Dr. He Haochen
Heart qi deficiency is generally treated through diet, medication, and other methods. Patients with heart qi deficiency may experience symptoms such as night sweats, palpitations, shortness of breath, fatigue, and weakness. They can consume foods like pork heart soup, lily bulb and lotus seed porridge, longan and red date glutinous rice congee. Additionally, certain traditional Chinese herbs that tonify qi can be taken, such as American ginseng, codonopsis, astragalus, and Chinese yam. It is also important to maintain adequate nutrition and engage in regular physical exercise to improve overall physical health.
