I believe many people know about kidney deficiency, and they all know that kidney deficiency can be divided into kidney yin deficiency, kidney yang deficiency, and both yin and yang deficiency. But what you don’t know is that there are very few people with simple kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency. Most of the time, when they know that kidney deficiency is due to kidney deficiency, it has evolved into yin and yang deficiency
Yin and yang deficiency is a term used in syndrome differentiation in traditional Chinese medicine. It means both yin deficiency and yang deficiency. Its main manifestations are: being afraid of cold and Afraid of heat, especially cold in winter and hot in summer. This is a constitution characterized by an imbalance of yin and yang or a deficiency of both yin and yang.
Deficiency of yin and yang is caused by various reasons such as weak endowment, acquired malnutrition, external and internal injuries, etc. The main symptoms are the decline of organ function, loss of yin and yang, and long-term deficiency. Its main causes and pathogenesis mainly include five aspects: weak endowment, improper diet, overwork, serious and long-term illness, mistreatment and failure of treatment. The above various causes are either due to deficiency, fatigue due to illness, or illness. Caused by deficiency, long-term deficiency no longer produces fatigue; or prolonged yin deficiency affects yang, resulting in both yin and yang being deficient, making the condition more complicated.
People with yin deficiency suffer from body fluid deficiency, which is mainly manifested as "heat" syndrome. Symptoms include dry mouth and tongue, red cheeks, five upset stomachs, night sweats, red tongue, less fluid, and thready pulse; Yang deficiency The main manifestations of the disease are "cold" syndrome, which is characterized by pale complexion, fatigue and sleepiness, cold body and cold limbs, bowel sounds and diarrhea, pale and fat tongue with teeth marks, and deep and thready pulse. Those with yin and yang deficiency have the above symptoms mixed with each other.
