What causes Yin deficiency and damp heat?

1. Feeling of external evil

It is mainly caused by dampness and heat. my country is located in the northern hemisphere. At the turn of summer and autumn, the heat has not yet ended, water and humidity are rampant, and the heat and humidity are at their peak, invading the human body and causing illness. In the southeastern coastal areas, humidity is heavy all year round, especially from March to May each year, commonly known as the "plum rainy days". The weather is getting hotter and the heat is getting more severe, which combines with humidity to make it more likely to cause damp-heat problems. Other external evils of the Six Evils, such as exogenous wind-heat, can also cause dampness-heat when the spleen is weak and dysfunctional and there is internal dampness. Just as Xue Shengbai said, "When the Taiyang meridian is injured internally, dampness and fluid accumulate, and external evils are introduced again, the internal and external factors attract each other, so the disease becomes damp-heat." At the same time, external evils invade the lungs, causing chest tightness and cough, and abnormal qi movement. It can also damage the spleen and stomach, causing dampness to be generated internally, which becomes depressed and turns into heat, forming damp-heat.

2. Improper diet

A preference for fatty, sweet and greasy food will cause dampness and heat; a fondness for alcohol, overeating, overeating fatty, sweet and greasy food, unclean food, and irregular eating can easily damage the spleen and stomach, causing food stagnation, dampness obstruction, and qi stagnation, which can all turn into heat over time. The nature of alcohol itself is "hot in qi and damp in substance". Qi stagnation is also an important factor in the accumulation of water and dampness. Fatty, sweet and greasy foods have the characteristics of generating dampness and promoting heat. It can be seen that many factors of improper diet can become the cause of damp-heat accumulation.

3. Impaired spleen and stomach

Dampness is generated endogenously and turns into heat. The spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation, and is the hub of the circulation of water and moisture. Damage to the spleen and stomach due to various reasons can lead to dysfunction of its transportation and transformation functions and retention of water and moisture inside the body. Dampness will turn into heat over time and cause symptoms of damp-heat.

4. Emotional factors

"The spleen is responsible for thinking" and "thinking causes qi stagnation." Zhang Jingyue once said: "But thinking hard and unable to let go will damage the spleen." Excessive thinking and poor emotional state will affect the liver's function of dispersing and regulating qi. Normal dispersing and regulating qi of the liver is an important condition for the spleen to rise and the stomach to descend and coordinate the healthy functioning of the spleen, that is, "earth gets the wood to reach it." The liver fails to release qi and cannot regulate qi, the spleen rises and the stomach descends out of balance, the spleen fails to function properly and produces dampness, the dampness turns into heat, and dampness-heat is formed, causing dampness-heat in the liver and gallbladder or dampness-heat in the spleen and stomach.
