Traditional Chinese medicine believes: "Wherever yin and yang are important, yang secretion is the key." When your Yang Qi is in a solid (full) state, you can achieve a healthy state of Yin, Ping and Yang.
All organs of the human body, food eaten, and various nutrients belong to Yin. Therefore, Yang Qi can only be nourished but cannot be replenished.
Insufficient yang energy is susceptible to five ailments
1. Cold hands and feet
Yang deficiency results in external cold. The biggest characteristic of people with yang deficiency is cold hands and feet. This is because the ends of the limbs do not receive the warmth of Yang Qi and have poor blood circulation.
The more severe the deficiency, the lower the temperature of the hands and feet. People with severe symptoms will feel cold below the knees and below the elbows.
2. Afraid of cold and wind
If Yang Qi is sufficient, the body's functional status will be full. If Yang Qi is insufficient, the heat produced by the deficiency will be insufficient, and the ability to withstand external cold will also be poor.
People like this usually wear more clothes than others, are heat-resistant but not cold-resistant, and have low body temperature all year round.
They are afraid of wind blowing on their heads and cold backs, but they rarely get sick. High fevers are often low-grade fevers. They feel very uncomfortable when the temperature reaches 37°C, and it is not easy to take antipyretics.
3. Frequent colds and coughs
There is a saying in "Huangdi Neijing": "When evil winds come, they are as fast as wind and rain." This means that when the unhealthy energy of the four seasons invades the human body, it is as fast as wind and rain, making it difficult for people to guard against it.
When people with sufficient yang energy get sick, their symptoms may seem serious, but they come and go quickly; while people with yang deficiency have mild symptoms and recover slowly.
4, Allergic rhinitis
Allergic rhinitis, also called allergic rhinitis in Western medicine. It usually manifests as sneezing continuously in the early morning, ranging from a few to more than a dozen, and sneezing at any time after exposure to allergens.
What's even more embarrassing is that these people will have a lot of watery nasal discharge when they don't have a cold, and sometimes they may drip from their nostrils unconsciously.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this is insufficient righteousness, cold evil invading the surface, and stagnation in the nose. It is mainly related to the deficiency of the lungs, spleen, and kidneys. The inducement is mostly the excessive use of air conditioners.
5, Stomach cold , Stomach pain , Diarrhea
Some people are particularly prone to feeling cold in the stomach. When they catch a cold or eat something cold, they get stomach pain , diarrhea, and usually have unformed stools. This is caused by yang deficiency and insufficient spleen yang.
The spleen and stomach are the "logistics department" of the five internal organs. If the spleen yang is insufficient and the ability of transportation and transformation is poor, the qi of the spleen and stomach cannot continuously support the five internal organs, and eventually the yang qi will become increasingly deficient.
Therefore, you should not be greedy for cold, eat too much cold food, and do not use antibiotics indiscriminately, as this will damage Yang Qi.
People with yang deficiency constitution will be afraid of the cold even in midsummer. To improve the symptoms of cold sensitivity, in addition to conditioning the body and increasing the amount of exercise, the seasoning cinnamon can be appropriately added to the daily diet and cooking.
