Introduction
If an individual has mild yin deficiency with hyperactive fire, mainly manifested as symptoms such as qi and blood deficiency, palpitations, and insomnia, they may take Yuling膏 (Yuling Paste) as directed by a physician. However, if the yin deficiency with hyperactive fire is severe, accompanied by pronounced heat symptoms such as dry mouth, sore throat, and swollen throat, Yuling膏 should not be consumed. This is because the ginseng ingredient in Yuling膏 has a warming nature, which may exacerbate internal heat.
Generally speaking, Yuling Paste is a traditional Chinese medicinal diet formula. Whether patients with yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire can consume Yuling Paste depends on the severity of their condition. If the condition is mild, patients can usually take Yuling Paste; however, if the condition is severe, it is not recommended. Should any discomfort occur, prompt medical attention is advised. The specific analysis is as follows:
If the patient's condition is mild, primarily manifesting symptoms such as deficiency of qi and blood, palpitations, and insomnia, Yuling Paste may be taken under medical guidance. As a traditional Chinese medicinal diet formula, Yuling Paste has effects of calming the mind, nourishing the blood, and boosting qi.
However, if the yin deficiency with fire hyperactivity is severe and accompanied by pronounced heat symptoms such as dry mouth, sore throat, and swollen throat, Yuling Paste should be avoided. This is because the ginseng ingredient in Yuling Paste has a warm and heating nature, which may exacerbate internal heat and worsen symptoms.
In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary regulation, emphasizing light and easily digestible foods to promote recovery.
