Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is the basis of the birth, the organ that stores the essence, and is responsible for the physiological functions of human growth and development, reproduction and reproduction. The scope and meaning are relatively broad. The "kidney deficiency" we often hear belongs to the concept of traditional Chinese medicine. The concept of kidney in western medicine refers to a pair of broad bean-shaped, fist-sized organs located on both sides of the spine. Because of different concepts, the standard of kidney health is also different. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the following 9 criteria can show that your kidney is still healthy.
Clear hearing
Li Yuehua, a professor at the Geriatrics Center of Xiyuan Hospital, Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, pointed out that in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the hearing function of the ear is closely related to the rise and fall of kidney qi, and good hearing is good for the kidney. On the contrary, when the symptoms of tinnitus, upset and hearing loss occur, kidney yin deficiency can be considered more.
Shiny skin
Professor Yang Li, Xiyuan Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, told reporters that only with a good kidney can we stay young and delay aging. If the kidney is bad, people tend to look old, the skin will become dark, the skin color will also change, the eyes will become black, and the bags under the eyes will be obvious.
Black hair
Kidney hides essence. Its beauty lies in hair. The nutrition of hair comes from blood, but its vitality lies in the kidney. If the kidney is bad, the hair will turn white and lose luster early, and hair loss will occur.
Strong bones
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that kidney governs bone, bone is nourished by kidney essence, and kidney is good for bone. The decline of kidney qi will lead to osteoporosis, backache and even tooth loosening.
