Kidney Yang Deficiency: Mainly characterized by sensitivity to cold.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that "Yang deficiency leads to external cold," thus Kidney Yang deficiency often manifests as cold sensitivity, typically presenting with pale complexion, cold hands and feet, lack of energy, easy fatigue, insomnia, forgetfulness, soreness in the lower back and knees, and frequent urination at night.
Solution: Tonify Yang and benefit the Kidneys. It is recommended to consume more walnuts, and to use specific herbs that tonify Yang in soups, along with some Goji berries (Gou Qi Zi), Chinese wolfberry (Shan Yu Rou), longan flesh (Gui Yuan Rou), and jujube (Da Zao). Regularly drinking ginger-infused water and consuming Yang-boosting foods like leeks and cilantro can be both delicious and nourishing.
Kidney Yin deficiency can easily lead to symptoms of five hearts heat (i.e., palms, soles, and chest feeling hot), dry mouth and throat, yellow urine, dry stools, poor mental state, irritability, insomnia with vivid dreams, and sweating during sleep.
Solution: Nourish Yin and tonify the Kidneys. Foods that nourish the body’s Yin fluids, such as black fungus (Hei Mu Er), lotus seeds (Lian Zi), longan flesh (Gui Yuan Rou), mulberries (Sang Shen Zi), and Goji berries (Gou Qi Zi) should be consumed more frequently. Drinking soy milk can also be beneficial. Timely regulation of the body’s Yin and Yang, Qi and blood, and organ functions is crucial for preventing age-related diseases such as hearing loss and osteoporosis.
The body acts as an alarm system; how does it inform us of Kidney deficiency issues?
“Yang deficiency leads to external cold,” as mentioned above, when the body’s Yang energy is weak, Qi and blood are insufficient, and the defensive Yang is not solid, it cannot warm the muscles to resist external cold pathogens, making one particularly sensitive to cold. Cold hands and feet are often related to the Kidneys.
The salty flavor is closely related to the Kidneys; TCM theory states that “salty flavor enters the Kidneys.” An unexplained salty taste often indicates Kidney deficiency. Salty taste can also be associated with Spleen deficiency and excess dampness, or Kidney deficiency with excess heat. In addition to the salty taste, symptoms often include dry throat, dizziness, tinnitus, soreness in the lower back and knees, five hearts heat, insomnia with vivid dreams, etc.
According to TCM, “the Kidneys govern fear,” and fear is a manifestation of Kidney deficiency. If a person experiences unexplained feelings of fear, it often indicates a Kidney deficiency issue.
The Kidneys govern the bones, and bones rely on Kidney essence for nourishment. Teeth are considered extensions of the bones; thus, the health of the bones directly affects the health of the teeth. Therefore, if the Kidneys are deficient, the bones will not be nourished, leading to loose teeth.
Generally, saliva in the mouth should be moderate, neither too dry nor too excessive. If there is Kidney Yin deficiency, the secretion of Yin fluids in the Kidneys is insufficient, leading to reduced saliva; if there is Kidney Yang deficiency, the secretion of Yin fluids is excessive, resulting in increased saliva. Therefore, whether there is too much or too little saliva, it may indicate a potential Kidney deficiency issue. Doctors tell us: Many people believe and adhere to taking antihypertensive drugs, antidiabetic medications, and insulin for a lifetime.
Health experts tell us: Detoxifying for a lifetime, nurturing the body for a lifetime, and exercising continuously are hard for many to believe and adhere to.
This is why healthy individuals are rare! The number of sub-healthy and diseased individuals is increasing!
