CORE DEFINITION

Yin damage affects Yang, and Yang damage affects Yin. Long-term Yin deficiency leads to Yang Qi having no basis and becoming deficient (Yin deficiency edema); long-term Yang deficiency leads to Yin fluid failing to transform and becoming depleted (Yang deficiency emaciation).

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Joint bankruptcy. Yin and Yang are not independent. If one side is depleted for too long, the other side will also be dragged down. In the later stages of chronic disease treatment, it is often necessary to 'tonify both Yin and Yang' because one side alone can no longer support.

anchor

Anchor fast decisions

Yin and Yang are mutually rooted; if one side is deficient for a long time, it will inevitably affect the other, eventually resulting in dual deficiency of Yin and Yang. This is the common pattern of transmission in deficiency syndromes.

MINIMUM ACTION

In progress 0/3

Practice this model in one real situation:

Understand that deficiency can affect both sides bidirectionally (Yin damage affecting Yang, Yang damage affecting Yin)
when regulating and supplementing, consider both Yin and Yang
the physician determines the priority based on the predominance of deficiency.
