Since ancient Chinese medicine believed that "liver and kidney are homologous", should we tonify the kidney when regulating? Should we still supplement the liver? The classic Chinese medicine book "Su Wen. The Great Theory of Yin Yang Correspondence" states: "The kidney generates the bone marrow, and the marrow generates the liver. We believe that the liver, as the "general officer" of the human body, has the ability to regulate the whole body's qi and emotions. The kidney, also known as the "innate foundation" of the human body, can store essence and transform it into qi and blood, regulating reproduction. Both have the same root and source.
So when tonifying, the liver and kidney are not divided in order, but are adjusted according to the severity of symptoms.
If liver and kidney are insufficient, what symptoms will we experience?
If the human liver and kidney are insufficient, problems such as low mood, depression, chest tightness, chest pain, bitter mouth, low back pain, dry eyes, blurred vision, cold hands and feet, flat nails, loose stools, hair loss, impotence, premature ejaculation, etc. may occur.
What are the causes of liver and kidney deficiency in the human body?
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that there are several main reasons for liver and kidney deficiency:
Firstly, due to congenital inheritance, kidney essence deficiency, insufficient blood circulation, and prolonged failure of the liver to store blood, the liver and kidneys are also insufficient.
Secondly, the loss of nourishment, improper maintenance, lack of attention to dietary regulation, or frequent sexual activity between men and women, as well as unhealthy lifestyles such as masturbation, ejaculation, staying up late, and excessive alcohol consumption, can all damage the liver and kidneys.
So how should we benefit the liver and kidneys?
We will introduce to you from the following aspects:
1. Changing Bad Habits
Staying up late watching my phone, singing all night, and staying up late in the morning Wait, don't you know everyone has these bad habits?
In fact, our body has a biological clock that conforms to the laws of nature. We work at sunrise and rest at sunset, but now many people go to bed late, which can disrupt the body's movement, causing qi deficiency and kidney deficiency, yin and yang imbalance, leading to symptoms such as dark circles under the eyes, back pain, qi deficiency and fatigue, and decreased sexual function. So when regulating, we should focus on calming the mind and nourishing the liver and kidneys.
The following sleeping posture can assist in the cultivation of the liver and kidneys, and is helpful in calming the mind and mind.
Yang recumbent: When sleeping, we can relax and naturally lie flat, with our feet facing each other and feet raised to the perineum. Our palms should be placed around the base of our thighs, with the palms facing our abdomen. This posture can increase the contact area between our body and bed, making it more relaxed and conducive to the flow of qi and blood, achieving the effect of calming the mind.
2. Moderate sexual activity between men and women
As the saying goes, "one drop of semen and ten drops of blood", although the statement is somewhat exaggerated, it also shows that semen is very important for our human body. Some of our friends often linger among the "flowers" and wait until problems such as yang, impotence, premature ejaculation, etc. come to our doorstep before seeking help. This not only hurts our body but also our money. Why bother?
Our traditional Chinese medicine believes that appropriate sexual activity can soothe the qi flow, but excessive sexual activity can damage the liver and kidneys. Similarly, men's unhealthy lifestyles such as hand, sexual activity, sexual desire, and sexual activity can also cause liver and kidney depletion. Therefore, sexual activity between men and women should be relaxed and not excessive.
Moreover, after sexual intercourse, doing the following actions often has certain benefits for the maintenance of essence and liver and kidney:
Rubbing the waist: After each sexual activity, place your hands tightly against your waist and lie on your back in bed for 5-10 minutes. The heat will gradually spread throughout your body. At the beginning, when the palms are pressed down by the waist, there will be numbness and bloating, which can be adjusted and eliminated after 3-5 days, and the legs will feel relaxed and flexible. Whether it's night or day, as long as you lie in bed and stick your hands and backs tightly against your kidneys for half an hour, you can achieve remarkable results.
3. Adjusting low emotions
Low mood can cause stagnation of liver qi, which can turn into fire for a long time. If the liver fire is strong, it can boil kidney essence, leading to deficiency of both liver and kidney. So, maintaining good emotions is crucial.
Listening to soothing music or engaging in appropriate exercise is a good way to regulate the body.
4. Relieve liver and kidney qi blockage
In our years of clinical conditioning experience, we have found that many friends with liver and kidney deficiency are due to the lack of qi in the liver and kidney, resulting in insufficient liver and kidney channels, resulting in loose stools, hair loss, yang deficiency, premature ejaculation, and other problems.
So, if a friend needs to regulate due to liver and kidney deficiency, we recommend that you often do the following small action to ensure smooth operation of the liver and kidney qi:
Stretching liver and kidney method:
Step 1: Open your feet, put your right hand on the back of your head, and put your left hand in the middle of your scapula.
Step 2: Lift the tip of the right elbow upwards, gradually bending the body towards the left side for 5-10 seconds.
Step 3: Slowly erect your body, open your arms, and lift them flat.
Step 4: Place the left hand upward on the back of the brain and the right hand downward on the scapula.
Step 5: Lift the tip of the left elbow upwards, gradually bending the body towards the left side for 5-10 seconds.
The above group of small movements can exercise the ribs that we often overlook, and have a strong effect on soothing the liver and regulating qi.
