Traditional Chinese medicine believes that kidney deficiency can be caused by improper diet, excessive fatigue, excessive psychological and mental stress, sexual repression or excessive sexual exertion, and prolonged illness. According to the excess and decline of essence and yin and yang in the kidney, kidney deficiency can be characterized by kidney yin deficiency, kidney yang deficiency, kidney qi instability, kidney inability to absorb qi, kidney yin and yang deficiency, yin deficiency and excessive fire. It is generally divided into two categories: yin deficiency and yang deficiency.
The essence of men lies in their liver and kidneys. Kidney is water, liver is wood, and water can produce wood, so the most fundamental thing for men is still the kidney. The key to nourishing the kidney is to nourish the essence. The following is an introduction to the five methods of nourishing men's essence in traditional Chinese medicine:
Five Ways for Men to Cultivate Strength and Power
1. Oligarchic desire
In traditional Chinese medicine, when emotions move, the kidneys move, and when the kidneys move, the essence moves. To ensure sufficient kidney qi, we need to control the movement of the essence, so that the heart does not move. So abstinence is the first major method for men to nourish their kidneys.
2. Frugal labor
One should not overwork oneself. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that essence originates from blood, and essence is the realization of blood. So we need to protect the blood well.
3. Appease anger
Anger harms the liver, which stores blood. If a person gets angry, it will damage liver blood and consume semen. So, we need to control our temper, control our anger, and learn to handle people and things calmly.
4. Abstain from alcohol
Wine can stimulate blood. Alcohol has a hair generating effect, and drinking less can activate the body's hair generating mechanism. However, excessive alcohol consumption can cause disorders of qi and blood, so drinking alcohol should be controlled.
5. Cautious taste
Caution in taste is not to overeat, but to nourish oneself with grains. There is a saying in traditional Chinese medicine that 'Five grains nourish the essence'.
