Collapse of Yin
In traditional theory, this is an Empty, crisis-level pattern in which Yin and bodily fluids are described as becoming profoundly depleted. It encompasses cooling, moistening, and anchoring functions, with deficient Heat, dryness, sweating, agitation, and wasting as conceptual expressions; the traditional label is not a self-assessment tool.
