1, the key point of judging yang deficiency
1, afraid of cold: limbs are not warm. This is the most important symptom of yang deficiency. Yang is like the sun in nature. Without it, the internal environment would be "cold".
2, the grain is unchanged: it refers to undigested food mixed in the stool. The ancients had an image metaphor for this phenomenon. The digestion of food is like cooking raw rice into cooked rice, the stomach is like a cooking pot, and the yang is like a cooking fire. Rice can't be cooked without fire. Therefore, when the yang is insufficient, the food entering the stomach cannot be "decomposed" (digested) well and directly discharged from the intestine.
3, lack of spirit: lack of yang, cell life activities decline, so it is listless and lazy.
4, the tongue is light and fat, or there are teeth marks: the consumption and metabolism of water in the body depends on the transpiration of yang. If the yang is weak and the transpiration consumption of water and liquid is insufficient, too much water will accumulate in the body, resulting in a fat tongue. The tongue is fat, and teeth marks will appear when it is squeezed by teeth.
5, pulse sinking: Yang deficiency, blood vessels can not be encouraged, so pulse sinking is weak.
2. Health care methods
Diet and health care: Yang deficiency should be properly eaten with some foods that warm the kidney and strengthen yang. Mutton, pork belly, chicken, hairtail, dog meat, sparrow meat, venison, eel, shrimp (lobster, prawn, freshwater shrimp, river shrimp, etc. ), sword beans, walnuts, chestnuts, leeks, fennel, etc. These foods can nourish the five internal organs, replenish the marrow and strengthen the body. In terms of eating habits, don't overeat cold products even in midsummer.
You can also choose a medicated diet that suits you, such as stewed duck with Cordyceps sinensis: 30g walnuts, 60g chestnuts, an old duck, and appropriate seasonings such as yellow wine, ginger, onion and salt. Take out the viscera of the old duck, rinse it after treatment, put it in a boiling water pot and take it out. Wash walnuts and chestnuts, put them into duck belly, tie them with thread, put them into a big bowl, add yellow wine and water and other related condiments, and stew for about 2 hours. It can tonify kidney and essence, nourish yin and strengthen yang. It is suitable for asthenia, cough and asthma, soreness of waist and knees, impotence and nocturnal emission, spontaneous sweating and night sweats, and physical weakness after illness.
Drug health care: There are many Chinese medicines for tonifying yang. Commonly used traditional Chinese medicines for health care can be velvet antler, seal kidney, Cordyceps sinensis, Cistanche deserticola, Psoralea corylifolia, Eucommia ulmoides, Semen Cuscutae, Semen Astragali Complanati, Achyranthis Radix, Semen Euryales, Rubus, Rhizoma Curculiginis, Herba Epimedii, Flos Caryophylli, etc. You can choose an aphrodisiac prescription that suits you. Those with kidney-yang deficiency can choose Jinkui Shenqi Pill and Quanlu Pill, while those with spleen-yang deficiency can choose Lizhong Pill or Fuzi Lizhong Pill; People with deficiency of both spleen and kidney can choose to nourish kidney qi.
Life health care: Yang deficiency constitution has poor ability to adapt to changes in cold and summer. In severe winter, we should avoid cold and warm it, and take some corresponding health care measures. You can also follow the principle of "nourishing Yang in spring and summer". Pay attention to diet, medicine and other aspects in spring and summer, cultivate and supplement yang with the help of natural yang, or insist on air bath or sunbathing. Livable
Sit in a house facing south, don't sleep outdoors or in a house with a big temperature difference, so as not to catch cold and get sick. In sports, because of my physical strength, I choose suitable sports, such as walking, jogging, Tai Ji Chuan, Wuqinxi, Baduanjin and so on.
