Symptoms of spleen and kidney deficiency in women

Our body is a whole, which is composed of many organs. Each organ cooperates with each other to operate our body. When some organs have problems, our body will also show some symptoms to remind us; for example, some people often feel weak and sweat a lot. This is most likely a problem with the kidneys. At this time, we must regulate our kidneys in time. Let’s take a closer look at the symptoms of spleen and kidney deficiency in women.

Symptoms of kidney deficiency in women:

1. Hair loss is one of the symptoms of insufficient kidney qi in women

According to TCM theory, "hair is the flower of the kidneys, and the color of hair can reflect the kidney qi." If the kidney qi is insufficient or if you think too much, your hair will be affected. Normally, people will grow gray hair after the age of 40. This is because as we age, the kidney's essence gradually declines and cannot nourish our hair, so it turns gray. This is a natural phenomenon and does not require treatment. However, if your hair suddenly turns white within a period of time, it is mostly caused by a disorder of the body's qi, and treatment should be taken according to the cause.

2. Low back pain is one of the symptoms of insufficient kidney qi in women

The root cause of low back pain is kidney deficiency, which can be divided into internal injury and strain. Internal injury of kidney deficiency generally refers to that caused by congenital deficiency, long-term illness or excessive fatigue. In mild cases, it is difficult to bend or stand upright, while in severe cases, heel pain, waist weakness and other symptoms may occur. Strain refers to excessive physical burden, or long-term work in the same fixed posture (using a computer, driving, etc.), which will damage the kidney qi over time and lead to insufficient kidney essence. The waist is the "palace" of the kidneys. When the kidney essence is insufficient, the palace will not be adequately nourished and symptoms such as lower back pain will appear. You must take this seriously.

3. Dizziness and tinnitus are symptoms of insufficient kidney qi in women

In traditional Chinese medicine theory, the five senses of eyes, tongue, mouth, nose and ears correspond to the five internal organs of liver, heart, spleen, lungs and kidneys. The auditory function of the ears is closely related to the strength and weakness of kidney qi. If the kidneys are healthy, the hearing will be good. On the contrary, when symptoms such as tinnitus, restlessness, and hearing loss occur, kidney yin deficiency should be considered. Many people have experienced the feeling of dizziness. The feeling of blurred vision, spinning head, nausea and vomiting is not pleasant. Dizziness patients are often accompanied by tinnitus, which impairs hearing and may even lead to deafness if it continues for a long time. The causes of dizziness and tinnitus are mostly related to the liver and kidneys. Traditional Chinese medicine says that "the kidneys store essence and produce marrow, and the marrow gathers to form the brain", so kidney deficiency can lead to insufficient marrow, malnutrition of the brain, and symptoms such as dizziness and tinnitus.

Reasons for insufficient kidney qi in women:

Qi deficiency is mostly caused by congenital deficiency, or malnutrition, or depletion due to overwork, or long-term illness, or decreased function of organs such as the lungs, spleen, and kidneys, and insufficient Qi production. Comparing the causes, symptoms and pulse of modern medicine, Qi deficiency is very similar to the modern medical concept of "sub-health".

The fundamental cause of sub-health is insufficient yin and yang, qi and blood, and poor function of the five internal organs, which is also consistent with insufficient vital energy and qi deficiency. Qi is the most basic substance that constitutes the human body and maintains human life activities, and belongs to the category of human essence. Therefore, from the source of Qi, the Qi that constitutes the human body and maintains human life activities mainly includes two aspects: innate essence and acquired essence. From the perspective of the relationship between the generation of qi and the internal organs, all five internal organs store essence and qi, with the lungs, spleen, and kidneys being particularly important.

Qi deficiency refers to a pathological state in which the functions of internal organs decline and the ability to resist disease is low, which will produce a series of clinical symptoms. However, because Qi is stored in the five internal organs, Qi deficiency is usually related to the function of that organ. The Suwen Fang Shengshuai Lun describes different dream situations caused by lung Qi deficiency, kidney Qi deficiency, spleen Qi deficiency, heart Qi deficiency, and liver Qi deficiency. Therefore, the pathological concept of Qi deficiency should include Qi deficiency of the five internal organs.

What should women eat if they have insufficient kidney qi?

Black beans are used for renal deficiency, scanty menstruation, and proteinuria in chronic kidney disease. Pork kidney stewed with black beans and walnuts: 50 grams of black beans, 30 grams of walnut kernels, 1 pork kidney, stew for 2 hours, season with low salt. Wolfberry, for the symptoms of weakness, low back and leg pain, sore feet and knees, dizziness and tinnitus caused by kidney yin deficiency, the simplest way to eat wolfberry is to soak it in water.

Take 20-30 grams of wolfberry, brew it with boiling water, cover it and simmer it for 10-20 minutes before drinking it. After soaking it two or three times, eat the wolfberry. Chewing wolfberries directly is more conducive to the absorption of nutrients. People with kidney yang deficiency show symptoms of mental depression, cold limbs, pain in the waist and knees, night sweats, etc. It is suitable for them to drink wolfberry wine. Take 200 grams of wolfberry and 1 kilogram of white wine, wash and dry the wolfberry and soak it in the wine. Seal it for 14 days and start drinking it, 10 ml each time, twice a day.

Polygonum multiflorum nourishes the liver and kidneys, improves essence and blood, and is used for menopausal symptoms of yin deficiency and excessive fire, dizziness, restlessness, insomnia, and irritability. It can also be used for chronic renal failure. Polygonum multiflorum liver slices: 50 grams of Polygonum multiflorum, boil and extract the juice, 100 grams of pork liver, slice and stir-fry, add Polygonum multiflorum juice. These should be the first choice for those with insufficient kidney qi. Each formula has its own efficacy. Even if the diseases they treat are similar, they are not the same. Each one has its main focus, so you should choose the one that suits you and then take it, only then will it have the desired health care effect.
