Kidney yang deficiency people, in the fear at the same time also accompanied by cold, cold limbs, fatigue and other symptoms, if you look at the tongue, you will also find that the tongue texture is light and tender, tongue coating white.
3. Fear of cold - fear of cold, should consider the possibility of kidney deficiency
The Chinese medicine believes that the human body yangqi sufficient, can resist the cold, to maintain a normal body temperature, will not produce fear of cold; if the human body yangqi weak, can not warm the body, will produce a cold feeling.
Human yang qi throughout the body, everywhere, each viscera have yang qi, in essence, the kidney is the source of yang qi. The kidney is the root of the innate nature, harboring true yin and true yang, also known as kidney yin and kidney yang, kidney yin is the root of the body's yin fluid, and kidney yang is the root of the body's yang. The treatment of all types of cold fear involves warming and tonifying kidney yang.

5. Sneezing - sneezing frequently, after a long time, should consider the possibility of kidney deficiency
Sneezing is a common physiological phenomenon, many people have had the experience of sneezing. Why do people sneeze? Chinese medicine believes that there are two cases.
One situation is acute sneezing, which occurs when the climate suddenly becomes cool, when the body is cold, and when colds are prevalent, and most of them appear at the same time with the symptoms of colds, and when the colds get better, the sneezing stops, and the sneezing in this case belongs to the real evidence.
Another condition is sneezing caused by kidney qi deficiency. Wei qi in the body is the main force to defend against external evils, which is rooted in the body's lower jiao kidney, nourished in the middle jiao spleen, and propagated in the upper jiao lung. If the body's kidney qi is weak, the source of guardian qi will be insufficient, and less guardian qi will reach the lungs, the channel for the propagation of guardian qi, and the lungs will not be able to propagate the guardian qi properly, and the phenomenon of sneezing will occur.
Sneezing caused by kidney qi deficiency is often a frequent and prolonged sneezing, accompanied by fatigue and weakness, lumbar and knee pain or pain, colorless face, fear of cold, hands and feet not warm and other symptoms, with allergic rhinitis patients as the majority. For sneezing caused by kidney qi deficiency, it is difficult to cure it just by dispelling the evil, and the kidney should be tonified to strengthen the foundation, so that the kidney qi is strong, the Wei qi is sufficient, and the body's ability to resist external evil is strengthened.
There are two types of kidney deficiency associated with sneezing: kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency.

From the perspective of the five elements, saliva belongs to the kidney.
Why is it that too much or too little saliva may have the problem of kidney deficiency? The reason is very simple: under normal circumstances, the mouth of the saliva moderate, so that people neither feel the mouth dry, nor do not feel too much saliva, if the kidney yin deficiency, the yin in the kidney is not enough secretion, saliva will become less; if the kidney yang deficiency, the yin in the kidney is too much secretion, saliva will become more. So, either too much saliva or too little saliva indicates a possible kidney deficiency.
If you have too much saliva, accompanied by dizziness, palpitations, shortness of breath, darkening of the face and other symptoms, if you look at the tongue, you can also find that the tongue texture is light and tender, tongue moss is white and slippery, basically you can conclude that this is too much saliva caused by kidney yang weakness, the treatment of which is appropriate to warm the kidney and transform the qi.

The Chinese medicine will be red, green, yellow, white, black five colors with the five elements, black is water; will be the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys and the five organs with the five elements, the kidneys are water. Five organs of the kidney and the five colors of the black belong to the same water, so the black and the kidney to class from the black belongs to the kidneys, black things are mostly related to the kidneys.
