How does TCM check for kidney deficiency?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that people with good kidney function have good spirits, brisk steps, good sleep, and sharp hearing and eyes. On the contrary, people with poor kidney function, that is, people with kidney deficiency, often have frequent urination at night, dizziness, back pain, weak legs, dark circles under the eyes, and are prone to hair loss.

In addition, to judge the quality of your kidney function, you should also pay attention to your daily urine volume. Generally speaking, a normal person's daily urine volume should be around 1000-2000 ml (equivalent to 2-4 mineral water bottles). More than 2500 ml or less than 800 ml may indicate kidney problems. Here is a simple way for men to check whether they have kidney deficiency.

Daily health care methods for kidney deficiency:

1. Perform waist exercises regularly. These exercises can strengthen the life gate, replenish the kidneys and absorb qi. You can also do more massage to stimulate the soles of your feet. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the Yongquan point on the soles of your feet is where turbid air descends. Regularly massaging the Yongquan point can replenish your essence and kidneys, strengthen your body, prevent premature aging, and it can also soothe the liver and improve eyesight, clear the throat and calm the mind, promote sleep, and increase appetite.

2. Sexual life should be moderate, neither forced nor indulgent.

3. Diet: When you feel weak and tired, eat more foods containing iron and protein, such as fungus, jujube, black chicken, etc.; those with indigestion should drink more yogurt and eat hawthorn; to protect your kidneys on a daily basis, eat more leeks, sea cucumbers, ginseng, black chicken, domestic pigeons, etc.

4. Adequate sleep is also an important guarantee for men to restore their energy and spirit. No matter how stressful the work is or how many worries there are at home, you must rest on time when it is time to go to bed.
