kinetic deficiency is also divided into yin and yang
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the person reaches forty, the yang energy is insufficient", so there is a saying that "forty does not replenish, and fifty does not suffer." As the age increases, it is difficult to produce yang energy. If the yang energy becomes less and less, the disease will increase. So how to replenish yang energy? I heard that Liuwei Dihuang Wan is very nourishing to the kidneys, so can I take it for one course of treatment? I would like to remind everyone that this kind of behavior is absolutely not advisable, it is a disguised harm to yourself.
If you want to nourish the kidney through medication, you must first figure out whether you are kidney yang deficiency or kidney yin deficiency .
1 Kidney Yang deficiency is often manifested by cold: Fear of cold limbs, lethargy, clear and long urine, pale tongue and fat and white coat.
In addition to being afraid of cold, people with kidney yang deficiency also have slow metabolism and weak evaporation ability, so they will urinate more, especially if they have a lot of urine at night, and they don’t want to drink water very much. The Chinese patent medicines Jinkui Shenqi Pills and Wuzi Yanzong Pills are more suitable.
2 Kidney Yin deficiency often shows signs of deficiency and heat: dry mouth and dry throat, hot flashes, red cheekbones, five heart irritation and heat , night sweats, red tongue and less moss.
People with kidney yin deficiency generally don’t be afraid of cold, and even have to be afraid of heat, especially when the hands and soles of the feet always feel hot, and they want to stick to cold things. People with kidney yin deficiency also have problems with dry mouth , dry stools, and upset, and even insomnia due to annoyance. Moreover, people are prone to thinness and thinness. Chinese patent medicine is suitable for taking Liuwei Dihuang Pills.
often eat four treasures
If the symptoms are not particularly serious (for example, in women's kidney deficiency causes infertility , men's kidney deficiency causes inability to lift), it is best not to nourish the kidneys by taking medicine in spring, because taking too much medicine will increase the burden on the liver. It is recommended that everyone gently nourish the yang by absorbing the essence of food.

often do four things
1 Sunbathing
The easiest way to nourish the sun. It is best to sit in the sun and be in the back because there is a meridian on the back that cannot be ignored - the Du meridian. The Du meridian is known as the "Sea of Yang meridians", which governs the yang energy of the body. If you heat your back and feel comfortable, the body's yang energy will be sufficient.
Generally, it is best to choose between 10-11 am or between 16-17 pm. At this time, the sun is more abundant and the light is softer. The sun is the best effect. Middle-aged and elderly people can only 30 minutes of sunbathing. Never bask in the sun through the glass, as it will be difficult to achieve the desired effect.
2 Rub the ears
Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that the kidney is responsible for storing essence and opens up the ears. There are many acupuncture points for treating kidney diseases in the ears. Therefore, regular ear exercises can help strengthen the kidneys and waist, nourish the body and prolong life.
After putting the index fingers of both hands on tragus , use the index finger and thumb to lift the tragus and earlobe, and lift it from the inside to the outside. The technique is from light to heavy. The force of pulling is limited to not feeling pain. Each time, your hands are free, and you can press and rub your ears while watching TV.
3 Foot soaking at night
Foot soaking can not only keep warm, but also promote the circulation of qi and blood throughout the body. By stimulating dozens of acupuncture points on the feet, it can adjust the yin and yang qi and blood of the human body.
foot soaking at 9 pm best to protect your kidneys. The reason why I chose this time to nourish the kidney is because this is the time when the qi and blood of the kidney meridian are relatively weak. When soaking my feet at this time, the body's calories will increase, which is conducive to promoting blood circulation and thereby promoting blood circulation in the body.
4 Walking on tiptoe
When walking on tiptoe, the inner side of the forefoot and the big thumb of the foot play a supporting role, and foot Shaoyin kidney meridian , foot Jueyin liver meridian and foot Taiyin spleen meridian pass here.
This way you can massage the three yin of the foot and warm and nourish the kidney yang through the foot Shaoyin kidney meridian. Walk on tiptoe for about 10 minutes every day, and you can walk and stop in the middle, rest when you are tired, and achieve the purpose of stimulating acupoints.
It is difficult to walk on tiptoe, especially for the elderly, you must proceed step by step. It is best to have helpers around you when practicing at the beginning. If you persist for a long time, you should not overdose each time; it is not recommended for elderly people with severe osteoporosis to walk on tiptoe.

often press the four acupoints
Actually, there are four free kidney-tonifying medicines on your body, but most people ignore it and look for other kidney-tonifying prescriptions. National medical master Tang Zuxuan specially recommends four acupoints for nourishing and protecting kidneys: Shenshu , Mingmen , Guanyuan and Taixi . It is suitable for both men and women. Press and rub each acupoint for 5 minutes a day. If you persist for one month, you will obviously feel that there is a small sun in your body, and you will be full of kidney qi.
1 Shenshu point
position : The position of Shenshu point and Mingmen point is the same, which is 1.5 inches away from the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra in the waist, one on the left and right.
Efficacy: Shenshu point is the main acupoint of the kidney meridian. If you press it frequently, you can strengthen the kidney qi and enhance your kidney function, especially for irregular menstruation and sexual indifference.
2 Guanyuan point
position : On the midline of the human body, measure the distance of the four fingers downward from the navel, which is Guanyuan point.
Efficacy : Guanyuan point is like a valve in the human body, locking the human body's vital energy in the body so that it does not leak. It is where men store sperm and women accumulate blood, and where the Yuanyin and Yuanyang accumulate in the human body.
3 Taixi acupoint
position : The depression between the inner ankle of the foot and the Achilles tendon. Bilateral symmetry.
Efficacy : Taixi point is the original point of the kidney meridian, which is the part where the vital energy of the kidney meridian passes and stops. Therefore, the ancients called Taixi point "one of the nine points of Huiyang", and believed that it has a strong effect of returning to Yang and saving the adverse effects.
4 Mingmen point
position : Mingmen point is located between the spinous processes of the second and third lumbar vertebrae. In layman's terms, it is the position at the middle waist of the back and opposite the navel.
Efficacy : For men, it is a big aphrodisiac, and for women, it is a beauty point. It is indispensable for nourishing the kidneys and strengthening yang, warming the uterus and preparing for pregnancy.
