What to do if you have damp-heat in your body and kidney yin deficiency

1. Treatment of Kidney Yin Deficiency Caused by Damp Heat

You can eat more spleen-strengthening foods in your daily life, such as yam, lotus seeds, and red dates, which are better. In normal times, be careful not to drink alcohol and eat less greasy food. This disease is mainly caused by liver-spleen disharmony, liver failure to release qi, qi disorder, spleen and stomach weakness, spleen failure to function properly, and inability to transport and transform food and body fluids. It can be induced or aggravated by factors such as a habit of spicy food, fatigue and staying up late. Avoid spicy food and eat a light diet. You can wash your face and feet with warm water to promote blood circulation and improve symptoms.

2. Diet therapy for damp-heat and kidney yin deficiency

You can cook some coix seed porridge to drink. Coix seed can promote diuresis and eliminate dampness, clear away heat and strengthen the spleen. In addition, cucumber, winter melon, mung bean and black bean can also play the role of clearing heat and dampness, and are good choices. As for nourishing yin, you can try to make tea with wolfberry and lily, and cook porridge with white fungus, or eat some black sesame paste. Eat less spicy food, keep a good mood, drink more water, and soak your feet in warm water before going to bed.

3. Use Astragalus with caution in patients with damp-heat and kidney yin deficiency

For patients with kidney disease caused by yin deficiency, dampness, heat and heat toxicity, the use of Astragalus will generally cause toxic side effects and should be prohibited. Because Astragalus is sweet and slightly warm in nature, taking it will cause heat in patients with Yin deficiency, which can easily damage Yin and cause bleeding; while taking it in patients with excessive damp heat and heat toxicity can easily cause evil to stagnate, making their condition worse. If you must take Astragalus, you must use it in combination.

Stay up late less, maintain a regular schedule, and eat on time. We must first pay attention to the basic issues of life patterns and eating. All diseases are related to this. Otherwise, no matter how many bitter medicines you take, the disease cannot be cured. It is also very important to maintain a person's innate constitution. One should not be lazy and should eat on time. It is best to eat at regular times and in regular amounts, or to eat small meals frequently, which is also beneficial to the regulation of spleen and stomach function. When the spleen and stomach are healthy, the metabolism will naturally speed up, and excess water in the body can be metabolized smoothly without producing moisture after being left for a long time.
