One of the main types of Qi energy is defensive or Wei Qi which is usually equated with the Western concept of immunization system. The Wei Qi is considered the main body defense system that is our body against attacks by “external evils.” If Wei Qi or immune system is strong, you will have less likely to suffer from diseases related to pathological aggressions coming from outside the body. This energy circulates Qi not blood but through the skin, which controls the opening of the pores to regulate body temperature and the moisture content thereof.

How circulates Qi defense

The defense system, according to the oriental medicine, only circulates day: climb the columma vertebral pierces the morning and head down the front the body through the afternoon to get to the bottom of the column night from where it withdraws to inside the body. This means that the time at which there is an external aggression is very important in oriental medicine because it gives a clear indication of what this happening and where, i.e. in which body is the cause. For example, an assault that occurred in the morning head can damage the immune system and will be more difficult to treat an injury late in the session.
