According to traditional Chinese medicine, it is suitable to nourish the liver in spring, the heart in summer, the lungs in autumn, and the kidneys in winter. But some experts have found in clinical practice that spring is a good time for people with kidney deficiency to recuperate. Kidney deficiency can be divided into kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency. Kidney yin refers to the essence of the kidney, while kidney yang refers to renal function. The main symptoms of kidney yin deficiency are soreness and weakness in the waist and knees, dizziness and tinnitus, restlessness of the five hearts, weight loss, insomnia and dreaminess, night sweats, and dry throat. The manifestations of kidney yang deficiency include lethargy, dizziness, clear and long urine, tinnitus and deafness, and nocturnal polyuria.
Chives are a kidney tonifying expert in food. Eating some chives in spring can help strengthen the kidney and strengthen the foundation. However, although leeks are good, they should not be consumed every day, and there are many taboos when paired. Chives tend to be hot and can easily catch fire if eaten too much. Therefore, those with yin deficiency and excessive fire should not eat too much. Those with stomach deficiency, heat, and indigestion should also try to eat as little as possible. In addition, leeks cannot be eaten together with Baijiu, because Baijiu is pungent and hot in nature, which can promote blood circulation, expand blood vessels. Leeks are pungent and warm in nature, and warm and invigorate the yang. Eating both together can add fuel to the fire for people with weak physique.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that leek has a pungent taste and warm nature. It has the effects of warming and tonifying kidney yang, promoting qi and blood circulation, and warming the stomach. It has a high nutritional value. In addition to the three basic nutrients of fat, protein, and carbohydrate, it also contains a variety of vitamins and essence oil. It can not only kill bacteria and inflammation, but also reduce blood lipids, promote gastrointestinal motility, assist in the treatment of hypertension, constipation, coronary heart disease, and prevent some tumors.
Massaging the Yongquan acupoint on the heart of the foot has the effect of strengthening the kidney, nourishing yin, and reducing fire. The massage method is to soak the feet in warm water before going to bed every day, then rub each other's hands to warm them up. Massage the right heart of the foot with the left heart, and massage the left heart with the right heart with the right heart for more than 100 times each time, preferably rubbing the feet hot. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the Yongquan acupoint directly connects to the kidney meridian, and the Yongquan acupoint in the foot is the place where the turbid qi decreases. Regular massage of Yongquan acupoint can benefit the essence and kidneys, strengthen the body, and promote sleep by soothing the liver and improving eyesight. It has a certain therapeutic effect on dizziness, tinnitus, insomnia, headaches, etc. caused by kidney deficiency.
According to experts, some black, dark brown or purple foods are the main water in the five elements, and enter the kidney meridian. Eating black foods regularly can tonify the kidneys.
