National Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Wang Qi, is the founder of the nine‑constitution theory. He posits that individuals can be classified into nine constitutional types: “balanced,” “qi deficiency,” “yang deficiency,” “yin deficiency,” “phlegm‑dampness,” “damp‑heat,” “blood stasis,” “qi stagnation,” and “special constitution.” Each of these nine constitutions can be nourished and regulated with lingzhi mushroom. In particular, the allergy‑prone constitution, the constitution characterized by weakened immunity, and the constitution marked by congenital deficiency—commonly referred to as the special constitution—are especially well suited to lingzhi therapy.
