Both men and women really need to make up for this place on the Qixi Festival

Both men and women need to nourish their kidneys. Kidney deficiency is a general term, which is mainly divided into kidney yang deficiency and kidney yin deficiency, and the symptoms of these two are different. Patients with kidney yang deficiency are afraid of cold and have edema, while patients with kidney yin deficiency mainly have haggard faces.

1. Patients with kidney yang deficiency

Fear of cold, edema, cold pain in waist and legs, frequent urination, chronic diarrhea accompanied by manifestations of sexual dysfunction, impotence, spermatorrhea, and premature ejaculation.

2. Patients with kidney yin deficiency

The main symptoms are haggard appearance, back pain, and lower limb weakness. Diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cerebral thrombosis, uremia, renal failure, etc. are all complications of kidney disease caused by late-stage kidney deficiency. In the early stages, most people just feel a little kidney deficiency, and most people think they are not sick and don't pay attention to it, thus neglecting the maintenance of the kidneys.

Test yourself to see if you have kidney deficiency. If you have three of the following symptoms, be careful, because your kidneys may have weak symptoms:

Symptoms of kidney deficiency in women

Many women think that kidney deficiency is only a man's problem and that kidney tonification is a man's privilege, and they never imagine that women can also suffer from kidney deficiency. What if you often suffer from back pain, and after removing your makeup you find that your face looks haggard, your eyes have dark circles, and your hair lacks luster? This may be caused by kidney deficiency.

1. Decreased memory. I can’t remember what I thought of yesterday today.

4. Hair loss. When I woke up in the morning, there were a lot of hairs on my pillow. Women's breasts begin to sag and fat accumulates around their waists and abdomens.

5. Weak waist and knees. If you bend over for a long time or do a little exercise, you will feel back pain; if you stand for a long time, you will feel leg pain.

6. Dark circles and eye bags appear. When I woke up in the morning and looked in the mirror, I found that my eyes had become puffy, and I had terrible eye bags and dark circles. I often felt eye pain and dizziness, and I no longer saw things clearly.

7. Problems with urination. Frequently getting up at night and having frequent urination during the day (kidney yang deficiency) or symptoms of small amount of yellow urine (kidney yin deficiency).

8. Insomnia. I often have trouble sleeping at night, and even if I do fall asleep, I am always in a dreaming state, and the quality of sleep is very poor.

If you have the symptoms mentioned above, it means you need to nourish your kidneys.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that kidney deficiency is the root cause of human disease, and the treatment of many visceral diseases should start with tonifying the kidney.

Foot bath to nourish the kidneys

The kidney meridian starts at the Yongquan point on the sole of the foot, and soaking your feet is a way to replenish the kidney from the source. If you want to achieve a better kidney-nourishing effect, you need some tips.

① Rub your waist with both hands

While soaking your feet, rub your lower back, warm your palms, and rub your lower back up and down for 3 to 5 minutes.

"The waist is the home of the kidneys." Rubbing the waist while soaking your feet can dredge the meridians, promote qi and blood circulation, warm the kidneys and strengthen the waist, and expel cold and dampness from the body. Persisting in doing this will be very helpful in improving symptoms such as yang deficiency, fear of cold, back pain, and rising of virtual fire.

② Close your eyes and rest

Soaking your feet is a kind of enjoyment in itself. When your whole body is relaxed, the blood circulation is smoothest. At this time, it is best to put down your mobile phone, close your eyes and relax, which will have an excellent rest effect. Imagine that you have nothing to do, everything is done, just stay there and let whatever feelings happen.

③ Adding materials to the medicine bag

If you have a cold body and poor kidneys, pale complexion, weak limbs, etc., add some safflower, mugwort, and dried ginger to the foot bath water, and soak for a while, and your kidneys and face will get better. There is a foot bath bag with traditional formula in the mall, just buy it and use it.
