Do you often hear old Chinese medicine practitioners sayThe kidney is the foundation of the innate constitution, and the spleen is the foundation of the acquired constitutionThis may sound a bit mysterious, but it is actually quite easy to understand. For example, think of our body as a big tree. The kidneys are the "roots" buried underground, the "innate capital" given by our parents, which determines the foundation of our health. The spleen is like the soil and sunlight, responsible for converting the food we eat into nutrients, gradually nourishing the roots of the tree—this is the "acquired nourishment."
If the root is not firm and the soil is not good, the tree will definitely not grow well, and people are prone to illness. So what are the symptoms of spleen and kidney deficiency? For example,Always feeling tired, lazy to move, no energy to speak, poor appetite, bloating after eating a little, either loose and shapeless stools or not going to the bathroom for several days, frequent nighttime urination, scanty menstruation in women, sore lower back, and lack of energy in men, etc.。

Each person's constitution is different, just as some people have severe cold in the body, while others have excessive heart fire. The dosage and modifications of this formula need to be adjusted accordingly. Do not take the medicine based on the formula yourself! If you experience any discomfort, it is recommended to consult a professional TCM practitioner for syndrome differentiation and regulation.
