How can dryness and Dampness exist at the same time? In this podcast you'll discover that these seemingly contradictory patterns occur together more often than you think. We explain how Dampness or Phlegm can transform into Damp-Heat that damages body fluids, or how turbid Dampness uses up normal body fluids causing Yin to become depleted.

We also discuss the difference between Yin deficiency and Empty Heat - two separate pathological conditions that are often confused - and how to recognize these on the tongue.
