Introduction: The so-called yin deficiency means that the vitality of the body "Yin" is hurt. In daily life, there are many behaviors that hurt yin, for example, eating spicy food, eating barbecue, eating cold food and so on.

Yin and Yang is a very important concept in Chinese medicine culture, which is the basis of many Chinese medicine theories.

On the surface, our abdomen is yin and our back is yang. Our 12 meridians are also divided into yin and yang.

According to the theory of Qi-flowing, Yin and Yang refer to two modes of vitality in human body. Under normal circumstances, these two kinds of vitality are in a state of balance.

therefore, whether it is yin deficiency or yang deficiency, there is something wrong with our health.

Anyone who knows a little about health care knowledge is certainly familiar with the words yin deficiency and fire flourishing.

according to Chinese medicine, people are divided into nine constitutions, and yin deficiency constitution is one of them.

yin deficiency generates internal heat, and the more deficiency of yin qi, the more intense internal heat. Over time, the situation of yin deficiency will occur.

Yin deficiency means that the body's yin qi is insufficient, and the yin can't control the yang, so the body will be in a sub-healthy situation.

what are the physical manifestations, indicating that it belongs to the constitution of yin deficiency and fire flourishing?

1. The balance of Yin and Yang in the body will directly reflect on sleep.

People with yin deficiency and excessive fire generally have poor sleep, poor sleep quality, easy to lose sleep, easy to wake up, prone to night sweats, wake up early, wake up in the early morning, and then find it difficult to fall asleep.

and it is easy to wake up with thirst in the middle of the night, and after waking up, you will feel dry and bitter.

2. The fire in the body is strong, and the palms and soles of feet will be reflected.

People with yin deficiency and strong fire will have higher temperatures in palms and soles, and they often feel hot in palms and soles.

The palms, in particular, are not only feverish, but also red, abnormally red, like congestion.

3. Urine and stool are metabolites of human body, which can reflect the constitution of human body.

People with yin deficiency and excessive fire are prone to constipation, and their stools are dry and hard.

The urine is often yellow, with less urine and occasional burning sensation when urinating.

4. People with yin deficiency have bad skin

From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, yin deficiency is because kidney water can't extinguish heart fire, and insufficient kidney water will lead to dry skin.

The lips will be unusually dry, thirsty easily, and the corners of the mouth will be prone to sores, and the whole person's complexion will not look very good.

5. People with yin deficiency and excessive fire are most likely to have the phenomenon of "five upset and hot"

Specifically, they have a bad temper, and are easy to get angry and impatient.

For people with yin deficiency, the "body fluid" mentioned in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine will be reduced, the nutrients in the body will be insufficient, fatigue will easily occur on weekdays, and physical strength will also decline.

Because of the internal heat, people with yin deficiency and vigorous fire often like to eat cold food, drink cold drinks and eat spicy food.

if you have these performances, it means you need to recuperate. Then, why is the perineum deficient in fire?

In fact, the so-called yin deficiency means that the vitality of the body "Yin" is injured, and there will be many behaviors that hurt Yin in daily life, such as eating spicy food, eating barbecue, eating cold food and so on.

But what really hurts most is the mental exhaustion.

and this kind of loss is mainly reflected in the long-term pressure of life and the unrestrained "staying up late".

so, how does staying up late hurt yin?

as we all know, when people lie down, blood will return to the liver, and when we lie in bed, blood will return to the liver.

after 11 pm, the body begins to purify blood and the liver begins to detoxify. If you don't sleep at this time, the blood can't return to the liver and the liver can't get a good rest.

toxins will accumulate and liver yin will be damaged.

The kidney is the mother of the liver. When the liver is damaged and cannot be nourished in time, the body will mobilize the kidney essence to supplement it. If this happens for a long time, the situation of kidney deficiency will appear.

However, the kidney governs the yin fluid, and once the kidney essence is injured, the body yin deficiency is inevitable.

The liver is the mother of the heart. Once the liver yin is damaged, it is not enough to nourish the blood of the heart. At this time, various cardiovascular diseases will appear, which will even lead to heart disease and hypertension.

For people with yin deficiency, the diet should be light

Stay away from spicy food and fatty food.

You should eat more light foods such as honey, sugar cane, sesame and fish, and you can also eat more foods such as red dates, lilies and medlar to clear your heart and soothe your nerves.

Chinese medicine believes that sweet and sour can turn yin, so fruits with sour taste, such as pomegranate and grapes, can nourish yin.

Watermelon, towel gourd, bitter gourd, cucumber, etc. are all cold fruits, which are also very suitable for people with yin deficiency and flourishing fire.

however, it should be noted that you should not eat too much of this cold food, otherwise it will damage the spleen and stomach, and the loss will outweigh the gain.

People with yin deficiency and excessive fire should drink more porridge

Lily and rice porridge, and make porridge with lily, rice and rock sugar. Drinking a bowl every day can improve sleep, eliminate troubles and remove internal fire.

longan and jujube porridge, boiled with longan meat, jujube and japonica rice, can replenish blood and soothe the nerves, strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach, dispel fire and soothe the nerves, and help to improve yin deficiency.

There is also asparagus porridge. When asparagus and rice are boiled together, when they are soft and waxy, add some salt to taste, and drink a bowl every morning, which has a good effect on regulating yin deficiency.

Don't stay up late, don't be too greedy, don't be too lazy, and exercise moderately.

Pay attention to adjusting your mood, smile more, listen to some soothing music, and avoid getting angry.

The situation of hyperactivity of fire due to yin deficiency will be gradually improved if you have a regular daily life, a peaceful mind, a moderate diet, moderate exercise, a healthy lifestyle and a gradual balance between yin and yang in your body.
