shen-Qi-Pian-YanVive-Tablets\" target=\"_parent\">YanVive<\/a><a class=\"retail-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/yanvive\/\">YanVive<\/a> may help rebuild your Yang energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yin Deficient<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"x-gradient-bottle-img-wrap x-post-img-bottle-to-right\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherbwholesale.com\/Modern-Essentials\/YinVive\" class=\"ahw-link\" style=\"display:none;\" target=\"_parent\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/img\/liuweips.gif\" alt=\"YinVive&#x2122;\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/yinvive\/\" class=\"retail-link\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/img\/liuweips.gif\" alt=\"YinVive&#x2122;\"><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/blog\/what-is-yin-and-yang.html\">Yin<\/a> is the cooling property in TCM, people with Yin Deficiency struggle in hot environments. (Especially hot and dry places.) Usually, this type has a thin physique, has an impatient temperament, yet is outgoing in social situations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you feel like your body operates like a car engine that never turns off and lacks a cooling fan, you are likely of this type. Chances are, you\u2019ll also have trouble with occasional sleeplessness, and you\u2019ll feel thirsty even if you\u2019re well hydrated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your engine needs a cool down, <a class=\"ahw-link\" style=\"display:none;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherbwholesale.com\/Modern-Essentials\/YinVive\" target=\"_parent\">YinVive<\/a><a class=\"retail-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/yinvive\/\">YinVive<\/a> may help. Our Yin-nourishing formula may offer several benefits far beyond helping your body feel cooler. Because the Kidney organ is the source of Yin energy (as well as Yang), YinVive may nourish Kidney Yin energy. The Kidneys, according to TCM theory, govern sexual performance among other vital functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phlegm-Dampness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you gain weight easily and sweat profusely, even if you\u2019re not in a hot environment? If so, you\u2019re of the phlegm-dampness type. The good news is that if you are of this type, you\u2019re most likely steady and patient in temperament. However, because of phlegm-damp accumulation in your organs and tissues, you\u2019re more prone to have blood sugar abnormalities and metabolic imbalances. Another sign that you\u2019re of this type is if your skin tends to be excessively oily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a class=\"retail-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/wuling\/\">Wateroff<\/a> and <a class=\"ahw-link\" style=\"display:none;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherbwholesale.com\/Guang-Ci-Tang\/Fang-Feng-Tong-Sheng-Pian-Weitalite-Tablets\" target=\"_parent\">Weitalite<\/a><a class=\"retail-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/fangfeng\/\">Weitalite<\/a> are two TCM formulas that may help eliminate phlegm-dampness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dampness-Heat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a thin physique but also have an oily skin complexion, you may also have excess dampness in the body. But unlike the phlegm and dampness type, which has a calm demeanor, if you have damp-heat accumulation in your body, you\u2019re more likely to snap in anger in certain situations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say someone cuts you off in traffic. Do you honk your horn and shout at the other person? And several hours later, are you still thinking about the incident? If so, you may be of this constitutional type. In addition, if you experience skin breakouts and feel run down often, these are good indications you have excess Damp-Heat in the body. To support Damp-Heat removal, our formula <a class=\"retail-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/simiao\/\">DampClear<\/a> may help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blood Stasis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/blog\/blood-clots-what-you-dont-know-can-hurt-you.html\">Blood stasis<\/a> causes poor blood circulation. When you look in the mirror, do you notice that your skin is pale? Are there dark circles under your eyes? Is your skin dry, flaky or scaly? Are your eyes red or even bloodshot? Are your lips a dark red or purple hue? And do you bruise easily, oftentimes having no idea how you got the mark in the first place? Or, if you do get a cut, does it seem like it takes a long time for the bleeding to stop? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For circulation support, consider <a class=\"ahw-link\" style=\"display:none;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherbwholesale.com\/Guang-Ci-Tang\/Huo-Xue-Tong-Mai-Pian-CircuFine-Tablets\" target=\"_parent\">CircuFine<\/a><a class=\"retail-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/huoxue\/\">CircuFine<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Qi Stagnation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re of this constitutional type, you\u2019re not only tired, but the \u201cstuck energy\u201d that characterizes Qi stagnation will likely manifest as unbalanced emotions. For instance, if you frequently worry, have trouble getting good quality sleep, feel shy and scared, or if your spirit is low, your Qi may not be adequately flowing throughout your body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s another indication: even if you\u2019re eating healthy foods, because your Qi is stagnant, your digestion is weak. That\u2019s why you experience abdominal bloating often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our best-selling formula <a class=\"ahw-link\" style=\"display:none;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherbwholesale.com\/Modern-Essentials\/EaseTonic\" target=\"_parent\">EaseTonic<\/a><a class=\"retail-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/easetonic\/\">EaseTonic<\/a> disperses stagnation and encourages the circulation of Qi throughout the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Special<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"x-gradient-bottle-img-wrap x-post-img-bottle-to-right\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherbwholesale.com\/Modern-Essentials\/AllTonic\" class=\"ahw-link\" style=\"display:none;\" target=\"_parent\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/img\/alltonics.gif\" alt=\"AllTonic&#x2122;\" style=\"width:180px;height:300px;\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/alltonic\/\" class=\"retail-link\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/img\/alltonics.gif\" alt=\"AllTonic&#x2122;\" style=\"width:180px;height:300px;\"><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you someone who has to wear a surgical mask when walking through a supermarket because if you walk by products containing synthetic ingredients (the household cleaning product aisle), you may experience strong allergy-like symptoms? Or, perhaps even walking in the fresh air can trigger severe reactions from pollen. And, if you are of this constitutional type, even being inside your own home can produce problems because of dust or mold. When the weather fluctuates from one extreme to the other (calm-windy; hot-cold; dry-dampy), you\u2019re more likely to feel run down or get sick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To support overall health, consider <a class=\"retail-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/alltonic\/\">AllTonic<\/a>, which may support those that have, according to TCM theory, a weak constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Constitutional Type: Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, just because you are of a certain type now does not mean you are sentenced for the rest of your life with it. Also keep in mind you may be more than one type. If you are a Neutral constitutional type, you may not want to be a different type, as you have proper Yin Yang balance. However, for the 8 other types, you can use Chinese medicine to get back to a state of Yin\/Yang balance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why are some people always cold while others run hot?
