Men are most afraid of discussing 肾阳虚 (Kidney Yang Deficiency), but actually, women are also concerned about it. Because when 肾阳虚 occurs, people feel weak, lack energy, lose their vitality, develop dark spots on the skin, and have dark circles under their eyes… and so on.
This symptom is unpleasant for everyone, but it is inevitable…
What to do?
Then, one must prepare in advance, focusing on health maintenance to keep 肾阳 robust!
Because when 肾阳不足 (Kidney Yang Deficiency) is severe, symptoms such as fear of cold, cold extremities, lower back and knee pain, and sensitivity to wind will appear. This is due to 心阳虚 (Heart Yang Deficiency), 脾阳虚 (Spleen Yang Deficiency), and 肾精亏虚 (Kidney Essence Deficiency), which depletes 肾阳.
Some people experience this due to excessive sexual activity, staying up late, which leads to the depletion of 肾阳.
When there is excessive consumption, the fire of the 命门 (Mingmen) weakens, and Yang Qi becomes deficient, leading to symptoms like early morning diarrhea. Before dawn, one may experience abdominal pain and the urge to have diarrhea. Due to insufficient 肾阳, food cannot be digested, resulting in undigested food being expelled.
After 肾阳不足, it can also affect 心阳 (Heart Yang), leading to a lack of warmth and vitality in the spirit. This kind of spirit is listless. The complexion will not be radiant, lacking the youthful aura and the glow that should emanate from the face.
When Yang Qi is weak, the circulation of Qi and blood becomes sluggish, making it difficult to nourish the face. When Qi and blood cannot nourish the face, the complexion will appear pale. Healthy women with sufficient Yang Qi have fair skin, rosy lips, and a radiant complexion. These beautiful descriptors belong to healthy women.
Even makeup cannot cover the pallor or dark circles beneath the powder.
If 肾阳 is severely deficient, the turbid Yin Qi will spread on the skin, causing the complexion to appear dark and lack luster.
Now, many stills from films can easily reveal this. By examining a makeup photo closely, one can see the dark circles that the powder cannot conceal, often found in the middle of the forehead (indicating cold in the liver and gallbladder), around the lips (indicating cold in the intestines), and dark circles (indicating 肾阳虚).
Due to the weakening of the 命门火 (Mingmen Fire), Yang Qi cannot reach the extremities and the surface of the skin, which is necessary to warm the skin. Therefore, those with 肾阳虚 will feel cold in their limbs, with fingers and toes often feeling extremely cold.
Since the kidneys govern reproduction, the weakening of 命门火 leads to a lack of warmth in the reproductive organs. Consequently, men may experience impotence and low sperm count, while women may suffer from cold in the uterus, difficulty conceiving, and painful menstruation.
肾阳虚 is like a boiler that lacks firepower; the body’s fluids cannot vaporize effectively, leading to stagnation of fluids. This results in swelling and abdominal distension.
It can also lead to a thick waist, relaxed 带脉 (Dai Mai), and gradually increasing abdominal fat, resulting in a barrel-shaped waist. The thick waist and abdominal fat in middle age may sometimes be a consequence of 肾阳虚.
The consequences of 肾阳不足 are numerous, affecting health, appearance, and the quality of life.
In summary, the causes are mainly: inherent Yang deficiency, aging and kidney depletion, chronic illness harming the kidneys, and excessive sexual activity.
肾阳 governs the Yang Qi of the entire body; when it weakens, various symptoms of Yang deficiency emerge. To avoid such consequences, one must focus on prevention and gradually tonify Yang and replenish deficiency.
From a preventive perspective, several aspects need to be corrected.
Abstain from Excessive Masturbation
With modern information technology, computers and smartphones disseminate all kinds of content. Young children may come into contact with things that are inappropriate for their age. As a result, excessive masturbation has become common, with countless help-seeking posts on “Baidu Zhidao”.
Most of these cases stem from one reason: being too young and embarking on this path, leading to significant 肾阳虚 at a young age.
So, it’s time to change.
Our ancestors left us some advice, telling us: excessive masturbation may lead to continuous depletion of essence.
In this case, it is recommended to recite the 《地藏本愿经 (Kṣitigarbha Sūtra)》 200 times.
By the way, just to clarify: 《地藏本愿经》, 《地藏本行经》, and 《地藏本誓力经》 refer to the same scripture.
These can be found for free in temples and on X treasure, though you need to pay for shipping on X treasure.

How to maintain health on a purely vegetarian diet?
Poor Diet
Over the years, I have encountered many patients with weak constitutions, and a common trait among them is that they believe adults can survive on just some vegetables and rice porridge for a day and maintain health.
Humans are not plants, right? It’s impossible to thrive on just water and photosynthesis, right?
Moreover, even plants cannot grow well under such conditions!
Plants also need proper fertilization to grow strong and healthy; how much more so for a body made of flesh and blood?
To ensure sufficient and vigorous 肾阳 and abundant 肾精 (Kidney Essence), it is recommended to consume more sea cucumbers, abalone, shrimp, ginseng, deer antler, clams, loach, leeks, and nuts in daily meals.
Eating too simply makes it difficult to achieve health.
Of course, some may ask me: why are the monks in temples healthy despite being vegetarian?
They are practitioners, okay? If one can achieve that level, then of course, they can maintain health.
