[What is Kidney Deficiency]

Kidney deficiency is a syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine, referring to insufficient essence, qi, yin, and yang in the kidneys. Kidney deficiency is a comprehensive concept that encompasses various diseases such as mental fatigue, dizziness, tinnitus, forgetfulness, hair loss, soreness and weakness of the lower back, nocturnal emission, impotence, male infertility, female infertility, and menopausal syndrome.

There are many types of kidney deficiency, such as kidney yin deficiency, kidney yang deficiency, and kidney qi deficiency. Kidney deficiency and kidney weakness mentioned in the symptoms cover the circulation of qi and blood in the kidneys and kidney meridians, or the function of organs and tissues related to the kidneys, such as the urinary and reproductive systems, which are different from the anatomical concept of the kidneys in Western medicine.

Modern science has proven that when a person has kidney deficiency, it can lead to a decrease in immune function.
