In traditional Chinese medicine, the dual complementation of yin and yang refers to the simultaneous adjustment of the power of yin and yang in order to achieve a state of balance in the case of yin and yang imbalance.

Here's how:

1.Yang damage and yin deficiency should be supplemented with yin-nourishing products on the basis of yang supplementation: when yang qi is weak and yin qi is relatively strong, yang qi should be supplemented first to enhance the body's positive energy. At the same time, it is also necessary to nourish yin fluid to balance the relationship between yin and yang. Commonly used yang-tonifying drugs include ginseng, astragalus, etc., while yin-nourishing drugs include Polygonum multiflori, wolfberry, etc.

2.Yin damage and yang deficiency should be supplemented with yang tonic products on the basis of nourishing yin: when yin qi is weak and yang qi is relatively strong, yin fluid should be nourished first to balance the relationship between yin and yang. At the same time, it is also necessary to replenish yang energy to enhance the body's positive energy. Commonly used yin-nourishing drugs include rehmannia, Xuanshen, etc., while yang-tonifying drugs include cinnamon, eucommia, etc.

It should be noted that when performing yin and yang double supplements, syndrome differentiation and treatment should be carried out according to specific conditions and individual differences, and the principle of "** should be different from person to person" should be followed. In addition, the purpose of yin and yang is to achieve balance, and not to be overly biased towards one aspect or the other, so as not to create new imbalances.

Therefore, when using drugs or other **, you should follow your doctor's guidance and do what you can to avoid improper use or abuse of drugs.
