Seeking good ways to prolong life in order to achieve "health and longevity" has always been a beautiful wish sought by people. In fact, the kidney is closely related to the survival and death of humans. Kidney strength is a manifestation of vigorous life, kidney deficiency is the main cause of frequent diseases, kidney failure is the root cause of aging in the body, and tonifying the kidney can prolong life.
The ancients pointed out that when one is ten years old, the five internal organs begin to settle, and the blood and qi are already flowing, so it is easy to run. At the age of twenty, his blood begins to grow and his muscles grow, so he likes to walk quickly. At the age of thirty, the five internal organs are well composed and the muscles are strong, so it is good to walk slowly. At the age of forty, all five organs and six internal organs are in full bloom and have calmed down, making it easy to sit. At the age of fifty, the liver qi begins to decline and the eyes begin to blur. At the age of sixty, one's heart begins to decline, with good care and sorrow, and lazy blood and energy, making it easy to lie down. Seventy years old, with a weak temper and dry skin. At the age of eighty, with lung qi failure, it is easy to make mistakes. At the age of ninety, the internal organs and meridians are empty. At the age of one hundred, all the five internal organs are empty, all the aura is gone, and the form and skeleton live alone and die. From this, it can be seen that the growth and aging of the human body are closely related to the exuberance and deficiency of kidney qi. The method of tonifying the kidney is the key to prolonging life. So it is said that "if the kidney qi is strong, it will prolong life, and if the kidney qi is weak, it will lead to premature life".
Over forty years old, tonifying the kidneys and nourishing yin
The "Su Wen Wu Chang Zheng Da Lun" states: "Yin essence worships its longevity." The "Su Wen Yin Yang Ying Xiang Da Lun" states: "At forty years old, most of the Yin qi also declines in daily life. This indicates that aging is the result of a decrease in yin qi. Yin Qi mostly refers to the essence and blood of the liver and kidney. Insufficient essence and blood can easily cause yin deficiency in the elderly. Therefore, the method of promoting longevity should also pay attention to tonifying the kidney and nourishing yin. You can choose to take ripe glutinous rice, goji berries, Polygonum multiflorum, mulberry, lotus root, Ligustrum lucidum, Polygonatum odoratum, black sesame, etc. The traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations Bushen Yishou Pill, Qingchun Bao, Erzhi Pill, Liuwei Dihuang Pill, etc. are suitable for yin deficiency physiques such as emaciation, five heart trouble, dry stool, dizziness and ringing, insomnia and dreaminess.
Over half a century old, water and wood
The book "Su Wen · Ancient Innocence Theory" states: "On May 8th, the kidney qi fails, the hair falls and the teeth wither", "On July 8th, the liver qi fails, the tendons are unable to move, the sky is depleted, the essence is insufficient, the kidneys fail, and the body is extremely strong". This indicates that as the human body ages, kidney qi begins to decline and liver and other functions gradually decline. The liver and kidney are of the same origin. The liver stores blood, the kidney stores essence, and the essence and blood are mutually generated. The liver belongs to wood, while the kidney belongs to water. Water can produce wood. If the kidney water is depleted, it cannot produce liver wood. Therefore, both liver and kidney fail, and longevity should be combined with tonifying the kidney and nourishing the liver. You can choose Ligustrum lucidum, Fructus corni, Fructus Schisandrae, Lotus, Polygonatum multiflorum, Mulberry, Achyranthes bidentata, Eucommia ulmoides, Raspberry, Dog spine, Cuscuta chinensis, etc. The Shouwu Pills, goji berry decoctions, erhuang Pills, and mulberry paste used by the ancients are all famous formulas for tonifying the liver and kidney, nourishing blood and generating essence, improving hearing and eyesight, and prolonging life. They are especially suitable for people with hearing loss, blurred vision, and weak muscles and veins. At the same time, traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes maintaining a happy spirit, a comfortable mood, and also beneficial for physical health and longevity.
In the year of Huajia, water and fire mutually aid each other
The "Suwen Ancient Innocence Theory" states: "At the age of sixty, the heart begins to decline." The heart originates from the kidney, and if the kidney fails, the blood withers and the heart vessels fail. The heart belongs to fire, which governs the blood vessels, while the kidney belongs to water, which stores essence. Under normal circumstances, essence and blood complement each other, and water and fire complement each other. Kidney water is beneficial to the heart, while heart fire decreases to the kidneys. Heart and kidney intersect, and water and fire are beneficial to health. Otherwise, diseases are prone to develop and the body is prone to aging. Therefore, it is advisable to use kidney tonifying and health preserving methods to prolong life. Such as dragon eye meat, cypress kernel, etc. The Book of Songs believes that the former is' strong in spirit and intelligence, light in body and not old '. The latter "soothes the five internal organs and replenishes qi... has intelligent ears and eyes, is not hungry or old, and is light in weight to prolong life". There is also Baizi Ren Wan, which can calm and tonify the heart and kidneys, and prolong the appearance. Kong Sheng Pillow Pill can treat insomnia in elderly patients with weak heart and blood, confusion, and restlessness. While taking medication, it is important to clear the mind and reduce desires, calm the mind, and cultivate oneself, which is also beneficial for delaying the aging of the heart.
Life is seventy years old, nourishing the kidneys and cultivating the soil
The spleen is the acquired foundation, while the kidney belongs to water and is the innate foundation. The two grow and interact physiologically and pathologically, and the spleen also plays an important role in the aging process of the human body. Weakness of the spleen and stomach, which cannot nourish congenital diseases, can cause kidney weakness and accelerate the occurrence of aging. Therefore, tonifying the kidney and nourishing the soil is also the key to longevity, such as Qiongyu Cream, Ginseng Gujing Pill, Dafu Ling Pill, and Qianlong Longevity Medicine Prescription for Strengthening the Spleen, Nourishing the Kidney, and Strengthening the Yuan.
Eighty people nourish the kidneys and moisten the lungs
Elderly people may experience wheezing when moving, and coughing when sick, which is often related to dysfunction and decline of the lungs and kidneys. The lung belongs to gold, the kidney belongs to water, and gold can produce water. The lung yin is sufficient, and the essence is infused into the kidneys to supplement the kidney yin and ensure vigorous kidney function. At the age of 80, with lung qi failure ("Ling Shu Tian Nian Chapter"), aging and physical decline are accompanied by severe decline in lung function. The method of nourishing the kidney and moistening the lungs can also delay aging. Like goji berries nourishing the kidneys and lungs; Yam nourishes the lungs and strengthens the kidneys; Fructus Schisandrae can tonify the kidney, replenish qi, promote fluid production, astringe the lungs, and relieve cough; Coix seed can strengthen the spleen and lungs. Alternatively, Huangqi ointment, Shenlian drink, etc. can have the effect of tonifying the lungs and benefiting the kidneys.
Adjusting Kidney Qi after 90 Years of Age
After the ninth decade of the year, the kidney qi will dry up and the meridians will be empty. The human body may experience symptoms such as soreness and weakness in the waist and knees, fear of coldness and kidney deficiency. Tonifying kidney qi can be achieved by using yang enhancing products such as deer antler, morinda officinalis, epimedium, cistanche deserticola, gecko, purple river car, etc. You can also use cooked glutinous rice, dogwood meat, cistanche, tender beef, and 15 grams of water each to fry and extract juice, stew pork ribs, add scallions and ginger, various seasonings, and eat meat and soup frequently. As well as Yansheng Hubao Pill, Guilingji and other kidney tonifying and yang boosting drugs.
Due to the close relationship between the kidney and the survival and death of a person, during the aging process, as the body's yin and yang, qi and blood, essence, and body fluid become more abundant and weaker, the main organs of the kidney, such as bone and brain marrow, as well as the spleen, heart, lungs, and liver, also undergo corresponding changes. Therefore, tonifying the kidney should take into account both the specimen and comprehensive conditioning, and apply the method of tonifying to achieve healthy and long life.
