Sexy man: 60 seconds to test whether you have kidney deficiency

Modern people are under great pressure at work and in life, and they don’t pay attention to minor health problems, so it is too late to regret when major problems occur. If you have the following symptoms, be careful, these indicate that you have kidney deficiency!

1. Yawning: Yawning continuously and for a long time.

Yawning is a physiological phenomenon that we often encounter in life. It usually occurs when we are tired and sleepy, or when we are woken up from a deep sleep. Yawning at these times is a normal physiological phenomenon and there is no need to worry. However, if you yawn frequently for a long time regardless of the time and when you are not tired, it may mean that you have kidney deficiency and you should pay enough attention to it.

The kidney deficiency manifested by yawning is generally a syndrome of kidney yang deficiency. In addition to yawning and fatigue, people of this type are often accompanied by symptoms such as pale and dull complexion, cold body and limbs, poor appetite and abdominal distension, loose stools, increased nocturia (or clear and long urination). If you look at the tongue, you can also find symptoms such as pale tongue, white tongue coating, and purple lips.

2. Salty mouth: Feeling salty in the mouth for no reason.

People with kidney yin deficiency, in addition to a salty taste in the mouth, often also have symptoms such as dry throat and mouth, dizziness and tinnitus, soreness of the waist and knees, fever in the five parts of the body, insomnia and nightmares. If you look at the tongue, you will find that the tongue is red and the tongue coating is thin.

People with kidney yang deficiency, in addition to a salty taste in the mouth, often also have symptoms such as general fatigue, shortness of breath, fatigue, chills and cold limbs, cold pain in the waist and knees, weak legs, frequent urination at night, etc. If you look at the tongue, you will find that the tongue is pale and fat, and there are tooth marks on the edges of the tongue.

3. Fearfulness: The feeling of fear that occurs for no reason.

The "fear" mentioned here is different from the "shock" we usually say. Being shocked means being unaware of the event and being frightened by it happening suddenly. Fear is commonly known as timidity. You know it in advance, and it is fear. Fearfulness caused by kidney deficiency is usually accompanied by symptoms such as empty head, forgetfulness, and weakness in waist and knees. This characteristic can be used as a reference for judgment.

People with kidney yin deficiency, in addition to fear, also have symptoms such as hot hands and feet, restlessness, insomnia, nocturnal emission and night sweats. If you look at the tongue, you will find that the tongue is red and the tongue coating is less and dry. People with kidney yang deficiency are not only afraid but also have symptoms such as fear of cold, cold limbs, fatigue and weakness. If you look at their tongue, you will find that the tongue is pale and tender with white tongue coating.

4. Chills: afraid of cold.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that if the human body has sufficient yang energy, it can resist the cold, maintain normal body temperature, and not feel cold; if the human body's yang energy is weak and cannot warm the body, it will feel cold.

The human body's Yang energy is spread throughout the body and is everywhere. Every organ has Yang energy. In essence, the kidneys are the source of Yang energy. The kidney is the foundation of the human body, containing true yin and true yang, also called kidney yin and kidney yang. Kidney yin is the foundation of the human body's yin fluid, and kidney yang is the foundation of the human body's yang energy. Treatment of all types of chills involves warming and tonifying the kidney yang.

So, if you have symptoms of fear of cold, how do you determine whether it is caused by kidney yang deficiency? Fear of cold caused by kidney yang deficiency is often accompanied by symptoms such as lack of energy, soreness and coldness in the waist and knees, dark complexion, and frequent and clear urination. In addition, men may have problems with impotence, premature ejaculation, and spermatorrhea, while women may have problems with thin leucorrhea, cold uterus and infertility.

5. Sneezing: Sneezing occurs frequently and lasts for a long time.

Sneezing is a common physiological phenomenon and many people have experienced sneezing. Why do people sneeze? Traditional Chinese medicine believes there are two reasons.

One situation is acute sneezing, which often occurs when the climate suddenly turns cold, when the body gets cold, and when colds are prevalent. It often appears at the same time as cold symptoms. When the cold is cured, the sneezing will stop. Sneezing in this situation is considered positive.

Another situation is sneezing caused by kidney deficiency. The Wei Qi in the body is the main force to resist external evil. It originates from the kidneys in the lower part of the body, nourishes the spleen in the middle part, and spreads to the lungs in the upper part. If the kidney Qi in the human body is weak, the source of Wei Qi will be insufficient, and the Wei Qi that reaches the channel for the Wei Qi to be released - the lungs - will be insufficient. The lungs will not be able to release the Wei Qi normally, and sneezing will occur.

Sneezing caused by kidney deficiency is often frequent and long-lasting, accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue, soreness or pain in the waist and knees, dull complexion, fear of cold, cold hands and feet, etc. It is more common in patients with allergic rhinitis. Sneezing caused by kidney deficiency is difficult to cure simply by eliminating evil. The kidney should be nourished to strengthen the foundation, so that the kidney Qi is vigorous, the defensive Qi is sufficient, and the body's ability to resist external evil is enhanced.

There are two types of kidney deficiency associated with sneezing: kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency.

People with kidney yin deficiency, in addition to frequent sneezing that does not heal over time, also have symptoms such as itchy nose, runny nose, dry and sore throat, dizziness, tinnitus, and fever in the five parts of the body. If you look at the tongue, you will also find that the tongue is red and has less tongue coating.

People with kidney yang deficiency syndrome, in addition to frequent sneezing that does not heal over time, also have symptoms such as nasal congestion, clear nasal discharge (more severe in the morning and evening), chills, cold limbs, dull complexion, sore waist and knees, etc. If you look at the tongue, you will also find that the tongue is pale and the tongue coating is white.
