Chinese medicine believes that prolonged illness damages the yin. Many chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, menopausal syndrome and a series of diseases have different degrees of yin deficiency.Nourishing yin and tonifying deficiency is an important principle in the conditioning of such chronic diseases.
In autumn and winter, when everything converges, it can be used to warm up the five internal organs (the five internal organs belong to yin) to improve the constitution of yin deficiency, collect the yin essence in the body, make the essence gas cohesive, and nourish the five internal organs.
中医认为，久病伤阴。许多慢性疾病，如糖尿病、甲亢、高血压、慢性肾病、更年期综合征等一系列疾病均有不同程度的阴虚表现，养阴补虚是这类慢性疾病调理的重要原则。
秋冬之时，万物收敛，可用温补五脏（五脏属阴）来改善阴虚体质，收藏体内阴精，使精气内聚，润养五脏。
