CORE DEFINITION

A subtle substance in the human body that promotes the maturation of reproductive function (similar to sex hormones), which arrives or exhausts with age. The 'Inner Canon' states that for women, 'at the age of fourteen, Tian Gui arrives; at the age of forty-nine, Tian Gui exhausts.'

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

A hormonal tide chart. When treating gynecological or andrological diseases, one must consult this chart. If a woman around the age of 49 (seven times seven) experiences hot flashes, it is the natural ebbing of 'Tian Gui about to exhaust,' so one should regulate accordingly rather than forcibly reverse it.

anchor

Anchor fast decisions

In traditional Chinese medicine, it refers to the substance transformed from the kidney essence when it is fully replenished to a certain stage, which promotes reproductive development and maturation. For women, it arrives at the age of fourteen; for men, at the age of sixteen. When the Conception and Thoroughfare Vessels are unobstructed and flourishing, menstruation or essence descends. The mechanism is that when Tian Gui arrives, one has reproductive ability; when it exhausts, there is decline.
