Dr. He Haochen
Women with yin deficiency and excessive internal heat may experience symptoms such as dry mouth and throat, irritability, insomnia, tidal fever, and night sweats. To manage yin deficiency and excessive heat, adjustments should begin with lifestyle and diet:
1. Dietary adjustment: Eat more foods that nourish yin and reduce heat, such as lily bulbs, lotus seeds, tremella, pears, wolfberries, turtle meat, and duck meat. Avoid spicy, fried, or barbecued foods, which may aggravate internal heat.
2. Adequate rest: Ensure sufficient sleep and avoid staying up late, as this may further deplete yin fluids.
3. Appropriate exercise: Moderate exercises such as yoga and tai chi can help maintain yin-yang balance; however, excessive physical activity that causes heavy sweating should be avoided.
4. Hydration: Drink plenty of water to maintain the body's fluid balance and relieve symptoms such as dry mouth and throat.
5. Emotional well-being: Maintain a calm and positive mood, avoiding excessive anxiety or stress, as emotional fluctuations can also affect yin fluids.
If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly.
