What are the methods of TCM to nourish the kidney?

Modern people are under great pressure at work, so it is difficult for them to take time out to exercise regularly, which can easily lead to a decline in body functions. Kidney deficiency is a relatively common one. If people suffer from kidney deficiency, it will cause great harm to the patient's health, so they need to go to the hospital for treatment in time. So how can kidney deficiency be treated with traditional Chinese medicine?

Tonifying the kidney requires distinguishing between yin and yang

In traditional Chinese medicine theory, the kidney is not just a tangible organ, but a general term for the kidney and a series of functional activities related to it. For example, pathological changes in a person's spirit, bones, hair, teeth, etc. may be closely related to the kidney. Its scope is wider than that of Western medicine.

The kidney's essence can be divided into two aspects: kidney yin and kidney yang. Kidney yin and kidney yang are interdependent and restrictive to maintain the dynamic balance of the human body. When this balance is disrupted, pathological changes such as the decline or excess of kidney yin and kidney yang will occur.

Clinically, kidney yin deficiency is more common than yang deficiency. Therefore, there is a certain misunderstanding in the concept that tonifying the kidney means strengthening yang.

The symptoms of kidney yang deficiency are pale or dark complexion, soreness and coldness of waist and knees, cold limbs, mental fatigue, general weakness, impotence and premature ejaculation in men, infertility in women, loss of libido, unformed stools or frequent and clear urination, frequent urination at night, pale tongue with white coating, and diarrhea at dawn.

The symptoms of kidney yin deficiency are red complexion, soreness and pain in the waist and knees, dizziness and tinnitus, loose teeth and hair loss, spermatorrhea and premature ejaculation in men, oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea, insomnia and forgetfulness in women, dry mouth and throat, irritability, sweating when moving, red cheeks in the afternoon, weight loss, yellow urine and less amount of coating, and red tongue with little or no coating.
