Traditional Chinese medicine believes that kidney can store essence, control water, control bone, control qi, open ears and relieve constipation. It can be seen that the renal function in the category of traditional Chinese medicine is far more important than that in the category of western medicine. It means that the basic substance of life is hidden in the kidney, divided into innate essence and acquired essence, which are combined and stored in the kidney to meet the needs of human growth, development and reproduction. In adolescence, kidney essence began to flourish, women had menstrual cramps, men had semen discharge, and sexual function gradually matured, all of which were related to kidney essence. With the aging of human body, kidney essence gradually declines, and sexual function declines or even disappears.
Therefore, when people are weak, get older and get sick in autumn, the essence of the human body will naturally be insufficient. If something goes wrong, as long as you pay attention to rest and maintenance, the "illness" will disappear automatically, and there is no need to take medicine and tonic at all.
In reality, many diseases can also cause symptoms similar to kidney deficiency, such as nocturia caused by prostatic hypertrophy, "unable to lift" caused by hypertension and diabetes, backache or disc herniation. If these problems are simply attributed to kidney deficiency, no matter how you tonify the kidney, it will not be effective, and sometimes it will even delay the treatment of the primary disease and aggravate the symptoms.
