Qi replenishment

Qi replenishment" refers to the strategy in TCM of restoring or increasing Qi, described as the vital energy necessary for life, organ function, immunity, and homeostasis[2][6][7]. Qi replenishment is achieved through lifestyle practices (like diet, rest, and movement), acupuncture, and especially herbal medicine—often called "Qi-invigorating" or "Qi-replenishing" herbs such as ginseng and astragalus[4][5]. This concept is holistic and does not map to any specific molecular entity, receptor, transporter, or enzyme in modern biomedicine. It is an overarching functional description, not a recognizable molecular target.
