The mechanism of this constitution is due to insufficient vaginal fluid, loss of nutrition, and thin body, so it is easy to dry mouth and throat, dry nose, short tongue and thin pulse. At the same time, because yin does not control yang, yang-hot qi is relatively strong, resulting in internal heat, so it is characterized by fever in hands and feet, liking cold drinks, red tongue and rapid pulse. Yin deficiency, dryness and heat are abundant in the interior, so they are irritable, extroverted and active, and lively. Yin deficiency is insufficient for nourishing, and it is easy to suffer from yin deficiency and dryness-heat, or pathogenic factors are easy to change from heat. At ordinary times, she is resistant to winter, summer and summer-evil.
Huangdi Neijing said: "Yin deficiency generates internal heat." People with yin deficiency often have kidney yin deficiency, because kidney and liver are related to hormone secretion, nervous system, skeleton, reproduction and urinary system. Focus on nourishing liver, kidney, heart and lungs, and then nourishing yin to reduce fire, calming the nerves.
