Modern people work a lot, stay up late a lot, many people often have dizziness and tinnitus, insomnia and dreams, soreness in the waist and knees, night sweats, weight loss and other problems, all day long, depressed, feel that the body has reached the situation of "running out of oil and lamps".
In fact, as we age, the function of various organs in the body will gradually decline, which will lead to a shortage of yin fluid, and then the situation of yin deficiency will appear, which is a relatively common phenomenon, and there is no need to be suspicious and scare yourself.
Why are modern people more prone to yin deficiency?
"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing • Su Wen" mentions: "Long-term vision hurts blood, long-term lying hurts qi, long-term sitting hurts the flesh, long-standing hurts bones, and long-term walking hurts tendons, which is said to be injured by five labors." ”
Injuries caused by five labors, simply put, are all kinds of excessive behaviors and activities of the body will cause the body's internal organs to be weakened and its function will be reduced.
Essence and blood fluid is the material basis of life activities, and the function of the viscera is closely related to the generation and operation of qi, blood, and semen.
With the increase of age, the yin fluid of the human body is constantly consumed, which is easy to be damaged and difficult to recover, so "yin is often insufficient". So many people are in a state of yin deficiency.
