What is yin deficiency constitution, and what is its manifestation? First, what is yin deficiency, a Chinese medicine term, as opposed to yang deficiency. Yin deficiency, also called "yin deficiency and hyperactivity of yang" in traditional Chinese medicine, refers to the pathological changes of essence and blood or body fluid loss, insufficient yin, insufficient moisturizing and nourishing, and failure to control yang due to yin. Because essence and blood and body fluid belong to yin, Chinese medicine believes that less is deficiency, so it is called yin deficiency. It is more common in patients with internal friction of vaginal fluid after prolonged illness or fever, and there may also be pathological changes of deficiency function hyperactivity of Yang. The manifestations of yin deficiency constitution can be divided into two types. First, it is characterized by the lack of yin fluid in the body, which reduces the nourishing function of the whole body and shows the characteristics of "dryness". Second, there are symptoms of deficiency heat and hyperactivity, which is caused by the rapid metabolism of yin deficiency constitution, the increase of oxygen consumption and heat production, and the continuous hyperactivity of the human body. Second, the main characteristics of yin deficiency constitution are that yin deficiency can't control fire (heat). If fire is blazing, it will burn yin fluid and be more virtual, and the two often affect each other. The main symptoms of yin deficiency are five-upset fever or afternoon hot flashes, night sweats, zygomatic redness, emaciation, red tongue with little coating, impatience, mental fatigue but difficulty in falling asleep, or excessive sweating during sleep, easy to lose sleep, frequent dry stools, palpitation, rapid pulse, hyperactivity of men's libido, or frequent nocturnal emission, and increased menstrual flow of women. In addition, many chronic diseases such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, menopausal syndrome and a series of other diseases have different degrees of yin deficiency. People with yin deficiency will also be "five upset and hot": palms, soles and chests are hot, but their body temperature is normal. People with yin deficiency tend to be extroverted, active, lively, irritable and often upset and irritable. III. Causes of Yin Deficiency Constitution The causes of Yin Deficiency Constitution include congenital deficiency, such as weak parents at the time of pregnancy, old pregnancy, premature delivery, etc., or acquired dystrophy, too much sex's exhaustion of sperm, accumulated fatigue and yin deficiency, or the transformation of Yang deficiency into Yin deficiency over time. Fourth, diseases easily caused by yin deficiency constitution People with yin deficiency constitution may suffer from many diseases, but most of them are related to yin deficiency and dryness and heat. Cold belongs to yin, heat belongs to yang, and yin deficiency will produce internal heat, showing the symptoms of deficiency fire disturbing the interior. Yin deficiency constitution is susceptible to diseases: 1, Yin deficiency internal heat is basically characterized by dryness and no moisture, internal heat, dry red tongue with little fur, easy to get tuberculosis, tuberculosis or long-term dry cough. 2, insomnia, tinnitus, forgetfulness, dry eyes. 3, skin spots. People with yin deficiency constitution have internal heat due to yin deficiency, dry fire, more dry skin, dull complexion, or more pigmentation spots or recurrent symptoms of oral ulcers. 4, people with yin deficiency constitution are more likely to have tumors if they have a tendency to congestion. 5, people with yin deficiency constitution will still have high blood lipids even if they are thin. If the yin deficiency reaches a certain level and the blood is sticky, they will get hyperlipidemia and hypertension. 6, the initial stage of diabetes is mainly yin deficiency, manifested as dry mouth, drinking can not quench thirst, skin thinning and drying. 7, constipation, less urine, yellow urine. 8, women's menstruation is reduced, or vaginal dryness and sexual pain. When menstruation is smooth, it is characterized by early menstruation. If yin deficiency is more serious, amenorrhea will occur, which is called blood-dried amenorrhea. 9, the body is thin, the hair and skin are dry and wrinkled. 10, resistant to winter and summer, rapid vision loss, backache and leg weakness. V. Manifestations of Yin Deficiency in Zang-fu Organs According to Chinese medicine, people with different constitutions of Yin Deficiency will have different manifestations: lung yin deficiency: insufficient yin fluid can not moisten the lungs, mainly manifested as dry cough, scanty phlegm, dry throat, dry mouth, feverish hands and feet, night sweats, constipation, little red fur, scanty body fluid, thin pulse or coughing up blood. Yin deficiency of heart: it is caused by overwork, prolonged illness or fever, which consumes sad yin. There will be palpitations, upset, insomnia, panic, forgetfulness and so on. Deficiency of kidney yin: deficiency of kidney yin, which does not control yang, leads to internal disturbance of deficiency fire and deficiency heat, or even disturbance of spirit by activating blood, which will produce pathological changes of brain marrow, bones, teeth, hair and official orifices. Liver yin deficiency: liver yin deficiency refers to the symptom of liver yin deficiency. Most of them are caused by qi stagnation and fire, liver diseases and warm diseases in the later stage, or kidney yin deficiency. There are symptoms such as dizziness, tinnitus, hypochondriac pain, drowsiness, feverish sensation, hot flashes, night sweats, dry mouth and throat, or hand and foot peristalsis, and less amenorrhea. Sixth, the principle of health care of yin deficiency constitution Yin deficiency means that essence, blood and body fluid are insufficient. If Yin is insufficient, Yin will not be able to contain Yang, and Yang will be relatively strong, while Yang will have accelerated metabolism and excessive consumption of body fluid, resulting in thirst, dryness, constipation and fever. Therefore, the principle of health preservation for people with yin deficiency constitution is mainly to nourish yin and reduce fire, nourish yin and moisten dryness. Always avoid staying up late and eat more light and nourishing food. People with yin deficiency constitution should avoid overwork, stay up late less, adapt to day and night changes and ensure normal sleep time. Avoid excessive mental stress, excessive emotions and dark consumption of yin and blood. Traditional Chinese medicine stresses nourishing yang in spring and summer, nourishing yin in autumn and winter, and yin is relatively strong in autumn and winter. At this time, we should take advantage of the trend to nourish the body and seize the golden autumn season to nourish yin for ourselves. Seven, the conditioning of yin deficiency constitution and the principle of appropriateness and taboo The best way to regulate yin deficiency constitution is diet and appropriate Chinese medicine to nourish yin and clear heat, nourish liver and kidney, and adjust good lifestyle and mentality. In autumn and winter, when everything is collected, the health-preserving person should raise it at the right time, and it is necessary to protect the yin essence and make the essence cohesive to nourish the five internal organs, which will get twice the result with half the effort. 1, people with yin deficiency are suitable for moistening the lungs in autumn: eat some cool and moist foods in autumn and winter, such as Adenophora adenophora, Ophiopogon japonicus, Polygonatum odoratum, lily, Sydney and persimmon. Nourishing yin in autumn and winter: American ginseng, medlar, lily, sesame, black bean, pear, tremella, lotus seed, jujube and fungus are good nourishing yin foods with good nourishing yin effect. 2, people with yin deficiency constitution should avoid activities that are not suitable for people with yin deficiency constitution: such as sauna, staying up late, sweating during exercise, etc. will hurt yin and blood. Complaining and getting angry can also hurt yin, pay attention to your emotions and always remind yourself to stay calm. Try to give priority to light diet, eat less spicy food, such as onion, ginger, garlic, leek, pepper, etc., and eat less fatty, thick and dry products. Eat less and avoid hot foods such as dried ginger, cinnamon, pepper, pepper, clove, longan, fennel and walnut. Eat mutton, dog meat, shrimp, leeks, peppers, onions, garlic, fried melon seeds and other hot foods in moderation. Eight, the meridian conditioning acupuncture of yin deficiency constitution is not very effective in treating yin deficiency constitution. Although some acupoints have the function of nourishing yin and promoting fluid production, the effect on yin deficiency constitution related to congenital is not obvious. Therefore, diet medicine and traditional Chinese medicine should be the first choice for yin deficiency constitution. What is Yang-deficiency constitution, and what is the manifestation of Yang-deficiency constitution? First, the constitution of yang deficiency is mainly manifested in people who are afraid of cold and cold, especially the lower limbs, back and abdomen. They can't blow air conditioners and dare not drink cold drinks in summer. Women often have cold hands and feet, pale face and cold lower body. However, if only the fingers and toes or the hands and feet are cold, it is not necessarily completely yang deficiency, which is also related to blood deficiency, qi deficiency and qi stagnation. Usually, blood deficiency means qi deficiency, and qi deficiency means blood, because qi is the handsome of blood and blood is the mother of qi. Usually, people with yang deficiency should pay special attention to the warmth of the lower body, back and front abdomen. As the saying goes, cold comes from the feet, because the Yongquan point at the foot is the root of the kidney meridian. The Huangdi Neijing says: "The kidney comes from the spring, and the spring is full of heart." That is to say, the qi of kidney meridian is like the source water, which comes from the foot and pours out to irrigate all parts of the body and limbs. Women, especially girls, should pay attention to keeping their lower limbs warm even if they are not yang-deficient. In addition, women must pay attention to wearing clothes, especially the abdomen, navel, abdomen and lumbosacral region, which must not be exposed to the outside. Because it is the part of the human body where Yuanyang is located, it is also located in the pelvic cavity. During menstruation, the pelvic cavity is congested and ready for menstruation. When the navel is exposed in front of the body and the thigh groove is exposed in the back, the blood circulation in the pelvic cavity will definitely be affected when the cold wind blows, which will cause dysmenorrhea or lead to menstrual reduction and menstrual delay. For a long time, menstrual blood stasis will lead to dysmenorrhea, hysteromyoma, endometriosis and other diseases, and menstruation, fertility and menopause will be affected. The physical symptoms of yang deficiency are usually: 1, fear of cold, and tepid limbs, which are the main symptoms of yang deficiency. Yang is like the sun in nature. Without it, the internal environment in the body will be in a "cold" state. 2. Diarrhea and indigestion refer to undigested food in the stool. The ancients had an image metaphor for this phenomenon. The digestion of food is like cooking raw rice into cooked rice, the stomach is like a pot for cooking, and the yang is like a fire for cooking. Without fire, rice cannot be cooked into rice. Therefore, when the yang is insufficient, the food entering the stomach cannot be well "decomposed" (digested) and directly discharged from the intestine. 3, lack of spirit, lack of yang, cell life activities decline, so it is sluggish and lazy. 4, the tongue is light and fat, or there are teeth marks. The consumption and metabolism of water in the body depends on the transpiration of yang. If the yang is weak and the transpiration consumption of water and liquid is insufficient, excess water will accumulate in the body, resulting in fat tongue. The tongue is fat, and teeth marks appear when it is squeezed by teeth. Fat tongue is a typical tongue image of yang deficiency. 5. The pulse condition is heavy and weak, and the yang is insufficient, so the pulse condition is heavy and weak. 6, yang deficiency constitution is also common nocturia, enuresis, urine innocent. Nocturnal urine in the elderly is mostly normal aging of yang. If children wet the bed, middle-aged people and young people often urinate at night, it is yang deficiency. Attention should be paid not to eat more cold and frozen food, and to use antibiotics and traditional Chinese medicine for clearing away heat and toxic materials as little as possible to protect yang. 7. Yang deficiency constitution is mainly related to the relative deficiency of kidney yang. Kidney controls reproduction, bone and lower jiao, and less ascites transpiration. Therefore, the constitution of yang deficiency will appear early sexual desire loss, sexual apathy or heel, waist and leg pain, easy swelling of lower limbs and so on. 8. Female yang deficiency can cause uterine cold and dysmenorrhea, small menstrual flow, amenorrhea, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian cysts and other diseases, resulting in infertility, or miscarriage and premature delivery. 9, female yang deficiency will also appear cold, leucorrhea, clear and transparent, especially when cold or fatigue. 10, male yang deficiency common symptoms such as decreased libido, impotence, premature ejaculation, spermatorrhea and prostatitis. 1 1, people with yang deficiency constitution often have sparse hair, dark circles and dark lips. Because the kidney dominates the bone and produces marrow, its flower is in the hair. Kidney stores essence, essence produces blood, and blood raises hair. 12, Yang deficiency, usually appear alopecia, tinnitus, easy to wake up MUBI, fear of the night and other symptoms. 13, calm, depressed, and people with qi deficiency and blood deficiency are prone to depression 14, yang deficiency constitution is prone to obesity (puffiness and weakness), osteoporosis and arthralgia. 15, edema, edema, hydrops, rheumatism, rheumatoid. In addition, kidney-yang deficiency usually drags down the yang of the spleen and stomach and leads to spleen-kidney yang deficiency, that is, the yang of the spleen and kidney is insufficient, and the hearing of the ear, the side of the ear and the lips will all reflect the spleen. However, deficiency of spleen and kidney yang will cause problems such as loss of appetite, indigestion, abdominal pain and emaciation. There is also a special and common manifestation of yang deficiency constitution: upper heat and lower cold are also called upper scorching fire and lower scorching cold. This is because the yang in the lower jiao (kidney) is weak, the foundation is not firm, and the deficiency of yang floats up, resulting in yang deficiency and yin excess below the abdomen, such as polyuria, nocturia, bad stool, cold pain in the waist and legs, and thin leucorrhea; The five senses are common with toothache, sore throat, halitosis, reddish nose, acne and dry eyes. This symptom should belong to the fact that the cold in the lower energizer is true and the heat in the upper energizer is false. Therefore, such people can't take drugs such as clearing away heat and toxic materials. With the increase of age, the constitution of yang deficiency often appears as follows: yang deficiency with blood stasis, yang deficiency with phlegm and dampness. This is easy to understand, yang deficiency, lack of heat and power, blood vessels are not smooth, and blood stasis gradually grows over time; Lack of transpiration and gasification of water, unsmooth rivers, and gradual accumulation of phlegm and dampness for a long time have many reasons for yang deficiency constitution, among which the following are the most common: 1, parents' body yang deficiency, yin deficiency and cold yang deficiency, and intrauterine pregnancy is affected by cold and cold. 2, often use antibiotics, hormones, diuretics, heat and detoxification and other drugs. 3, long-term poor clothing, external invasion by cold evil. 4, long-term wage life in a cold environment. 5, unreasonable diet, eating too much cold food. 6, too much sex, frequent sexual life, excessive consumption of Yuanyang. The principle of yang deficiency constitution health preservation: not hurting or consuming yang, warming water and dampness, and smoothing qi and blood. When there is no obvious bias in the constitution of yang deficiency, it is enough not to hurt or damage the yang. Diet and health: keep your limbs warm, avoid eating cold, eat more warm food, eat less or not eat cold or frozen products. Such as cold drinks and fresh coconut milk; Banana, fruit, citrus, grapefruit, melon, pear, bitter gourd, cucumber, loofah, persimmon, loquat, pitaya, water chestnut, sugarcane, celery, bamboo shoots, green tea, kelp, mung bean, laver, shrimp and crab, river snail, duck meat, donkey meat and so on. Second, women with yang deficiency, qi deficiency and phlegm dampness are not easy to eat too much fruit, which will affect the function of the spleen and stomach, not only not good for the skin, but will hurt the spleen and stomach. Third, reduce the intake of salt. A salty diet with yang deficiency can easily cause obesity, swelling, dysuria and hypertension. Fourth, people with yang deficiency should pay attention to keep warm, especially the lower body, not just for beauty but not for health (so-called beautiful frozen people), blow less air conditioners, and it is not easy to work and live in cold and cold places.
