Definition
The yin fluids of the Lung are deficient.

Typical signs include dry cough with scant sputum, dry mouth and throat, red tongue with scant coat, and a thin rapid pulse.
Pitfall / Exam Tip
Do not diagnose Lung yin deficiency from throat dryness alone; there should be fluid depletion and deficiency-heat signs.
