Traditional Chinese Medicine Kidney Tonifying
In traditional Chinese medicine theory, the kidney is not just a tangible organ, but a collective term for the kidney and its related functional activities. Pathological changes in human spirit, bones, hair, teeth, etc. may be closely related to the kidney, and its scope is wider than that of Western medicine.
The essence of the kidney can be divided into two aspects in terms of its function: kidney yin and kidney yang. Kidney yin and kidney yang are interdependent and mutually restrictive, maintaining the dynamic balance of the human body. When this balance is disrupted, pathological changes such as kidney yin, kidney yang deficiency, or excess will occur.
In clinical practice, kidney yin deficiency is more common than yang deficiency, therefore, there is a certain misconception that tonifying the kidney is to enhance yang.
The manifestations of kidney yang deficiency are pale or swarthy complexion, cold waist and knees, cold limbs, mental fatigue, and overall fatigue; Male impotence and premature ejaculation, female infertility, decreased libido; Malformed or frequent urination, clear and prolonged urination, frequent nocturnal urination, pale tongue coating, and diarrhea during the fifth shift.
The manifestations of kidney yin deficiency are redness in the face, soreness and pain in the waist and knees, dizziness and tinnitus, and loose and detached teeth; Male enuresis, premature ejaculation, and female oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea; Insomnia and forgetfulness, dry mouth and throat, irritability, sweating when moving, red cheekbones in the afternoon, emaciated body, yellow and little urine, red tongue with little or no fur.
Due to high work pressure and limited physical activity, modern people are prone to systemic organ dysfunction, with kidney deficiency being one of them.
Several points for simple assessment of renal function
People with good kidney function have good mental health, light footsteps, good sleep, and good hearing and vision. On the contrary, people with poor kidney function often have frequent nocturia, dizziness, low back pain, soft legs, dark circles under the eyes, and are prone to hair loss.
In addition, to judge the quality of one's kidney function, one should also pay attention to daily urine output. Generally, a normal person's daily urine output should be around 1000-2000 milliliters (equivalent to 2-4 mineral water bottles). If it is more than 2500 milliliters or less than 800 milliliters, it may be due to kidney problems.
To prevent premature aging, modern people, especially white-collar workers, should strengthen physical exercise and timely nourish the symptoms of kidney deficiency and aging. If it is not an extremely weak population, tonifying the kidney should focus on calmness, and different methods should be chosen according to different seasons, constitutions, and climates, depending on the time, person, and location. This should be done under the guidance of a doctor.
