The word "kidney qi" actually belongs to the concept of traditional Chinese medicine. Usually, kidney qi refers to the qi transformed by human kidney essence, which mainly reflects renal function. The kidney is an important organ for filtering toxins and garbage. The irregular eating and rest habits of modern people will aggravate the problem of insufficient kidney qi and weaken or damage renal function. If there are six major symptoms in the body, you need to be alert to the problem of insufficient kidney qi!

First, gluttony for heavy food.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the five internal organs correspond to five flavors, namely, heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney correspond to five flavors: sour, bitter, sweet and salty. Suppose you suddenly like to eat salty or spicy food in your life, you need to be alert to the problem of kidney qi deficiency, because when kidney qi is insufficient, the human body is more eager for salty and other foods, hoping to help kidney qi transport through foods with strong taste.

Second, the limbs are cold or night sweats are serious.

Normal people's hands and feet are pale pink, because blood circulation is smooth and there is a certain temperature. However, kidney deficiency can cause local whitening and abnormal cold hands and feet. Kidney is the key and source of yang in the body, so kidney deficiency will affect the growth of yang and aggravate discomfort such as chills. In addition, the deficiency of kidney qi can't restrain sweating, which damages Yin Qi and makes people sleepless at night, love sweating.

Third, the hair is yellow or gray.

Whether the kidneys are healthy or not is most likely to be manifested in the hair. Usually, the deficiency of kidney qi will lead to the deficiency of kidney essence, which will lead to yellow, dry and dull hair, and even the hair will turn white at a young age.

Fourth, frequent nocturia.

If you get up at night and urinate too much, it indicates that there is a problem of insufficient kidney-qi, because insufficient kidney-yang will affect the metabolism and transportation of water and liquid, and the bladder can not store urine, resulting in frequent nocturia symptoms.

Five, dizziness and tinnitus

Chinese medicine believes that the kidney can store essence, produce marrow and enlighten the ear. Therefore, when kidney deficiency occurs in the body, it will cause tinnitus, dizziness or nausea. If it is not treated in time, it will hinder hearing or lead to deafness.

Six, physical decline

Deficiency of kidney qi will affect the blood circulation system of human body, make blood supply to limbs insufficient, make people weak or have decreased resistance, easily catch a cold and have a fever, and the waist will be sore and uncomfortable after work.

As long as both men and women have the problem of insufficient kidney qi, they should be treated in time to tonify the kidney. Acupoint massage in traditional Chinese medicine is simple and easy, and can replenish kidney qi in time. It is suggested that we can learn point massage therapy of traditional Chinese medicine to relieve the discomfort of kidney-qi deficiency.
