Is tonifying the kidney an aphrodisiac? Obviously not. Many men are not very familiar with tonifying the kidneys. What should men pay attention to when tonifying their kidneys? What are the misconceptions of tonifying the kidney?
Tonifying the kidney is to strengthen yang
Kidney deficiency can manifest some kidney related functional decline. For example, slow brain response, low sexual function, susceptibility to fractures, excessive nocturia, inability to hold urine, and weak waist and legs. Most of them are situations that middle-aged people are prone to, so it cannot be generalized. Do not think that as long as the above symptoms occur, they are related to kidney deficiency. Deficiency refers to a decrease in body function, nutritional deficiency, etc. And many people mistake kidney tonifying drugs for aphrodisiacs.
Some patients, due to symptoms such as low back pain and fatigue, dizziness and tinnitus, mental fatigue and forgetfulness, make requests to "tonify the kidneys". Some patients easily believe the propaganda in illegal advertisements, buy drugs at will, blindly tonify the kidneys, and only seek medical attention after experiencing adverse reactions.
Kidney deficiency is divided into kidney yang deficiency and kidney yin deficiency
Traditional Chinese medicine has always emphasized the balance of yin and yang in the human body. If "yin deficiency" leads to "tonifying yang" or "yang deficiency" leads to "tonifying yin", it will disrupt the balance of the human body and worsen the condition. For example, if a person with kidney yin deficiency takes the Golden Chamber Kidney Qi Pill, it is incorrect because this medicine is for tonifying yang and is suitable for people with kidney yang deficiency. Therefore, when using traditional Chinese medicine to tonify the kidney, it is necessary to first differentiate the symptoms and signs. The practice of blindly tonifying the kidney without distinguishing between "yin deficiency" and "yang deficiency" is wrong. Kidney deficiency is divided into five types: Kidney Yin deficiency (fear of cold), Kidney Yang deficiency (dry mouth and throat, easy to catch fire), Kidney Qi deficiency (insufficient energy, excessive nocturia), Kidney Essence deficiency (prone to hair loss and weak semen), and Yin Yang deficiency (fear of cold and heat).
