Dr. He Haochen
Yin deficiency tidal fever is a common body condition in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), mainly manifested as body fever occurring at night or in the afternoon, often accompanied by symptoms such as irritability, insomnia, and night sweats. To manage yin deficiency tidal fever, it is important to regulate daily routines, ensure adequate sleep, and avoid staying up late in order to reduce consumption of body yin fluids. In terms of diet, one should consume more nourishing and moistening foods such as wolfberry, tremella fungus, and pears, while avoiding spicy and heat-inducing foods. Appropriate exercise, such as Tai Chi and yoga, can strengthen the constitution and harmonize yin and yang. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to consult a TCM practitioner for herbal treatment, such as Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Six Flavor Rehmannia Pill), to replenish yin fluids and balance the body's yin and yang. Managing yin deficiency tidal fever requires a comprehensive approach involving lifestyle adjustments, dietary changes, and medical treatment.
