Treating Kidney Deficiency with Compendium of Materia Medica

Many men are particularly averse to outsiders saying that they have kidney deficiency, because men believe that kidney deficiency means they are not good in that aspect, which is an insult to their personality. Some people who really have kidney deficiency will want to take some kidney-tonifying medicine to strengthen themselves, and they will even believe in all kinds of folk remedies. In fact, there are Chinese medicine prescriptions for treating kidney deficiency in "Compendium of Materia Medica". The editor will introduce a few to you below.

Wolfberry

"Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "Goji berry can nourish the kidney and produce essence, nourish the liver, improve eyesight, strengthen essence and bones, relieve fatigue, improve complexion, whiten the skin, improve eyesight and calm the mind, and make people live longer." Chinese medicine often uses it to treat liver and kidney yin deficiency, sore waist, dizziness, forgetfulness, vertigo, lightheadedness and excessive tears, thirst, spermatorrhea and other symptoms. "Bencao Jingshu" believes that "wolfberry is moist and nourishing, specializing in nourishing the kidney, moistening the lungs, promoting fluid production, and replenishing qi. It is an essential medicine for replenishing the liver and kidney yin deficiency, fatigue and internal heat."

The velvet antler in traditional Chinese medicine is an excellent product for nourishing the kidneys, improving essence and blood, and strengthening muscles and bones. It has a very good effect on impotence and premature ejaculation caused by insufficient kidney yang and deficiency of essence and blood. In addition, women with symptoms such as uterine coldness, infertility, frequent urination, etc. can also eat it in moderation. If you have symptoms such as cold, coughing up yellow phlegm, dry and bitter mouth, sore throat, and yellow and greasy tongue coating, do not take this product.

Gorgon fruit Gorgon fruit is known as the "ginseng in water". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Gorgon fruit can nourish the kidney and strengthen the essence, replenish the spleen and stop diarrhea. It is a nourishing and strengthening food, which is somewhat similar to lotus seeds, but the astringent and sedative effect of Gorgon fruit is stronger than lotus seeds. It is suitable for chronic diarrhea and frequent urination, nocturnal emission and spermatorrhea, excessive leucorrhea in women, and pain in the waist and knees. People call it a delicacy that “can keep babies young and the elderly long-lived”, and it is especially the first choice for tonic in summer and autumn.

Polygonum multiflorum has the effect of nourishing the liver and kidneys, and improving the essence and blood. Doctors in all dynasties have used it for people with kidney deficiency. Li Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty said: "Polygonum multiflorum can nourish blood and benefit liver, consolidate essence and benefit kidney, strengthen muscles and bones, and blacken hair. It is a good tonic, and its effect is better than that of Rehmannia glutinosa and Asparagus cochinchinensis." Huang Gongxiu, a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty, also said: "Polygonum multiflorum is said in all books to nourish water and strengthen kidney, make hair black and light, and is highly praised." It is suitable for people with kidney deficiency, premature graying hair, weak waist and knees, sore muscles and bones, men with spermatorrhea, and women with leucorrhea.

Eucommia ulmoides is a good medicine for nourishing the kidneys and can relieve symptoms of soreness of waist and knees, fatigue and spermatorrhea. Eucommia ulmoides is the bark of the Eucommia ulmoides tree. It is recorded in "Bencao Jing Jizhu" that when selecting Eucommia ulmoides, you can break it off. If there is white silk like cotton fiber inside, it is the Eucommia of better quality.

Yam

Li Shizhen said about yam: "It replenishes kidney qi and strengthens the spleen and stomach." He highly praised its kidney-tonifying and spleen-strengthening functions. People with weak spleen and stomach and weak kidney can use it as a common food to nourish their body. "Bencao Zheng" said: "Yam can strengthen the spleen and replenish deficiency, nourish the essence and strengthen the kidney, treat all kinds of deficiencies and injuries, and cure the five kinds of fatigue and seven kinds of injuries." Yam is regarded as a panacea for treating deficiency and fatigue.
