What is “Yang Deficiency and Internal Cold (陽虛內寒)”?

In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the concept of “Yang Deficiency and Internal Cold” is a diagnosis. In TCM, the body’s constitution is divided into two types: Yang and Yin. Yang represents the body’s vitality and heat, while Yin represents the body’s decline and coldness. “Yang Deficiency and Internal Cold” refers to a situation where Yang is insufficient and there is cold inside the body. This condition can often lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and illness. In TCM treatment, “Yang Deficiency and Internal Cold” is usually treated by adjusting lifestyle, taking medicine, or undergoing acupuncture.

It’s important to note that TCM diagnosis and treatment are not recognized by mainstream Western medicine and should not be used as a substitute for medical advice from a licensed healthcare professional. If you have concerns about your health, it’s best to consult a doctor.
