Yin in TCM cools and moistens the body. When depleted, internal heat rises, leading to dryness and restlessness, even if you look fine on the outside.
Signs on the tongue:
▫️ Red or peeled appearance
▫️ Thin shape
▫️ Central cracks
▫️ Dry surface, little to no coating
💡 You may experience dry mouth (especially at night), insomnia, hot flashes, or night sweats.
🌿 Support Yin with moistening foods like pears, tofu, black sesame, and yin-nourishing herbs such as shu di huang or mai men d**g, as advised by your TCM guide.
