"Kidney deficiency" is not only a problem for men, but women can also experience kidney deficiency. What should women do if they have kidney deficiency? Traditional Chinese medicine has three dietary therapies that can help treat it, as follows:
Symptoms of Kidney Deficiency in Women
1. Increased Hair Loss
Have you noticed that your once luscious and shiny black hair is becoming dry, thin, and losing its luster?
The best hair care products and weekly professional treatments can't save you from the embarrassment of thinning hair.
You may want to consider if your problem is related to a decline in kidney function.
2. Eyelid Swelling
When you wake up in the morning, if your eyes feel dry, you might think it's because you spent too much time in front of the computer the day before.
But wait, take a closer look, are your lower eyelids swollen? Be careful, as these are signs of kidney deficiency.
3. Weight Gain, Weight Gain, and More Weight Gain
Your appetite hasn't increased, your lifestyle remains the same, but your weight keeps going up.
Even if you exercise for a few hours every day, the results are not as expected.
Although few people would associate obesity with kidney deficiency, the fact is that kidney deficiency is one of the culprits of weight gain.
4. Feeling Cold
The temperature in the office that others find comfortable always makes you shiver, making it difficult for you to reach a consensus with your colleagues on the air conditioning temperature.
Do you always wear more clothes than others? Do you get diarrhea when you catch a chill?
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that all of these are caused by kidney yang deficiency.
