For Yang Deficiency (阳虚), warm and tonifying teas can be consumed to help warm and tonify the kidney Yang, enhancing Yang energy. Symptoms of Yang Deficiency include lower back and knee soreness, fatigue, impotence, premature ejaculation, frequent nighttime urination, and sensitivity to cold. Regular consumption of black tea (红茶) can warm the stomach and dispel cold, providing significant improvement for those with abdominal coldness and pale complexion. Honey water (蜂蜜水) can also be beneficial, as it replenishes the body’s vital energy and improves conditions like nocturnal emissions.
Additionally, Du Zhong tea (杜仲茶) is effective for tonifying the kidneys and strengthening bones, aiding in the treatment of lower back and knee pain caused by Yang Deficiency. It is particularly beneficial for patients with impotence and premature ejaculation, and can also help alleviate frequent urination and urgency. Dietary recommendations include avoiding cold and raw foods, abstaining from alcohol, and not staying up late, as these habits are detrimental to recovery.
