Kidney deficiency can be divided into kidney yang deficiency and kidney yin deficiency.

Kidney-yang deficiency is characterized by decreased libido, impotence and premature ejaculation, fatigue and fear of cold. Kidney yin deficiency is manifested as fear of heat, sweating easily, sweating on hands and feet, dry eyes and thirst. Kidney-yang deficiency can be treated by oral administration of Nanbao Capsule, Zhuangyao Shen Jian Pill and Gui You Pill. Kidney yin deficiency can be taken orally by Zuogui Pill and Liuwei Dihuang Pill.

In addition to drugs, for elderly friends, the best ways to tonify the kidney mainly include the following:

1, drink plenty of water

Many middle-aged and old friends don't like drinking water, but in fact water is the source of life. If the body is short of water, it will cause toxins not to increase the burden on the kidneys with urine excretion, but will lead to various discomforts. Therefore, drinking more water is one of the main ways to tonify kidney.

2, pay attention to keep warm

Many friends think that fear of cold is the main cause of kidney deficiency. But in fact, in the process of tonifying the kidney, the warmth of the foot is very important, and the kidney meridian originates from the sole of the foot. Therefore, if the soles of the feet are cold, it is very easy to cause symptoms of kidney deficiency. It is suggested that the elderly must pay attention to learning to keep warm.

3. Keep a good sleep

Keeping a good sleep is the key to promoting health and also plays a very important role in maintaining kidney meridian. There are many patients with renal failure around us, all of whom stay up too much and are very tired. Therefore, it is recommended to pay attention to going to bed early and nourishing the kidney.

4. Massage acupoints to tonify the kidney

For the elderly, the kidney is aging, and with the increase of age, the kidney is qi-deficient. Chinese medicine believes that massaging these three acupoints can tonify the kidney, replenish qi, consolidate essence and protect the kidney.

(1), Yongquan point

Huangdi Neijing said: "The kidney comes from the spring, and the spring is full of heart." Yongquan point is located at the intersection of the first third of the plantar midline, that is, when the foot flexes its toes, it is sunken in front of the plantar. Regular massage of Yongquan point can stimulate the qi of the meridians of the kidney meridian, dredge the meridians of the kidney meridian, reconcile the qi and blood of the kidney, adjust and improve the function and functional activities of the kidney, and make people have sufficient kidney essence, bright ears, full spirit and strong walking. Put the tip of thumb or forefinger at Yongquan point in the foot center and massage back and forth, once a day 100 times.

(2) Taixi point

Taixi point is the original point of the kidney meridian, so the ancients called Taixi point "one of the nine points of Huiyang" and thought it had a very high power to restore Yang and save the adverse events. You don't have to stick to the method when you massage, it takes about 5 minutes each time.

(3) Guanyuan point

Guanyuan is an important acupuncture point for andrology health care, which has the functions of tonifying kidney, strengthening yang, tonifying deficiency and benefiting loss. Finding Guan yuan is also very simple. On the main line of the human body, measure the distance between the four fingers of the navel, which is Guanyuan point. When massaging, first take Guanyuan as the center and rub the left palm or right palm counterclockwise or clockwise for 3~5 minutes. Then, press Guanyuan point with breath for 3 minutes.
