Energy tonic

Energy tonics, also known as Qi tonics, increase physiological energy production. They are not necessarily stimulants, and in fact most are not. Instead, they help the body to function optimally, resulting in a natural increase in vitality. Energy tonics are generally believed to enhance the absorption of nutrients in the gastrointestinal system to yield energy and blood. Energy tonics that do this are said to influence the "Spleen." Energy tonics also nurture the "Lungs" and enhance the extraction of energy from the air through the lungs into the body's energy system. Chi is then said to circulate throughout the body via the "meridian" system, providing the organs and tissues with the vitality required to live and function.
In China it is said that "men are governed by Qi and women are governed by blood."
