No more doctor visits! Doing this can help you self-check for kidney deficiency

People often feel weak and listless, have poor sleep and suffer from nightmares and night sweats. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this is caused by kidney deficiency. The kidney is the foundation of our constitution and has many important functions, including storing essence, controlling reproduction, controlling bone and marrow production, controlling the brain, controlling the hair, and opening the ears. It plays an extremely important role in warming, stimulating, moisturizing, and nourishing the internal organs, affecting their functioning. Modern white-collar workers should strengthen their physical exercise and take timely nourishing measures to improve symptoms of kidney deficiency and aging. If you are not an extremely weak person, kidney tonification should be mainly gentle, and it should vary according to time, person and place. Different kidney tonification methods should be selected according to different seasons, physical conditions and climates, and it should be done under the guidance of a doctor.

To self-check whether you have symptoms of kidney deficiency, you need to understand these aspects. 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 have frequent urination at night, often feel dizzy, have back pain and weak legs, dark circles under the eyes, and are prone to hair loss. In addition, visually inspecting the amount of urine to see if it is normal can also be used as a criterion for my testing.

1. Urinate more than three times at night under normal drinking conditions. The urination is weak and there is a lot of dripping.

2. Pour a small amount of urine into a glass of clean water. If the water remains clear, you are healthy. If it becomes turbid or has oil floating on the surface, it is most likely due to kidney deficiency.

3. I feel back pain if I sit and watch TV, use the computer or drive for more than two hours.

4. If you stand in the kitchen to cook for more than an hour, your legs will become weak.

5. I can’t lift anything heavy with my hands. My legs become weak after I climb to the third floor.

6. A lot of hair falls out when washing your hair.

7. My physical condition has deteriorated and I feel exhausted after staying up late.

8. I forget words when I pick up a pen and often make mistakes or miss words when writing. What I want to say, when the words are on the tip of my tongue, I just can’t remember them. I often forget things and lose track of things.

9. My eyesight is deteriorating rapidly. After watching TV or reading newspapers for a while, my eyes will feel swollen.

10. Always want to close your eyes and rest, unwilling to think about problems, and unable to concentrate.

11. I often dream and feel very tired in the dreams and feel tired when I wake up in the morning.

12. I always feel sleepy but can’t sleep well. After finally falling asleep, I keep waking up. I have the habit of listening to the radio or reading in the middle of the night.

If you have the above symptoms, it means that you do have symptoms of kidney deficiency, which requires you to take care of your body:

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. Resting on time is conducive to restoring the spirit.
