The so-called constitution with yin deficiency refers to the constitution with insufficient yin fluid (such as blood deficiency, body fluid deficiency and yin essence deficiency), which is characterized by emaciation, pale face or flushing, dry mouth and throat, restless mood, frequent heart fever in hands and feet, little sleep, dry stool, yellow urine, dislike of cold drinks in spring and summer, and rapid pulse. The health preserving method is as follows:
1. Strengthen mental conditioning: people with yin deficiency constitution are impatient and often upset and irritable. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this is the reason why yin deficiency and fire are flourishing and fire disturbs the gods. In particular, we should follow the "nothing is static" (the spirit is free, no distractions) and "the spirit is hidden inside" (referring to the attitude that the human body stays inside and does not dissipate outside) in Huangdi Neijing. We should strengthen self-discipline at ordinary times and consciously develop the habit of being calm. In life and work, in order to reduce anger, we should fight less with others on unprincipled issues, and in order to win or lose, we should take less part in recreational activities.
2. Pay attention to the environment: because these people are thin and thin, thin and angry, they often have fever in their hands and feet, dry mouth and throat, often fear heat and like cold, winter cold is easy to pass, and summer heat is uncomfortable. Therefore, every hot summer, we should pay attention to the summer vacation and travel to the seaside and mountains if possible.
"Nourishing Yin in autumn and winter" is an important principle of traditional Chinese medicine in autumn and winter, especially for people with yin deficiency, because the dry climate in autumn is more likely to hurt Yin. At the same time, we should pay attention to the quiet environment, and it is best to live in a house facing south.
3. In terms of diet, we should follow the principle of protecting yin and suppressing yang, eat more light and nourishing foods, such as sesame, glutinous rice, honey, dairy products, sugar cane, vegetables, tofu, fish, etc., and deliberately eat Adenophora adenophora porridge, lily porridge, wolfberry porridge, mulberry porridge, yam porridge, etc. Those with better economic conditions can eat bird's nest, tremella, sea cucumber, mussel, nail fish, nail fish and stewed duck with cordyceps. For onions, ginger, garlic, leeks, onions and peppers, eat less spicy and dry products.
4. In terms of physical exercise, don't engage in excessive activities, mainly to regulate liver and kidney functions. Taiji Chuan, Baduanjin and Leymus chinensis are more suitable. Qigong should strengthen essence, protect health and prolong life, focusing on pharynx and body fluid.
5. Pay attention to drug health care: If people with yin deficiency constitution have no obvious effect by using the above various health care methods, it is necessary to strengthen drug health care. Products such as Ligustrum lucidum, Fructus Corni, Fructus Schisandrae Chinensis, Eclipta prostrata, Radix Ophiopogonis, Radix Asparagi, Rhizoma Polygonati, Radix Scrophulariae, Fructus Lycii, Mulberry and Carapax et Plastrum Testudinis can be used to nourish yin and clear heat. If you like to use Chinese patent medicine, Liuwei Dihuang Pill and Dabuyin Pill are often the first choice. Due to the difference of yin deficiency constitution, kidney yin deficiency, liver yin deficiency and lung yin deficiency, the medication should be adjusted and supplemented with the position and degree of yin deficiency. If lung yin deficiency, you should take Lily Gujin Pill; Those with heart yin deficiency should take Tianwang Buxin Pill; Shen rou yang Zhen Tang should be used for spleen deficiency and yin deficiency; People with kidney yin deficiency should take six flavors of yellow rice wine; People with liver yin deficiency should take consistent decoction. Qin Bomo, a famous late Chinese medicine practitioner, has long advocated taking Shouwu Yanshou Dan. He thinks this medicine has four advantages: no tonic, no satiety, no chills and no irritation. After taking it, it can stimulate appetite, sleep well and relax the spirit, which is worth adopting.
