People are born from the kidney.
People have kidneys, trees have roots, and good people with kidneys live long.
The kidney is like a "water purifier" of the body, filtering and cleaning blood every day.
It can purify 1 liter of blood every minute, and 1 hour can filter whole body blood 12 times.
Such a strong kidney is easy to be damaged, which leads to a high incidence of chronic kidney disease and harms human health.
There are five manifestations of the body, and the kidney has also become "virtual". If not, congratulations, the kidney is still very strong.
1: Morning urine is dark and frothy.
The change of urine is an important index of renal function.
It is especially important to pay attention to the first urine after getting up in the morning.
Normal urine color should be light yellow and transparent. Once the color darkens and bubbles appear, you should be alert.
2. I get up in the morning with no spirit and poor spirit.
After a night's sleep, the human body should be energetic after getting up in the morning.
However, I don't stay up late at night and get up in the morning, but I am very tired, very tired, and my spirit is very poor.
At this time, we should be alert to kidney damage, leading to insufficient yang and accumulation of toxins, which will produce a feeling of listlessness and fatigue.
3. Black ears, hearing loss.
According to Chinese medicine, kidney qi can communicate with ears, kidney is harmonious, and ears can smell five tones.
Once the kidney is damaged and its function declines, it will lead to hearing loss and frequent tinnitus.
In addition, black ears are a sign of kidney qi decline, and most of these people are afraid of cold.
4. Frequent nocturia
After the kidney is damaged, the concentration function of the kidney decreases. In addition, the kidney can not completely eliminate the metabolites in the body during the day, so it needs to be excreted at night, and nocturia increases.
Under normal circumstances, adults wake up more than twice after sleeping because of urination, even if nocturia increases.
People with few kidneys generally drink too much water, and young people are healthy and don't need to urinate at night.
5. Insomnia, dreaming and waking up easily.
The kidneys are also responsible for maintaining hormone levels in the body. If you sleep, you will often wake up, dream more, grind your teeth, etc. This may be a sign of deficiency of kidney-qi.
People with good kidneys can generally sleep until dawn, which also shows that the hormone level in the body is relatively balanced and the renal function cycle is normal.

Then, wipe it down to the tail and then wipe it up.
Rub up and down until the skin is reddish and feels hot.
Do it 50 ~ 100 times each time, once in the morning and once in the evening.
