The main manifestations are insufficient liver yin and fluid, poor nourishment, and poor digestion and absorption.

2. Stomach Yin Deficiency

The main manifestations of insufficient stomach yin are mostly caused by long-term stomach diseases, or failure to restore yin fluid in the middle and late stages of heat syndrome, or a preference for spicy food, or emotional upset, which causes qi stagnation and fire to lead to deficiency of stomach yin.
