The word 'kidney deficiency' is actually what traditional Chinese medicine says. The human body has five organs and six internal organs. In traditional Chinese medicine, the five viscera heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, or deficiency or excess are all pathological manifestations.
Moreover, the major categories of Five Organ Deficiency can be divided into Yin Deficiency and Yang Deficiency (which can also be further divided into categories such as heart blood deficiency, weak temper, etc.). Let's specifically talk about the kidney. The kidney in traditional Chinese medicine does not simply refer to the kidney in Western medicine anatomy. "Kidney" is an important content in the theory of visceral phenomena in traditional Chinese medicine. The kidney is located in the waist, one on the left and one on the right, and is one of the important organs in the human body. "The kidney is the foundation of the soul and the root of life," and "a person has a kidney, just like a tree has a root," it is known as the "innate foundation. The main physiological function of the kidney is to store essence, regulate reproduction, growth and development, regulate water, regulate qi, generate marrow, regulate bone, open the ear, and promote hair growth.
If you find yourself experiencing the following symptoms, you may have kidney deficiency!
1. Low back pain and leg pain, frequent and urgent urination
Some people often experience back pain and leg weakness after sexual intercourse, some drive for too long, some urinate frequently and urgently, or urinate frequently and frequently.
2. Chilly limbs
Fear of cold and limb coldness often accompanies kidney deficiency symptoms such as lower back and knee pain, mental fatigue, lack of energy and lazy speech, and lack of thirst.
3. Dizziness, weakness, insomnia, and dreaminess
The kidney, as one of the important organs in the human body, nourishes and warms other organs. If other organs remain ill for a long time, it is easy to damage the kidneys. Many patients with chronic diseases such as chronic hepatitis, coronary heart disease, bronchial asthma, hypertension, etc. often have symptoms of kidney deficiency. Of course, dizziness and weakness may also be due to insufficient temper, insomnia and excessive dreams may be due to insufficient heart blood.
4. Asthma, or the need for deep breathing
Due to kidney deficiency and inability to absorb qi, it can cause shortness of breath, excessive exhalation and insufficient inhalation, making it difficult for you to breathe freely. In severe cases, accompanied by asthma, symptoms such as increased wheezing and cold sweating may also occur.
5. Nocturnal polyuria
Generally, the frequency of nocturnal urination is more than 2 times, or the urine volume exceeds 1/4 of the whole day. In severe cases, nocturnal urination occurs once an hour, and the urine volume is close to or exceeds the daytime urine volume. This situation is considered as "nocturnal polyuria". Normal urination during the day and frequent urination at night are the characteristics of this condition, often caused by weak kidney qi.
6. Erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney stores essence. Kidney essence produces kidney yin and kidney yang, which nourish and warm the five organs and six organs. Kidney yin and kidney yang are interdependent and mutually restrictive in the human body, maintaining the physiological balance of the body. If this balance is disrupted or one side declines, pathological changes will occur, and men will experience symptoms such as impotence, premature ejaculation, slippery semen, and semen diseases.
7. Dizziness and tinnitus
Many people have experienced a feeling of dizziness, which is not pleasant due to blurred eyes, spinning around, and nausea and vomiting. Moreover, dizziness patients often have tinnitus, which hinders hearing and can even lead to deafness in the long run.
8. Constipation
Constipated people often experience symptoms such as anal fissure and hemorrhoids due to difficulty in defecation, which affects their work and life and is unbearable. Although constipation belongs to the conduction dysfunction of the large intestine, it can also be caused by kidney deficiency, as the kidney opens the door to the two yin and governs the two stools. The conduction of stool must be stimulated and nourished by kidney qi to function properly.
9. Lumbago
Low back pain is fundamentally due to kidney deficiency and can be divided into internal injury and strain. Internal injury kidney deficiency generally refers to congenital deficiency, prolonged illness, physical deficiency, or excessive fatigue. Trauma doesn't count, but tonifying the kidneys can indeed strengthen the waist
