Hello everyone, I'm Dr. Wang. In winter, many people feel that they are yang deficient, and their hands and feet are like ice cubes, and the first "savior" that comes to mind is Guifu Dihuang Pill. Strangely, after many friends eat it, they feel that the effect is mediocre, and some people even feel a little angry or uncomfortable. Why is this?

Let's talk about this today. In fact, the problem may be that your "yang deficiency" is not just a matter of the kidneys.

Think about it, in addition to the typical manifestations of kidney yang deficiency such as being afraid of cold, sore waist and knees, and always wanting to go to the toilet at night, there are also the following situations:

I have a bad appetite and nothing I see.

My stomach is always cold, and I don't dare to eat a little raw and cold fruit.

If you don't digest food, you will easily have bloating.

The worst thing is that if you don't eat a little wrong, or your stomach is cold, you have to find a toilet quickly and have loose stools.

If you also account for several of these, it is likely to be what traditional Chinese medicine often calls "spleen and kidney yang deficiency".

In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, there are two fundamentals in our body. The kidneys are the "innate foundation", just like the savings in the family, the foundation given by our parents, the root of our body's yang energy, and the "fire" that ignites the fire. The spleen is the "acquired foundation", which is equivalent to the kitchen and chef at home, responsible for processing the meals we eat into qi and blood energy and transporting them to the whole body.

The relationship between these two organs is particularly iron. The "small stove" of the kidney yang is full of firepower, and the "pot" of the spleen and stomach can be heated, the work can be vigorous, and the digestion and absorption will be good. In turn, the spleen and stomach function is powerful, and it can continuously produce new energy to replenish it, so that the "small stove" of kidney yang can burn more vigorously.

Therefore, once one of them is empty, the other is easy to suffer. Many times, replenishing yang is like adding firewood to the stove, you just work the "fire" of the kidneys, but forget that the spleen and stomach, the department responsible for transporting and manufacturing "new firewood", have also gone on strike, so the effect is naturally much worse.

Guifu Dihuang Pill is a good medicine, but its main task is to warm and replenish kidney yang, and it is a bit out of reach for the problem of spleen and stomach deficiency and cold.

At this time, there is a more comprehensive choice in traditional Chinese medicine - Gui Fu Li Zhong Wan .

Its beauty lies in the "spleen and kidney tonification".

You see its compatibility:

There are two flavors of cinnamon and aconite in it, which are full of firepower, specially to warm the kidney yang and give the most fundamental "fire of life" in our body.

At the same time, it also uses dried ginger, ginseng, and atractylodes, which are experts in warming the spleen and stomach, strengthening the spleen and stomach, and can directly heat the "cold pot" of the spleen and stomach and enhance its ability to transport and transform.

In this way, while adding firewood to the "fire" (nourishing kidney yang), the "kitchen" is repaired so that it can produce energy normally (strengthening the spleen and yang), grasping with both hands, and both hands are hard. In this way, yang energy can truly replenish from the roots and emerge continuously.

To sum up:

If you are simply afraid of cold, backache, and cold hands and feet, it may be no problem to use Guifu Dihuang Pills. But if you are accompanied by obvious digestive problems on these basis, such as poor appetite, cold stomach, and diarrhea, then considering the idea of tonifying the spleen and kidneys, it may be more correct to use Gui Fu Li Zhong Pill.

Finally, a reminder: Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment, and everyone's physique and situation are very different. This article is to provide an idea, before specific medication, be sure to consult a professional Chinese medicine practitioner and let him help you accurately take the pulse, so that it is the safest and most effective.
