What Chinese patent medicine should I take for liver and kidney deficiency?

In our daily lives, we often encounter problems such as sore waist and knees, dizziness, tinnitus, and feverishness. Many people think that this is because they are too tired from work or study, but the more common reason is insufficient kidney qi, which is more common in men. There are actually many ways to nourish the kidneys, but the most effective and direct way is to take some Chinese patent medicines. What are the Chinese patent medicines that have such effects?

1. Gorgon Fruit

"Shennong's Herbal Classic" records that Gorgon fruit "replenishes the middle, eliminates explosive diseases, and benefits the essence and qi", and is believed to have a good effect of tonifying the kidney, replenishing essence, and astringing qi. "Bencao Congxin" also says: "Gorgon fruit nourishes the spleen and strengthens the kidney, helps qi and astringes semen, and treats nocturnal emission and spermatorrhea." It is often used to strengthen the kidney and retain semen, nourish the spleen and stop diarrhea, etc. It is known as the "ginseng in water" and is suitable for kidney-tonifying in summer. People usually stir-fry 60 grams of Euryale ferox and 100 grams of lean beef, add seasoning and cook until soft. Or use 60 grams of Euryale ferox, 10 grams of red dates, 30 grams of peanuts, and add appropriate amount of brown sugar to make a tonic soup.

2. Polygonum multiflorum

It nourishes the liver and kidneys, improves the essence and blood, and is used for menopausal symptoms of yin deficiency and excessive fire, dizziness, restlessness, insomnia, and irritability. It can also be used for chronic renal failure. You can try Polygonum multiflorum liver slices: 50 grams of Polygonum multiflorum, boil it to extract the juice, 100 grams of pork liver, slice it and stir-fry it, then add the Polygonum multiflorum juice.

3. Wolfberry

The kidney-tonifying effect of wolfberry is quite strong. The key thing to pay attention to when eating wolfberry is the amount. Generally speaking, a handful a day is enough. Just chew it like raisins. People with Yin deficiency should pay attention to the dosage of wolfberry, because wolfberry is sweet and mild in nature. Excessive dosage can cause getting inflamed, especially when eaten raw, the dosage should be reduced.

4. Lotus seeds

The lotus seeds on the market are divided into red lotus seeds and white lotus seeds. Red lotus seeds have a harder texture, but are better at nourishing the kidney and blood; white lotus seeds have a fragrant and glutinous taste, and are more effective in strengthening the spleen. In addition to traditional ways of eating lotus seeds, such as lotus seed porridge, red dates, white fungus and lotus seed soup, and white fungus and lotus seed soup, making tea with lotus seed core is more effective in removing heart heat, while making lotus seeds into wine is more effective in strengthening the kidneys.

5. Pumpkin seeds

Pumpkin seeds are foods rich in zinc, which has the effect of nourishing the kidneys and helps improve male fertility. Pumpkin seeds contain a lot of zinc, which can improve sperm quality to a great extent. Therefore, men should eat more pumpkin seeds when they get older to replenish their kidney qi. Eating about 50 grams of fried pumpkin seeds every day can effectively prevent and treat prostate diseases. This is because pumpkin seeds are rich in fatty acids, which can keep the prostate functioning well.
