Deficiency syndromes, also known as consumptive disorders, refer to a group of chronic diseases caused by the decline of zang-fu organs and the weakness of original qi. Those who are inherently deficient, suffer from post-natal malnutrition, fail to nourish themselves due to prolonged illness, accumulate internal injuries from overexertion, indulge excessively in alcohol and sex, or experience emotional disturbances, gradually leading to the exhaustion of qi, prolonged deficiency that fails to recover, and ultimately manifesting as various deficiency syndromes, all fall under the scope of this condition. This book compiles 207 historical medical texts, collects over 750 preferred prescriptions, and includes case studies and medical discussions from 48 experts. This special collection is one of the "Common Disease Syndromes in Traditional Chinese Medicine Literature Special Collections," designed to provide clinicians, researchers, and educators in traditional Chinese medicine and integrated Chinese and Western medicine with medical literature on common disease syndromes in various traditional Chinese medicine disciplines.

The medical literature cited in this book is organized in chronological order based on the publication date of the texts.
