Hello everyone, I am Dr. Ke of TCM. In my many years of medical experience, I often encounter patients who are physically weak and mentally exhausted due to lack of kidney essence. Most of them are due to irregular Xi lifestyles, unhealthy diets, overwork and other reasons, resulting in kidney essence loss, which leads to various diseases. Based on TCM classics and clinical experience, I have provided them with some simple and effective ways to replenish their kidneys and improve their physical condition.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is the innate foundation of the human body and is responsible for important functions such as reproduction, growth, and development. Kidney essence is the essence of the kidney, which is the basic substance that maintains life activities. If the kidney essence is sufficient, the body is healthy and energetic;If the kidney essence is insufficient, the body is weak and the spirit is exhausted. Therefore, tonifying the kidney is one of the important principles of TCM health preservation.
So, how to tonify the kidneys?In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, there are many ways to help us tonify the kidneys, such as acupuncture, massage, cupping, traditional Chinese medicine, etc. Among them, Chinese medicine is a relatively common method. Traditional Chinese medicine can regulate the flow of qi, blood and water in the human body, so as to achieve the purpose of tonifying the kidney. When choosing Chinese medicine, we should choose the right Chinese medicine according to our specific situation.
Here, I would like to introduce you to an ancient recipe for two-flavor medicine, which can help us fill up the kidney essence. This ancient recipe is yam and starch. Yam and yam are both commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine to tonify the kidney, and both of them have the effect of tonifying the kidney and strengthening the essence, invigorating qi and strengthening the spleen.
Yam, also known as Huaishan, potatoes, etc., is a perennial herbaceous plant. Its rhizome can be used as medicine, the taste is sweet and flat, and it returns to the lungs, spleen, and kidney meridians. Yam has the effect of tonifying the kidney and strengthening the essence, invigorating qi and strengthening the spleen, nourishing yin and moisturizing dryness. It can be used for symptoms such as kidney deficiency and spermatozoa, frequent urination and urgency, soreness in the waist and knees, spleen deficiency and diarrhea, lung deficiency and cough.
Gourd, also known as chicken head rice, goose head rice, etc., is an aquatic plant. Its seeds can be used in medicine, the taste is sweet and astringent, and it returns to the spleen and kidney meridians. It has the effect of tonifying the kidney and strengthening the essence, strengthening the spleen and stopping diarrhea, dehumidifying and stopping the band. It can be used for symptoms such as kidney deficiency and spermatozoa, spleen deficiency and diarrhea, and excessive subbelt.
The combination of yam and gourd can not only replenish the kidney and strengthen the essence, but also invigorate the qi and strengthen the spleen, so as to achieve the effect of treating both the symptoms and the root causes. The dosage of yam and yam seeds, generally 30 grams of yam and 20 grams of yam, can be decocted with water, or other ingredients can be added to make porridge or soup. The time to take yam and yam is generally once in the morning and once in the evening, and the effect is better on an empty stomach.
There are also some things we should pay attention to when taking yams and yams. First of all, yam and yam have the effect of astringency and astringency, so they should not be taken for patients with constipation, damp heat betting, external sensation and other evil. Secondly, the properties of yam and gourd are relatively peaceful, so it should not be taken in excess, so as not to cause adverse reactions such as bloating and indigestion. Finally, the effects of yam and yam seeds vary from person to person, so it is best to consult a doctor before taking them to avoid adverse reactions.
In addition to yam and gam, there are many other Chinese medicines that nourish the kidney, such as deer antler velvet, epimedium weed, cistanche, wolfberry, dodder seed, etc. These Chinese medicines all have different efficacy and adaptation ranges, and we can choose the right Chinese medicine according to our specific situation. Of course, the use of traditional Chinese medicine also needs to follow the theories and methods of traditional Chinese medicine, and cannot be used arbitrarily.
In short, tonifying the kidney is one of the important principles of TCM health preservation. We can use traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, massage, cupping and other methods to help us nourish our kidneys. When choosing Chinese medicine, we should choose the right Chinese medicine according to our specific situation. Yam and gourd are a simple and effective way to replenish the kidneys, which can help us fill up the kidneys. Of course, we should also pay attention to maintaining a good Xi of life, eating reasonably, exercising properly, and getting enough sleep, so as to better maintain the health of the body.
