Hong Kong people have a stressful urban life. Long working hours, stress, inadequate sleep are common problems working people face every day. Forget about having fun eating with friends after work because a heavy dinner with beer or wine can make you feel even more exhausted. Do you often feel a lack of energy when exercising or even simply walking up stairs? These are all signs of yin deficiency. If yin deficiency comes together with thirst, mouth dryness, a hoarse voice, hot flashes, fatigue, very yellow urine or constipation, then most probably you are experiencing hyperactivity of fire due to yin deficiency.
