In the context of ADHD and Qi imbalance in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), we can use the analogy of a car's fuel system to illustrate the concept. Imagine the body's Qi as the fuel that powers the car. In individuals with ADHD, there may be an imbalance in how this fuel is distributed and utilized throughout the body, much like a car with a faulty fuel system. For some, there might be an excess of Qi, leading to hyperactivity and impulsivity, akin to a car with a stuck accelerator pedal, constantly racing forward without control. On the other hand, others may experience a deficiency of Qi, resulting in lethargy, lack of focus, and fatigue, similar to a car running low on fuel and struggling to maintain speed.
