How to massage and tonify the kidney in traditional Chinese medicine. Nourishing the kidney is a very important part of health preservation, especially for people with kidney deficiency. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "sufficient kidney qi can eliminate all diseases." We should pay attention to nourishing the kidney and protecting the kidney every day. Nourishing the kidney does not mean that we must eat some valuable kidney tonic products. In fact, it is possible to maintain a good kidney without spending money. Let's take a look at the kidney nourishing methods of traditional Chinese medicine without spending money.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, "kidney qi is sufficient to eliminate all diseases.". The left kidney of the human body is yang, and the right kidney is yin. The left kidney governs the functions of the six internal organs (gallbladder, stomach, large intestine, small intestine, bladder, and triple energizer), while the right kidney governs the operation of the five internal organs (heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney). The kidney plays a crucial role in warming, nourishing, nourishing, and stimulating the five viscera and six internal organs.
The vital energy in the kidney, also known as the essence, is the driving force of life. Kidney deficiency weakens vitality, and various diseases will follow. Kidney generates essence, essence generates marrow, marrow strengthens bones, marrow connects the brain, and the brain is a sea of marrow. Kidney deficiency leads to empty marrow, empty marrow leads to soft bone, and soft bone leads to numbness in the waist and knees, tooth loss, bone hyperplasia, intervertebral disc herniation, arthritis, cervical neuralgia, and even dizziness, tinnitus, forgetfulness, slow reaction, decreased energy, hair loss, skin wrinkles, and other phenomena. Deficiency of kidney yang leads to impotence, premature ejaculation, and spermatorrhea in men; Women suffer from irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, and infertility due to uterine cold.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that kidney deficiency is the root cause of human diseases, and the treatment of many visceral diseases should start with tonifying the kidney. There is also a rhyme in traditional Chinese medicine: "Liver disease regulates the kidney first, kidney disease regulates the lung first, lung disease regulates the spleen first, spleen disease regulates the heart first, and heart disease regulates the liver first.".
