Traditional Chinese medicine believes that there are two concepts of void fire: one refers to the phenomenon of yin deficiency leading to fire; The second refers to the phenomenon of qi deficiency and fever, "true cold and false heat" that occurs in qi deficiency and yang deficiency. Yin deficiency has different situations such as yin deficiency of the five internal organs and loss of essence, blood and fluid, and yin deficiency means that yang energy is relatively excessive, rather than an absolute excess of yang energy, so although it is a common sign of fire and prosperity, it is actually caused by yin deficiency.

Yin deficiency causes the illusion of yang prosperity and manifests a series of heat signs, such as dry mouth and throat, dry throat, irritability, red cheeks, night sweats, insomnia, red tongue, no or little lichen, thin pulses, etc. ** It should be based on the principle of nourishing blood and nourishing yin and reducing fire.
