Can you distinguish kidney deficiency by looking at your nails? Kidney deficiency in men can also be divided into four types
Kidney deficiency is a traditional Chinese medicine term that generally refers to the deficiency of kidney essence and yin and yang, including kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency. If it occurs in men, guess it is accompanied by a decrease in growth and reproductive function. Therefore, male friends must pay attention to the symptoms of kidney deficiency and pay attention to timely tonifying the kidneys. Let's take a look at the symptoms of male kidney deficiency.
Identifying Kidney Deficiency by Looking at Nails
If the nail is at the end of the human body, and the surface of the nail is smooth and moist, and the red and white areas above the half moon mark are faintly displayed, it indicates that Qi and blood can fully flow to the ends. On the contrary, if the nails have black stasis, it indicates that qi and blood cannot flow fully to the ends, and the meridians at the ends may have already become blocked.
If some white spots are found on the nails, it may mean that there is insufficient qi and blood to maintain normal peripheral microcirculation, and the internal organs themselves start to lack qi and blood from the surface microcirculation. And this can be considered a manifestation of kidney deficiency, as the supply of qi and blood decreases. We particularly need to pay attention to the condition of the little finger in our hands and feet. The little finger corresponds to the kidney, and if the little finger is pale in color, with white spots, or even dry, it indicates kidney qi deficiency. And this is something that big families often overlook, mostly thinking that sweating and low libido are considered kidney deficiency, and it was already severe at that time.
If the semi lunar scars on the nails have a large curvature and good luster, it indicates that the person's qi and blood are relatively abundant, reflecting the nutrients accumulated by the kidneys. However, being too large is not a good thing, as it indicates that accumulating too much nutrients can lead to diseases such as cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, hypertension, and stroke. We particularly need to pay attention to the condition of the little finger in our hands and feet. The little finger corresponds to the kidney, and if the little finger is pale in color, with white spots, or even dry, it indicates kidney qi deficiency. And this is something that big families often overlook, mostly thinking that sweating and low libido are considered kidney deficiency, and it was already severe at that time.
Introduction to 8 Symptoms of Kidney Deficiency in Men
Chilly limbs
'Fear of cold' refers to feeling afraid of the cold and afraid of the wind. Limb cold "refers to the symptoms of cold limbs, hands, and feet, even reaching the elbow and knee joints. Fear of cold and limb coldness often accompanies kidney deficiency symptoms such as lower back and knee pain, mental fatigue, lack of energy and lazy speech, and lack of thirst.
Excessive sexual activity
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney stores essence, which transforms into kidney yin and kidney yang, playing a nourishing and warming role in the five organs and six organs. Kidney yin and kidney yang are interdependent and mutually restrictive in the human body, maintaining the physiological balance of the body. If this balance is disrupted or one side declines, pathological changes will occur, and men will experience symptoms such as impotence, premature ejaculation, slippery semen, and semen diseases.
Dizziness, weakness, insomnia, and dreaminess
The kidney, as one of the important organs in the human body, nourishes and warms other organs. If other organs remain ill for a long time, it is easy to damage the kidneys. Many chronic diseases, such as chronic hepatitis, coronary heart disease, bronchial asthma, hypertension, etc., are often accompanied by symptoms of kidney deficiency.
Asthma
The kidneys have the function of "absorbing qi". Due to kidney deficiency and inability to absorb qi, it can cause shortness of breath, excessive exhalation and insufficient inhalation, making it difficult for you to breathe freely. In severe cases, accompanied by asthma, symptoms such as increased wheezing and cold sweating may also occur.
Lumbago
Low back pain is fundamentally due to kidney deficiency and can be divided into internal injury and strain. Internal injury kidney deficiency generally refers to congenital deficiency, prolonged illness, physical deficiency, or excessive fatigue. Mild individuals may have difficulty bending or standing upright, while severe individuals may experience symptoms such as heel pain and low back fatigue; Strain refers to physical overload or long-term work in the same fixed position (such as using a computer or driving), which can damage kidney qi and lead to insufficient kidney essence.
Dizziness and tinnitus
Many people have experienced a feeling of dizziness, which is not pleasant due to blurred eyes, spinning around, and nausea and vomiting. Moreover, dizziness patients often have tinnitus, which hinders hearing and can even lead to deafness in the long run. The causes of dizziness and tinnitus are often related to the liver and kidneys. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is said that "the kidney stores essence and generates marrow, and the marrow gathers to form the brain." Therefore, kidney deficiency can lead to insufficient marrow, loss of nourishment in the brain, dizziness, and tinnitus.
Constipation
Constipated people often experience symptoms such as anal fissure and hemorrhoids due to difficulty in defecation, which affects their work and life and is unbearable. Although constipation belongs to the conduction dysfunction of the large intestine, its root cause is due to kidney deficiency, as the kidney opens the door to the two yin and governs the two stools. The conduction of stool must be stimulated and nourished by kidney qi to function properly.
Low back pain and leg pain, frequent urination and urgency
Sitting in the car for a long time with a stiff and unchanging body, coupled with mental tension during driving, can lead to qi stagnation and blood stasis, ultimately leading to kidney deficiency.
