The omen of kidney deficiency starts with the appearance of white spots on the nails, indicating that a man has kidney deficiency.
In response, experts pointed out that the concept of "kidney" in traditional Chinese medicine is a relatively broad concept, including the functions of the reproductive system, immune system, endocrine system, urinary system, and nervous system in Western medicine; In Western medicine, the kidney refers to the kidney, which is an organ of the urinary system.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "kidney governs qi", like a boiler, which transports body fluids such as blood and body fluids to various organs of the body, providing the power needed by the body. If the kidney is deficient, the power to deliver body fluid will not be sufficient, and the human body will experience dry skin, dry and yellow hair, and poor nail color.
At the same time, traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the liver stores blood and the kidney stores essence", and that the liver "thrives in its claws". Nails are an indicator of whether the liver blood is sufficient, while the essence and blood are homologous, and the two can affect each other. Therefore, the statement that "white spots on the nails are a precursor of kidney deficiency" has some truth.
Don't worry, scientific conditioning can relieve symptoms of kidney deficiency
According to the World Health Organization, 80% of people with kidney deficiency have white spots on their nails in the early stages. In addition to the precursor of abnormal nails, kidney deficiency also has symptoms such as sweating and decreased libido. As long as treatment is timely, more than 70% of kidney deficiency are temporary phenomena that can quickly improve.
Kidney deficiency is generally divided into kidney yang deficiency and kidney yin deficiency. Patients with kidney yang deficiency are afraid of cold, urinate frequently, and have impotence. When recuperating, they should mainly warm the yang and tonify the kidney. When the symptoms are mild, they can take traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations such as Yishenling, Jinkui Shenqi Pill, etc; Patients with kidney yin deficiency may have symptoms such as decreased memory, sour waist and legs, prone to sweating due to deficiency, and decreased sexual function. When recuperating, the main treatment should be nourishing yin and tonifying the kidney. If the symptoms are mild, take Liuwei Dihuang Pill symptomatically.
Health preservation focuses on promoting fluid and blood production. People may wish to consume appropriate amounts of black sesame, lily, polygonum multiflorum, angelica, wolfberry, etc. according to their physical fitness under the guidance of a doctor, which can not only nourish the liver and blood, but also have the effect of tonifying the kidney. Generally speaking, there are two reasons for kidney deficiency: congenital deficiency and acquired excess. Therefore, people should avoid staying up late, indulging in libido, and pay attention to the rules of life in daily life.
