The regulation of Yin deficiency with hyperactivity of Fire mainly includes the following aspects: 1. Dietary adjustment: Consume in moderation sweet, cool, moistening foods that nourish Yin and clear heat, such as snow pear, honeysuckle tea, old duck soup, and lily bulb, tremella, and lotus seed porridge. These foods help reduce internal heat and nourish Yin, thus alleviating symptoms of Yin deficiency with Fire hyperactivity. At the same time, avoid consuming spicy, greasy, and irritating foods, such as tobacco, alcohol, chili peppers, and coffee, to prevent exacerbating the condition. 2. Lifestyle management: Maintain a regular作息 schedule and avoid staying up late or overexertion. Engage in appropriate physical activities, such as walking or jogging, to promote metabolism and sweating, which helps expel excessive internal heat. Additionally, maintain emotional stability and avoid negative emotions such as excessive anxiety and tension. 3. Herbal regulation: Under a physician's guidance, take herbs that nourish Yin and reduce Fire hyperactivity, such as Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan (Rehmannia Six with Phellodendron and Coptis), Da Bu Yin Wan (Major Yin Nourishing Pill), and Qi Ju Di Huang Wan (Lycium and Chrysanthemum Rehmannia Six). These formulas have the effect of nourishing Yin and reducing Fire, helping to alleviate symptoms associated with Yin deficiency with Fire hyperactivity.
