Kidney deficiency manifests in four tongue appearances, self-assess by examining your tongue
During routine consultations, many patients say they clearly have "kidney deficiency," so why does taking Zhi Bai Di Huang Tang not work? In fact, kidney deficiency is divided into several types. Today, I will teach you a trick to see which type you actually have.
I. Kidney Yang Deficiency
Look at the tongue: The tongue is pale in color, enlarged, and often has tooth marks on the edges from being pressed by the teeth.
Symptom Manifestations: These individuals usually feel cold, have cold hands and feet, experience soreness and weakness in the lower back and knees, have a pale complexion, poor mental state, lack of energy, and always feel tired.
II. Kidney Yin Deficiency
Observing the tongue: The tongue appears bright red or dry with cracks, it is relatively thin, has little coating, and there are small red raised dots on the surface.
Symptom Manifestations: These individuals usually fear heat and sweat easily, especially sweating during sleep at night; they experience dryness in the body, dry mouth and throat, and rough, peeling skin.
III. Deficiency of Kidney Qi
Look at the tongue: The tongue is pale in color, relatively tender, lacks luster on the surface, and has a thin, white, and moist coating.
Symptom Manifestation: This type of patient experiences incontinence of urine and stool, general weakness, shortness of breath upon movement, and a pale, dull complexion.
IV. Insufficiency of Kidney Essence
