人体之气，由精化生，并与肺吸入的自然界清气相融合而成。 一身之气的生成，是脾、肾、肺等脏腑的综合协调作用的结果。 人体之气来源于先天之精所化生的先天之气（即元气）、水谷之精所化生的水谷之气和自然界的清气，后两者又合称为后天之气（即宗气），三者结合而成一身之气，《内经》称为“人气”。
The qi energy of the human body is produced by refinement and combined with the natural clear qi inhaled by the lungs. The generation of qi in the whole body is the result of the comprehensive coordination of the spleen, kidney, lung, and other viscera. The qi of the human body comes from the congenital qi transformed by the congenital essence (i.e., vitality), the qi of water and grain transformed by the essence of water and valleys, and the clear qi of nature.), the combination of the three forms a body of Qi, which is called “Qi” in the “Internal Classics”.
中医认为气的生成来自：
Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that the generation of Qi comes from:
其一，禀受于父母，藏于肾中的精气，这种是先天的；
其二，是化生于饮食中水谷精微之气，依赖于人体脾胃运化，从饮食中摄取运化而成的，是后来精气；
其三，是由自然界中吸入的清气，经由肺而吸入体内；所以先天遗传身体状况是否良好，精气是否充沛，后天饮食是否丰富营养，体内脏腑功能是否协调正常都与”气”有着密切的关系。
以上不管是哪一种情况，都应在日常的养生中注意补充。
- The essence received from the parents and stored in the kidneys is congenital.
- It is transformed from the subtle qi of water and grain in the diet, which depends on the transportation and transformation of the spleen and stomach of the human body and is obtained and transformed from the diet.
- The clean air inhaled from nature is inhaled into the body through the lungs; therefore, whether the congenital physical condition is good, whether the essence is abundant, whether the acquired diet is rich and nutritious, and whether the functions of internal organs are coordinated and normal are all closely related to “qi”.
一、补气三兄弟 The Three Treasures Invigorate Qi
中药补气的药物很多，但常用的主要有人参（可用西洋参）、黄芪和党参，被誉为是补气“三兄弟”。虽然都是补气的要药，但应用起来应有所区分。
There are many Traditional Chinese Medicines for invigorating qi, but the most used ones are Ginseng (American ginseng can be used), Radix Astragalus and Pilose Asiabell, known as the “three brothers” for invigorating qi. Although they are all essential medicines for invigorating qi, they should be applied differently.
1、 人参（可用西洋参）Ginseng
人参侧重于回阳救逆，大补元气，它补气的作用迅速，能很快的缓解气虚、安神生津、缓解心血管疾病。但是，炮制过的人参作用比较刚猛，若出现虚不受补的情况，可选用新鲜人参，性味平和不易上火。
Ginseng focuses on recovering yang and reversing the adversity, tonifying vitality, and it has a rapid effect of tonifying qi, which can quickly relieve qi deficiency, calm the nerves and promote body fluid, and relieve cardiovascular diseases. However, the processed ginseng has stronger effect. Fresh ginseng can be used instead if there is a deficiency and cannot be supplemented.

2、黄芪 (Radix Astragalus)
黄芪和党参补气的作用相对平和。黄芪自古以来就是补气的佳品，因为它不但可以补气，还可以升阳，防止中气下陷引起的子宫下垂、胃下垂、肾下垂、崩漏及眩晕乏力，或短气不足以息等。这是人参所不具备的。当然，人参安神生津的作用也是黄芪所不能的。
The effects of Radix Astragalus and Pilose Asiabell are relatively mild and work balanced together. Astragalus has been a good product for invigorating qi because it can not only invigorate qi, but also enhance yang energy, and prevent uterine sagging, gastroptosis, kidney ptosis, metrorrhagia, dizziness and fatigue, or shortness of breath caused by the depression of qi. This is what ginseng does not have. However, the effect of ginseng on calming the nerves and promoting body fluid is also something that astragalus cannot.

3、党参(Pilose Asiabell)
党参，则兼备了前两者的补气作用，既能补气升阳，又可生津安神，通常和他们合用。有人可能会问，为什么党参补气两者兼备，还要合用呢？这主要是因为党参补气之力相对较弱，调整机体需要一个过程，所以临床上补气常常要跟人参和黄芪合用。
Pilose Asiabell has both the qi-invigorating effects of the former two. It can not only invigorate qi and raise yang, but also produce body fluid and calm the nerves. It is usually used together with them. This is mainly because Codonopsis ginseng is relatively weak in invigorating qi, and it takes a process to adjust the body, so it is often combined with ginseng and astragalus in clinical practice to invigorate qi.
