Nowadays, those who suffer from low back pain, fatigue, and drowsiness will be labeled as kidney deficiency. Many people feel that their body is weak and their kidneys are weak. In order to help them overcome the dilemma of "deficiency" as soon as possible, many people are taking supplements. Can this be enough to tonify the kidneys? Can it make the body strong? Actually, it's not the case. Experts remind that many people may not necessarily have kidney deficiency, and even kidney deficiency may not necessarily be compensated.
One of the misconceptions: "tonifying the kidney" is to enhance yang
Middle aged men mistakenly believe that kidney tonics are "aphrodisiacs" and believe that they are effective once taken. The "deficiency" is mainly the result of low function and nutritional deficiency. Kidney deficiency can manifest as kidney related dysfunction. For example, slow brain response, short stature, low sexual function, susceptibility to fractures, excessive nocturia, inability to hold urine, and weak waist and legs. These are also common conditions among middle-aged people, but they cannot be generalized. Any occurrence of these symptoms is definitely caused by kidney deficiency.
So, many middle-aged people seek help from doctors on how to solve sexual dysfunction and strongly suggest that they need to tonify the kidneys, asking if they should take aphrodisiacs such as hippocampus, tiger whip, deer whip, and epimedium. In fact, when we carefully explore their condition, it is mostly caused by psychological stress, overwork, etc. Therefore, when encountering such a seeker, the responsible doctor will not prescribe kidney tonifying drugs indiscriminately.
Myth 2: Eating Liu Wei Di Huang Wan recklessly
Mr. Liu's sexual function is not very good. He heard from a friend that taking Liu Wei Di Huang Wan had a good effect, so he followed the prescription and took the medicine. As a result, his condition worsened after taking it. Why is this situation happening? Because the person who recommended the medicine to him is a Yin deficiency syndrome, and he is a Yang deficiency syndrome. Although the symptoms of poor sexual function are the same, the pathogenesis is different, and at the same time, the spleen and stomach are usually not good, and he is afraid of cold. So after taking the Six Flavors Dihuang Pills to nourish yin, bowel movements become even worse, which is typical of taking the wrong medicine.
Experts say that not everyone is suitable for taking this medicine. But for people with kidney yin deficiency, taking Liuwei Dihuang Pills may have better effects. People with red, less or no tongue coating, and thin veins may have kidney yin deficiency. It is important to note that people with white and thick tongue coating may have phlegm and dampness in their body. It is necessary to first clear the phlegm and dampness before dialectical examination to see if Liu Wei Di Huang Wan can be used.
He suggested that if you really don't understand, it's best to go to a reputable hospital to find a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and ask him to check his pulse to see if it's suitable to take Liu Wei Di Huang Wan.
Eating a large amount of nutrients may not necessarily be effective. It is necessary to supplement according to one's physical condition, otherwise it will backfire and burden other organs of the body. Don't blindly supplement, so as not to put in useless things that need to be carefully sorted out.
