The key to tonifying the kidney in traditional Chinese medicine is to clarify whether it is kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency. People with yin deficiency often have red faces and hot hearts, while those with yang deficiency are afraid of the cold, cool limbs, and pale complexion. Professor Xu pointed out that kidney deficiency also requires symptomatic medication. After reaching middle age, people's physiological functions turn from prosperity to decline. Many people experience signs of aging, such as low back pain, tinnitus, dizziness and dizziness, forgetfulness and lack of sleep, susceptibility to fatigue, decreased libido, increased nocturia, graying hair, and loose teeth, which is referred to as kidney deficiency in traditional Chinese medicine.
Any congenital deficiency, long-term malnutrition, chronic and consumptive diseases, mental tension, emotional depression, and insufficient sleep; Excessive fatigue, improper or severe sexual activity can all lead to kidney deficiency and premature aging. But if you pay attention to health preservation after middle age, even if there is kidney deficiency and premature aging, you can still recover again.
In addition, although some patients exhibit symptoms of kidney deficiency, such as weakened sexual function, lower back pain, and leg pain, it may be due to lifestyle issues such as work fatigue, lack of exercise, and irregular sleep patterns. As long as the adjustment is made, medication may not be necessary.
