After childbirth, the yin blood is deficient. If proper care is neglected, yang qi becomes excessive, causing an imbalance between yin and yang. Symptoms include bodily restlessness and oppression, dryness of the lips and mouth, and fatigue and pain in the limbs and joints. This condition is referred to as postpartum deficiency-heat (Chanhou Xu Re).
