Three major misconceptions about tonifying the kidney. If you don't understand, the more you tonify, the more weak you become, and the worse you will be

For men, the function of the kidneys directly affects the physical function, but in daily life, we have misunderstandings about many ways to tonify the kidneys. So, what are the misconceptions about male kidney tonics? Below, the editor will review three misconceptions for you to stay away from, and the more you make up, the more empty you become.

Misunderstanding 1: Tinnitus is all kidney deficiency

Many people believe that tinnitus is caused by kidney deficiency, which is not accurate.

The kidney opens the orifices in the ear. If the kidney essence is insufficient, hearing loss will occur and tinnitus may occur, which may be manifested as cicadas, buzzing, and hissing in the ear. Therefore, when symptoms such as tinnitus, restlessness, and decreased hearing occur, it can be considered as kidney yin deficiency.

But tinnitus is not always caused by kidney deficiency, and there are many reasons for it. Wind heat invading tinnitus has a low and deep tone, and there is a feeling of fullness and blockage in the ears. It is often accompanied by lung meridian symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and cough. Treatment should start from the lungs. The type of liver fire disturbance is characterized by loud tinnitus, which is closely related to emotional changes and is often accompanied by symptoms of liver fire disturbance such as bitter mouth, irritability, and irritability. It should clear the liver and relieve heat. The type of tinnitus with phlegm stagnation and obstruction in the ear can be accompanied by chest tightness. The tongue is often plump and has tooth marks on the edges. The treatment should mainly focus on resolving phlegm and lowering turbidity, and promoting gastric opening. Patients with weak spleen and stomach type tinnitus often exhibit poor vitality, fatigue, and weakness. Treatment should strengthen the spleen and replenish qi.

It can be seen that not all tinnitus belongs to "kidney deficiency", and one-sided kidney tonifying is incorrect.

Misunderstanding 2: Kidney deficiency leads to lower back pain

Kidney governs bone, and the decline of kidney qi can induce osteoporosis, leading to back pain and back pain. However, back pain and back pain may not necessarily be due to kidney deficiency, but may also be due to other diseases such as lumbar muscle strain. The proportion of low back pain caused by kidney deficiency is higher in elderly people compared to other age groups, but overall, the proportion of low back pain caused by kidney deficiency is actually less than 1/4.

Low back distension and pain, accompanied by abdominal discomfort, fast pulse, and often due to depression and anger causing liver damage. Treatment should focus on nourishing the liver and regulating qi; Feeling low and feeling sad all day long, with continuous pain in the waist and abdomen, weakened digestive function, and mostly worrying about damaging the spleen, it can be appropriately invigorated.

Low back pain and pain can radiate upwards to the back, feeling a cold sensation on the back. I like heat therapy, and it is mostly caused by wind cold accompanied by dampness blocking the lumbar meridians. It should be warm and dissipate cold and dampness. Low back pain, swelling and fever, aggravated by prolonged sitting, hot weather, and rainy days, are mostly caused by dampness and heat. Treatment should focus on clearing dampness and heat. After flashing the waist, there is swelling and pain, afraid of being rubbed, which can cause pain at a touch. It is mostly due to qi stagnation and blood stasis, and should be accompanied by Qi and collaterals.

Low back pain, restlessness, body heat, thirst, and desire to drink water, but obstructed urination and defecation. This is often due to the accumulation of heat in the body after the invasion of evil fire, and should be cleared by purging heat. It can be seen that the manifestations and causes of different types of back pain are different. If there is no differentiation of symptoms and signs, when encountering back pain, it is considered as kidney deficiency, and it is definitely not feasible to make up for it.

Misunderstanding 3: Not being firm equals kidney deficiency

The idea that male dysfunction, such as lack of firmness, is related to "kidney deficiency", seems to have long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. The widespread promotion of tonifying and strengthening the kidney is somewhat excessive. Indeed, the kidney is the home of essence, responsible for growth and reproduction. The decline of kidney qi can lead to a decline in reproductive ability. However, not all non firmness is caused by kidney deficiency, and there must be no equal sign between the two.

A survey conducted by Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine on more than 700 patients with weak kidney disease showed that less than one-third of them were caused by kidney deficiency. There are many reasons for lack of firmness. In addition to kidney deficiency, traditional medicine believes that deficiency of both the heart and spleen, fear of damaging the kidneys, stagnation of liver qi, injection of dampness and heat, and blockage of blood vessels can all cause lack of firmness.

Therefore, not being firm is not something that can be solved solely by tonifying the kidneys. It is necessary to treat according to one's own cause, and never blindly tonify the kidneys when there is a lack of firmness. Many foods are natural kidney tonics that can be used in daily life to nourish the kidneys and nourish the skin.
