Is the Chinese medicine saying that the deficiency fire is the same thing as the hyperactive liver yang?
Chinese medicine said that the deficiency fire on the inflammation and liver yang hyperactivity is not the same thing, in Chinese medicine diagnosis is completely different from the two evidence. Often also two easier to confuse the two symptoms, and friends talk about the following.

First, first understand the Yin deficiency and fire evidence:
1. Important documentation:
The Jingyue Encyclopedia. Fire evidence" pointed out that: "the source of the disease of false fire has two, cover a day of yin deficiency can be fever, this to the loss of true yin, water can not control the fire also. Two days of yang deficiency can also fever, this to the yuan yang defeat, the fire does not return to the source, this disease heat of the two also ...... ".
The above literature suggests the pathomechanism of deficiency fire: when true yin is deficient, yin does not control yang, and deficiency fire is generated internally, then yin deficiency and fire are exuberant.
2. What is meant by the evidence of yin deficiency and fire exuberance?
Yin deficiency and fire evidence:It is a deficiency of kidney yin, kidney yin can not restrain kidney yang, the deficiency fire is generated internally, upward inflammation in the face, manifested as facial flushing, dry mouth and pharynx and other symptoms of the syndrome.

3. Etiology:
(1) The loss and depletion of true yin in ordinary life, and insufficiency of the liver and kidneys:Kidney-Yin cannot restrain Kidney-Yang, and the deficiency fire grows internally, and the fire nature is inflamed upwards.

Third, we will talk about the evidence of hyperactivity of liver yang:
1. Important documentation:
Ye Tianshi pointed out in the "clinical guide to medical cases - stroke": "the liver is the wind organ, because of the exhaustion of essence and blood, water does not contain wood, wood less nourishing glory, so the liver yang is over-exuberant, the internal winds start".
Medical Door Laws - Nei Jing Ten Questions pointed out that: "the liver gas to the Article for the smooth, vegetative depression and anger, the gas is not adjusted to the horizontal grid, gradually to the lower part of the virtual on the full, the gas is not returned, dizziness do not know people and syncope.
The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine pointed out that "the liver is a rigid organ, the official of the General", the organ of the wind and wood, the nature of its rigidity, like to adjust and evil depression, its gas is easy to hyper and easy to reverse.
The above literature can see the etiology and pathogenesis of hyperactivity of liver yang: the liver is a rigid organ, its nature is easy to hyperactivity and reversal, liver and kidney yin deficiency in the lower part of the body, can not restrain the liver yang, hyperactivity of liver yang reversal in the upper part of the body.

2. What is meant by the evidence of hyperactivity of liver yang?
Liver Yang is hyperactive:It refers to the deficiency of yin of the liver and kidney, which cannot restrain the liver yang, and the liver yang is hyper-reversed on the top, manifesting as dizziness and distension of the head, irritability and irritability, etc., with the symptoms of lower deficiency and upper reality, and the symptoms of this deficiency and the symptoms of this deficiency.
3. Etiology:
(1), the injury caused by emotions and spirits:Violent anger injures the liver, or emotional depression, liver depression and stagnation of qi, qi depresses and transforms into fire, depleting the yin of the liver and kidneys, yin does not control yang, and liver yang is hyper-reversed on the upper level.
(2) Deficiency of the yin of the liver and kidneys:Prolonged illness, old age, deficiency of true yin, yin does not contain yang, liver yang rises and moves too much, hyper-reversal on the upper.

Both the symptoms of fire are found in the symptoms of deficiency fire and hyperactivity of liver yang, but there is a difference between the two.
Deficiency fire is mostly caused by internal injuries, such as dysfunction of internal organs, partial failure of qi, blood, yin and yang, or loss of nourishment after a long period of illness, loss of essence and qi, which may lead to deficiency fire. Generally, the deficiency of kidney yin leads to over-excessive kidney yang and the rise of deficiency fire is common, which is characterized by a slow onset and a long course of the disease. The main symptoms are hot flashes and night sweats, heat in the hands and feet, zygomatic redness in the afternoon, sores on the mouth and tongue, a red tongue with little fluid, no moss or peeling moss, and a fine or large pulse. Liver and kidney yin deficiency may also be characterized by dizziness and tinnitus, lumbago and spermatorrhea. Heart yang can not fall, kidney yin can not be up to break the balance of water and fire, thus the treatment of deficiency fire inflammation is to nourish the kidney yin, clear the heart and tranquilize the spirit, commonly used prescription is tonifying the heart Dan (pill), six flavors of dihuangwan, Zhibai dihuangwan and so on. Normally, you can eat some black sesame, black beans, mulberry, wolfberry, walnut and other nourishing liver and kidney food.
Hyperactivity of Liver-Yang is a condition characterized by hyperactivity of Liver-Yang and hyperactivity of Yang in the upper part of the body, which is caused by Qi depression, fire and injury to Yin, over-exertion of housework or deficiency of Kidney-Yin in old age. It is characterized by both hyperactivity of liver yang and deficiency of liver and kidney yin, such as red face and red eyes, dizziness, tinnitus, irritability, forgetfulness and insomnia, lumbago and weakness, red tongue with little or no moss, and strong or fine pulse. The treatment for hyperactivity of liver yang is to calm the liver and subdue the yang, nourish yin and lower the fire, and commonly used formulas are Tianma Hook Teng Drink, Qi Ju Di Huang Wan and so on.
In a nutshell, the inflamed deficiency fire and the hyperactive liver yang are not exactly the same thing.
