Symptoms of Yang deficiency

1. Fear of cold, and cold limbs. This is the most important symptom of yang deficiency. Yang Energy is like the sun in nature. If the Yang Energy is insufficient, the body's internal environment will be in a "cold" state.

2. Diarrhea and indigestion. It refers to undigested food mixed in the stool. The ancients had a vivid metaphor to describe the occurrence of this phenomenon. The digestion of food is like cooking raw rice into cooked rice, the stomach is like a cooking pot, and the yang energy is like the fire used for cooking. Without "fire", rice cannot be cooked into "rice". Therefore, when the Yang Qi is insufficient, the food that enters the stomach cannot be well "roasted" (digested) and is directly discharged from the intestines.

3. Lack of spirit and insufficient Yang energy cause the decline of cellular vital activities, resulting in lethargy and laziness.

4. The tongue is pale and fat, or has tooth marks. The consumption and metabolism of water in the body depends on the transpiration of Yang Qi. If the Yang Qi is weak and the water is insufficiently consumed by evaporation, excess water will accumulate in the body, causing an enlarged tongue. The tongue is enlarged and has tooth marks due to being squeezed by the teeth. A fat and large tongue is a typical tongue image of yang deficiency

5. The pulse is deep, thin and weak. It indicates that the Yang Qi is insufficient and cannot stimulate the arteries.

6. People with Yang deficiency constitution also often suffer from frequent urination at night, enuresis, and clear urine. Frequent urination at night in the elderly is a normal aging of Yang Qi. If children wet the bed, or middle-aged and young people often urinate at night, it is a sign of Yang deficiency. Be careful not to eat too much cold and frozen food, and try to use less antibiotics and Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxification to protect the yang energy. 7. Yang deficiency constitution is mainly related to the relative deficiency of original yang (kidney yang) in the kidney. The kidneys control reproduction, bones, and the evaporation of fluid in the lower abdomen. Therefore, people with yang deficiency will experience decreased libido, frigidity, or pain in the heels, waist, and legs, and swelling of the lower limbs at an early stage.

8. Female yang deficiency can cause uterine coldness, dysmenorrhea, small and delayed menstruation, amenorrhea, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian cysts and other symptoms, resulting in infertility, miscarriage or premature birth.

10. Common symptoms of yang deficiency in men include decreased libido, impotence, premature ejaculation, spermatorrhea, and prostatitis.

11. People with yang deficiency constitution often have sparse hair, dark circles under their eyes, and dark lips. Because the kidneys control bones and produce marrow, their beauty is in the hair. The kidneys store essence, essence produces blood, and blood nourishes the hair.
