How Qi is related to Blood

Qi is a vital substance that underlies everything that exists around. All phenomena occur due to the movement and change of Qi. The finest Qi is spirit, the grossest Qi is matter. Qi comes in many forms and can have different qualities.

First of all, all Qi is divided into Yin Qi and Yang Qi.

These two types of Qi embody two opposite forces that we can observe in the world: the Moon and the Sun, peace and movement, cold and heat, darkness and light, etc. It should be borne in mind that Qi is not just energy, it also carries information and therefore has a certain degree of independence, a special form of consciousness.

The human body, like everything else around, is made up of Qi. If there is enough Qi in the body, a person is healthy, but if Qi is depleted, then his body becomes weak and sick. That is why Taoist exercises, which allow you to work with Qi and the spirit, can restore a person’s health and keep him in excellent condition until death, and the deepest practices can even make a person immortal.

There are three main types of Qi within us:

1. Primordial Qi, which is given to us from birth. When this Qi ends, the person dies.

2. Qi of water and grains—we get this Qi by transforming the Qi of what we eat and drink.

3. External Qi that we inhale or absorb directly from the surrounding space (these are Sky Qi, Earth Qi and natural Qi).


All the processes that take place in our body are due to Qi. Therefore, as soon as Qi stagnation appears, weak permeability of energy channels, accumulation of cloudy Qi, diseases begin to overcome a person.

We can distinguish the following main functions that Qi performs in the human body:

1. Stimulation of growth and development—Qi promotes the growth and development of the body, as well as the physical transformation processes in the internal organs and the movement of fluids within the body. If Qi becomes small or weakens, then the growth and development of the body slows down, and the strength and potential of the internal organs and channels decreases.

2. Regulation of body temperature—if this Qi function is impaired, then a person may feel cold or hot, which also affects blood pressure and limb mobility.

3. Protective function—Qi protects us from external adverse effects. A person has a protective Qi field. It is formed from Qi that protrudes from the body from small energy channels located throughout the body. Also, if a person falls ill, then the internal Qi begins to fight the disease-causing Qi, constantly increasing its pressure until it completely heals the person.

4. Controlling function—Qi regulates the flow of blood, controls the moderate excretion of sweat and urine. The controlling and stimulating function of Qi in relation to blood lies in the fact that Qi, on the one hand, is able to activate its movement, and on the other hand, it can control the distribution of blood throughout the body. Lack of Qi, leading to a weakening of the stimulating function, can cause circulatory disorders, up to the occurrence of blood stagnation; Qi deficiency, leading to a weakening of the controlling function, can lead to uncontrolled bleeding.

5. Transformation function—thanks to it, all kinds of transformations occur at the level of the physical body. If this function weakens, then metabolism may be disturbed, disturbances in the functioning of internal organs, blood diseases, etc. may occur.


All five functions of Qi are closely intertwined and highlighted here only for a better understanding of the role of Qi in human life. Everything that happens in this world first happens at the level of Qi, and only then, sometimes after a long time, does it manifest itself at the level of physical matter.

There is a close relationship between blood and Qi. The accumulated Qi interacts with the food eaten in the spleen and stomach, and then this Qi enters the lung channel, where it interacts with the Qi of the lungs, forming and nourishing the blood. The resulting blood flows along the channels along with Qi.

The control of blood in the heart, the preservation of blood in the liver, the union of blood in the gallbladder are all the result of the circulation and transformation of Qi in the dense and hollow organs. Blood from the very beginning to the very end is inseparable from Qi. Qi can “generate blood”, “move blood”, “control blood”, that’s why they say: “Qi is the mentor of blood”.

Qi promotes blood circulation, and blood promotes the physiological activity of all organs, nourishes them, and they generate new transformations of internal Qi. Therefore, they say: “blood is the mother of Qi.” Thus, Qi generates blood, and then blood helps to generate Qi—this is the basis of the vital activity of the human physical body.

Blood and Qi, relying on and using each other, constantly move through the human body and are the basis for many physiological processes. Therefore, the ancients said that as soon as Qi and blood stagnate, diseases arise, and if Qi and blood move freely, diseases disappear by themselves.
