Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is the "congenital foundation" and "root of life.". "People with kidney deficiency or premature decline of kidney qi can exhibit disordered endocrine function, low immune function, and affect the physiological functions of other organs, leading to premature aging.".
Kidney stores essence and governs growth and development: Kidney stores essence and uses Qi as its function, which is related to human growth and development. The strength of kidney function plays a very important role in men. Generally speaking, how do we judge ourselves as deficient in kidney qi?
1. Changes in urine volume
"Normal people rarely urinate at night. If you find that you have to wake up several times during the night, and you don't drink much water before bedtime, you should be more vigilant about kidney disease.".
2. Changes in urine characteristics
Healthy urine: Transparent light yellow, with a slightly darker color when drinking more water or urinating for the first time in the morning.
If the urine color is red, or there is more foam in the urine, pay attention.
3. Edema
The kidney is the body's organ that metabolizes water. If the kidney is not good, water will accumulate. When I wake up in the morning and find my eyelids swollen, my feet and legs swollen, I should consider kidney problems.
4. Nausea, vomiting
Kidney disease can affect gastrointestinal function, leading to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite.
5. Pruritus of skin
If there is a kidney problem, the urea in the body cannot be excreted through urine, which can irritate the skin through skin excretion; The toxins accumulated in the body can cause peripheral neuropathy and also cause itching of the skin.
So, if the above symptoms occur, how can they be improved? When many people have kidney problems, the first thing they think of is tonifying the kidney. Without saying that the deficiency is not compensated, a single tonifying method cannot solve the essential problem at all.
Today, we will solve the problem one by one based on the above symptoms.
Changes in urination such as frequency and urgency of urination
Gold melon seed oil is known as "a man's good friend" and has significant effects on male prostate, kidney, and energy health. Many European and American men like to use gold melon seed oil to protect their prostate gland. Science has confirmed that Golden Melon Seed Oil contains an active biocatalyst component known as male hormones, which can inhibit prostate hyperplasia, improve the frequency of urination caused by prostate hypertrophy, urgency of urination, poor urination, and increased nocturnal urination.
For edema
Many people dare not drink water when they have edema, but this is actually a wrong approach. The normal excretion of toxins by the human body is also in the process of detoxification. If the toxins cannot be discharged through the urine in a timely manner, the toxins will continue to damage the kidneys. In fact, there are many folk foods that can improve edema, such as the common wild vegetables in rural areas: purslane and dandelion.
Many rural people feed pigs with purslane, but little is known that purslane is a good medicine for removing dampness and reducing swelling. Portulaca oleracea L. has the effects of clearing heat, removing dampness, detoxifying, detumescence, anti-inflammatory, and relieving itching. It is very suitable for the treatment of eczema caused by heavy moisture. At the same time, Portulaca oleracea L. is also a commonly used Chinese herbal medicine for skin diseases. Taraxacum mongolicum has a strong anti-inflammatory effect, but also has a good diuretic effect, commonly known as "bedwetting grass.". Urine can remove toxins from the body, reducing the burden on the kidneys.
Taraxacum purslane tea: purslane 5g, thicket 10g, barley seed 10g, red bean 10g, light bamboo leaf 3g, sophora japonica rice 3g, green tea 3g.
If you have a friend with itchy skin, you can mash it up with fresh dandelion and apply it to the affected area. The whole dandelion herb can be used as a medicine, with excellent heat clearing, detoxification, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory effects.
Finally, let me tell you a way to strengthen your kidneys without spending money: waist massage gymnastics
