The kidneys are the "fundamentals of acquired nature" because the kidneys are the lowest among all the internal organs. They belong to the water organ and store essence. They are the foundation of human beings and the root of life.

The kidney stores essence and transforms it into qi. Kidney qi is the source of vitality and the driving force of life activities. It plays important roles in promoting human growth and development, promoting human reproductive function, and defending against the invasion of external evils.

Moreover, the five internal organs grow, help, bully, and influence each other, so the functions of other internal organs directly or indirectly affect the kidneys. Therefore, to prevent kidney deficiency, we must start with regulating the internal organs.

The heart and kidneys intersect to balance the inner person. Heart fire and kidney water rise and fall with each other, coordinate with each other, communicate with each other, and maintain dynamic balance.

If there is an imbalance, that is, a disharmony between the heart and the kidneys, people will easily fall ill. Therefore, when we nourish the kidneys, we must pay attention to balancing the physiological relationship between the heart and the kidneys, and achieve the intersection of the heart and the kidneys to nourish the kidneys.

In life, we often experience symptoms of "heat". Although there are many reasons for "heat", there are some symptoms that may prompt you that there is a problem with the balance relationship between your heart and kidneys.

In clinical Chinese medicine, there is the term "heart-kidney intersection", which means that under normal circumstances, heart fire and kidney water rise and fall with each other, coordinate, communicate with each other, and maintain dynamic balance.

The heart is on the upper burner and belongs to fire; the kidneys are on the lower burner and belongs to water. The heart fire must descend to the kidneys to keep the kidney water from being cold, and the kidney water must rise up to inflame the heart to keep the heart fire from being overactive. This is called the "interaction of heart and kidneys", or the "harmony of water and fire".

If the physiological coordination between the heart and the kidneys is abnormal, there will be a pathology in which the physiological relationship between the heart yang and the kidney yin is abnormal, that is, "the heart and the kidneys are not in harmony". This is mostly caused by the deficiency of the kidney yin and the inability of the yin essence to ascend. , so the heart fire is too high, which is caused by the decline.

The symptoms include upset and insomnia, palpitations, dizziness, tinnitus, forgetfulness, five upset stomachs, dry throat and mouth, soreness and weakness in the waist and knees, red tongue, thready pulse, etc. It is more common in patients with neurosis and chronic weakness.

Understanding the physiological and pathological relationship between the heart and kidneys, we can know how important it is to nourish the heart and the kidneys. The best way to ensure the intersection of the heart and the kidneys is to ensure that the physiology of the heart and kidneys is normal. The upper and lower intersect and the relationship is balanced.

So how to treat the kidneys from the heart and ensure the intersection of heart and kidneys?

Pay attention to the following aspects:

First, eliminate the cause.

We know that chronic illness, too much thinking, depression, and sexual indiscretion are important causes of heart-kidney disharmony.

Long-term illness damages yin, excessive thinking, emotional stagnation and fire, exogenous fever, excessive heart fire, etc. are important reasons for destroying the balance of the heart and kidneys.

Therefore, when preventing and treating kidney deficiency and ensuring a balanced relationship between the heart and kidneys, it is important to eliminate the above causes.

Secondly, it nourishes yin and reduces fire, and communicates with the heart and kidneys.

There are many methods, including prescriptions, dietary therapy, and meridian points.

Here, we provide you with several simple methods.

Meridian acupoint therapy:

Rub the Laogong point on the palms of both hands to heat it, place the palms on top of each other on the Guanyuan point, and use the principle of "drawing fire back to the origin" to reduce the heart fire. , Kidney water rises, water and fire are both harmonious, and the heart and kidneys intersect.

This method can be done in the morning and evening when you get up and when you fall asleep, for 10 minutes each time. Rub your hands when they are cold, and then stack them.

From the above content, we know that the intersection of heart and kidney is a relationship that ensures health. When nourishing the kidneys, we must pay attention to adjusting the balanced relationship between the heart and kidneys.

In addition, it needs to be reminded that from the pathogenesis of heart-kidney disharmony, it is mostly caused by heart fire being strong at the top, kidney yin being deficient at the bottom, and water-fire disharmony.

However, from clinical analysis, there are still "excessive heart fire and kidney yang deficiency", "heart qi deficiency and kidney yang deficiency", "heart qi deficiency and kidney yin deficiency", etc.

For its treatment, "heart fire is strong and kidney yang is deficient", you can purge heart fire and help kidney yang; for "heart qi deficiency and kidney yang deficiency", you can use nourishing heart qi and nourish kidney yang; for "heart qi deficiency and kidney yang deficiency" "Mingxu" is used to nourish heart qi and nourish kidney yin.

Prevention and treatment methods need to be carried out according to the doctor's advice.

Write at the end:

For heart and kidney disharmony, you can choose Liuwei Dihuang Pills, Sanhuang Tablets and other patent medicines for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. But there is no need to use more medicine to relieve heart-fire to prevent excessive bitter cold from damaging yin.
