The weather has slowly become colder, Chinese medicine believes that "the kidney collects essence, the essence of the first day", which shows the important position of the kidney in the human body. Chinese medicine also says that the main collection of autumn and winter is the most suitable for a kidneys. So there is a basis for the saying that autumn and winter are good for the kidneys. However, there are some rules for kidney supplementation. First of all, we need to know when the kidney should be supplemented, naturally, when the kidney deficiency.

So what are the common symptoms of kidney deficiency?

1. faster breathing, easy shortness of breath.

We all know that breathing is the function of the lungs, and breathing and the relationship between the kidney is also very close, Chinese medicine said "the lungs are the main exhale, the kidneys are the main nerve". When you move, you're not able to take in q, which means the kidneys are deficient. For the same reason, always yawning, and wanting to take a deep breath, is also one of the manifestations of kidney deficiency.

2. waist soreness and leg weakness, difficulty in ascending to heights.

The kidneys have two, on both sides of the waist. Therefore, in Chinese medicine called "waist for the kidney of the House", waist soreness and leg weakness, difficulty in ascending, is the performance of kidney deficiency. In addition, "the kidney is the main bone", kidney deficiency will lead to osteoporosis, and will also appear as the symptoms of lumbar weakness.

3. blurred vision, dry eyes.

Chinese medicine will be the pupil of the eye called the "water wheel", or "kidney water", kidney problems, can not send kidney water to the eyes, the eyes will feel dry, blurred vision, and even tears in the wind.

4. cold hands and feet, heel pain.

The Yang of the kidney, the body has a warming effect, Chinese medicine is called the "life of the fire" if the fire in the body will be cold hands and feet, and even the whole body is afraid of cold. Because of the lack of kidney Yang, poor circulation, blood can not be transported to the end will be cold hands and feet, and heel pain is also the same reason.

5. urination is not smooth, frequent night urination.

Chinese medicine says "kidney division two stool", that is to say, urination and defecation are also controlled by the kidney, kidney deficiency will appear poor urination, or weakness, dripping incomplete, serious will also be incontinent, Chinese medicine called "kidney qi is not solid". The night is the main yin, kidney deficiency, people will urinate at night, serious will also affect sleep.

If you have these symptoms, it means that you have a kidney deficiency problem. Weak people with insufficient kidney essence should pay more attention to kidney health in particular.

There is something to be said about kidney supplementation

The so-called autumn and winter kidney supplementation should be the right remedy. I would like to make a few suggestions for your reference.

1, work and rest in moderation, quiet to nourish the essence.

The kidney is not just what to eat, lifestyle habits are very important. Chinese medicine believes that in March "early to bed and late to rise, must wait for daylight". Because winter is the main Yin, we should be quieter and less active to prevent injury to the essence. Less movement is not moving, but to properly reduce the amount of activity, the body's essence is collected, which is also the kidney.

2, diet in moderation, nourish the spleen, and benefit the kidneys.

Diet is very important to the human body, dietary deficiencies, malnutrition, natural failure to achieve the purpose of kidney, but we are now facing the problem that most people do not lack nutrition, large supplements do not benefit the kidneys, but rather increase the burden on the kidneys, especially high protein, high salt, high-fat diet, these dietary preferences will affect the spleen and kidney function, the light is bloating, diarrhea, serious disease. Therefore, a light diet and not too full is to supplement the kidneys.

3, the combination of medicine and food, to distinguish the yin and Yang.

The kidney is not a simple matter, Chinese medicine will be divided into kidney Yang deficiency, kidney Yin deficiency, etc., kidney medicine and food to have a choice, not blindly into the supplement, the simplest is to distinguish between Yin deficiency, Yang deficiency, Yang deficiency to supplement Yang, Yin deficiency to nourish Yin, if the distinction is not clear, or not to supplement as good.

Generally speaking, the kidney Yang deficiency people are afraid of cold, frequent urination, swelling, sexual function is reduced, to strengthen the kidney Yang, you can eat some black beans, walnuts, sesame, river shrimp, mutton, antler, ginseng, sea horse, etc., these aphrodisiac effect of medicinal foods are warmer if the complementary reverse or complementary over the fire, hypertension, hyperglycemia is not suitable for people.

Kidney yin deficiency of people with dryness and sweating, dry eyes, insomnia, and dreams, you can eat sea cucumber, turtle, milk, corduroys, endometrium, mistake, silver fungus, lily of the valley, etc. These are medicines to nourish the kidney and yin, but they are cold, if the supplement is reversed or too much will produce chest tightness, bloating, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, not suitable for people with poor gastrointestinal.

In short, kidney supplementation is not a simple matter, supplementation is not appropriate, winter kidney supplementation should be carefully supplemented, it is best to consult a Chinese doctor.
