Many people are constantly worried about having poor kidney health but don't know how to assess it. Today, I'm going to teach you all how to find clues in daily life, especially in your sleep patterns, which can reveal the "little secrets" about your kidneys! If you don't experience these two situations while sleeping, you should be secretly delighted—it indicates your kidneys are quite strong!

The first is sleeping soundly without sweating. Some people break out in a heavy sweat at night during sleep, as if they've just finished a run, and it can even soak through the sheets. This is mostly due to kidney yin deficiency causing "trouble." But if you fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow, sleep soundly through the night, and wake up feeling fresh and dry, then your kidneys are likely in good shape—a solid "healthy contender."

The second is not needing to get up at night. Imagine the kidneys as a "precision processing plant." When kidney function is poor, it's like there's a problem with the machine parts—the filtered water can't be properly recycled and reused, which naturally leads to frequent urination. If you don't struggle at night, don't need to make trips to the bathroom, and can sleep peacefully through the night, it means your kidneys are doing a great job filtering and recycling, and your kidney function is reliable!

Now, do you understand how to assess kidney health through sleep? In the future, don’t worry needlessly anymore! Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment, using different prescriptions for different symptoms to achieve a cure. If any of you have similar conditions, the first step is to check your tongue coating. Send me a photo of your tongue and describe your symptoms, and I’ll provide a free assessment to determine the general direction for your treatment.
