This kidney is not another kidney. Because the "kidney" referred to by Chinese medicine and western medicine is different, the kidney of western medicine only refers to a fixed and specific organ, while the scope of Chinese medicine is much broader, except for the specific kidney, it also refers to the reproductive system.
What is the key point of women's health care in spring?
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that kidney governs storing essence and turning water into qi. If kidney yang declines, symptoms such as dizziness, soreness of waist and knees and frequent urination at night will appear. Therefore, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the strength of human endowment and healthy development are related to the kidney. Based on kidney, Su Wen, an ancient medical book, summarizes the basic whole life course of women aged 7-49 and men aged 8-64 as the process of kidney qi filling-kidney qi filling-kidney qi flourishing-kidney qi failing, which shows the importance of kidney. Therefore, the "kidney" of traditional Chinese medicine not only refers to the essence of reproduction, but also the source of vitality. On this basis, once the function of kidney governing essence is abnormal, tooth loss, impotence and premature ejaculation will occur, and the water-liquid balance of human body will also be disordered, such as edema. What's more, organ diseases related to kidney are also related to "kidney", such as lumbar spondylosis, tinnitus, constipation, dysuria, lumbar muscle strain and other diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine is effective in treating kidney based on syndrome differentiation. In this sense, it has gone far beyond the anatomical concept of kidney that we know.
