Nowadays, when many male compatriots feel that their backs are sore and their legs are weak and their spirits are poor, they immediately label themselves as "kidney deficiency". In fact, traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the "balance of yin and yang", and it is like pouring water into a leaky bucket, which will never be full.

Recently, I met a driver in his 40s at the outpatient clinic, who always said that after taking kidney tonics, his mouth was dry and his urine was yellow. I asked him to stop those big tonic prescriptions first and use Huangjing with Suoyang to drink water. A week later, when he was at a follow-up visit, he said bluntly, "I can't stay up late at night, and I have energy in the morning."

This group of drugs is in line with the principle of "seeking yang in yin and yin in yang" in traditional Chinese medicine. Huangjing, a medicine, is recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that can "replenish the deficiency and fill the essence", it goes to the kidney meridian, which specializes in nourishing the kidney water, just like pouring water into a dry pond. The lock is warm and not dry, which can not only warm the kidney yang, but also not be as easy to get angry as deer antler, which is especially suitable for modern people's weak and blocked physique.

Specific usage: Take 9 grams of Huangjing (about the size of a thumb) and 5 grams of Suoyang (two sections long of the little finger), boil it in a health pot for 20 minutes, and drink it as tea. Pay attention to two points: one is not to use a metal pot, and the other is not to drink when you have a cold and fever.

Traditional Chinese medicine looks at kidney deficiency to divide yin and yang, yang deficiency is more afraid of cold, nocturia is more, yin deficiency is often dry and hot, night sweats. But the beauty of this group of drugs lies in the two-way adjustment - Huangjing has a little warmth when nourishing yin, and a little moisturizing when locking yang and nourishing yang, just like installing a thermostat for the body. However, I would like to remind you that if you have not improved after drinking for two weeks, you have to find a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to take your pulse, don't toss around by yourself.

Finally, to be honest, kidney tonic is not to catch up with fashion, and if you feel backache, you will make up for it, but it will break the balance of yin and yang. First find out whether you are "short of water" or "lack of fire", or like this driver master, "water and fire are empty", and then prescribe the right medicine, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort.
