between diarrhea and constipation, which would most correspond to yin and yang? In traditional Chinese medicine terms (very roughly mapped): Diarrhea aligns with excess yin or deficient yang. Reason: loose stools, cold symptoms, lack of digestive “fire,” fluids moving too quickly. Constipation aligns with excess yang or deficient yin. Reason: dryness, heat, slowed movement, too little moisture to lubricate the bowels. It’s not a perfect one-to-one, but that’s the standard correspondence.
