Dizziness due to Kidney Deficiency

Kidney Yin Deficiency
Pathophysiology
Dizziness due to KI Yin Def. is a pure deficienct pattern. In contrast to the previous pattern of LV and KI Yin Def with Yang rising, characterised by severe episodic dizziness, Kidney Yin def dizziness is mild and occurs with exertion and fatigue.

This type is either a manifestation of deficient Heat rising to the head and disturbing the sensory orifices, or of inadequate Kidney jing. When Jing is weak or insufficient, its function of producing Marrow is weakened and this weakness leads to malnourishment of the 'sea of marrow' that is the brain.
