Medicinal herbs for nourishing waist and kidney

Nowadays, more and more people suffer from back pain and kidney deficiency. Nourishing the waist and kidneys has become a topic that many people are concerned about. There are many ways to nourish the waist and kidneys, including through diet therapy, through medicinal herbs, and through exercise. Among them, supplementing with medicinal materials is a common and effective method. So what are the medicinal herbs that can nourish the waist and kidneys? Let me introduce it in detail below.

1. Medicinal materials for strengthening the waist and kidneys

1. Poria

Medical theory: Poria cocos is mild in nature and sweet in taste. It has the effects of removing dampness, detoxifying and opening up the joints. The weather in Guangdong is hot and dry all year round, and Guangdong people usually use Poria cocos to clear away heat, detoxify and remove dampness. Health-preserving secret: Turtle soup with Chinese yam can clear away heat and detoxify. Here is another dish of Poria cocos and chestnut porridge: 15 grams of Poria cocos, 25 grams of chestnuts, 10 dates, and 100 grams of polished rice. Add water and cook chestnuts, jujubes and glutinous rice first; grind Poria cocos into powder, add it slowly when the rice is half cooked, stir well, and cook until the chestnuts are cooked through.

Note: People with liver and kidney yin deficiency should take this medicine with caution, and avoid drinking tea while taking this medicine.

2. Eucommia ulmoides

Medical theory: It has the effects of nourishing the waist, strengthening the kidneys and consolidating the kidneys. Health-preserving secrets: Here I would like to recommend a peanut, eucommia and oxtail soup. This soup has the effects of nourishing blood, benefiting the kidneys, and strengthening muscles and bones. Wash and soak peanuts (60g); put Eucommia ulmoides (20g) in a pot, sprinkle with light salt water, and fry over low heat until dry; wash the oxtail, boil it in boiling water for 10 minutes, and then wash it again. Put them together with ginger into a clay pot, add about 12 bowls of water, bring to a boil, then simmer for about 3 hours.

Note: The dust on Eucommia ulmoides should be removed first, placed in a pot, splashed with a little light salt water, and stir-fried until dry. Because Chinese medicine says that "salt enters the kidneys", it means that salty medicines or foods are most likely to act on the kidneys. Moderate saltiness can nourish the kidneys, but too much saltiness can damage the kidneys.
