Wei Qi (Defensive Qi)
Defensive-qi is a kind of qi which is produced by the combination of the air we breath with the nutrients we absorb from food. The functions of defensive-qi are warming and nourishing the body and protecting the body against pathogenic factors (germs, viruses and bacteria etc).
