The second phase of Project Stellar
In recent years, with the acceleration of the pace of life and the intensification of environmental pollution, the incidence of kidney diseases has gradually increased, especially the problem caused by renal essence deficiency is more prominent. Kidney essence is an important concept in traditional Chinese medicine theory, which is closely related to the human body's vital activities, reproductive ability and immunity. The depletion of kidney essence can lead to many problems in the body, and both men and women need to pay enough attention.
First of all, we need to understand the meaning of kidney essence. Kidney essence is the body fluid produced by the combination of innate essence and acquired qi, which is the fundamental material basis of human life activities. Kidney essence is mainly stored in the kidneys, and is distributed in various tissues and organs of the body through the operation of the kidney meridian. The functions of kidney essence include reproduction, growth and development, immune regulation, etc., and it is an important substance for maintaining the normal physiological functions of the human body.
So, how can you tell if the kidney essence is depleted?According to the theory and clinical experience of traditional Chinese medicine, if the following 5 symptoms appear, it may prove that the kidney essence is depleted.
The first symptom is soreness in the waist and knees. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is mainly stored in the waist and kidneys, and if the kidney essence is depleted, it will lead to a feeling of soreness and weakness in the waist and knees. This is mainly due to the lack of kidney essence to maintain the muscles and bones of the waist and knees, and it will also affect the stability of the spine, which in turn leads to problems such as low back pain.
The second symptom is decreased sexual function. After middle age, if there is a decline in sexual function, impotence, ** and other problems, it is often related to kidney essence deficiency. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that kidney essence dominates reproductive function, and the production and excretion of ** are closely related to kidney essence, so kidney essence deficiency will lead to a decline in sexual function.
The third symptom is frequent urination at night. Frequent nocturia refers to frequent urination at night. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidneys are mainly metabolized and excreted at night, and if the kidney essence is depleted, it will lead to a decrease in kidney function at night, resulting in frequent nocturia.
The fourth symptom is a weakened immune system. Immunity is an important guarantee for the human body to resist diseases, and kidney essence plays an important role in immune function. The depletion of kidney essence will lead to a decrease in immunity, and it is easy to have problems such as colds, fatigue, and infections.
The fifth symptom is a dull complexion. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is mainly stored in the human body, and the white complexion is related to the abundance of kidney essence. If the kidney essence is depleted, it will lead to a dull complexion, which is generally manifested as dull or even yellowish.
Faced with the problem of kidney essence depletion, there are many ancient and modern Chinese medicine prescriptions that can be applied to achieve the effect of regulating kidney essence. Among them, the more famous ones are "Liuwei Dihuang Pill" and "Jinkui Kidney Qi Pill". Liuwei Dihuang Pill was handed down by Zhang Jingyue in the Ming Dynasty, and was mainly made of medicinal materials such as rehman, yam, dogwood, danpi, oxknee, and jujube. This formula can nourish the kidneys, nourish the lungs and nourish the yin, and nourish the qi and rejuvenate the body. Jinkui Kidney Qi Pill was created by Zhang Zhongjing in the Qing Dynasty, and is mainly made of ginseng, yam, hyssop, wolfberry, cistanche and other medicinal materials. This recipe warms the kidneys and nourishes the essence, aphrodisiac and replenishes qi, and strengthens the muscles and bones.
In daily life, we can maintain our kidney essence by arranging our work and rest time reasonably, maintaining a good Xi habits, and exercising moderately. In addition, dietary conditioning is also very important, you can eat some foods that have the effect of tonifying the kidney, such as black beans, black sesame seeds, walnuts, turtle meat, etc. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid bad Xi such as overeating, staying up late and overwork, so as not to aggravate the consumption of kidney essence.
In short, renal deficiency is a problem that deserves attention, and both men and women need attention. Through the application of traditional Chinese medicine theories and ancient and modern prescriptions, the rational regulation and replenishment of kidney essence can improve the body's immunity, enhance sexual function, alleviate symptoms such as soreness in the waist and knees, and improve the overall health level. At the same time, it also plays a very important role in the maintenance of diet and good Xi lifestyle habits in daily life.
