There are so many people who can tonify the kidney, why are you the only one? The more tonifying, the more deficient

TV commercials say every day that this is kidney deficiency, and that it is necessary to tonify the kidney. I wish the whole country had kidney deficiency!

But seriously, do you really have kidney deficiency? If it is really kidney deficiency, how should it be replenished?

First, let's take a look

▼▼▼

Is your kidney weak or not?

Many people believe that kidney deficiency=kidney disease, but actually the two are not the same thing.

The so-called "kidney deficiency" in traditional Chinese medicine is mostly caused by congenital dysplasia, insufficient endowment, or improper postnatal care, such as overwork, frequent sexual activity, etc.

Kidney deficiency may be manifested as low back pain, fear of cold in limbs, dizziness, tinnitus, dizziness, frequent nocturnal urination, decreased sexual quality of life, and many other symptoms.

To put it simply, it means premature aging.

It can be seen that the "kidney" in traditional Chinese medicine is a functional concept. "Kidney deficiency in traditional Chinese medicine and kidney disease in Western medicine cannot be equated. The concepts of the two are different, but they can coexist and intersect.".

Is it spicy? Is it because of low back pain or kidney deficiency?

Not necessarily! From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, low back pain may also be caused by factors such as congestion, damp heat, and wind chill, not necessarily due to kidney deficiency.

Therefore, when low back pain occurs, promptly go to the hospital to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. Do not casually label yourself as "kidney deficiency" and take various "kidney tonifying" herbs on your own, delaying proper treatment.

Some people become more and more deficient because

There is no differentiation of physical symptoms and signs to supplement ah!

In fact, dietary conditioning is based on the nature of different foods, such as cold, hot, warm, and cool, to regulate and nourish the kidneys. The principle is the same as medication, and it is necessary to first identify your own constitution before you can do so.

Kidney deficiency is mainly divided into four types: kidney yang deficiency, kidney yin deficiency, kidney essence deficiency, and kidney qi deficiency. The first two are the most common, and some people may also experience both yin and yang deficiency at the same time.

1. Kidney Yang Deficiency

Yang deficiency leads to cold. Therefore, kidney yang deficiency mainly manifests as "cold" symptoms, such as cold pain in the waist and knees, chills in the limbs, and chills.

It may also be accompanied by poor sexual function in men, such as premature ejaculation, ejaculation, clear and thin leucorrhea in women, and infertility after marriage.

The key to conditioning is to enhance the yang qi of the human kidney, and it is appropriate to warm the kidney and replenish yang.

For those with kidney yang deficiency, appropriate medicinal materials such as Morinda officinalis, Cinnamomum cassia, cooked aconite, Eucommia ulmoides Oliv, Cynanchum officinalis, Psoralea corylifolia, Epimedium, Cistanche deserticola, Dipsacus, Deer horn cream, and Cynomorium songaricum can be selected for recuperation.

Stewed Pig's Feet with Shredded Pork

Take 20 grams of Drynaria, 20 grams of Achyranthes bidentata, 30 grams of Cuscuta chinensis, 15 grams of Chuanduan, and 2 pigs' feet.

Wrap the above four medicinal gauze and place them in a pot together with the pig's hoof. Add water and a suitable amount of yellow wine, and stew until the pig's hoof is cooked. Eat the pig's hoof and drink soup. Once a day.

Note: It is not suitable for people with hot constitution and cold.

2. Deficiency of kidney yin

Yin deficiency leads to heat, so kidney-yin deficiency is mainly characterized by "heat" symptoms, such as soreness in the waist and knees, weakness in limbs, dry heat, night sweats, dry mouth and throat, yellow urine and dry stool, hyperactivity, tinnitus, and so on.

For those with kidney yin deficiency, the emphasis is on nourishing the kidney and nourishing yin. Suitable medicinal materials can be selected, such as cooked Rehmannia glutinosa, Ligustrum lucidum, mulberry, cornus officinalis, wolfberry fruit, Eclipta chinensis, Turtle shell, Tribulus terrestris, etc.

Privet fruit Congee

Take 20 grams of Ligustrum lucidum, 50 grams of Chinese wolfberry, 50 grams of yam (mashed), and 100 grams of rice.

First, add some water to the privet fruit and medlar, and then filter the juice. Then add yam and rice to cook Congee, which can be eaten as breakfast.

3. Deficiency of renal essence

There may be symptoms such as hair loss, forgetfulness, loose teeth, and decreased sexual function, as well as symptoms such as oligospermia in men and amenorrhea in women.

When kidney essence is insufficient, medicinal materials such as deer horn glue, tortoise shell glue, purple river chariot, deer antler, yellow essence, cooked glutinous rice, wolfberry, cherry blossom, ginseng, etc. can be used.

4. Kidney Qi Deficiency

There are manifestations of qi deficiency, such as shortness of breath, spontaneous sweating, fatigue, pale complexion, frequent urination, premature ejaculation, pale tongue fur, and weak pulse.

For those with deficiency of kidney qi, it is advisable to replenish kidney qi. Medicinal materials such as Codonopsis pilosula, Astragalus membranaceus, Poria cocos, Chinese yam, Schisandra chinensis, Atractylodes macrocephala, keel, oyster, etc. can be appropriately selected.

A bottle of Liuwei Dihuang Pills can kill people?

When it comes to tonifying the kidney, many people will think of the classic Liuwei Dihuang pill. Little is known that Liuwei Dihuang Pill is more inclined to treat kidney yin deficiency and is not suitable for people with kidney yang deficiency.

Whether it's a dietary prescription for tonifying the kidney or taking kidney tonifying drugs, it's important to first ask a Chinese medicine practitioner to identify symptoms and treat them under their guidance~

Of course, the prevention and treatment of kidney deficiency cannot be achieved by a single drug or diet. Maintaining a happy mood, not overworking, eating a proper diet, not indulging in excess, not staying up late, etc., are indispensable.
