Amidst various kidney tonifying advertisements flooding newspaper pages and streets, as well as advertising campaigns such as "men need to cheer" and "kidney tonifying holy products", men under high work pressure and a faster pace of life often feel like they have "kidney deficiency".
Many people often believe that the kidney is the most important organ that affects male function. Kidney deficiency can lead to poor sexual function, and taking kidney tonifying drugs can help to tonify the kidney and enhance yang. But in reality, it's not like that.
Under what circumstances do men need to tonify their kidneys?
Memory decline
The "Qian Jin Fang" records that the "Five Zang Organs Store Gods", among which the "Kidney Store Zhi" and "Zhi" include memory, indicating that the fundamental reason for memory decline is the deficiency of essence and marrow. Therefore, in traditional Chinese medicine theory, the strength of the kidney is closely related to the quality of memory.
Decreased or increased libido
It is known that decreased libido is due to kidney deficiency, but kidney deficiency can be divided into kidney yang deficiency and kidney yin deficiency. Decreased libido is a manifestation of kidney yang deficiency, while abnormal erections and stronger desires occur. This situation is caused by kidney yin deficiency and excessive fire, which also belongs to kidney deficiency.
Difficult to control emotions
People with kidney deficiency often have poor emotions and find it difficult to control their emotions, often manifested as irritability, irritability, anxiety, and even depression, lack of confidence, lack of sense of purpose, and lack of enthusiasm for life and work.
Lumbar and knee soreness and weakness
There is a saying called "kidney deficiency and back pain". People with kidney deficiency who bend down for a little longer and exercise a little will feel back pain, or standing for a little longer will feel leg pain.
Thick eye bags and dark circles
If you don't stay up late and still have heavy dark circles under your eyes, it should be considered that it is caused by kidney deficiency, and those with kidney deficiency have premature aging, dull skin tone, rough, dry skin, and lack of elasticity; The voice gradually became hoarse.
If half of the above 5 symptoms have already occurred to you, it is necessary to open the channel for tonifying the kidney, otherwise kidney deficiency will become increasingly severe. Kidney deficiency is not something that can be remedied by taking some Western medicine two days a day, but it can only be truly solved by slowly regulating through dietary supplements or traditional Chinese medicine.
Walnuts: Walnuts have a sweet taste and a warm nature, which can tonify the kidneys and assist yang, making them suitable for those with kidney yang deficiency. The daily consumption of walnut kernels ranges from 20 to 40 grams, which is equivalent to 4-5 walnuts. When eating walnut kernels, the brown thin skin wrapped around them is eaten together for better results and can be consumed for a long time.
Kind reminder: Walnuts have a high heat and contain a lot of fat. Eating too much can cause fever and nausea, and should not be eaten by people who are getting hot or have diarrhea.
Black beans: Black beans have a sweet taste and have functions such as promoting blood circulation, nourishing blood and calming the liver, tonifying the kidney and strengthening yin, suitable for those with kidney yin deficiency. To make soybean milk or Congee, soak the black beans in warm water for 7-8 hours. After the black beans are softened, pour out the water for soaking the black beans. Put the black beans into the soybean milk machine to make fresh soybean milk, or put the black beans directly into the pot and boil them with other Congee ingredients to make Congee.
Polygonum multiflorum: Polygonum multiflorum is divided into processed Polygonum multiflorum and raw Polygonum multiflorum. Made from Polygonum multiflorum, it has a bitter, sweet, astringent taste, and a mild and gentle nature. It is mainly used to treat symptoms such as waist and knee soreness, dizziness, dizziness, palpitations, insomnia, and early white hair caused by liver and kidney deficiency and loss of blood essence. You can directly brew it with boiling water, 5 to 10 grams at a time, and drink it no more than three times a day.
Soaking in water is not as effective as decocting. The amount of decocting is 100 grams at a time, and 50 grams of black sesame can also be added to decoct together. Take it once in the morning and evening, and persist for a month. If there are no significant changes, consult a doctor and under their guidance, see if you want to continue using the medication.
Reminder: There is a difference between processed and unprocessed Polygonum multiflorum. Unprocessed Polygonum multiflorum is called raw Polygonum multiflorum, which is toxic and should be used with caution. Processed Polygonum multiflorum is called processed Polygonum multiflorum; Pregnant women, lactating women, those under the age of 14, and other individuals deemed by doctors to be unwell are prohibited from drinking.
Frequent staying up late, overtime, high stress, and excessive sexual activity can all cause kidney deficiency. In addition to dietary therapy and traditional Chinese medicine therapy, it is also necessary to exercise appropriately, and jogging is the best choice.
