Yin deficiency: A cooling guide for hot flashes, dryness, and night sweats.
What Is Yin Deficiency?
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Yin is the "water of the body" — the fluids that cool, moisten, and stabilize. When it is deficient, the body experiences excess internal heat, dryness, and anxiety. This is not external heat, but rather "fire without water."
