With the increase of health care awareness, more and more people learn through health books and programs that “kidney is the root of innate nature”, “kidney stores essence”, “kidney is the master of bone”, “kidney opens the orifice in the ear”, “waist is the house of kidney”, etc. “The kidneys open the ears”, “the waist is the capital of the kidneys” and so on. It is simply the lifeblood, can not treat it, so a variety of “supplement” was born. TV stations, newspapers and so on rolling play “he good I also”. It seems that Chinese men are kidney deficiency, children are deficient in calcium. Men are still evasive about these things, but women go straight to the hospital to consult their husbands’ problems, sounding very opinionated, and even buy good tonic drugs; the catchy drug is Liu Wei Di Huang Wan, is it really effective?
It must be understood: from a medical point of view, deficiency is only to be supplemented, and there is a difference between Yin deficiency and Yang deficiency, blind tonic may backfire.
Look at the principle
Kidney deficiency is divided into yin and yang, and the distinction depends on the symptoms
The important thing to say first is that kidney deficiency is not exclusive to men, women may also have kidney deficiency, but the real point of distinction is yin and yang. When it comes to yin and yang, they are not to figure out the different symptoms, which is the essential homework before taking a tonic.
Kidney yin deficiency: typical manifestations include soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, loss of weight, dizziness and tinnitus, hot flashes and night sweats, yellow urine, heat in the heart of the hands and feet, boredom and dryness of the heart, dryness of the mouth and throat, and other manifestations of “internal heat”, one word, heat. Two words, hot and dry. In men are prone to premature ejaculation and spermatorrhea, and women are more likely to show less menstruation and amenorrhea.
Kidney Yang deficiency: In contrast to Yin deficiency and dry heat, Yang deficiency is the fear of warmth and cold, lack of vitality, this symptom is especially obvious in winter. The main symptoms include severe fear of cold in winter, and even in summer, the hands and feet are still not warm, the face is pale, easily fatigued, the back is cold and weak, drowsy and dreamy, prone to cold sweats, urine is clear and long, frequent urination at night, and swelling of the lower limbs. Men tend to have impotence and women have delayed periods or even amenorrhea and infertility.
Thus, it seems that the difference between the two types of kidney deficiency is not small.
Some people think: it does not matter how many kinds of kidney deficiency, I just need to know how to make up for it, the advertising said “six flavored Dihuangwan” to cure kidney deficiency, eat some of it, okay?
Revealed —- thousand ancient medicine six wisdom Dihuangwan only manage kidney Yin deficiency
It is true that the Six Flavored Dihuang Pills can almost be said to be the most familiar kidney medicine today. I’m afraid most people don’t know that it has been a famous formula since ancient times: it originated from Zhang Zhongjing’s “Jin Kui Kidney Qi Pill”, and was later reduced and modified by Qian Yi, the founder of pediatrics in the Song Dynasty, eventually forming the Six Flavored Dihuang Pill, which consists of only six Chinese herbs and was recorded in the “Pediatric Medicine Certificate It was first used in pediatrics.
It is true that it was firstly used in pediatrics to treat pediatric dysplasia. But after the Song Dynasty, many doctors found that the formula “Shu Di Huang, Shan Yao, Cornu Cervi Pantotrichum, Peony Peel, Ze Di, Fu Ling” was not only for children, but also for adults with kidney Yin deficiency. This should be given three words capitalized and bolded – kidney yin deficiency.
The history of this famous formula, now you know it, nowadays advertising slogans that it cures kidney deficiency, in fact, some exaggerated the suspicion of therapeutic effect, the treatment of kidney yin deficiency it is the root of the red, kidney yang deficiency patients are not suitable, this is the composition of the drugs in the formula decision. The actual “six flavors” of this ancient recipe are included.
The six flavors of Dihuangwan ingredients exposed
It is not just a matter of talking about using the right medicine, but the essence of the famous formula that has been passed down. The actual six flavors of Dihuang Pill are the way to nourish the kidney yin.
The first is three kinds of tonic herbs, although it is “tonic” but not imagine that ginseng as easy to “on fire” type. The first is to nourish yin, which is also one of the ways to make up for the deficiency.
The rehmannia 4 taels: nourish Yin, replenish blood, already fill the marrow.
Cornus officinalis 2 taels: nourishes the liver and kidneys, astringent essence and fixes deficiency.
Yam 2 taels: benefits the lung and cough, nourishes the kidney and enhances the essence.
There are also three “laxatives”, please rest assured that they are not diarrhea, but to remove deficiency heat and dampness in patients with yin deficiency, used in small amounts, in order to more effectively “tonic”.
Mudanpi 1 tael 5 money: clear deficiency heat, cool the blood and disperse blood stasis.
White Poria 1 tael 5 money: strengthen the spleen and dampness.
Ze diarrhea 1 tael: diarrhea kidney turbidity, clear dampness and heat.
Conclusion – overturning the cure-all formula
According to the statistics of the four famous doctors in the capital now, modern people have seven out of ten Yang deficiency, Yin deficiency is one out of hundred, you should understand it!
So which people and which cases need to be carefully selected?
1, there are more obvious manifestations of Yang deficiency: fear of cold, cold hands and feet and other performance. The effect is contrary, it is like adding insult to injury.
2, there is no obvious kidney Yin deficiency of healthy people: is a drug, not health care or food, should not be taken for a long time.
3, poor digestive function of the spleen and stomach: everything has pros and cons, the formula of Yin and soft drugs accounted for a large number of suspicion of hindering the digestive function, especially the elderly children need to be guided by a physician to take.
4, really need to take, need to avoid spicy diet.
5, should not be taken during the cold, so as not to delay recovery.
