Symptoms of Qi Yang Deficiency

Fear of cold, cold limbs: This is the main symptom of Yang deficiency. Yang Qi is like the sun in nature. If Yang Qi is insufficient, the internal environment will be in a "cold" state.

End of the valley does not change: refers to the stool mixed with undigested food. The ancients have an image metaphor for this phenomenon. The digestion of food is like cooking raw rice. The stomach is like cooking pot, while Yang Qi is like cooking fire. Without "fire", rice cannot be cooked into "rice". Therefore, when Yang Qi is insufficient, the food entering the stomach can not be well "decomposed" (digested), but directly discharged from the intestine.

Tongue light and fat, or tooth marks: the consumption and metabolism of water in the body depends on the transpiration of Yang Qi. If the Yang Qi declines and the transpiration of water is insufficient, the excess water will accumulate in the body, leading to the enlargement of the tongue. The tongue body is fat and large, and tooth marks appear due to the extrusion of teeth.
