"Kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency have one cold and one heat, and their symptoms, manifestations, and tonifying methods are also greatly different.". If kidney deficiency is caused by kidney yang deficiency, strengthening yang is a timely help; If you already have a deficiency cold type constitution and continue to nourish yin, such as taking Liuwei Dihuang Pill (nourishing yin), it would be like adding insult to injury.

The main symptoms are weakness in the waist and knees, restlessness in the five hearts, dizziness and tinnitus, weight loss, insomnia and dreaminess, redness and hot flashes in the cheekbones, night sweats, dry throat, and male impotence."
