How to supplement Yang deficiency with food, the right medicine will have a good effect

People with yang deficiency often show symptoms of fatigue and abnormal fitness. If you want to improve the condition through food supplements, you can eat more chicken, mutton, dog meat, venison, pigeon meat, leeks, etc. For example, cook some mutton porridge or leek porridge regularly and take it regularly, the effect will be very good.

The clinical manifestations of Yang deficiency are: fear of cold, cold limbs, bland mouth without thirst or thirst with preference for hot drinks, spontaneous sweating, pale complexion, loss of appetite, weak wheezing, diarrhea at dawn or watery stools, clear and long urine, impotence, premature ejaculation, sore waist and weak legs, pale tongue with white coating, deep, thin and weak pulse. Some people will have stomach bloating or diarrhea after eating raw and cold food. A series of deficiency of Yang Qi in the body causes the body to lose warmth, which in turn reduces the functions of transpiration and gasification, resulting in symptoms of deficiency and cold.

Yang-tonifying foods include chicken, mutton, dog meat, venison, pigeon meat, leek, etc.; yang-tonifying medicines include deer antler, Morinda officinalis, Psoralea corylifolia, seahorse, Cordyceps sinensis, Gecko, walnut, Alpinia oxyphylla, Eucommia ulmoides, etc.

Generally, take 1-3 grams each time, grind into fine powder and swallow, or cut into slices and stew in water. It can also be made into pills or powders, but not directly into decoctions. It is advisable to start with a small dose and increase the dosage slowly. It is not advisable to use a large amount suddenly to avoid the rise of yang fire or injury to yin and bleeding. It should not be taken if you have exogenous febrile disease, yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity.

Someone asked, can Cordyceps sinensis replenish yang?

Therefore, it should be noted that people with yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire should not use Cordyceps sinensis alone. The general dosage is 3-10 grams, preferably decocted into soup or stewed.

People with yang deficiency can cook some mutton porridge or leek porridge and take it regularly, which has a very good effect.
