Recently, many patients have asked me that I often have symptoms such as dizziness, soreness in the waist and knees, constipation, dry mouth and tongue. Some patients also said that they have always had symptoms such as cold pain in the waist and knees, fear of cold, and diarrhea. These patients have checked the information on their own, considering that they are kidney deficiency , and have taken kidney-tonifying drugs by themselves, but the symptoms have not improved, but they have symptoms such as fatigue, poor appetite, indigestion, obvious tongue teeth marks, etc. Why is this?
kidney deficiency patients mainly have this phenomenon because the patient has spleen and kidney deficiency. Taking kidney-tonifying drugs alone is prone to symptoms such as deficiency and not being nourished and the spleen and stomach are getting worse and worse. The kidney-tonifying drugs are too nourishing, which will increase the burden on the spleen and stomach after taking them, thereby aggravating their own condition.
Traditional medicine generally focuses on this situation with strengthening the spleen and removing dampness. When encountering this type of patient, I usually give this prescription, which is mainly composed of ginseng, Astragalus , Atractylodes macrocephala, Roasted licorice , Tangerine peel, Poria , Alisma , Pinellia ternata , Coptis chinensis, Qianghuo , Anti-wind , white peony and other Chinese medicines.
This prescription is mainly to strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, clear heat and dry dampness. Among them, ginseng, astragalus, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, roasted licorice, and tangerine peel are mainly used to strengthen the spleen and stomach, dry dampness and promote qi. The main drugs such as Qianghuo and Fangfeng are mainly used to increase Qingyang, which can effectively relieve the discomfort caused by spleen and kidney deficiency.
