When it comes to replenishing the kidneys, many people’s first reaction is that “men need to replenish the kidneys”.
No matter when friends get together to chat, or when you feel a little tired, this topic can always trigger a lot of discussion.
There are indeed some friends around who buy all kinds of deer antlers and also buy cistanche deserticola to make wine. They think that after drinking it, they can "get stronger".
But we may not have thought that blindly taking supplements, especially the indiscriminate use of warm and dry kidney-yang-tonifying drugs, will not only fail to help, but may also cause the body to become more "heated", resulting in dry mouth and tongue, insomnia and irritability.
Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to syndrome differentiation. Kidney yang deficiency and Kidney yin deficiency Completely different.
People with weak Yang Qi are afraid of cold, and their hands and feet will be cold, and their waist and knees will be sore and weak. However, people with Yin deficiency will have hot palms and soles of their feet, and they are prone to sweating during sleep.
Giving yang-tonifying medicine to people with yin deficiency is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
Therefore, the classic kidney-tonifying medicated soup recipes we are talking about today are mainly for friends who have real symptoms of yang deficiency, and they must be used only after knowing their own constitution.
Qibian Zhuangyang Decoction: a classic medicinal diet that warms and nourishes the liver and kidneys
This soup is widely spread among the people and is mainly made with Cistanche deserticola and wolfberry To match.
Cistanche deserticola, known as "desert ginseng", has a relatively mild nature and is commonly used to nourish kidney yang and replenish essence and blood.
The method is to take the beef whip and stew it together with the fat hen, add Sichuan peppercorns and ginger to remove the fishy smell, then add Cistanche deserticola, and then wolfberry.
The concept of the whole soup is composed of "flesh and blood products" combined with herbal medicines. This soup is specially made for those friends who suffer from insufficient liver and kidney essence and blood, which in turn leads to soreness and weakness in the waist and knees, dizziness, tinnitus, and even impotence and spermatorrhea.
However, I have to remind you that this soup is intended to be warming and tonic. If you are suffering from a cold or fever, or have pain in your throat, or your tongue coating is yellow and greasy, then don’t drink it yet.
Stewed Oxtail Soup: Replenishes essence and blood, warms kidney yang
This soup is more peaceful than the previous one. It uses oxtail and cistanche deserticola as ingredients, and is paired with carrots and green bamboo shoots to add a sweet taste.
Oxtail is rich in collagen and various amino acids. According to the concept of traditional Chinese medicine, it has the effect of replenishing qi, nourishing blood, and strengthening muscles and bones.
Combined with Cistanche deserticola, it can "warm kidney yang and replenish essence and blood".
Many friends are prone to cold pain in their waist and knees in winter, or their bodies feel cold when they get up more often at night. At this time, drinking this soup will warm your body from the inside out.
However, it should be noted that chicken soup and cooking wine are added to the soup. Those who suffer from high uric acid or gout must avoid it and don't be greedy.
External use of gallnut decoction: the idea of astringing and fixing astringency
In addition to the soup for internal use, there is also a classic recipe for external use, which is to use gallnut Decoction, smoke and wash.
The taste of gallnuts is sour and astringent, and it has astringent-related functions. It is often used to alleviate the problem of premature ejaculation caused by unstable kidney qi.
The method is quite simple. Select 20g of gallnuts, simmer over low heat for half an hour, decant out the liquid, add an appropriate amount of warm water, fumigate and wash the local area while it is hot, and then soak it when the water temperature is suitable.
This method mainly relies on local effects to help solidify astringency, and is slightly safer than topical drugs, but it still needs to be persisted for a period of time to see results.
Heledan and Jinsuo Guxie Decoction: classic pills for conditioning from the inside
Among the medicines for oral administration, the medicine called Heledan is made by grinding epimedium, schisandra chinensis, dodder, cornus, mulberry, and fleece-flower root in the same amount into powder, and then boiling it with water to make pills.
Epimedium is a commonly used medicine for warming and tonifying kidney yang, and combined with medicinal materials such as Schisandra chinensis and Cornus officinale, which can astringe and fix astringency, the whole prescription shows a state of "tonifying the body and improving recovery".
Jinsuo Guxie Decoction is a decoction. It uses drugs with astringent effects such as Golden Cherry Seeds, Gorgon Fruit, Forged Dragon Bones, and Forged Oysters, and is combined with Morinda officinalis and Lycium barbarum for warming and tonic. The main idea is to "Gu Jing Guan".
Both of these prescriptions emphasize that during the initial stage of taking the medicine, sexual intercourse should be controlled, so as to leave a space for the body to recover.
Finally, I want to say a few more words to you.
Many people equate "tonifying kidneys" with "enhancing sexual function". This is a big misunderstanding.
If it is not an actual kidney deficiency condition, long-term use of these drugs with warming and drying properties will cause the Yin blood to be consumed and damaged, which will lead to the upward spread of deficiency fire.
In addition, the formulas of these types of traditional Chinese medicine, even if they are medicinal soups, also belong to the scope of "medicine" and are not ordinary ingredients.
If you are still unsure about your physical condition, it is best to see a professional Chinese medicine practitioner to determine whether it is appropriate based on the tongue coating and pulse condition.
The health of the body depends on regular work and rest, moderate exercise, and a balanced diet. This is more important than taking any supplements, that's it.
