A few months ago, a patient came to me and said that his nighttime duration was getting shorter and shorter, and his hardness was also getting worse. He had taken many supplements but to no avail, and he even kept getting internal heat. The more he treated it, the less confident he became, and the worse the results got.A simple glance at the tongue reveals major issues; the focus of kidney tonification has been missed, leading to increasing deficiency. So, how can one properly tonify the kidneys?
And this patient is clearlySevere liver stagnation, red and swollen sides of the tongue, frequent chest tightness, high life stress, constant irritability and restlessness, feeling depressed and unhappy all day longIt is evident that the liver is also experiencing issues, andThe kidney is the mother of the liver. If the liver is not well, as the child, it will steal the mother's qi. Therefore, the liver and kidney are one. If the liver is congested, the kidney will also be affected.。
Secondly, the patient does not respond to any tonics because the body fails to absorb and transform them, indicating that the spleen and stomach may already be compromised.
Look at the patient's tongue again,Obvious tooth marks around the tongue, thick and greasy tongue coating, poor digestion on weekdays, and frequent stomach pain are manifestations of dampness and cold in the spleen and stomach. When digestion is impaired, no matter what nutrients are consumed, they are difficult to digest and transport. Warm-tonifying and greasy nutrients only increase the burden on the spleen and stomach, leading to more severe stagnation in the body. Over time, this can easily cause internal heat.At this point, we need to strengthen the spleen, and to strengthen the spleen, we should first soothe the liver. Because in the five elements, the liver governs wood, the spleen governs earth, and wood overcomes earth. If liver stagnation is severe, it will lead to spleen deficiency.
Our first step begins with soothing the liver, and we have made a simple adjustment to the patient's prescriptionRefer to the modified Xiaoyao Powder to soothe the liver and strengthen the spleen, improving the patient's liver and spleen function. Then, use Wuzi Yanzong Wan to tonify the kidneys and replenish essence. After taking the medication for a period of time, there was slight improvement, but emotional stagnation persisted. It is recommended that the patient go out more often to vent their emotions and continue taking the medication.A few days ago, during the follow-up examination, the condition had already improved significantly, sexual activity was basically normal, and the marital relationship was gradually becoming harmonious.
Therefore, when tonifying the kidneys, one should not only address the surface; doing so would be like throwing a stone into the sea without causing any ripples.
