Problem description:
I had kidney disease before, but I was retrograde infected by germs. I often have backache. I want to know how to tonify the kidney. It's best to take tonic. Thank you.
Analysis:
Kidney must be divided into yin and yang.
In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, kidney is not only a tangible organ, but also a general term for kidney and a series of related functional activities. For example, the pathological changes of human spirit, bones, hair and teeth may be closely related to the kidney, and its scope is wider than that of western medicine.
The essence of kidney can be divided into kidney yin and kidney yang, which depend on and restrict each other and maintain the dynamic balance of human body. When this balance is destroyed, there will be pathological changes of kidney yin and kidney yang.
Kidney yin deficiency is more common than yang deficiency in clinic. Therefore, there are some misunderstandings in the concept of tonifying kidney and strengthening yang.
Kidney yang deficiency is characterized by pale or dull complexion, cold waist and knees, cold limbs, mental fatigue and general weakness; Male impotence and premature ejaculation, female infertility, * * * decline; Deformed stool or frequent urination, long and clear urine, nocturia, pale tongue with white fur, diarrhea, etc.
The manifestations of kidney yin deficiency are waist and knee swelling, soreness and pain, dizziness and tinnitus, and loose teeth; Men have nocturnal emission and premature ejaculation, and women have less menstrual flow or amenorrhea; Insomnia, forgetfulness, dry mouth and throat, irritability, sweating when moving, red cheekbones in the afternoon, emaciation, yellow urine, red tongue with little or no coating.
Modern people are prone to organ dysfunction due to high work pressure and little exercise, and kidney deficiency is one of them.
Several points of simply judging renal function
People with good kidney function have good spirits, brisk pace, good sleep and bright ears. On the contrary, people with poor renal function often have symptoms such as nocturia, dizziness, low back pain, weak legs, black eyes and easy hair loss.
In addition, to judge the quality of a person's renal function, we should also pay attention to the daily urine output. Generally, a normal person's daily urine output should be around1000 ~ 2,000 ml (equivalent to 2 ~ 4 mineral water bottles), and more than 2500ml or less than 800 ml may be due to kidney problems.
In order to prevent premature aging, modern people, especially modern white-collar workers, should strengthen physical exercise, nourish in time and improve the symptoms of kidney deficiency and aging. If people are not extremely weak, tonifying the kidney should be based on peace, which varies from place to place at different times. According to different seasons, constitutions and climates, different methods of tonifying kidney need to be carried out under the guidance of doctors.
The key to protecting the kidneys is daily life.
Everyone should pay attention to the maintenance of the water of kidney yin. In addition to proper medication, daily maintenance is more critical.
Sexual life should be moderate, not forced or indulgent.
Diet: When you are weak and tired, eat foods containing iron and protein, such as fungus, jujube and black-bone chicken. People with indigestion drink more yogurt and eat hawthorn; Eat more leeks, sea cucumbers, ginseng, black-bone chicken and domestic pigeons on weekdays to protect the kidneys.
Exercise the waist regularly, which can enhance vital signs and tonify the kidney. You can also do more sports on the soles of your feet. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Yongquan point on the sole of the foot is the place where turbidity drops. Frequent use of Yongquan point can benefit essence, tonify kidney, strengthen body, prevent premature aging, soothe the liver, improve eyesight, clear the throat, soothe the nerves, promote sleep and stimulate appetite.
Adequate sleep is also an important guarantee to restore vitality. No matter how stressful the work is, there will be more troubles at home, so you should rest on time when you should sleep.
