The main symptoms of Yang deficiency are aversion to cold, physical fatigue, edema, excessive urination, loose stools, introversion, disinterest in things, decline in sexual function, etc.; the main symptoms of Yin deficiency are Symptoms include hot flashes in the body, heat in the limbs, irritability and insomnia, dry mouth and tongue, easy dizziness, dry stool, bad temper, etc.
The above two groups of symptoms seem to be opposite, but some people will have them at the same time. For example, some people are afraid of both heat and cold. They are uncomfortable eating cold food, eating spicy food and are also uncomfortable. Sometimes they experience coldness. Sometimes there will be symptoms of internal heat. For these situations, it can be called "deficiency of yin and yang".
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, yin and yang are not absolutely separate. They sometimes influence each other, feed on each other, and feed off each other, which leads to complex and changeable symptoms in some people's bodies. , or exist at the same time, but the body will have more yin deficiency and more yang deficiency at a certain point in time. Of course, it will also cause some trouble and interference for doctors to use syndrome differentiation and clinical medication. It is necessary to differentiate the syndrome first and use medicine accurately to achieve good curative effect.
My personal experience is that when there is a deficiency of yin and yang, the medication must be relatively gentle, not too cold, not too warm and dry, which will cause internal heat. It needs to be weighed, and daily health habits must also pay attention to the golden mean. , subject to peace, regular work and rest habits, regular three meals a day, a combination of fish, eggs, meat, vegetables and whole grains, and maintaining adequate sleep. These are the most basic rules for regulating yin and yang. Doing these will make yin and yang harmonious, and yin and yang deficiency will be eliminated. can be improved to a certain extent.
