Sexual Health
Does tonifying the kidney enhance yang? wrong! Men's kidney tonifying should be like this
Many people often believe that the kidney is the most important organ that affects male sexual function. There is often a cognitive misconception in the mind: kidney deficiency leads to poor sexual function, and taking kidney tonifying drugs can strengthen the kidney and yang. When it comes to tonifying the kidney, one only thinks about strengthening yang. "I believe that kidney deficiency is kidney yang deficiency, which is sexual dysfunction, so I need to strengthen my yang.". This concept has great misunderstandings.
Kidney Deficiency Must Be Dialectical
Kidney deficiency can be divided into kidney yin deficiency, kidney yang deficiency, and kidney essence deficiency. The treatment must be dialectical, and kidney yin deficiency should be nourishing yin and tonifying the kidney; Kidney yang deficiency is suitable for tonifying the kidney and strengthening yang; If there is insufficient kidney essence, it is advisable to replenish the kidney and replenish the essence. It should not be mistaken for invigorating the kidney to enhance yang. Otherwise, the drug is not proven and the effect is counterproductive.
Nourishing the Kidney Must Separate Yin and Yang
In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the kidney is not only a tangible organ, but also a general term for the kidney and a series of related functional activities. Pathological changes in human spirit, bones, hair, teeth, etc. may be closely related to the kidney, with a wider range than in Western medicine.
The essence and qi of the kidney can be divided into two aspects: kidney yin and kidney yang, which are interdependent and mutually restricting, maintaining the dynamic balance of the human body. When this balance is disrupted, pathological changes such as kidney yin and kidney yang decline or become excessive will occur.
Modern people are prone to systemic organ dysfunction due to high work pressure and low amount of exercise, with kidney deficiency being one of them. Clinically, kidney yin deficiency is more common than yang deficiency, and there is a certain misunderstanding in the concept of tonifying the kidney as strengthening yang.
Manifestations of kidney yang deficiency: pale or swarthy complexion, cold waist and knees, chills in limbs, mental fatigue, general fatigue, male impotence, premature ejaculation, decreased libido, shapeless stool, frequent urination, clear growth, excessive nocturnal urination, pale tongue and white fur, and diarrhea during the fifth shift
Manifestations of kidney yin deficiency: flushed complexion, sore waist and knees, dizziness, tinnitus, loose teeth, hair loss; Men suffer from ejaculation, premature ejaculation, insomnia, forgetfulness, dry mouth and throat, irritability, and sweating when moving. In the afternoon, their cheekbones are red, their bodies are thin, their urine is yellow and few, their tongues are red, with little or no coating.
Simple self diagnosis of renal function
People with good renal function: good spirits, light feet, good sleep, and good hearing and eyesight.
People with poor renal function: Excessive nocturnal urination, frequent dizziness, low back pain, soft legs, dark circles under the eyes, and easy hair loss.
In addition, to judge whether your kidney function is good or bad, you should also pay attention to your daily urine output. Generally, the daily urine output of normal people should be around 1000 to 2000 milliliters (equivalent to 2 to 4 mineral water bottles). More than 2500 milliliters or less than 800 milliliters may be due to kidney problems.
The principle of tonifying the kidney
Everyone should pay attention to the maintenance of the water of kidney yin. Daily maintenance is even more critical. Strengthen physical exercise, timely nourish symptoms, and improve symptoms of kidney deficiency and aging. "If it is not an extremely weak population, the principle of tonifying the kidney should be peace, and different methods of tonifying the kidney should be selected according to different seasons, physiques, and climate, depending on the time, person, and region.".
