What Chinese medicine is good for women to nourish their kidneys?

Don’t think that kidney deficiency is only a man’s problem and has nothing to do with women. In fact, it is not like that. Many female friends still have big problems with their kidneys. Traditional Chinese medicine generally focuses more on regulating the body, and can be better than Western medicine in tonifying the kidneys. So, here I would like to introduce to you some traditional Chinese medicines that can nourish the kidneys for women, hoping it can help you.

Symptoms of kidney deficiency in women: 1. Insufficient kidney qi, unable to moisturize the skin, butterfly-shaped pale yellow, yellowish brown or light black patches often appear on the cheekbones with clear boundaries, and are often accompanied by irregular menstruation. Some women will experience excessive or insufficient menstruation, low libido, vaginal dryness, and even premature menopause.

2. In traditional Chinese medicine theory, black represents the kidneys, and dark circles under the eyes indicate kidney deficiency. Not only kidney deficiency, but many other organic diseases will affect the normal functioning of the kidneys over time. Physical weakness will lead to fatigue, which will slowly form dark circles, and crow's feet and bags under the eyes will gradually appear.

3. The menstrual cycle must be normal only when the Chong and Ren meridians function normally, so insufficient kidney qi is an important cause of irregular menstruation. Those caused by kidney yin deficiency are often accompanied by symptoms such as light menstruation, dizziness, physical weakness, fatigue, weak waist and legs, dull pain in the waist after fatigue, and bloating and pain in the lower abdomen.

4. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is the source of water. Kidney deficiency can lead to an unbalanced distribution of water in the body, so kidney deficiency can cause dry mouth and lips. It is often accompanied by symptoms such as increased blood sugar. Kidney yin deficiency is more likely to cause osteoporosis, which is especially common in middle-aged and elderly women after menopause.

5. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that kidney deficiency is mostly caused by malnutrition of the liver and kidneys, which manifests as insomnia, forgetfulness, irritability, loose skin, premature facial wrinkles, premature graying of hair, and hair loss.

6. Kidney Yin deficiency can lead to endocrine disorders. When estrogen secretion weakens, women will not only have loose skin and premature aging, but also lose their body curves, and have sagging breasts due to premature mammary gland atrophy. The speaking voice becomes deeper and the accent sounds old.
