The spleen is the foundation of acquired constitution, the source of Qi and blood production, and controls blood throughout the body. The liver is the organ that stores blood and regulates blood supply throughout the body. The liver and spleen are damaged, and their functions of producing, regulating and storing blood are impaired, resulting in blood deficiency. Blood deficiency cannot control Yang, leading to fever in the five hearts.

4. Feeling hot

People with yin deficiency and internal heat often feel a burning sensation in their bodies, their faces easily turn red, they like to eat cold drinks, do not like to cover themselves with quilts in summer, and especially like the cool feeling. According to traditional Chinese medicine, this is due to the loss of yin fluid in the body, which makes water unable to eliminate fire, thus leading to excessive internal heat.
