4. Pay attention to both yin and yang
Regarding the treatment of kidney yin deficiency, we should also pay attention to the problem of the opposition and mutual roots of yin and yang. Generally speaking, kidney deficiency includes kidney yin deficiency, kidney yang deficiency and yin and yang deficiency. Kidney yin deficiency belongs to material consumption, and kidney yang and kidney qi are functional. If you consume a lot of substances (kidney yin and kidney essence), such as frequent sexual life, or because of excessive labor (including mental and physical strength), or your body is weak when you are born, and your material foundation is damaged or your body is relatively lacking, you are prone to symptoms of kidney yin deficiency, such as waist and knees weakness, limb weakness, dizziness, tinnitus, hair loss, loose teeth, memory loss, premature aging, decreased sexual desire, nocturnal emission, premature ejaculation and so on. Deficiency heat is also easy to occur due to kidney yin deficiency, and internal heat is generated due to yin deficiency without controlling yang, so it is easy to have five upset heat and night sweats.
Generally, kidney yin deficiency mostly occurs in young and middle-aged people. Because young and middle-aged people have a large amount of activities, they have a lot of material consumption in both study and exercise. In the aspect of sexual function, kidney-yin deficiency shows that sexual desire is not low, but ejaculation is fast (premature ejaculation), accompanied by nocturnal emission. However, people with kidney-yang deficiency have more impotence, and they are afraid of cold, cold hands and feet, long urine and thin stool, which are more common in middle-aged and elderly people. The same symptoms of kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency include backache and weakness of limbs.
Because the yin and yang of kidney are Yuan Yin and Yuan Yang, they often interact with each other in the process of pathological changes. When kidney yin deficiency develops to a certain extent, it can involve kidney yang and develop into deficiency of both yin and yang, which is called "yin damage and yang"; When kidney-yang deficiency reaches a certain degree, it can also involve kidney-yin and develop into deficiency of both yin and yang, which is called "Yang damage and yin". Therefore, "those who are good at nourishing yin must seek yin from yang". Therefore, the method of nourishing yin should not simply use yin drugs, but should be supplemented with products that warm yang. On the one hand, it can make it not stagnate, but not greasy, and on the other hand, it is intended to inspire the qi that grows in the kidney to help the biochemical force, which is more important for people with yin deficiency and chronic illness. Otherwise, the yin will be unable to be transformed without yang.
