No. With each use the qi flow is smoothed (artificially, and perhaps even over-coursed which consumes qi--not truly regulated like xiang fu or chai hu and not in a formula where these herbs are supported by tonics many times). The crash indicates expended qi/jing and sucks the life out of you--like an alcohol binge costs you brain cells. Like I said, for healthy people with good post natal qi potential (diet/lifestyle habits) this deficit can be made up for the most part and the person goes on relatively unharmed having had a " fun " experience. Like chocolate--if you don't eat two pounds of it a day, you can afford to eat a little now and then as a treat and not get fat. But for a diabetic, the impact is much more serious and must be all the more occasional if ever at all. It's a matter of one's ability to replenish qi--the more ill one is (or the worse their lifestyle and diet), the more they must rely on jing to replace the lost qi. Qi is comsumed by overcoursing--scream and yell when you're angry and you'll just get shaky and tired. Internally regulate and course the stagnant qi with, for example, meditation or externally with exercise and feel invigorated. Get it?
