The waist is a very important part of the human body, traditionally the waist is related to many organs, including the waist muscles, nerves, kidneys, lumbar vertebrae and other organs and tissues, so waist discomfort is very often related to these organs and tissues. Many people believe that the lumbar region is most closely related to the kidneys, and that lumbar discomfort means that the kidneys are not good, and then they start to take long-term kidney tonics such as Liu Wei Di Huang Wan, Gui Shen Di Huang Wan, Jin Gui Kidney Qi Wan, or other famous kidney tonics or health products advocated in TV and newspaper advertisements, and as a result, not only does the lumbar pain not ease, but other discomforts appear.
In fact, apart from the kidney itself, there are other factors that can cause lumbago and back pain, such as ankylosing spondylitis, lumbar spondylolisthesis, lumbar disc lesions, lumbar muscle strain, cremaster or cremaster nerve disorders, gynecological pelvic inflammatory disease, etc.
What is “deficiency”?
Deficiency is essentially a sign of diminished function. Therefore, understanding kidney deficiency is a manifestation of the decline of these functions that the kidneys are in charge of.
Because of this, there are many functions covered by the kidney in Chinese medicine, so many uncomfortable symptoms in our body may be attributed to kidney deficiency, such as clear and long urine, frequent urination, insomnia and hair loss, infertility, poor inhalation, tooth loss, osteoporosis, weakness of the waist and knees, forgetfulness and premature aging, mental weakness, etc.
That according to the modern adult habits, the pace of life and stress, coupled with the natural decline of the body after middle age, we are very easy to produce various symptoms of kidney deficiency, which can be reflected in our facial color, tongue and pulse, but the existing means of examination can be completely free of abnormalities, the body organs can not appear substantial lesions.
We understand that kidney deficiency is a symptom that arises from the diminution of some body functions, not necessarily a substantial change in the organs, do we still need to treat it? If you suspect that you have a kidney deficiency, clear kidney examination and laboratory tests but no abnormalities, but the symptoms are obvious, this is possible to regulate through Chinese medicine.
Chinese medicine is often incomparable to Western medicine in relieving symptoms. As a result of the wisdom of our ancestors, Chinese medicine embodies the understanding of heaven and earth, the laws of nature, the human body and so on, without any scientific and technological assistance.
So find a reliable Chinese medicine practitioner, do not believe in charlatans, do not buy herbs and health products indiscriminately, it is likely that because of ignorance and the application of nephrotoxic drugs, serious will lead to kidney failure. This is not alarming, every year there will be no kidney disease indiscriminate medication to eat out of kidney disease people.
