1, symptoms and remedies of female kidney deficiency
Symptom 1: Early menopause.
This is the biggest concern of all women. The so-called menopause, without further explanation, is a female physiological transition that even God can't change. Generally, women go through menopause at the age of 50, while women with "kidney deficiency" show menopausal symptoms such as amenorrhea, low desire, irritability, anxiety and paranoia early.
Symptom analysis: Chinese medicine believes that the essence of deficiency is aging. People with "kidney deficiency" who have injured their kidneys for a long time are aging faster. Modern epidemiological investigation also found that kidney deficiency is common in the elderly. Having said that, I understand: kidney is the innate foundation, and the physiological age of people with kidney deficiency increases rapidly, and menopausal symptoms appear early.
Remedy: Rest is very important, and of course you should exercise more. I'm not asking you to do anaerobic exercise that consumes huge energy, nor is it asking you to do aerobic exercises that test endurance, but a gentle and traditional way of exercise with ease and peace-Tai Ji Chuan. This exercise centers on the waist, because the kidney is located at the waist, so it is very suitable for people with kidney deficiency to exercise. I believe there will be your health and beauty behind this long-lost slow-paced trick.
Symptom 2: Eyelid edema, aggravated dark circles and pale face.
Many women look in the mirror after getting up in the morning, and they will find a completely strange self: eyelid edema (sometimes affecting the lower limbs, I wonder if you have noticed it), ugly dark circles, and pale face. Don't simply think that it is because there is no makeup, so it looks unaccustomed! Remind you now that the reason may still lie in kidney deficiency.
Symptom analysis: Kidney governs water, and kidney deficiency leads to unfavorable metabolism of water and liquid, leading to edema, and eyelid is the most easily found part. As for dark circles and pale complexion, kidney deficiency leads to blood circulation problems.
Remedial measures: drink less water before going to bed, and do kidney exercises: feet are parallel, feet are shoulder-width apart, eyes are straight, arms are naturally drooping, palms are attached to pants seams, fingers are naturally opened, heels are lifted, and you don't fall to the ground after 9 consecutive breaths.
Symptom 3: Fear of cold.
Does the right temperature in the office always make you tremble, which makes it difficult for you and your colleagues to reach an agreement on the temperature of air conditioning? And whether you always wear more clothes than others, and whether you have diarrhea when you catch cold. Chinese medicine believes that these are caused by kidney-yang deficiency.
Symptom analysis: As recorded in "Ling Shu Bai Bing Shi Sheng pian", deficiency of kidney yang leads to cold. Clinical studies have found that people with kidney deficiency have hyperactivity of parasympathetic nerve, which leads to slow heartbeat, decreased blood pressure and lower basal body temperature.
Remedial measures: You can pay attention to the choice of mutton, dog meat, beef, leek, pepper, onion, ginger and longan in your daily diet, which are the favorite foods of kidney with yang deficiency.
Symptom 4: insomnia, dryness and heat all over, and difficulty in concentration.
Women with kidney-yin deficiency are easily agitated, unable to concentrate, and often suffer from insomnia and dreaming. In addition, I often feel weak in my waist and knees. (kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency, one cold and one hot, no matter which one, are enough to make people have a big headache.
Symptom analysis: Deficiency of kidney yin leads to internal disturbance of deficiency fire, which makes people fidgety; At night, the inability of yin qi to be absorbed leads to insomnia and dreaminess. In addition, yin deficiency and essence deficiency lead to bone dystrophy, so people with kidney yin deficiency often feel weak waist and knees.
Remedy: Great work pressure, nervous mood, excessive sexual intercourse, or eating a lot of warm and dry food may lead to kidney yin deficiency, so we must be temperate in our daily life. In addition, you can eat more duck, turtle, lotus root, lotus seed, lily, medlar, fungus, grapes, mulberry and other foods in your diet. In this way, you don't have to worry about staying up at night and delaying your work because you can't concentrate.
Symptom 5: Infertility and difficult pregnancy
Because of the uncooperative kidney, it is very likely to affect your family line and cause infertility!
Symptom analysis: Chinese medicine believes that "kidney stores essence", which controls reproductive development, and the female reproductive system gradually develops and matures under the care of essence. If kidney essence is insufficient, it will affect reproductive ability. If you don't take good care of it, your plan to have children may really be a big question mark.
Remedy: You can take Liuwei Dihuang Pill properly under the guidance of professionals. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the foot center is the place where the turbid qi of the human body drops. Regular rubbing can benefit essence, tonify kidney and prevent premature aging. In addition, it also has certain curative effect on insomnia and backache caused by kidney deficiency.
Symptom 6: puffiness
This is a question that almost every woman has to ask herself repeatedly in the face of a mirror, but few people will associate body fat with kidney deficiency and ask themselves: is it empty? But the fact is that one of the chief culprits of your obesity is kidney deficiency.
Symptom analysis: Chinese medicine believes that the basic cause of obesity is phlegm, dampness and stagnation, and further, it is due to qi deficiency. Therefore, women with kidney-qi deficiency often tend to gain weight. Modern medicine explains the relationship between obesity and kidney deficiency: the endocrine function of people with kidney deficiency is weakened, the secretion of adrenocortical hormone (promoting fat decomposition and inhibiting synthesis) is reduced, and the level of basal metabolic rate is reduced, resulting in reduced calorie consumption in the body and leading to obesity.
Remedial measures: After rubbing the two palms, put them on the waist until they feel hot, several times in the morning and evening, which can replenish kidney qi. In addition, it is necessary to eat more duck meat, goose meat and rabbit meat. In addition, it is also necessary to supplement qi with carp, japonica rice, glutinous rice, millet and jujube.
Symptom 7: Elevated blood pressure
It is hard to think that hypertension is also related to kidney deficiency, but it is true. Hypertension caused by kidney deficiency is called renal hypertension, which accounts for about 5% ~10% of adult hypertension and is the main component of secondary hypertension.
Symptom analysis: Chinese medicine believes that kidney yin deficiency causes renal hypertension. In the explanation of western medicine, the reason is that kidney deficiency leads to the decrease of blood pressure-lowering substances (prostaglandin, bradykinin).
Remedial measures: Chinese medicine generally adopts the methods of nourishing yin and suppressing yang, clearing heat and eliminating dampness to treat renal hypertension. For example, we can drink fresh lotus root slices and rock sugar decoction instead of tea every day.
