Yin Deficiency and Nervousness

[Guest guest]

Yin Deficiency can result in a person being nervous and agitated.

 

Another term for Yin Deficiency is Deficiency Heat or Empty Heat. This is Heat

which is caused by the person lacking enough Yin energy. Excess Heat is caused

by there being too much of something - an infection, a blockage, too many spicy

foods, etc.

 

In Excess Heat the entire face will be red. In Deficiency Heat, only the cheeks

will be red or there will be red blotches all over the face (also called a malar

flush in some books.)

 

Night sweats are common in Yin Deficiency. The person feels too hot to

him/herself and dislikes heat, especially in the afternoons. The palms, soles,

and head may be hot.

 

Pure Yin Deficiency results in the person often being thirsty and desiring cold

drinks. The urine will be dark-colored and there is a tendency to constipation.

 

Body movements tend to be rapid and weak. Speech tends to be quiet but rapid..

The person apperars outgoing and is talkative, but also has a passive

appearance.

 

The tongue tissue is red, perhaps with fissures. The top coat may be absent, or

be very thin white to yellow. The absence of a coating may be due to Stomach Yin

Deficiency.

 

The pulse is weak or thready and rapid.

 

Fatigue will be present - as it is in all Deficiency conditions - but it may be

masked by the nervousness and agitation. In cases of Kidney Yin Deficiency,

both the agitation and the fatigue may be apparent since the Kidney Yin is the

foundation of Yin for the entire body.

 

These are the symptoms for pure Yin Deficiency. It is not uncommon for both

Yang and Yin Deficiency to exist at the same time, especially if the Kidneys are

in imbalance. In this case the symptom picture will be mixed. Symptom patterns

will be mixed in the case of Yang Deficiency and any kind of Heat (Excess or

Deficiency) in the body.
