Women with kidney deficiency can eat more blood-enriching foods, such as lotus seeds, medlar and red dates. For patients with cold hands and feet, it may be kidney-yang deficiency and need to eat warm food, such as mutton and leeks. Usually, it is good for the kidneys to take appropriate physical exercise to promote blood circulation.
Kidney deficiency is generally divided into kidney yin deficiency, kidney yang deficiency and kidney qi deficiency. Different types of kidney deficiency have different symptoms, and patients can take corresponding prescriptions under the guidance of doctors. For women with kidney-yang deficiency, drugs such as Jingui Shenqi Pill and Yougui Pill can be used to warm and tonify kidney-yang. Patients with kidney-qi deficiency should tonify kidney-qi, and Shenqi pill can be used to add flavor. To nourish kidney yin deficiency, Liuwei Dihuang Pill combined with Erzhi Pill or Zuogui Pill can be used. Kidney-yang deficiency diet should warm kidney-yang and spleen-yang, and eat more mutton, leeks, oysters, walnuts and other foods. Kidney-yin deficiency diet should be light, eat less fatty, thick and dry food, and eat more nourishing yin and clearing heat such as medlar, yam and lily.
