Correlation between Melatonin and Ying-wei (营卫) Qi in Traditional Chinese Medicine
As the most natural antioxidant in the body, melatonin has irreplaceable functions of regulating human biological rhythm, anti-inflammation, enhancing immunity, anti-tumor and anti-aging. The
qi
of
ying
-
wei
(营卫) is the subtle substance that constitutes the human body and maintains the balance of
yin
and
yang
, which is similar with melatonin in terms of definition, connotation and physiological function. Based on the
ying
-
wei
theory in
Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor
(《黄帝内经》) and the researches of melatonin in modern medicine, the author discussed the correlation between the
qi
of
ying
-
wei
and melatonin from the aspects of origin, function, physiology and pathology, in order to provide scientific basis for the combination of
ying
-
wei
theory and modern medicine.
