| Etiology |
| The yang excess pattern can be attributed to three main factors. Firstly, it may arise from an exopathogenic factor invading the body, wherein it transforms inward and generates heat. Secondly, improper dietary habits, such as excessive consumption of spicy and pungent foods, alcohol, or the overuse of hot property herbs and medications can lead to this pattern. Thirdly, some individuals possess an inherent constitution with a predisposition towards hyperactivity of the yang qi within the zàng fǔ organs. Additionally, prolonged emotional stress can induce stagnation of qi, potentially culminating in the development of excess heat. [32] |
