Exuberant yáng damages yīn
阳盛阴伤 〔陽盛陰傷〕 yáng shèng yīn shāng
In the ebb and flow of yīn and yáng, excessively exuberant yáng heat invariably harms yīn-liquid. Exuberant qì-aspect heat is treated by engendering liquid with cold sweet medicinals; gastrointestinal heat bind is treated by swift precipitation to preserve yīn; exuberant provisioning-blood heat is treated by clearing provisioning and nourishing yīn, supported if necessary by cooling the blood and resolving toxin. Preventing damage to yīn is an important principle in the treatment of all patterns of excessively exuberant yáng heat.
