The yang of the elderly is gradually weakening, and the age factor is inevitable for anyone. Therefore, the old people's low back pain, nocturia and fear of cold are signs of aging, not diseases.
Yang deficiency constitution is also related to the working environment. For example, in the past, women workers in canneries washed cans for a long time and their hands were always immersed in cold water; There are also miners, workers in frozen warehouses of meat processing plants, etc. After working in a cold and humid environment for a lifetime, it is easy to show obvious yang deficiency constitution in middle-aged and elderly people.

Hair easily falls off, leading to premature baldness. People with yang deficiency in the body have shallow sleep and are easy to wake up. Poor sleep may be the cause of common obesity and dark circles in yang deficiency constitution.
Dark circles not only affect people's appearance, but also give people a feeling of bad spirit and illness, which will "damage beauty". Before treating diseases that damage beauty, we should ask four questions: ask menstruation, ask stool, ask sleep and ask mood. These four questions can basically ask where the root of the problem lies. In treatment, it is mainly to adjust stool, menstruation, sleep and mood. When encountering insomnia at ordinary times, most people consider deficiency of both heart, spleen and blood, hyperactivity of fire due to yin deficiency, disharmony of stomach, restlessness, or deficiency of yang leading to stagnation of yin. If you have poor sleep due to yang deficiency, you can moxibustion Shenque (navel), Guanyuan and Zhongji points. And the effect is often good.

Therefore, in the treatment of rheumatoid disease, we should not only treat the disease itself, but also adjust the patient's physique and replenish yang and qi.
People with yang deficiency are prone to edema. Because of yang deficiency, water can't diffuse upward through yang transpiration, but flows downward, so it stagnates locally and forms edema, especially up and down the ankle joints of lower limbs.
For women with yang deficiency, dysmenorrhea, delayed menstruation and amenorrhea are common. Women with yang deficiency are very sensitive to the cold before menstruation. Even if they catch a cold before menstruation, taking some antibiotics, Qingkailing and antiviral oral liquid will cause obvious dysmenorrhea and delayed menstruation. If it's delayed for less than a week, it's generally unnecessary, but it's always delayed, 45 days this month, 50 days next month, and sometimes it doesn't come, so we need to pay close attention to treatment. Yang deficiency combined with irregular menstruation is easy to get cold in the uterus and difficult to get pregnant.
