Hot flashes are not necessarily a heat condition and see Daniel’s post.
A high degree of productivity & focused are characteristics of a LI excess – that is metal/yangming – dry/dry, so
vaginal dryness is a consistent sign not contradictory.

1 of the channels such as LR+ for those analytical types.
