What Is TCM Body Constitution?

Your body constitution is your unique internal blueprint — shaped by genetics, lifestyle, emotions and environment. It determines how your body reacts to stress, food, climate, sleep and even skincare.

In TCM, there are 9 main body constitution types:
    1.    气虚 Qi Deficiency
    2.    气郁 Qi Stagnation
    3.    气滞 Liver-Qi Stagnation
    4.    血虚 Blood Deficiency
    5.    血瘀 Blood Stasis
    6.    阳虚 Yang Deficiency
    7.    阴虚 Yin Deficiency
    8.    痰湿 Phlegm-Damp
    9.    湿热 Damp-Heat

Most people are a combination of 2–3 types.
