What are the symptoms of Yin deficiency constitution

In daily life, some people have Yin deficiency constitution. Those who don’t know much about it think that everyone has the same constitution, so what’s the difference? The difference is huge. Traditional Chinese medicine divides human constitution into 9 types. Different constitutions have different conditioning methods and different symptoms. So what are the manifestations of Yin deficiency constitution? Not only are the manifestations different, but the symptoms are also different. I will introduce them to you in this article.

(1) Characteristics of Yin deficiency constitution

What are the symptoms of people with Yin deficiency? Thin body, flushed face, dry mouth and throat, irritability, hot hands and feet, lack of sleep, dry stool, yellow urine, intolerance to spring and summer, preference for cold drinks, thin and rapid pulse, and red tongue with little coating. If you are ill, the above symptoms will be more obvious, or accompanied by dry cough with little sputum, hot flashes and night sweats (lung yin deficiency); or palpitations, forgetfulness, insomnia and nightmares (heart yin deficiency); or back pain, dizziness, tinnitus, spermatorrhea in men and scanty menstruation in women (kidney yin deficiency); or pain in the ribs and blurred vision (liver yin deficiency).

(2) Principles of health preservation for people with Yin deficiency

Tonify Yin and clear away heat, nourish the liver and kidneys. The key to those with Yin deficiency is to nourish Yin. Among the five internal organs, the liver stores blood and the kidneys store essence, and they are located in the lower part of the body. Therefore, nourishing the liver and kidneys is the key.

(3) Health preservation methods for people with Yin deficiency

Mental care: People with Yin deficiency constitution have a more impatient temperament and are often upset and easily angered. This is because Yin deficiency leads to excessive fire, which disturbs the mind. Therefore, they should follow the spirit-nourishing method of "tranquility and emptiness" and "keeping the spirit within" in the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic". In daily work, avoid arguing with others over non-principle issues to reduce anger, and avoid participating in entertainment activities that involve competing for victory or defeat.

Environmental adjustment: People with Yin deficiency are mostly thin, and thin people have more fire, often have hot hands and feet, dry mouth and throat, are afraid of heat and like coolness, can easily get through the cold winter, and feel uncomfortable in the hot summer, so they should pay attention to avoiding the heat in the hot summer.

Diet adjustment: You should preserve Yin and suppress Yang, eat light food, and stay away from fatty, greasy, and dry foods. You can eat more light foods such as sesame, glutinous rice, honey, dairy products, sugarcane, fish, etc., and eat less spicy foods such as onions, ginger, garlic, leeks, shallots, and peppers.

Moderate sexual desire: Because semen belongs to Yin, dogs with Yin deficiency should protect Yin, and excessive sexual life can damage semen, so dogs should moderate their sexual life.

Drug treatment: Those with lung yin deficiency should take Baihe Gujin Decoction; those with heart yin deficiency should take Tianwang Buxin Pills; those with kidney yin deficiency should take Liuwei Dihuang Pills; those with liver yin deficiency should take Yi Guan Jian; other Chinese medicines that nourish yin and promote body fluid production, such as Ligustrum lucidum, Cornus officinalis, and Eclipta prostrata, can also be used.

From the above, we know the symptoms of people with Yin deficiency. I believe you can better improve the symptoms of Yin deficiency by regulating your body.
