What are the hazards of kidney qi deficiency
Insufficient energy
Kidney qi is the primary driving force for physiological activities in the human body, and people with sufficient kidney qi will also be refreshed and physically energetic; On the contrary, if the kidney qi is insufficient, the body operates slowly, lacks sufficient nourishment, and people become listless and yawn repeatedly.
Reduced resistance
Kidney qi is originally the yang qi of the body, supporting all physiological activities of the body. Kidney qi deficiency also reduces the body's ability to resist viruses, leading to a decrease in resistance, resulting in fear of cold and susceptibility to colds and fever.
Hearing loss
The kidney is associated with multiple organs in the human body, and the rise and fall of kidney qi determines the strength of the ear's auditory function. If kidney qi is insufficient, corresponding symptoms such as hearing loss and tinnitus can also occur in the ears. This is mainly a manifestation of kidney qi deficiency in elderly people.
have a pain in the back
When kidney qi is insufficient, the most susceptible area is the lower back, which often causes back pain and soreness. Its characteristic is a feeling of overwork, faint pain in the lower back, and even inability to straighten the waist in severe cases.
Black circles appear under the eyes
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that black represents the kidney, and over time, melanin accumulates in the eyes, revealing dark circles. This is a common manifestation of kidney deficiency in women, and women may also have symptoms of irregular menstruation and dark patches on their faces.
Severe hair loss
According to traditional Chinese medicine, observing the moisture level of hair can determine kidney qi. This is reasonable. If the kidney qi is insufficient to nourish the hair, it will lead to dry and easy hair loss.
