YIN DEFICIENCY & RASPBERRY, KUDZU,GINSENG, & GOJI BERRY

One of the most fundamental aspects of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is the concept of yin and yang. They are opposite but complementary forces that are essential in balance for optimal health. Too much or too little of either one can create problems in the body.

The literal translation of yin is “the shady side of the hill.” It is the cooling, moistening, restful, and feminine aspect of health. It is also too often neglected, though, in modern life.

WHAT IS YIN DEFICIENCY?

Most people live hectic, high-stress lifestyles. However, a lack of rest can starve the yin side of life. To compensate, a deficiency in yin can develop. The body tried to make up for a busy lifestyle with fake energy. It is referred to as an “empty heat” by TCM practitioners because it lacks the cooling aspects of yin. A yin deficiency can cause a wide variety of issues, including:
  • Heart palpitations
  • Hormonal imbalance
  • Insomnia
  • Anxiety
  • Anger
  • Poor memory
  • Restlessness
  • Dry cough
  • Constipation
  • Lack of desire

Although a yin deficiency can strike at any time during life, it becomes even more likely as we age. It can also affect both men and women.
 
HOW HERBS CAN HELP

It is not always possible to live a balanced life to keep yin deficiency at bay. Between demanding jobs, family responsibilities, bills, health issues, and all of the demands of modern life, most people do not have time for the rest they need to strengthen their yin.

That is where herbs can help. Herbs can help strengthen the yin and bring the body back into balance. In TCM, they are used to provide yin energy in the form of an adaptogenic system. This means that it brings our bodies back into balance, either by raising or lowering yin, depending on our needs.

Yin herbs will cool, moisten, and relax the body, which allows us to maintain balance and help to lessen the symptoms of yin deficiency. Here are some herbs to help bring harmony back to our everyday lives and provide overall wellbeing.


 
UP-BRO FOR OVERALL HEALTH

Each herb on our list has a proven record, both through traditional use and scientific study, of improving health. On their own, they can have a positive effect. However, when combined, we can harness their combined effects for greater health.

That’s why we created UP-BRO We combined some of the top yin herbs in one convenient supplement to help strengthen the body and bring it back into balance. Using only the purest ingredients, UP-BRO can provide a needed boost to overall wellbeing and health.

The herbs UP-BRO include:

1、raspberry

The raspberry is a real superfood that is known for its many active ingredients. This was also the case in antiquity, when the fruit was already used as a medicine. Similarly, the raspberry was also widespread in the monastery gardens of the Middle Ages. Among other things, it contains phenolic acids, which can significantly reduce the risk of liver disease. The natural coloring agent anthocyanin can also help prevent cancer. Furthermore, raspberries are particularly helpful in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, intestinal diseases and Alzheimer's. Thanks to numerous vitamins, the raspberry is also very healthy and therefore an important part of a balanced diet. It also strengthens the metabolism and circulation and is consumed as a tea to increase fertility.

Yin deficiency can steal away desire and performance. The calming effects of maca can help bring the body back into balance, which boosts desire, performance, and satisfaction.

 

2、Oyster

The Greek goddess of love Aphrodite already had a special relationship with them - according to legend, she once sprang from a large oyster. This is why generals like Caesar and seducers like Casanova swore by the power of this special seafood. However, this was not only due to the creation of legends: because oysters also contain many important nutrients. One of them is zinc, which raises testosterone levels, strengthens the immune system and has a stimulating effect. Oysters also contain a lot of iodine and high-quality protein that strengthens muscles and stabilizes tissues.

Whether you love them raw, fried, or on the half shell, oysters can provide you with a host of health benefits such as high levels of heart and brain-boosting Omega-3 fatty acids and enough zinc to keep your mojo flowing all night.

They can increase glutathione levels and help counteract fatigue, improve immunity and enhance sexual health.

The impressive health benefits of oysters come from its vast stockpiles of minerals, vitamins, and organic compounds.  


3、kudzu

Kudzu is a vine. Under the right growing conditions, it spreads easily, covering virtually everything that doesn't move out of its path. Kudzu was introduced in North America in 1876 in the southeastern U.S. to prevent soil erosion. But it spread quickly and overtook farms and buildings, leading some to call to kudzu "the vine that ate the South."

Kudzu's root, flower, and leaf are used to make medicine.

People use kudzu for conditions like alcohol use disorder, heart disease, diabetes, and many others, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.



4、Ginseng

Ginseng has been used in Asia and North America for centuries. Many use it to improve thinking, concentration, memory and physical endurance.

It’s also utilized to help with depression, anxiety and as a chronic fatigue natural treatment. This well-known herb is known to boost the immune system, fight infections and help men with erectile dysfunction.

Native Americans once used the root as a stimulant and headache remedy, as well as a treatment for infertility, fever and indigestion.

Today, approximately 6 million Americans take advantage of the proven ginseng benefits regularly. Find out why.


5、Goji berry


One of the more popular supplements from Traditional Chinese Medicine, goji berry has an impressive reputation both in historical practice and modern research. Ancient practitioners have long used goji berry as a tonic for yin deficiency. It’s ability to bring balance back to the body make it popular around the world.

Anxiety is incredibly common in modern life: it affects 40 million adults a year in the United States alone. Goji berry can help provide support in times of stress.

One study found that participants that took goji berry juice for 14 days reported an increase in clam, focus, energy, and overall wellbeing. It also improved digestion, which is a common problem when yin levels are low. Another 2016 study found that it helped relieve anxiety-like behavior in rats.

Liver yin deficiency can strike at any age, but it does become increasingly common with aging. Goji berry can help support the liver from the stress of modern life. One study found that it had protective effects on the liver in rats with fatty alcohol disease.

Kidney yin deficiency is also a common problem that can cause poor health. Goji berry is often used to help support the body and fight against kidney yin deficiency. Currently, it lacks specific studies to back up these claims. However, the 18 identified amino acids and high vitamin C content point to its ability to support kidney health.


BALANCE YIN FOR BETTER HEALTH 

The best way to support overall health is by paying attention to balance within the body. Yin and yang in TCM support the concept of complementing work and rest, light and dark, male and female to achieve optimal health.

Unfortunately, modern life does not support that. Although most people use yang, or energy and heat, there is less room for yin, or rest and renewal. Most people are rundown and tired, which often leads to yin deficiency.

Herbs can help to correct an imbalance. Along with creating rest and downtime in their daily lives, most people could benefit from yin herbs to achieve optimal health.

UP-BRO can help to provide the needed support for better health. With each ingredient supported by research and traditional use, UP-BRO can provide needed balance in the overworked everyday life. Using only the highest quality ingredient, most people can benefit from the best herbs to give their bodies a needed boost and support.
