Hello, I'm glad to answer your question.What are the symptoms of Yang Qi deficiency? I think most people would think that yang qi is heat, and the so-called deficiency is the lack of body heat, which is mainly manifested in the symptom of the body's fear of cold and fear of cold. In fact, yang qi deficiency is not such a simple disease evidence, first of all, to figure out the three aspects of the problem.

① What is Yang Qi?

② What are the causes of Yang deficiency?

(iii) What are the symptoms of Yang deficiency?

Understanding the normal function of Yang Qi and what causes it to be deficient is the only way to properly analyze the symptoms of Yang Qi deficiency.

I. What is Yang Qi

The term "yang qi" is used in Chinese medicine, and the opposite of yang qi is yin blood. Chinese medicine believes that yang qi and yin blood are necessary for the formation of life, for example, the union of sperm and egg between parents represents the cohesion of yang qi and yin blood, and the life form is born as a result.

Yin and Yang Intercourse, Fetal Conception is Formed--Yuan Zhu Danxi

Yang qi refers to the functional embodiment of human life activities, and yin blood refers to the material basis of human life activities, the two are fundamental to each other, nourishing each other, yang qi in the form of energy to express, to promote the internal organs to achieve their physiological functions, to generate qi, blood and fluid; qi, blood and fluid as the material basis for the yang qi to provide a source of power. Yang qi, yin and blood in the dynamic to achieve relative balance, to achieve the stimulation and maintenance of the body's internal organs, the production of qi, blood and fluids of the embodiment of the function of life. Chinese medicine categorizes the body's mental state, physiological activities (including heartbeat, gastrointestinal motility, immune function, etc.) in the function of yang qi. Yang qi plays a dominant role in the human body, and its external movement is reflected in mental awareness and protection from external evils such as wind and cold. The internal movement forms the power to stimulate the functions of the internal organs and to promote qi and blood to nourish the sinews, veins, skin and bones. As we age, we are affected by a variety of external pathogenic factors, and yang qi is easily consumed and appears to be insufficient.

Yang qi is the essence that nourishes the spirit, and the softness that nourishes the tendons - Suwen - Anger and Tongtian Lun

1. The specific classification and physiological function of Yang Qi

According to the different physiological functions and forms of movement of yang qi, it can be divided into yuan qi, zong qi, ying qi and wei qi.

①Elementary energy

Yuan Qi is the origin of life, Chinese medicine is considered to be innate endowment and innate gas, with the role of promoting the development of the human body, promote the generation of internal organs and meridians. Hidden in the "numerator of the sexagenary cycle", most medical practitioners, based on the theories of the "Difficult Classic", believe that the Vital Gate exists in the right kidney. Yuan qi starts at the Vital Gate and travels around the San Jiao, while exerting its physiological effects.

Yuan Qi, the foundation of the five viscera and six bowels, the root of the twelve meridians, the door of respiration, and the origin of the San Jiao - The Book of Difficulties

The vital energy exists in the right kidney.Kidney is the house of water and fire, the left kidney hides yin, the right kidney hides yang, and yang qi in the kidney can be substituted for yuan qi.Yuan qi is equivalent to modern medicine, genetic inheritance, by the innate influence factors, Chinese medicine believes that the strength of the endowment of the Yuan qi, on the latter's physique, development, and even life expectancy has a dominant position. For example, the innate vital energy is sufficient, the body is mostly peaceful, seldom sick, maintenance and proper care, more can get a long life.

Yuan Qi. It is invisible to the eye, not to be sought, attached to the qi and blood, and slaughtered by the qi and blood first. When it takes shape, there is already a fixed number - The Origin and Flow of Medicine

If there is a lack of innate vital energy, it is mostly manifested asChildren's developmental delay, fontanel late closure, pediatric enuresis, etc.; adults with insufficient vital energy can be manifested as weak and sickly, urinary frequency and enuresis, chronic coughing and asthma, female menstrual disorders.

②Zongqi

Zongqi is the extension of the operation of Yuanqi to the chest, which is the qi that accumulates in the chest as a result of the combination of acquired breathing of nature's clear qi and Yuanqi, relying on the constant nourishment of qi, blood, and essence from the spleen and stomach, and serving to help the lungs to lift and breathe, and to help the heart to beat the blood veins.

Zongqi accumulates in the chest, comes out of the throat, travels up the respiratory tract, and breathes - Huang Di Nei Jing (Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine)

Zongqi has the function of helping the heart and lungs to realize respiration and heartbeat, and ancient healers called ZongqiThe atmosphere in the chest, which is considered to be high up in the upper part, is closely related to the lungs respiration and the heart to promote blood circulation, and has an important physiological function.

The five viscera and six bowels, the large meridians and small channels, circulating day and night, must rely on the atmosphere in the chest, mediating between them - The Law of Medical Doctors

当When Zongqi is insufficient, patients often show shortness of breath and weakness, palpitation and chest tightness, and in severe cases, Zongqi may sink, sweating profusely, and gasping to escape. Zhang Xichun, a medical doctor, believes that Zongqi is the atmosphere in the chest, and based on this viewpoint, he has formulated the rule of treatment of lifting the atmosphere.

Atmosphere, the original Yuan Qi as the root, to the water and grain gas as nourishment, to the chest for the house of the grotto also. Division of the pivot of the breath, this gas is weak, the breath that is unfavorable, the gas is weak and trapped, or sunken too far, the person is breathing stops--Medicine Zhongzhong Ganshi Lu (《医学衷中参西录》)

③ Ying Qi and Wei Qi

The two are often relative, Ying Qi is produced by the spleen and stomach transport process of gas, the spleen and stomach digestion of food and water, the clear part of the rise, turbid part of the decline, the clear gas in the subtle and soft gas, running in the bloodstream, can help the blood to generate is called "Ying Qi";

The source of Wei Qi mainly relies on the yang qi of the lower jiao. Lower burner of the kidney and bladder belong to the water organs, "Neijing" said: "the bladder, the state of the official, fluid hidden gas can be out of the gas," meaning that the kidney in the yang qi transpiration gasification of the bladder fluid, water and fire steam, yang qi soaring, this part of the bottom up the triple jiao upward, to the middle jiao, by the spleen and stomach transported by the essence of the material to continue to nourish the operation of the plagiarism! Slippery, to the upper jiao, the lung qi declared and purged scattered around the body, regulating the opening and closing of the pores, control sweat secretion.

The upper jiao develops, pronounces the flavors of the five grains, smokes the skin and fills the body, zephyrs the hairs, and irrigates like mist and dew - Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine)

Another part of the bladder meridian running around the body, bladder meridian from the eyes through the head to the foot, walking in the whole body. Play a defense of the human body, to prevent the invasion of foreign evil, Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" mentioned in the "sun disease", probably is the surface of the body guard qi evil disease, the sun meridian is the bladder meridian.

Ying comes out of the middle jiao, Wei comes out of the lower jiao - Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine)

Ying Qi line in the bloodstream, Wei Qi running outside the bloodstream, Ying Qi chemical blood nutrition of the whole body, Wei Qi has to protect the body from wind and cold and other external evils, regulating the role of the pores open and close the gas, called "Wei Qi".

Grain enters the stomach to be transmitted to the lungs, and the five viscera and six bowels are subjected to qi, and the clear ones are Ying and the turbid ones are Wei, which are in the veins and outside the veins - Huang Di Nei Jing (Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine)

当Weakness of the spleen and stomach often leads to insufficient Ying Qi, insufficient Ying Qi will appear to reduce the production of blood, triggering palpitations and dizziness, yellowish color and other blood deficiency; when the kidney yang insufficiency can't qi and liquids or the spleen and stomach can't nourish the Wei Qi or the lung yang insufficiency can't diffuse the Wei Qi, can lead to Wei Qi insufficiency, lose the warmth and nourish the skin and muscles and protect the human body's role, it will be the pore opening and closing unfavorable, sweating, cold, cold and so on, pay attention! As the generation and function of Wei Qi cannot be separated from the lungs, spleen and kidneys, clinically. It is important to identify which organ has a disorder resulting in insufficient Wei Qi, and to recognize the evidence is the king of treatment.

If the yin and yang of Ying and Wei inside and outside the blood vessels are not in harmony, there will be weakness of Ying Qi, leakage of fluids and blood, Wei Qi being subjected to evil, and opening of the pores leading to self-sweating, headache, and fear of cold.

Wei qi, so warm the flesh, fill the skin, fertilize the coupling, the Division of opening and closing also - Huangdi Neijing

2. The role of Yang Qi is reflected

(1) Warming and vaporizing effects

Yang Qi has the characteristic of warmth, like the sun in the sky, the sun shines on the earth, boosting the growth and development of all things. The human body's yang qi has the role of warm twilight inside and outside, the human skin temperature and cold resistance are the role of yang qi embodiment, so, Chinese medicine believes that yang qi has the role of warm internal organs, meridians, limbs, muscles and bones, flesh and hair. The so-called "yang qi popular, nowhere".

Yang Qi to lift the form of movement in and out of the body to promote metabolism, such as dietary changes into gas, blood and essence, dregs of the Shunyi discharged from the body, hot weather, the human body through sweating heat dissipation, etc. are gasification effect, the "Classic of Internal Medicine", said: "the days of summer clothing is thick, the coupling is open, so sweating," coupling is to refer to the pores, sweating is the yang qi gasification effect of the The couper refers to the pores, and sweating is the embodiment of yang qi vaporization.

Yang qi is like the sky and the sun, if you lose it, you will lose your life and not be able to realize it - Su Wen - Anger and Tong Tian Lun

Insufficient yang qi, decreased warming function can occur around the body afraid of cold, hands and feet are not warm: yang qi can not warm blood, often appear tongue pale with ecchymosis, pulse astringency; yang qi can not warm body fluids, stagnation of fluids to form the water drink disease, the treatment of the choice of warming drugs to help yang qi to enhance yang qi, warming the water drink.

When a person is sick with phlegm and drink, warm herbs should be used to harmonize it - The Essentials of the Golden Possession

②Promotion and stimulation

This role is mainly through the yang classification in the yuan qi to realize, innate endowment of the yuan qi is sufficient, the human body viscera and meridians development is normal, the reproductive function is perfect, qi and blood is sufficient. Spirit, color, physique is better, and the physique is calm. Due to the lack of innate endowment of vital energy, there are often developmental delays, lower intelligence. Because of the excessive consumption of the acquired, such as drinking and staying up late, overwork, emotional ups and downs are bound to consume the human body vital energy, it will occur early gray hair, visceral functions decline, such as spleen and kidney deficiency, diarrhea and loose stools, lumbar pain and leg weakness, fatigue and spirit, frequent urination in males, women's menstrual disorders, and so on.

(iii) Defense role

Chinese medicine believes that yang qi has the role of protecting the human body, equivalent to modern medicine's immune defense, mainly through the Wei qi to achieve its defensive role, Chinese medicine will be the natural world's overpowering climate or non-timing incorrect qi as the external evil, wind, cold, summer, humidity, dryness and fire as a common disease-causing evils, the human body's bloodstream outside of the skin and flesh between the operation of the body's defense of the gas-wei qi, wei qi is the external manifestation of the yang qi, has the ability to defend the human body from external evils, while regulating the skin temperature can control the opening and closing of pores. Wei Qi is an external manifestation of Yang Qi, which has the ability to protect the human body from external evils, while regulating the temperature of the skin and controlling the opening and closing of the pores.

Yang is the guardian of the outside world and is solid - Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine

To summarize, yang qi is the driving force behind the body's vital activities, and its different manifestations are divided into yuan qi, zong qi, ying qi, and wei qi, which make up the physiology of traditional Chinese medicine, and then we'll talk about the causes of the occurrence of yang qi insufficiency.

II. Causes of Yang deficiency

★Innate deficiencies, old age and prolonged illness, overwork injuring yang

Innate endowment is insufficient, mostly seen in the newborn or children with hereditary diseases, innate Yang Qi decline, children's immune function is often reduced, prone to various diseases or innate formation of yang deficiency, even if there is no disease, more than the performance of the body is weak and afraid of the cold, urinary frequency diarrhea, mental instability. With the growth of age, into the old age stage of the human body's internal organs function is bound to decline, this is the yang gas with age and consumption of the embodiment of Chinese medicine that the heart and kidney yang qi for a body of yang qi fundamental, when the human body enters the old age stage, the yang qi can not promote the stimulation of the function of the internal organs, so the elderly more degenerative diseases as the main manifestations of the heart, for example, cardiac insufficiency, prostatitis, dementia, and so on.

People with poor physical foundation and more chronic diseases also have their yang energy depleted, and their ability to resist and recover from diseases is reduced. The yang energy in the kidneys is depleted by diseases, which often leads to recurring and lingering illnesses. Zhang Jingyue believes thatThere is some truth in the saying that "when the five organs are injured, the poor must be affected by the kidneys."

Carrying too much weight, thinking too much, excessive sexual intercourse is a manifestation of overwork, overwork is easy to lead to the depletion of Yang Qi and insufficient.

Labor depletes qi - Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine

★ Feeling cold and damaging yang energy

Cold is a yin evil, and the Nei Jing says, "When yin is prevalent, yang is sick."Cold is too strong and can easily damage yang qi. For example, if you are cold in the rain or live in a cold and wet room for a long period of time, it is very easy for cold to damage the wei qi of the muscle surface, and when the wei qi is damaged, the yang qi of the human body will decline, resulting in a deficiency of yang qi. Eating too much cold food can easily damage the yang qi of the spleen and stomach, resulting in deficiency of yang qi in the spleen and stomach.

If Yang is deficient, there will be external cold, and cold will injure Yang - Jingyue Quanshu

Cold damages yang qi and yang deficiency is susceptible to cold, and the two affect each other.

Third, what are the symptoms of Yang Qi deficiency?

Yang deficiency, also known as yang deficiency, belongs to the category of symptoms in Chinese medicine. It is worth noting that the evidence of yang qi deficiency is not the concept of a certain disease, on the contrary, yang qi deficiency can cause a variety of diseases. In Chinese medicine theory, there is a broad and narrow sense of Yang deficiency, the broad sense of Yang deficiency refers to the whole body's Yang Qi decline, the loss of warmth to stimulate the body's role in functional activities, thus showing theSymptoms such as mental depression, weakness, and lack of warmth in the hands and feet; yang deficiency in the narrow sense of the wordIt refers to the specific organs of the human body that have a deficiency of yang qi, and reacts with corresponding clinical manifestations, such asHeart yang qi insufficiency, can not warm through the blood thus palpitations chest tightness, shortness of breath and anxiety, can not warm the body, the cold limbs; kidney yang qi insufficiency, can not warm the waist and kidneys, due to the "waist for the kidney of the house", and the emergence of lumbar and knee soreness, urinary frequency and urinary leakage.

Because the thinking of Chinese medicine is the whole concept, the human body as an organic whole, an internal organs of Yang deficiency can affect the whole body, with "a pull to start the whole body" characteristics.

The basic pathogenesis of Yang deficiency is:

Where there is a deficiency of yang, yin will naturally flourish - Zheng Qin'an, "The True Biography of Medical Science

Symptoms of Yang deficiency:

★Systemic symptoms: coldness, hands and feet are not warm, slow reaction, lack of spirit, less breath and lazy speech, tiredness and fatigue, pale, yang qi to promote the role of the decline in constipation, yang qi warming ability to decline diarrhea, the specifics of the case should be analyzed. Zhang Zhongjing that yang qi does not nourish the spirit, can not warm the blood, there can be "pulse fine, but want to sleep", like sleep, not sleep, hazy state.

When yang qi insufficiency, weak yang qi is easy to float in the upper jiao or the body surface, can show hot flashes, eyes uncomfortable, red face and head swelling, dry mouth and other manifestations, do not be mistaken for yin deficiency and fire, at this time the pulse is very critical, if the pulse number has a subtle manifestation, and the mouth dry and do not want to drink water, we must be cautious of yang qi insufficiency of the false impression.

★ Symptoms of Yang deficiency in each organ

①Insufficient yang energy in the heart

The heart is the master of the blood, for the five viscera and six bowels of the main, yang qi deficiency can not invigorate the heart, warm through the blood, palpitations and chest tightness, panic and shortness of breath, hands and feet are not warm, the tongue is pale or purple, pulse is fine or late.

② Insufficient yang energy in the kidneys

Insufficient kidney yang, unable to gasify and promote, soreness and weakness of waist and knees, frequent urination, loss of memory, swelling and cold, pale tongue with slippery moss and thin pulse. Insufficient kidney yang and loss of vital energy will lead to aging, premature graying of hair, tinnitus and deafness, dizziness and insomnia.

③ Deficiency of spleen yang qi

Deficiency of spleen yang, loss of agonistic power, weak spleen and stomach unable to transport and transform water and grains, abdominal distension, stomach pain with little food, aggravated by cold, lack of warmth in the hands and feet, yang qi unable to propel qi and liquids, cold and dampness manifestations, sticky stools, drowsiness all around the body, confusion, phlegm in the throat, pale tongue with thin or greasy moss, and moistened and slow pulse. Deficiency of spleen yang qi leads to weakness of ying qi, inability to change qi and blood, weakness, dizziness, palpitation, insomnia and other manifestations of qi and blood deficiency.

④ Lung Yang Qi deficiency

Lung yang qi insufficiency, chest zong qi is also insufficient, can not be declared and purged, can not master qi division breathing, coughing and wheezing, dyspnea, cold hands and feet, pale tongue, thin moss, pulse is slow and astringent.

IV. Diseases easily triggered by insufficient yang qi

Yang deficiency is a systemic problem that can cause a variety of chronic diseases, of course, this requires the identification of Chinese medicine, respectively, if the core manifestations of Yang deficiency talked about before, basically can be a good judge of the existence of Yang deficiency. Note that the following diseases can be caused by yang qi insufficiency or by other causes, clinically, they should be recognized.

Common diseases are:

Chronic cardiac insufficiency

Chronic cardiac insufficiency in the elderly is mostly caused by a deficiency of yang qi, which has lost its ability to qi and promote, manifesting itself in the form ofPalpitation and chest tightness, swelling and fear of cold, especially fear of cold, cold hands and feet performance, frequent urination and lumbar acidity, abdominal distension and heart stifling, yang qi can not promote the blood, the appearance of lips and lips bruises, most of this situation is related to the heart and kidney yang qi insufficiency, pay attention to the identification of the evidence, to be differentiated, and the treatment of the evidence.

Rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis

This kind of disease is called "paralysis" in Chinese medicine, paralysis has different meanings of closed obstruction, the internal scripture says "wind, cold and damp three gas mixed to, combined as paralysis", if it is typical cold injury to the yang qi, can be judged as yang qi insufficient, triggered by the cold. The manifestation of joint swelling and pain, aggravated by cold, pale tongue, thin coating, weak pulse.

Paralysis may also be caused by Damp-Heat and is not a Yang deficiency problem.

hypothyroidism

The thyroid gland can synthesize and release thyroxine, which is a hormone that maintains the heart and nerve excitability of the human body, and its function is similar to that of yang qi. If the thyroid gland is hypothyroid, manifesting itself in cold fear, slow response and swelling, it can be judged as a deficiency of yang qi, and if the identification of the disease is clear, and targeted treatments are taken, the patient will often receive a good result.

dysmenorrhoea

Most of the young patients with dysmenorrhea are innately endowed with insufficient yang, resulting in uterine cold, cold stagnation, and pain if they do not pass. Dysmenorrhea can be categorized into primary and secondary. The so-called primary is abdominal pain during menstruation that occurs for unknown reasons, and secondary can be triggered by endometrial odor, adenomyosis or endometritis. In such diseases, if there are cold abdomen, abdominal pain during menstruation, diarrhea during menstruation and other manifestations of decreased warming capacity of yang qi, they can be treated according to the theory of yang qi insufficiency.

In addition, functional dyspepsia and decreased gastric motility are often caused by Yang deficiency. Because of the wide range of diseases caused by Yang deficiency, it is impossible to list them all, so readers are advised to pay attention to identify them, and if necessary, to ask a Chinese medicine practitioner to differentiate them from each other, and not to abuse medicines on their own to support Yang Qi.

summarize

Yang qi contains yuan qi, zong qi, ying qi, wei qi, although each has its own physiological function, but the total called "yang qi", and yang qi deficiency is the clinical evidence of traditional Chinese medicine, mostly related to old age and prolonged illness, overwork, cold and other depletion factors, the symptoms are manifested in the yang qi of warmth, stimulation, promotion, defense of the decline in the ability to appear afraid of the cold, fear of cold, pale, frequent urination, loose stools and diarrhea, and the symptoms of the yang qi of the cold and cold. Pallor, frequent urination, loose stools and diarrhea. Clinically, it can lead to a variety of diseases, such as cardiac insufficiency, dysmenorrhea, hypothyroidism, etc. When these diseases and symptoms appear, first of all, we should ask the physician to confirm and take standardized and targeted adjustments, if the innate endowment of yang qi insufficiency, but there is no substantial disease, you can consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and be given adjustments. Attention to Yang Qi deficiency is equivalent to caring for the body, good living habits, appropriate exercise, healthy dietary structure, light meals, hot, not overworked, rest on time, do not consume Yang Qi, to achieve the Chinese medicine said "yin and yang secret, the spirit of the state of health is cured"!

Lastly, I hope my answer was helpful!

"Yang qi" is the concept of Chinese medicine, if we go to see a Chinese medicine practitioner, "lack of yang qi", "yang deficiency", the probability of these diagnoses is still very high, and sometimes the Chinese medicine practitioner can see your tongue from the Sometimes the Chinese medicine practitioner can tell from your tongue that you have insufficient yang qi. But what exactly is Yang Qi deficiency? What causes Yang Qi deficiency?

What are the symptoms of Yang deficiency?

Chinese medicine says: Yang insufficiency, all kinds of diseases. Maybe we do not have an intuitive concept of yang deficiency, but in fact, the occurrence of many diseases in Western medicine are actually related to yang deficiency, such as infertility, obesity, allergic diseases, endocrine disorders, etc., the root cause of these diseases in the view of traditional Chinese medicine is the lack of yang. "Yang" is the sun, it can be imagined, if the world lost the sun, everything can be extinguished, and the human body lack of yang qi, is the same reason. Yang qi is the driving force to maintain the normal functioning of the body, and if it is depleted, the person will die.

The body's yang qi mainly from two parts, one is the innate bring, which is brewing from the womb, so some children are born weak, it may be that the bottom is not playing well; the second is the absorption of the day after day, mainly from the spleen and stomach to transport the water and cereal essence, that is, ingested from food, and the other day not only to obtain the yang qi, but also to deplete yang qi, such as daily life, a lot of bad habits are the depletion of the yang qi! This is why it is so common for modern people to lose their yang qi. This is also why modern people are common yang deficiency reasons. According to relevant data, 80% of modern people have a deficiency of yang qi.

How does Yang deficiency occur?

For people with congenital weakness, parents ask their children to eat and sleep well from childhood and give them all kinds of nutrition, which is actually to make up for the congenital lack of yang qi through acquired efforts. However, adults nowadays are so exhausted in order to feed their families that not only do they not absorb enough yang qi, but they also consume extra yang qi, which will inevitably lead to yang qi deficiency.

Simply put, if the body replenishes more yang than it depletes, making it insufficient to sustain the organism, it will show signs of yang deficiency. This is not sudden, but a process of slow depletion, and it may take several years to go from qi deficiency to yang deficiency, so it is difficult to be detected in the early stages. Even if there are some physical abnormalities, they are easily overlooked.

1, diet: dietary intake is the key to replenish yang qi, if in order to lose weight and excessive dieting, resulting in nutritional deficiencies, will inevitably cause yang qi insufficiency, in addition to dietary greed cold, favor cold drinks, cold food, the fruit as a meal, eat less staple food, etc., these are the dietary causes of yang qi insufficiency.

2, cold: in order to pursue the beauty of wearing very little, take a cold shower, wash your hands and face with cool water, etc., these cold behavior will also deplete the body's yang qi, resulting in a lack of yang qi.

3, sedentary: a sit sit all day, a serious lack of exercise, sweating less, which will also lead to the lack of yang.

4, stay up late: often stay up late to work overtime, overwork, stress, resulting in excessive loss of yang.

7, indulgence: young people rely on their youth and indulge themselves, can also lead to excessive loss of yang.

What are the signs of Yang deficiency?

1, fear of cold: this is the most common manifestation, yang qi is like the sun, is used to warm the human body, if the yang qi is insufficient, people are prone to fear of cold, manifested in cold hands and feet, waist and knees, the whole body cold, often abdominal pain, diarrhea, stool sugar dilution, etc., if serious, it will also cause uterine cold infertility, gastric cold, and so on.

2, loss of appetite: Chinese medicine believes that the stomach is used to "accept the ripening of water and grain", that is to say, the stomach to digest food, you need enough temperature, if the lack of yang will lead to "ripening" can not be completed properly, affecting the digestion and absorption of food, resulting in loss of appetite! If Yang energy is insufficient, it will lead to "putrefaction" not being completed properly, affecting the digestion and absorption of food, leading to loss of appetite, bloating and abdominal pain.

3, depressed: Yang is the basis for maintaining the physiological activities of the body, if the lack of Yang will also affect the body's vitality, so that the whole person looks wilted, easy to fatigue and fatigue, mental depression, lazy, and so on.

4, irregular menstruation: women are more likely to be damaged yang, the most common manifestation is the uterine cold, followed by delayed menstruation, low menstrual flow, blood clots, menstrual cramps, etc., serious impact on fertility, but also may cause a lot of gynecological diseases.

5, the whole body performance: Yang deficiency people will also have insomnia and dreams, easy to catch a cold, night urination, hair loss, dull face, dizziness, shortness of breath and other symptoms.

6, other performance: Chinese medicine diagnosis of Yang deficiency, but also combined with the tongue, pulse, etc., Yang deficiency is usually manifested as white tongue coating, soft tongue, tongue fat with teeth marks; pulse is thin and weak.

First of all, yang qi has warm organization viscera, promote growth and development, defense against evil, fixed body fluid blood, transformation of the body's substances, metabolism role, and full in the body.

Deficiency of yang qi has different symptoms in each internal organ

deficiency of lung yangCoughing and shortness of breath, white sputum, coldness and chills.

deficiency of heart yangPalpitations and insomnia, chest tightness, coldness and chills can be seen.

depletion of spleen yang (TCM)Abdominal pain, loose stools, warmth and pressure, coldness and chills can be seen.

deficiency of liver yangIt can be seen as depressed mood, suspicious and anxious, cold pain in the lesser abdomen, preferring warmth and pressure; and

deficiency of yang in the kidney (TCM)It can be seen as soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, loose stools, diarrhea at night, excessive nocturia, and coldness of the limbs.

Overall easy to sweat, tongue pale fat, pulse sinking late weak, diet do not eat cold frozen food, such as fruit, milk, etc., you can moxibustion, such as qihai, guanyuan, foot Sanli and other points, qi deficiency for too long can also lead to yang deficiency, because qi also belongs to the yang.

See this question, I have to say a few words, because a few days ago, someone consulted me, said, "doctor, spleen and kidney Yang deficiency, what to take Chinese medicine good?" I'm not sure if the problem really exists, so I simply ask the person what symptoms they have, such as fear of cold, diarrhea and so on, and then I'm told that there are no symptoms, that is, the Chinese medicine practitioner gave him a pulse and said, and then they took the right pills themselves. I've encountered similar cases before, saying that the doctor took their pulse and said something or other, and then came to me to prescribe medication. I think it is strange, they do not prescribe medicine to cure the disease after taking the pulse?

This is a simple spitball, just to tell people that they are not weak, do not have a number in their hearts? Don't take medication if you're not sick, whether it's traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine. Now back to the topic, what are the symptoms of Yang Qi deficiency?

In fact, the symptoms of yang deficiency are still relatively obvious, which areIt's cold. I'm afraid of the cold.The manifestations of the symptoms vary in severity depending on the severity of the yang deficiency. For examplecold hands and feetIn the worst cases, he is not warm or even cold below the knees; in the summer, when everyone wears one and a half pieces, he has to wear two or three pieces to be comfortable, and he has to wear one and a half pieces to be comfortable.I'm afraid to take a shower.usualDrinks like warm waterI don't dare to drink cold water and eat something cold.diarrheaThe stools are not formed or there is undigested food. The tongue sticks out and is lighter in color, watery, or thin white moss, and the pulse is weaker and more sedentary.

Of course the symptoms of yang deficiency will vary from organ to organ. Generally speaking, when we say Yang deficiency, we meanHeart Yang deficiency, Spleen Yang deficiency or Kidney Yang deficiency, or both together, such as spleen and kidney yang deficiency, and rarely say lung yang deficiency or liver yang deficiency. Lung Yang deficiency is generally what we say isdeficiency of the lungs and of the guardians of the lungs (TCM)The failure to fix the surface of the body is easy toCold, fear of cold, fear of wind, sweating, cough, white thin sputumor frothy phlegm, etc.; Liver-Yang deficiency is relatively rare and is usually characterized byLiver qi deficiency is commonoccurrenceDizziness, blurred vision, fatigue, weakness, weakness of muscles and bones, poor tolerance, sleeplessnessetc. In the case of yang deficiency, add some manifestations of fear of cold. General fear of cold limbs, sweating, cold hands and feet, and excessive urination are the general usual symptoms of Yang deficiency. What are the manifestations of Heart Yang deficiency, Spleen Yang deficiency and Kidney Yang deficiency?

deficiency of heart yangIt is easy to appearTightness in chest, panic attacks, pale or dull complexion, darker lips, purple tongue, tight or sunken pulseetc.

depletion of spleen yang (TCM)It is easy to appearCold pain in the epigastrium, diarrhea and diarrhea, or unformed stools, incomplete grain, tiredness, fatigue, do not want to eat, the stomach likes to be warm and likes to be pressedetc.

deficiency of yang in the kidney (TCM)It is easy to appearCold pain in the waist and knees, cold limbs, especially in the lower limbs, edema, excessive urination, clear and long urine, diarrhea in the fifth day of the week, and inability to achieve virility.etc.

What about Yang deficiency? In fact, within the various kinds of deficiency, yang deficiency is the better type to regulate. There can be several ways:

1. Food supplementsThis is the safest.Chicken, Lamb, Beef, Leek, Shrimp, Pumpkin, Ginger, Chili Pepperetc. are warm foods, and eating more of these can replenish yang qi, such asLamb Soup with Angelica and Ginger, Scrambled Eggs with Leek, Scrambled Shrimp with Leeketc;

2. MoxibustionThis saves time and has obvious results, you can moxibrate yourself, and the commonly used acupuncture points can beFoot Sanli, Guanyuan, Zhongcheng, Shenque, Yongquan, Ren Yu, Vital GateAnd so on, but of course you can also moxibu along the entire spine on both sides of the acupoints once. If you have time, you can moxibu one at a time, or if you don't have enough time, you can moxibu for 15-30 minutes at a time. I usually moxibe on the winter solstice and summer solstice.
