How do you know if you have a yang deficiency?

In clinical practice, we often come across patients who say, "Doctor, am I suffering from kidney yang deficiency?" or "Am I suffering from liver fire, spleen and stomach deficiency? Or "Doctor, am I suffering from liver fire, spleen and stomach deficiency?" and so on. and so on. Sometimes patients do know exactly what is going on with them, but in many cases, they think they do, but they don't. Today, we will talk about this. Let's talk about this today.How to know if you have a Yang deficiencyThe topic.

In general, it's still relatively easy to tell if it's a yang deficiency.Yang deficiency mainly refers to the weakness of yang qi, some of the symptoms that will arise. For exampleEasily afraid of cold, cold hands and feet, cold pain in the waist and knees, loose stools, long and clear urine, fatigue, pale complexion, pale tongue with thin white moss, like to eat warm foodAnd so on.

Different internal organs will be relatively differentFor exampledeficiency of heart yangIt's still happening.Panic palpitations, chest tightnessetc;depletion of spleen yang (TCM)It's still happening.Loss of appetite, loose stoolsetc;deficiency of yang in the kidney (TCM)It's still happening.Low back pain, cold knees, hypogonadismetc;deficiency of lung yangcan occurCough with shortness of breath and clear white sputumetc;deficiency of liver yangcan occurLow mood, chest discomfort, dizzinessetc.

But these are not the main points I want to talk about in this article, because many people know or are familiar with the above. But the actual symptoms shown in the human body is more complicated, people are easy to make mistakes in judgment.There are three things that are most likely to go wrong, which are they?

First, when there is a drink evil in the body, if you can not understand this drink evil, can simply be understood as wet. (A brief explanation: the Chinese medicine drink has "Water, Drink, Phlegm, Dampness"Four kinds of disease evils, but the source is the same, for example, if we drink a large amount of water when we are very thirsty, and drink it too fast, and the water is not digested, it may become the evil of drinking, and then we are prone to vomiting, and we won't even want to eat or drink for a whole day because the water-drinking stops at the stomach and affects the transportation of the spleen and the stomach.) When the organism is attacked by water-drinking, the manifestation will be somewhat like the symptoms of Yang deficiency, such assuperficial deficiency and wind-water syndrome (TCM)There will beFear of wind and cold, sweating, edema of the lower limbs, depression when pressed, fatigue, pale complexionetc., it is more appropriate to use Fangji Huangqi Tang, which benefits Qi, dispels wind, strengthens the spleen and induces diuresis. Such an evidence type inChronic kidney disease, rheumatoid arthritis, cardiac edemaWaiting is more common.

Above this is water drinking on the surface of the body, there are many in the body, such asDrinking evil in the lungsWhen this is done, it will showFear of cold, cough, white foamy sputumetc., can be treated with Xiaoqinglong Tang; for exampleDrinking evil in the heartThe person who will show thePalpitations, chest tightness, shortness of breath, white slippery coatingetc., you can use Ling Gui Zhu Gan Tang, Poria Gan Cao Tang, Ling Gui Zao Gan Tang, etc.; and in theStomach, Spleen, KidneyDrinking evils in different places, such as in different parts of the world, can show symptoms that appear to be yang deficiency. WhileTo treat these watery drinks, it is not by replenishing Yang Qi, but more by promoting Yang and inducing diuresis, so that the evil of watery drinks can be discharged from the body through urination or sweating.For example, Wu Ling San, Ling Gui Zhu Gan Tang. For example, Wu Ling San, Ling Gui Zhu Gan Tang all these and more do not have Yang Qi tonic medicines. And these above water drinking diseases are reflected in many modern diseases, such asChronic bronchitis, chronic kidney diseaseAnd so on.

Second, the cold evil direct typeThe cold may also be manifested in a piece of cold, but it does not mean that the organism is necessarily yang deficiency. For example, if we sleep at night with our umbilicus exposed to the cold, we may have stomach pain the next day, which is caused by the cold directly in the stomach and epigastric region. There is a very typical disease called Kidney Attachment Disease (肾着病), which is described in "The Essentials of the Golden Chamber" (金匮要略).Kidney attached to the disease, his body weight, the waist in the cold, such as sitting in the water ...... Body labor sweating, clothes wrapped in cold and wet, for a long time to get, the waist below the cold pain, abdominal weight such as with five thousand money, sweet ginger lingzhu soup main."Its symptoms look particularly like kidney yang deficiency, which is actually caused by cold and dampness invading the waist. This disease is not uncommon in the clinic, and manyrheumatism and lumbagoIf you have this type of evidence, it is also appropriate to use this Kidney Attachment Soup.

Third, cold and heat mixed typeIt is easy to be confused when there are both cold and heat symptoms, especially when the symptoms of heat are not obvious, or when it is not clear that they are heat symptoms. However, it is very common to have a mixture of heat and cold, especially in women.On the one hand, there are symptoms of uterine cold, abdominal pain and fear of cold, and on the other hand, there are symptoms of irritability, easy to catch fire or dry mouth and sore throat. Men have some of the same.Fear of coldness in the lower half of the body, clear and long urination, and lack of virility; the upper part of the body manifests impatience, thirst, and red tongue with yellow coatingetc. If these cold and heat mismatches are manifested in the middle jiao, liver, gallbladder, spleen and stomach, many people may not be able to tell whether they have a yang deficiency or a yin deficiency, or whether they are cold or hot. Modern diseases such asChronic gastritis, chronic enteritis, duodenal ulcer, gastroptosis, etc. are prone to this type of mixed cold and heat syndrome.. There are also a lot of Chinese medicine prescriptions in treating cold and heat mismatch, such as Half-summer Laxative Heart Soup, Ginger Laxative Heart Soup, Licorice Laxative Heart Soup, Lian Li Soup, Chai Hu Gui Zhi Dry Ginger Soup, Wu Mei Pill, and so on.

Therefore, when you are judging whether you are Yang deficiency, you should pay special attention to the above three situations to see whether you are really Yang deficiency. If it is not a yang deficiency, carrying out yang tonic will easily lead to aggravation of the disease.Don't simply assume that there is either a Yang or Yin deficiency, or a Qi or Blood deficiency. If you don't know how to read it yourself, you can get a TCM doctor to read it for you, or you can also leave a message in the comments section!

How can you tell if you have a yang deficiency?

People who are afraid of the cold have yang deficiency, and this is the easiest way to tell.

Of course, to further right the ship? There are also many characteristics:

Fear of the cold, the spirit is especially prone to depression, and the men often have sore backs and cold backs, and the women have cold hands and feet; of course, the men have cold hands and feet, too;

Frequent urination, getting up several times during the night, often running to the bathroom for a few drops;

In addition, people with yang deficiency are often prone to diarrhea, even in the middle of summer with a little cold wind may have diarrhea;

Also, prone to joint pain and stiffness, twisting and crackling;

Thinning hair is not lush;

Also, cotton coats are put on earlier than others and taken off later than others;

Seriously, it doesn't really feel hot or even cold in the middle of summer;

In addition, people with Yang deficiency constitution, but whenever they encounter cold weather, they are prone to relapse of various chronic diseases, such as rhinitis, pharyngitis, arthritis and so on.

Of course, it is important for you to understand that all of what has been said this evening is not a serious illness. They are all functional disorders, not organic pathologies. My usual sharing is just a wish for early attention to restore and maintain good health.

For Yang deficiency body:

Dressing: make sure to dress warmly and without leaks.

Food: Be sure to eat plenty of warm foods. Of course, since there is no precise rationing and processing of the juns and shengs, it can only be called food, not dietary therapy, and will not be able to maximize its effectiveness.

Warm foods, there are for example ginger, pepper, beef and lamb, chestnuts and so on.

It's impossible to catalog this one, so you can find it on your own, warm foods will do.

Chestnuts should not be eaten too much, eat too much will be stagnant, but chestnut stewed old hen is good; mutton stewed radish is also very good~

Eat less green beans, watermelon, and other cold foods. In addition, also eat less sticky and greasy nature of the food, easy to generate moisture, of course, frozen cold drinks that is more do not eat.

If you want to drink tea, try to drink black tea, which is warmer to the stomach; green tea, although scraping the oil, is cold and unsuitable.

Living: It should be ventilated and warm, with plenty of sunlight, preferably in a south-facing room.

Regular work and rest: do not stay up late, staying up late at night depletes yang qi very much.

Also you can always soak your feet in hot water. 43 degrees is fine, any higher, put in a pair of feet, fish them out and it's a stewed pig's feet~

Soak your feet if you like to pound, you can also cook some ginger soup, pepper water poured into the foot basin, and soak cooked on the way to make a pair of marinated hooves.

Also, hot compresses are a great way to apply wherever you are cold, such as joints, stomach, back, and so on. If you feel carefully, you can find some specific parts of the body out of a stream of cold air, then hot compress there.

Also, exercise more, exercise generates yang. And, be sure to exercise in the morning, that's when yang energy rises.

I've talked about how to get the intensity of exercise before, so I'll say it again here.

Movements can be broadly divided into activities, sports, and labor.

However, the activity falls short of a workout.

Labor is over-exercise, which tends to damage the body, and many athletes retire all sick.

Well, the best form of exercise is aerobic.

There's a particularly simple way to tell if it's cardio or not:

Panting during exercise but can speak relatively fluently. If you don't breathe faster, the exercise is ineffective; if you can't catch your breath, you're over-exercising.

Medical book teacher original, focusing on Chinese medicine health food therapy to regulate sub-health, has helped many small partners to regulate the recovery of the body.

Yin and Yang, a pair of categories in ancient philosophy. The very first definitions of yin and yang were very plain, theAs the Shuo Wen says: "Yin, darkness. South of the water, north of the mountain.""Yang, also known as Gao Ming.It refers to the direction of daylight, toward the sunlight is yang, backward is yin. As it developed, the plain meaning of yin and yang was gradually extended, such as warmth and brightness towards the sunlight, and coldness, stillness and obscurity behind the sunlight. This simple meaning is still valid today, although medicine has developed a new definition of it.

First of all, yang deficiency is a manifestation of the whole body, many internal organs can have yang deficiency manifestations, such as stomach yang deficiency, spleen yang deficiency, kidney yang deficiency. There are many manifestations of yang deficiency, but its essence is a cold manifestation just like the simple concept. Characteristic manifestations are clear and long urine, thin stools, cold limbs, like hot drinks.

In the men's clinic, many people like to ask a question, "Doctor, am I a kidney yang deficiency?" Among the yang deficiency, kidney yang deficiency is one of the most frequently mentioned. KidneyHides the essence and is the master of reproduction.General kidney yang deficiency manifestation of lumbar and knee soreness and cold pain, plain cold limbs, cold limbs, lower limbs, frequent urination, long, nocturia, God's face color white or sallow. In men's diseases, there are also libido frigidity, impotence, spermatorrhea, premature ejaculation, seminal cold sterility, and so on. In today's society, many people only want to enjoy, stay up late, overeating, like cold drinks, do not pay attention to warmth, masturbation or sex too often, will damage the person's yang, a series of problems. But nowadays, many patients with yang deficiency also have yin deficiency, so we can't generalize.

So how do we take care of our yang energy?

1, Sleep on time. Yang energy enters the yin during sleep. If you go to bed too late, your yang energy will be consumed, and you will be prone to a series of symptoms of yang deficiency. It is recommended to go to bed at the latest11Go to bed by midnight.

2, Moderate exercise. Exercise can promote blood circulation, speed up the metabolism, is very important to improve the physique. Usually should be appropriate to participate in more physical exercise, but exercise should not be excessive, excessive exercise and inappropriate time exercise will damage the yang qi.

3, Food Therapy. Normally, you can eat more foods that help increase yang energy, such as mutton, dog meat, pigeon, quail, durian, etc.

4. Moxibustion. Moxibustion can have the effect of promoting qi and blood circulation, warming qi and blood. Usually can moxibustion in the epigastric point, qihai point, guanyuan point, kidney acupuncture point, the fate of the acupoints, to improve the yang deficiency body is very helpful.

How do you know if you have a Yang deficiency? Before answering this question, let's first understand what Yang deficiency is

What is yang deficiency?

Yang deficiency is the body in the internal organs dysfunction, produced by the lack of yang qi, yang deficiency birth internal cold, which will appear a series of symptoms.

Yang deficiency is relative to yin deficiency, the human body has yin and yang, only yin and yang harmonization of the human body can be in a healthy state, when the human body yin and yang imbalance when the human body will be prone to some diseases. When there is an imbalance between yin and yang, the human body will be prone to some diseases. When the yang eliminates the yin, it is easy to produce cold, showing that the lack of yang, the human body to lose the promotion, warmth, transpiration and other effects of the decline, it is easy to appear in the situation of the water to stay. Yang deficiency will give birth to cold, so many people will be afraid of cold. In today's society, with the change of lifestyle, there are more and more young people with Yang deficiency. Among the nine types of constitution in our Chinese medicine, there is the Yang deficiency constitution.

What are the signs of Yang deficiency?

1: Pale color of face

2: Cold form and cold limbs

3: Tiredness and fatigue like lying down

4: Easily swollen

5: Sugary stools

6: Low back pain

What habits tend to cause yang deficiency?

1: Inadequate innate endowment

2: External Cold Attack

3: Diet cold and raw

4: Excessive worrying

5: Prolonged stay in cold places

6: After a serious and prolonged illness

How should I manage my Yang deficiency?

The general idea should be to warm the Yang and disperse the cold.

1: Eat a diet rich in mild foods

Say goodbye to cold and raw foods in your diet, like chilled foods, drinks, seafood products, it is better to eat less or not eat. Eat more warm food, grains, longan meat, walnuts, ginger, garlic, pepper, seasonal vegetables and fruits. Meat such as: lamb, chicken, beef, etc.

2: Clothing to keep warm and avoid wind chill

Clothing should also be, especially in the parts of the body that are prone to wind and cold. Such as: neck, waist and back, abdomen, lower limbs, knees, ankles and so on. So when the temperature is low to pay attention to these parts, wear good socks, long pants, do not show ankles, do not wear navel dress and backless dress, even in the hot summer, unless once in a while under a special occasion.

3: Moxibustion warms Yang and disperses cold

We usually choose to moxibustion human body Guanyuan point, the fate of the point, the big vertebrae point, foot Sanli point, Shenque point to play warm spleen and kidney, warm Yang dispersal of the effect of cold. Remember to drink warm water before and after moxibustion, and avoid wind and cold after moxibustion.

4: Soak your feet in hot water at night before going to bed

At night before going to bed with hot water foot soak, can play a role in dispersing cold, general Yang deficiency of the crowd we suggest that you can use some warm Chinese medicine boiled water foot soak, such as: ginger, mugwort, pepper, saffron and so on. Each time you soak your feet for about 20-30 minutes or so, to the body slightly sweating is appropriate, but also to improve the quality of sleep. Long-term persistence will play a very good effect, only the body of Yang Qi sufficient internal organs function normally the human body can be healthy. And do not stay up late to sleep, to develop the habit of going to bed early, a good nap is very critical.

Many headline friends want me to prescribe a prescription, but I have to say that everyone's situation is different, the prescription is different, it is difficult to open a unified standardized prescription, please forgive me! I am here to popularize some of the basics of the Chinese ear, for everyone to discuss and learn, if there is something wrong, welcome to correct!

In order to know if you have a yang deficiency, you first need to understand some of the most basic knowledge of yin and yang.

Yin and Yang is the oldest philosophical concept of dialectics in the motherland, which corresponds to the contradiction in material dialectics, that is to say, there are two sides to everything. The doctrine of yin and yang is the most fundamental theoretical basis of Chinese medicine, and is the first of the eight principles.

Therefore, if yang is deficient, yin is also deficient, i.e., if yin is prevalent, yang is deficient. Yang deficiency is relative, such as in the balance of yin and yang secret, due to other reasons, yin flourished, Yang is also relatively weak, but the treatment is to reduce the yin, not to supplement the yang. Therefore, Yang deficiency is relative and should be analyzed under the guidance of a TCM practitioner.

Symptoms of Yang deficiency include feeling cold, relatively cold hands and feet, a preference for heat and fear of cold, loose stools, and pain in the lower back and knees. Men may experience spermatorrhea and lack of firmness, and women may experience frigidity. Difficulty in sleeping and early awakening may occur. If these symptoms occur, you need to seek treatment from a Chinese medicine practitioner, it may be a Yang deficiency.

To know whether you are a Yang deficiency, you should judge from the pathological characteristics of Yang deficiency, the causes of its formation, and its pathological manifestations:

Yang has the role of promoting, warming, gasification and nutrition, so Yang deficiency will make the organism in the course of disease, Yang deficiency, reduced function, heat deficiency pathological state, which is what we usually call the deficiency cold evidence.

The causes of yang deficiency are congenital endowment insufficiency, injured by external cold, over-eating cold, labor and tiredness, internal injuries, staying up all night, and injuring yang after a long period of illness.

Yang is weak, gasification powerless, Jin, blood running slow, viscera function pathologically reduced, so yang deficiency is often manifested as pale, depressed, cold hands and feet cold, cold like warm, like quiet like lying down, the tongue is fat and light, the pulse sinking and weak. Heart yang deficiency with heart and chest tightness, face blue lips purple; spleen yang deficiency with abdominal distension, less food, loose stools; kidney yang deficiency with frequent urination, impotence, cold waist and spine, or women with diluted; lung yang deficiency with less gas, coughing, sweating, phlegm and saliva diluted; liver yang insufficiency with cold hernia testicular throbbing pain or the top of the top for pain. Visceral yang deficiency is generally spleen and kidney yang deficiency is common, kidney yang is the root of the body yang, kidney yang deficiency is very important in yang deficiency pathology.

If we combine the various versions of the diagnostic criteria for yang deficiency - I think it should be renal yang deficiency - we will find that there are so many diagnostic criteria for renal yang deficiency in ancient and modern Chinese medicine, and there are also more or less discrepancies between the various versions of the criteria, which makes it difficult to recognize any one of them as the most authoritative or consensus criterion. It is difficult to recognize any one standard as the most authoritative or consensus.

Moreover, when combing through the descriptions of the individual criteria, there are also cases where the symptom descriptions are polymorphic - that is, one symptom description contains two meanings for the doctor, for example, nocturnal enuresis contains both nocturnal enuresis and nocturnal enuresis in two meanings.

The standard also exists in the case of multiple lines in one sense - that is, there are multiple ways of describing a symptom, such as godly fatigue, mental exhaustion, godly fatigue, and so on.

All of the above brings us to the point where we cannot accurately argue how to judge for ourselves or from the healer whether the patient is Yang-deficient or not.

In answering this question, I want to comprehensively sort out the descriptions of the entries in the literature for Yang deficiency, weed out the weights, and summarize them together for the convenience of patients and practitioners to deepen their knowledge.

Ticking the weight means - let me give you an example, like bam or sallow face versus bam and sallow face, cold fear versus cold fear and cold limbs to break it down.

It is then standardized to determine the evidence of yang deficiency in terms of location, nature of the disease, tongue, pulse, and several other categories.


Kidney yang deficiency, belongs to the viscera identification

Kidney yang deficiency evidence, belonging to the viscera identification, then we must identify the viscera disease position, identify the nature of the disease.

The kidney opens the orifices in the two yin, in the body is the bone, and produces the marrow to fill the brain, and its splendor is in the hair.

The kidneys are responsible for the storage of essence, growth, development and reproduction.

The kidneys, in turn, are responsible for water and for holding qi.

The pathology of nephropathy is characterized by growth, developmental delay, reproductive dysfunction, and disorders of fluid metabolism.

The bladder is directly connected to the kidneys, and there are also meridians that are interconnected with the kidneys.

The bladder has the function of storing and voiding urine, and the main pathology of cystinosis is the dysfunction of fledgling and voiding.

Therefore, for the judgment of Yang deficiency evidence, it is necessary to categorize from the location of the disease, the nature of the disease, the tongue, the pulse and other aspects.

The following is a summary of the location, nature of the disease, tongue, pulse and a few other entries after detachment and picking of the weight, but hopefully it will help you to determine if you have a Yang deficiency.


What are the symptoms to know if you have a Yang deficiency?

There are 55 symptoms described from the locus coeruleus:

Excessive nocturia, impotence, clear and long urine, infertility, premature ejaculation, low libido, loose stools, lumbago, lumbar pain, frequent urination, wheezing, sore knees, ossification of the ears, slippery spermatozoa, soreness and tenderness of the waist and knees, diarrhea, frequent nocturia, fullness of the abdomen, dysuria, dysuria, heel pain, amenorrhea, infertility, hard stools, profuse diarrhea, soreness in the shins, residual leaking after urination, shortness of breath, scanty urination, spermatorrhea, enuresis, abdominal pain, loss of hair, dreaming, coldness of the head of the yin of men and urination of the spermatozoa, Clear urine, cloudy urine, hearing loss, dysmenorrhea, soreness of the vulva, dysuria, lowering of clear grains, lower limbs, urinary incontinence, constriction of the abdomen, hypogonadism, sexual dysfunction, abnormal sexual function, sexual and reproductive hypogonadism, floating of the teeth, especially below the waist and knees, hypomenorrhea, and late menstruation.

A total of 131 symptom descriptions are involved in the above five categories.

This is after the symptoms (ticking heavy) that appear in all the individual diagnostic criteria for Yang deficiency.

Hopefully, the above answers will help you determine if you have a yang deficiency.

An informed, flavorful, and warm die-hard metabolic disease scientist, Dr. Ginger Jr.

First of all, we will briefly tell you the division of Chinese medicine physique, and then roughly say how to dialectically determine the Yang deficiency physique, and finally briefly cut off the number of Chinese medicine practitioners how to dialectically apply the Yang deficiency physique.


What is constitution? How are people's physiques categorized in Chinese medicine?

Physique, which is the specificity of form, structure and functional metabolism formed during a person's life-long growth and development, is usually based on each person's innate endowment.

In later years, the differences in each person's physique indicate the overall nature of a person, is a reflection of the differences in the metabolic activities of the internal organs of the person's internal functions and the bias of yin and yang, qi and blood, deficiency, cold and cold, and other biases.

In Chinese medicine dialectics, human physique is divided into nine types: Pinghe quality, qi deficiency quality, yang deficiency quality, yin deficiency quality, phlegm-dampness quality, blood stasis quality, qi depression quality, and special endowment quality.


What is a Yang Deficiency Body?

Yang deficiency is one of the most common body types in the clinical dialectic of Chinese medicine.

This type of body is characterized by -

Fatty, cold hands and feet, cold limbs, love to sweat, stomach and epigastric department especially afraid of cold, and can not stand the cold in winter, also can not stand the cool air in the air-conditioned house in summer, the clothes are always more than others to wear, like to be quiet, uncomfortable to eat or drink cold things, easy to have loose stools, urine clear ulcers, lack of mental energy, fatigue and weakness, spermatorrhea, loss of libido, thinning of the hair, tastelessness of the mouth, the tongue texture is white, the moss is white and watery, the tongue is big and fat, the tongue has a big teeth mark. The tongue is chubby with teeth marks on the edge of the tongue.

The Chinese believe that insufficient yang qi, which means that the fire of life is not strong enough to moisten all parts of the body, leads to a yang-deficient body.

If you have any of these symptoms, I'm afraid you have to suspect that you have a Yang deficiency constitution or both.


What should I do to regulate my Yang deficiency?

So, if you have a yang deficiency, how do you conserve your yang energy and keep the fire of life alive?

Here, I can introduce a therapy called Dude Moxibustion.

Moxibustion is one of the important methods of treatment in ancient China, the method is to use drugs to cauterize the acupoints, convert heat energy into biological internal energy, activate the human body meridians, regulate the physiological balance of the body, so as to achieve the purpose of treating diseases, belonging to a kind of internal disease external treatment method.

The method of acupuncture and moxibustion is to stimulate the body's own yang qi with the help of the theory of the Governor's Chakra, and then transfer it to the whole body through the meridian system to play a role in protecting the organism, warming the five viscera and six bowels, and strengthening the righteousness of the qi.

To understand this, you can refer to the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, which states that "when righteousness exists within, evils cannot be interfered with", and that if a person's righteousness is strong, illnesses and pains will naturally diminish.

As for the Governor moxibustion therapy home is inconvenient to operate, then there is no need to understand in detail, interested can go to the relevant departments of Chinese medicine hospitals.


Yang Deficiency Physique. How to nourish it through meals

Medicinal treatments are also one of the most profound aspects of Chinese medicine, and the management of Yang deficiency is no exception.

Dietary management of Yang deficiency, generally we divided into ordinary dietary management, medicinal dietary management and medicinal tea management.

1. Common dietary regimen:

For people with a yang deficiency constitution can consume more food that warms and replenishes spleen and kidney yang qi, including lychee, durian, cherry, cinnamon, chestnut, jujubes, walnuts, mutton, dog meat, leeks and so on;

Avoid or minimize bitter, cold and cold foods, including grapefruit, bananas, watermelon, melon, loquats, green beans and purple cabbage.

And, try not to eat vegetables raw.

2. Medicinal dietary regimen:

Yang deficiency physique of medicinal dietary regulation can be used in the classic angelica ginger mutton soup (one catty of mutton, angelica ginger appropriate amount) stew consumption.

3. Medicinal tea conditioning:

Medicinal tea conditioning is also the most common, such as antler milk, composed of appropriate amount of milk, antler gelatin a little, honey, etc., the practice is to put the milk into the pot to join the boil before adding the prepared antler gelatin, and then heat over a small fire, the process of continuous stirring, the antler gel completely melted quite after the fire, cool to the right temperature, add the right amount of honey, drink.


Four seasons of Yang deficiency body conditioning

As the saying goes, "spring and summer to nourish the sun, fall and winter to nourish the yin", so in the treatment at the same time, you can lie down at night and get up early in the spring and summer seasons, and appropriate to sweat as good as strenuous with figuring out.

In the fall and winter, you can lie down early and get up late, and it is better to move than to stay still, and practice Baduanjin, taijiquan or whatever outdoors.

Chinese medicine also believes that winter disease summer treatment, so in the summer pay attention to health, to do regular life, appropriate exercise, smooth emotions and so on.

In short, as long as their physical Yang deficiency, we must find ways to enhance their own body Yang Qi, slowly work themselves into a body of invulnerability, invulnerable to all poisons, then what external evil are not afraid of.

Follow me, with a rigorous attitude, science and health; with love, to convey happiness.

From the questioner's question, we can see that this is a problem that belongs to the scope of Chinese medicine, ""Yang deficiency"" only belongs to Chinese medicine, so in order to understand Chinese medicine, we have to first understand the yin and yang, so what is yin and yang?

A lot of people listen to yin and yang, feel special mysterious, mysterious and mysterious, in fact, this is a kind of misunderstanding of Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine comes from nature comes from science, more grounded. So what is yin and yang? We can understand it by looking at these two characters: "yang" means when the sun comes out, and "yin" means when the moon comes out, and the "semi-finish" on the left side of these two characters is horizontal. The word "山" (mountain) means "daytime" when the sun comes out of the mountain, and "阴" means nighttime when the moon comes out of the mountain. Do we who live on land feel this way when we watch the sunrise?

So the daytime belongs to Yang and the nighttime belongs to Yin; the daytime temperature is high, so the warmth belongs to Yang, and the nighttime temperature is low, so the coldness belongs to Yin; the daytime nature is very lively, all kinds of birds and beasts start to be active, and people start to work, so the active belongs to Yang, and the nighttime nature is peaceful, birds and beasts return to their nests, and people start to sleep and rest, so the quiet belongs to Yin;

The warmth of nature belongs to yang, such as fire, the cold of nature belongs to yin, such as water; out of the active, called yang, within the guard belongs to the peace, called yin, for the ancient times, men go out to hunt, plowing belongs to the out, so men belong to the yang, the woman guards the home to watch the children weaving clothes, so women belong to the yin, the woman is also known as the "inner man! Women were also called "inner man", and that's how they came to be. Now we understand the yin and yang, then what Yang deficiency? It is necessary to understand what is "false", false is the meaning of less, which is relative to the "real", for example, false heart, that is, to empty the heart to receive more things, so called false heart to receive; rural areas are also commonly used The word "false" is also commonly used in rural areas to mean less, for example, to put the sack to fill the porcelain point, do not be so false, so the "false" is "less" means.

The balance of yin and yang is the balance of yin and yang, no more and no less, such as day and night, although the specific to a season, may be long day (for example, the summer day is long and the night is short), but throughout the year is balanced, for example, in winter, the day is short (day is short and the night is long). Nature is like this, so is man, man is a product of nature, man only adapted to nature, in order to obtain physical health, this is called "survival of the fittest", if contrary to the laws of nature, that is not adapted to nature, will get sick, and ultimately get sick and die, this is called "survival of the fittest". This is called "survival of the fittest".

The human body also has yin and yang, for example, the human body has a body temperature of about 37 ℃, so the body temperature belongs to the yang, when people are alive is called to live in the yang world, after death there is no body temperature, so that the Chinese people will be people after death to go to the place called "netherworld". The fluids that flow like water in the human body, such as blood, lymphatic fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, joint lubricating fluid, etc., all belong to yin; this is the yin and yang of the human body.

Yang deficiency is that there is less yang, then there is less yang, the balance is upset, the relative yin appears to be more, so that the cold appears to be more, so that a person with yang deficiency怕冷In the winter, other people wear a cotton coat to get through the winter, while people with yang deficiency have to wear more. In summer, when they are in the same office and the air conditioner is turned on, other people feel comfortable, while people with yang deficiency who are afraid of the cold have to wear thicker clothes to feel comfortable, or they will turn off the air conditioner to feel good;

In addition to being afraid of the cold, a person with yang deficiency is notbrighten up, doesn't want to move and is passive, doesn't want to be involved in anything collectively and is rather apathetic;

Yang deficiency of the body's physiological state is also relatively low, the body's metabolism is relatively slow, biochemical reactions are also the same slower, such as the basal body temperature is also low, the face is also relatively pale, speaking voice penetration is also insufficient, and if you observe their urine and feces, you will find that the stools are more unshapely, the urine is clear and long (like the state of the river in winter) (the Yellow River in winter is clear, and the Yellow River in summer is mixed).


Therefore, through the above analysis, we also have a clear understanding of what is Yang deficiency, Yang deficiency people will have what performance, of course, can also be simple to determine whether they are Yang deficiency.

Combined with the manifestation of yang deficiency, in fact, some Western medicine diseases can be summarized into the category of yang deficiency, such as hypothyroidism, hypoadrenocorticism, and rheumatoid arthritis, etc. In fact, depression can be attributed to the manifestation of yang deficiency. So when we see the doctor with the body to show the symptoms correspond to the yin and yang, you can roughly determine belongs to the yang deficiency or not.

"Doctor, do you think I have yin or yang deficiency?", "Doctor, I've been having a lot of problems lately, but I don't know what to do. "Doctor, I recently 'apricot' life time is getting shorter and shorter, is not the kidney yang deficiency ah?" And so on. However, the people don't always really understand Yang deficiency.

Chinese medicine: Yang has warm limbs, internal organs and other warming effect, and Yang deficiency is Yang deficiency.
