Improve your body constitution luck
Become a well-liked person

Who does not want to be well-liked? Having good interpersonal relationships with people is not just about improving our communication skills. Have you ever thought of the first impression people have on you? According to Chinese Medicine theories, the human body is generally categorized into eight different body constitutions, which would also affect a person’s personality. In other words, your health would directly affect your behaviour.

Individuals with stagnation of the qi will tend to be sensitive to their surroundings and constantly experience emotional distress. Even changes in the weather can affect their mental health. Those with blood stasis body constitution would exhibit symptoms that are more severe as compared to stagnation of the qi. Due to stagnation of the qi and blood, people with this problem tend to overthink, and they are quick-tempered.

On the other hand, people with qi deficiency body constitution are usually melancholic and emotional, whereas those who experience blood deficiency tend to be more timid and reserved. Hence, it may be quite difficult for them to make new friends.

Let’s improve our body constitution! When our body constitution returns to a balanced state, we would become more relaxed and comfortable with our surroundings, and this will also help us become individuals that others would like to be around.
