Kidney Tonifying Tips for Both Men and Women

When it comes to "kidney deficiency", most people will want to make up for it. They don't need to see a doctor, especially men, and they won't easily seek medical attention. But did you know that kidney deficiency can bring various hazards?!

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. Simply put, it means premature aging.

Hazards of Kidney Deficiency

1、 Kidney Deficiency Injuries Spleen

"The kidney is congenital, the spleen is acquired, and the kidney yang is insufficient to warm the spleen yang, causing the spleen yang to become inactive or the spleen yang to become chronically deficient, which in turn impairs the kidney yang and leads to the deficiency of the kidney yang. Both can ultimately lead to the deficiency of the spleen and kidney yang.". Clinically, the main manifestations are digestive dysfunction and fluid metabolism disorders, such as: Wugengye, edema, and adverse urination.

2、 Kidney deficiency involving lung

"Kidney yin deficiency, yin deficiency, excessive fire, and burning of the lung yin can cause the lung to lose its freshness and moisture, resulting in deficiency of lung and kidney yin, including dry cough, hoarseness of voice, hot flashes and night sweats, redness of both cheekbones, soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, and male ejaculation.".

"Deficiency of kidney qi, loss of absorption in the lungs, leading to failure of the lower qi, loss of absorption in the qi, and inability to return to the root of the breathing qi. Coughing and shortness of breath can occur, excessive exhalation and insufficient absorption, especially when moving, as well as symptoms of kidney insufficiency such as waist soreness, knee weakness, or sweating and cold limbs.".

In addition, both the lungs and kidneys are involved in water metabolism, resulting in kidney yang deficiency, loss of qi, and unfavorable door closure, which can lead to increased edema, shortness of breath, coughing, and inability to lie down due to water cold.

3、 Kidney Deficiency Injuries Liver

The yin of the liver and kidney are closely related, mutually constrained, coordinated, and balanced, so they also affect each other in pathology. Deficiency of kidney yin can cause deficiency of liver yin, and failure of yin to control yang can lead to hyperactivity of liver yang. Signs of hyperactivity such as waist soreness and knee weakness, weight loss, dizziness and tinnitus can occur, and even uncontrolled hyperactivity of yang can lead to wind, showing signs of liver wind internal movement such as limb numbness and tremor.

Kidney Qi is fundamental

1. Sufficient kidney qi and sufficient vitality!

"We often use the term" extremely intelligent "to describe a person as being intelligent, but we don't know its other meaning - that is, people who worry too much about their brains often lose their hair earlier than the average person (except genetically), and may lose their hair very early.".

Although some people lose their hair, they are energetic, their eyes are bright, and their spirit is not weak, which indicates that their vitality is strong; Some people have hair loss, but their faces are dark, greasy, and unclean, their eyes are dark and turbid, and their spirit is declining. This indicates that their vitality is deficient, and their kidney essence is damaged. This is commonly seen in middle-aged and elderly patients with kidney deficiency and essence damage.

A person has sufficient kidney essence and vitality, which can be shown on the skull. A person with sufficient kidney essence has a strong skull, a plump and open forehead, and a talent for intelligence. There is a natural outward expansion and protruding momentum on the forehead, which was referred to by the ancients as "towering head corners", describing a person as young, promising, and extraordinary.

"People with weak vitality and insufficient kidney essence have dry skulls, narrow and dark foreheads, and insufficient brain power. The ancients called" "narrow forehead with a pointed head" "to describe a person with an obscene appearance and a low temperament.". Although this is a life and social experience summarized by the ancients, it is very consistent with traditional Chinese medicine.

2. Kidney Qi is sufficient and hair quality is good!

The beauty of the kidney is in the hair. "The essence of the kidney is all on the head. If you want to nourish the hair, you should nourish the kidney first. "The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine" states that throughout a person's entire life, the internal energy of a person is represented by "Tiangui" and "Shenqi", while the external manifestation is mainly manifested in aspects such as teeth, hair, muscles and bones, face, period break, and essence. Hair has been mentioned many times, such as:

"At the age of seven, a woman has abundant kidney qi, and her hair has long teeth. At the age of five or seven, her hair begins to fall. At the age of six or seven, her hair begins to white. At the age of eight, her husband has solid kidney qi, and her hair has long teeth. At the age of five or eight, her hair has fallen, and her teeth wither, and her hair has gray temples. At the age of eight, her teeth disappear." This indicates that the relationship between hair and kidney qi is extremely close, and is an important external manifestation of the rise and decline of kidney qi.

People with sufficient kidney energy usually have dense, black, tough, and shiny hair; In people with insufficient kidney essence, their hair tends to become sparse, scorched, or even prematurely white. Kidney water is insufficient, and hair becomes parched and dried up like grass without the moisture of rain and dew.

"Hair is surplus to blood." The liver stores blood, and if kidney water cannot nourish the liver wood, the liver blood will not be vigorous. Liver blood deficiency often leads to white hair. Therefore, we observe in life that those who are prone to losing their temper, those who like to stay up late, and those who use their brains excessively, their hair turns gray earlier than the average person.

3. Kidney Qi is sufficient, and mind is agile!

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, "the kidney governs the bone and generates marrow, while the brain is the sea of marrow.". If the kidney essence is sufficient, the bones are solid and the brain marrow is full; Deficiency of kidney essence results in empty bones and fewer brain and marrow deficits. With sufficient kidney essence and vitality, a person's mental, physical, courage, and mobility are all abundant, and natural causes are easy to succeed;

On the contrary, if the kidney essence is insufficient, the whole person's spirit, energy, and spirit are depleted, and wisdom recedes, making it easy to go downhill. Regardless of career or life, when encountering difficulties, they will stagnate, naturally resulting in low achievements.

But everything is not absolute. Some people have small heads and small foreheads, but the essence is like a plump little pine nut, which is ordinary in appearance but rich in nutrition; Some people, despite their impressive appearance, are inwardly empty, like an empty melon seed without seeds, which often has a large shell, but when bitten open, they find the inside empty.

There is a saying called "Xiang is born from the heart." We see in the Buddhist scriptures that one of the "32 Xiang" and "80 Kinds of Good" of the Buddha is the "top meat bun Xiang", which actually represents sufficient Yang Qi. "People with sufficient kidney essence always have their heads protruding outwards, so we see many portraits of eminent monks with lofty heads, which represent wisdom and mental brilliance.".
