People with qi and yin deficiency, internal heat, cough, asthma and blood in sputum should pay attention!

The human body starts to consume energy day by day from the moment it is born. This mainly refers to the kidney energy, which is the innate foundation of the human body. This bit of energy is like a tank of gas, which is always less and less. Therefore, in this sense, compared to the absolute value at birth, "deficiency" is absolute, while not deficient is relative.

Internal heat

Internal heat is also called internal fire, which is a syndrome name in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is also called "endogenous heat". Refers to the heat caused by the excessive yin and yang of the internal organs. It is advisable to distinguish the real from the fake. Common symptoms include chest heat, hot flashes in the afternoon, fever in the five hearts, bitter taste in the mouth, and red urine. There are two types of fever: yang deficiency and yin deficiency. For example, Volume 1 of Ming Yi Za Zhu states: "Fever caused by internal injury is caused by the self-injury of yang qi, which cannot rise, and descends to yin to cause internal heat. This is yang deficiency, so the pulse is large and weak, and it belongs to the lung and spleen. Fever caused by yin deficiency is caused by the self-injury of yin blood, which cannot control fire, and the yang qi rises to cause internal heat. This is yang excess, so the pulse is rapid and weak, and it belongs to the heart and kidney.

When the human body is deficient in blood, body fluid, and primordial yin, or when it is overworked, suffering from long-term illness, massive blood loss, improper diet, or the torment of "fire (heat) evil" among the six external evil spirits, the liquid substances in the body are over-consumed and cannot be replenished in time, leading to the occurrence of internal fire.

Qi deficiency

The main manifestations of Qi deficiency are: shortness of breath, laziness to speak, general fatigue, low voice, shortness of breath when moving, easy sweating, dizziness and palpitations, sallow complexion, loss of appetite, false heat, spontaneous sweating, rectal prolapse, prolapse of the uterus, pale and fat tongue with teeth marks on the edges of the tongue, weak pulse, etc. These are manifestations of decreased function, not necessarily an illness, and people with Qi deficiency need to replenish Qi. Yin deficiency: also known as yin deficiency and fire, commonly known as virtual fire. The main manifestations of Yin deficiency are: fear of heat, irritability, heat in the cheeks, dry mouth and sore throat, dry stool, short red or yellow urine, tongue with little saliva, five hearts (two palms, two soles and the top of the head) are hot, night sweats, back pain, nocturnal emission and spermatorrhea, red tongue, thin or bare tongue coating, and thin and rapid pulse. When taking supplements, it is advisable to adopt methods such as replenishing yin, nourishing yin, and nourishing yin.

American ginseng has the dual effects of nourishing yin and qi, calming the mind and improving intelligence, as well as clearing away heat and promoting body fluid, and reducing fire and relieving heat. An old saying goes: "American ginseng is cool and tonic in nature. It can be used by anyone who wants to use ginseng but cannot tolerate its warmth." Therefore, the special feature of American ginseng is that it is nourishing without being dry.
