Quiz Outcomes

1.
Kidney Yin Deficiency
Kidney Yin Deficiency means the body’s fluids and essence (Jing)—which help to cool, hydrate, and support growth and reproduction—are weakened or depleted. It creates an internal heat or dryness because the Yin (cooling) is no longer balancing the Yang (warming) energy.
2.
Kidney Yang Deficiency
Kidney Yang is the body’s inner fire—it fuels warmth, energy, metabolism, sexual function, and circulation. When Yang is deficient, the body becomes cold, sluggish, and weak.
3.
Spleen Qi Deficiency
Spleen Qi Deficiency is a pattern in Chinese medicine where the spleen's energy is weakened, leading to symptoms like fatigue, poor appetite, bloating, loose stools, and difficulty concentrating. It's often linked to overthinking, poor diet, or chronic illness.
4.
Blood Deficiency
Blood Deficiency in Chinese medicine refers to an insufficient amount or quality of blood to nourish the body, often leading to symptoms like dizziness, dry skin, pale complexion, insomnia, and scanty menstruation. It’s commonly associated with overwork, poor diet, or chronic illness.
5.
Dampness
In Chinese medicine, Dampness refers to a pathogenic condition where excess fluid accumulates in the body, causing symptoms like bloating, heaviness, fatigue, and a feeling of sluggishness. It can result from poor diet, weak digestion (often due to Spleen Qi Deficiency), or living in a damp environment.
6.
Liver Qi Stagnation
Liver Qi Stagnation is a common pattern in Chinese medicine where the flow of liver energy becomes blocked, often due to stress or emotional tension. This can lead to symptoms like irritability, mood swings, PMS, bloating, and digestive issues.
7.
Heart Deficiency
Heart Deficiency in Chinese medicine refers to a weakness in the heart’s energy, blood, or yin, leading to symptoms such as insomnia, palpitations, anxiety, poor memory, and a pale or dull complexion. It often results from emotional stress, overwork, or chronic illness.
8.
Excess Heat
Excess Heat in Chinese medicine refers to a condition where too much heat or yang energy builds up in the body, often causing symptoms like red face, thirst, irritability, constipation, dark urine, and a rapid pulse. It can result from external pathogens, diet, or emotional stress.
9.
Balance
Balance in Chinese medicine refers to the harmonious state of Yin and Yang, Qi and Blood, and the organ systems. When balance is maintained, the body functions smoothly and health is preserved; imbalance leads to illness or discomfort.
