ABSTRACT
Based on the concept of TCM, the human body’s balanced and healthy system must keep both biological material and function in adequacy and balance. Any shortage or imbalance in either substance or function causes a condition known as “deficiency” (for example, deficiency in bioenergy or in blood and other body liquids). Functional deficiency includes all bodily functions:
nervous system,
endocrine system,
immune system,
cardiovascular system,
blood-generating system, and
metabolic system.
