1. What is Qi and Yin deficiency constitution?

Yin deficiency constitution refers to a constitution in which the functions of the five internal organs are unbalanced, resulting in insufficient Yin in the body (deficiency of substances that make up the body, such as blood, body fluids, and Yin essence), and symptoms of Yin deficiency causing internal heat, which are often manifested as thin body, red cheeks, hot hands and feet, dry skin, dry hair, dry mouth, thirst, preference for cold food or drinks, love to drink plenty of water but still feel dry mouth; feeling hot and afraid of cold all over the body, long-term constipation or dry stool, and less and dark urine.

People with Yin deficiency have an impatient temperament and are often upset and irritable. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this is because Yin deficiency leads to excessive fire, which disturbs the spirit. In particular, we should follow the mysterious secrets of peace of mind and tranquility as stated in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine: "tranquility and emptiness" (the mind is calm, without selfish thoughts) and "spirit within" (the body and spirit should be kept within, without losing balance with the outside world). Usually we should improve our personal cultivation and actively cultivate the habit of being rational and calm.
