Regular consumption of kidney-tonifying drugs can also cause certain harm to the body.

Although many kidney-tonifying drugs are traditional Chinese medicines with relatively small side effects, these drugs also need to be metabolized by the liver and kidneys. If the patient takes it for a long time, it may increase the burden on the liver and kidneys. Especially patients with liver or kidney disease are not suitable for long-term use. Generally, they can be used according to the course of treatment. Some Western medicine aphrodisiacs cannot be used for a long time. Not only are they easy to form dependence, but they can also lead to permanent impotence, with very serious consequences.

In addition to kidney-tonifying drugs, patients can also take dietary adjustments. Patients with yang deficiency can eat more kidney-tonifying foods such as chestnuts, white fungus, black fungus, black beans, beef and mutton, which can assist in the treatment of kidney deficiency.
