Doctor's answer:
Thirst is a common clinical symptom, especially more prevalent in individuals with chronic diseases for a long time and those with weak constitutions. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that thirst is often caused by the deficiency of both qi and yin, which cannot effectively regulate and retain sweat. If thirst persists for an extended period without improvement, it can further deplete qi and yin, harming overall health.Recommendations: Adopting dietary therapy methods can not only comprehensively prevent and treat but also invigorate qi and nourish yin.
