Empty-Heat caused by Yin Deficiency
In traditional theory, this empty pattern describes deficient yin failing to anchor and cool the body's functional activity, with Empty-Heat appearing as a secondary aspect. Its conceptual scope is systemic rather than limited to one organ, and it is used to interpret chronic wasting and heat that is less substantial than excess Heat.
