What’s wrong with women’s Yin deficiency?

Generally speaking, the causes of yin deficiency in women are mostly due to three reasons: long-term excessive fatigue, inadequate nutrition, and irregular menstruation. Therefore, as a woman, you must pay more attention to your body, try to reduce the pressure on yourself, pay attention to the nutritional combination in your diet, participate in more small activities to relieve stress, regulate your menstruation, and do appropriate exercise.

1. People with Yin deficiency should always remind themselves to calm their minds and maintain a stable mentality. They should also learn to divert negative emotions in time. In daily work, avoid arguing with others over non-principle issues to reduce anger, and avoid participating in entertainment activities that involve competing for victory or defeat. It is appropriate to rest in the countryside and stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

2. Drugs for replenishing yin deficiency include raw rehmannia, ophiopogon japonicus, polygonatum odoratum, pearl powder, tremella, cordyceps sinensis, dendrobium, tortoise shell, etc. You can use products that nourish yin, clear heat, and nourish the liver and kidneys, such as Ligustrum lucidum, Cornus officinalis, Schisandra chinensis, Eclipta prostrata, Ophiopogon japonicus, Asparagus cochinchinensis, Polygonatum sibiricum, Polygonatum odoratum, and Lycium barbarum. Commonly used prescriptions include Liuwei Dihuang Pills, Dabuyin Pills, etc. If the lungs are deficient in yin, it is advisable to take Lily Solidifying Gold Soup. If you have heart yin deficiency, you should take Tianwang Buxin Pills. If the spleen is deficient in yin, it is advisable to take Shenrou Yangzhen Decoction. If you have kidney yin deficiency, you should take Liuwei Pills. If you have liver yin deficiency, you should take Yi Guan Jian.

3. Foods that replenish yin deficiency include soft-shelled turtle, bird's nest, lily, duck meat, black fish, jellyfish, lotus root, enoki mushroom, wolfberry, water chestnut, raw pear, etc. You can choose to take them alternately frequently.

4. People with Yin deficiency should avoid eating pepper and cinnamon. Eat less dog meat, mutton, sparrow meat, seahorse, sea dragon, deer meat, rice crust, fried peanuts, fried soybeans, fried melon seeds, popcorn, lychee, longan meat, bergamot, bayberry, garlic, leek, mustard greens, chili, leek, ginger, amomum, piper longum, cardamom, Sichuan pepper, white cardamom, anise, cumin, cloves, mint, white wine, cigarettes, red ginseng, Cistanche deserticola, Cynomorium songaricum, etc.

5. Take high-quality large red dates, remove the core and fry them in a pan until they are slightly charred, then soak them in water and drink one cup a day. It is not easy to feel greasy or get irritated.

6. Eat more animal liver, pancreas, meat, shellfish, milk, grains, beans, potatoes, vegetables, brown sugar, eggs, dairy products, fish, crab, cabbage, spinach, leek, celery, carrot, pumpkin, sweet potato, dried pepper, tomato, grain germ, egg yolk, nuts, vegetable oil, chicken, wheat germ, oatmeal, bread, margarine, peanuts, sesame, fresh dates, and fruit.

7. Eat less spicy food and don’t stay up late. Maintain this for a long time. Don’t think that you can make up for the lack of sleep at night by sleeping during the day. This idea is wrong because many organs only rest and detoxify at night.

8. Pay more attention to exercise in daily life. Tai Chi is recommended because Tai Chi is a slow exercise with the waist as the pivot. Most patients with kidney deficiency have weak waists. Through the practice of Tai Chi, they can achieve the effect of "self-massage of the waist". Rub your palms together until they feel warm, then place them on your waist and massage up and down until you feel warm. Once in the morning and once in the evening, about 200 times each time.
