As we age, the pressures of society continue to increase. Unhealthy lifestyle habits such as staying up late, excessive drinking, overeating, and engaging in sexual activity while intoxicated are harming our kidneys. We may experience fatigue, soreness and weakness in the lower back and knees, lack of strength in movement, softness and laxity in the lower abdomen, and frequent urination. These are all signs of kidney yang deficiency. If not addressed in time, it can burden the entire body.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the kidney is the "foundation of innate constitution," storing "kidney yang," which is like a small stove in the body. It warms all the organs, promotes the circulation of qi and blood. Once kidney yang is deficient, the "small stove" goes out, and the body will feel cold everywhere. It will also affect other organs in the body, while the mental state will plummet, and male friends' functions will decline.
For this situation, we can refer toGuizhi Longgu Muli DecoctionIt is particularly suitable for individuals with prolonged kidney yang deficiency that affects the heart and mind.
