Patients with liver and kidney yin deficiency can appropriately consume abalone. The presence of liver and kidney yin deficiency usually indicates excessive deficient fire, which may lead to abnormal symptoms such as tidal fever, night sweats, and heat in the five centers (palms, soles, and chest). Consuming abalone in moderation is beneficial for kidney and overall health. Additionally, patients may choose to take medications such as Liuwei Dihuang Pills or Zhibai Dihuang Pills under a doctor's guidance to improve their condition.
