【What are the harms of kidney deficiency in men】
1. Kidney deficiency harms the liver.
The liver and kidneys are closely connected and influence each other, maintaining a coordinated balance. Therefore, they also affect each other in pathology.
2. Kidney deficiency harms the heart.
When kidney yin is insufficient and heart yang is excessive, kidney water cannot nourish the heart yin, and heart yin cannot restrain the heart yang. This leads to pathological changes such as palpitations, restlessness, insomnia, and frequent dreams, as well as symptoms of lower back and knee weakness and nocturnal emissions in men.
3. Kidney deficiency affects the lungs.
When kidney yin is deficient and the yang is excessive, it burns the lung yin, causing the lungs to lose moisture. This leads to lung and kidney yin deficiency, resulting in dry cough, hoarseness, hot flashes, night sweats, flushed cheeks, lower back and knee weakness, and nocturnal emissions in men.
4. Kidney deficiency harms the spleen.
The kidneys are congenital, and the spleen is acquired. When kidney yang is insufficient, it cannot warm the spleen yang, leading to spleen yang deficiency or prolonged spleen yang deficiency, which in turn affects kidney yang, resulting in both spleen and kidney yang deficiency.
【What traditional Chinese medicine can men use to treat kidney deficiency】
You can use nourishing yin and clearing heat herbs to nourish the liver and kidneys, such as Fructus Ligustri Lucidi, Cornus officinalis, Schisandra chinensis, Grindelia squarrosa, Ophiopogon japonicus, Radix Asparagi, Radix Rehmanniae, Rhizoma Dioscoreae, and Fructus Lycii.
Commonly used formulas include Liu Wei Di Huang Wan and Da Bu Yin Wan. For lung yin deficiency, Lily Solidifying Gold Decoction is recommended. For heart yin deficiency, Tianwang Bu Xin Wan is suitable. For spleen yin deficiency, Shen Rou Yang Zhen Decoction is recommended. For kidney yin deficiency, Liu Wei Wan is suitable. For liver yin deficiency, Yi Guan Jian is recommended.
The treatment principle should focus on nourishing yin and combining it with clearing heat. Additionally, it is necessary to select appropriate herbal formulas that nourish the yin of the relevant organs and assist in clearing the deficient heat of these organs. According to the theory of mutual root between yin and yang, a small amount of yang tonics should also be added.
