Clinically, I have encountered many patients with kidney deficiency, but they can't figure out what type of kidney deficiency they have. Today, I will teach you how to judge quickly through three tongue elephants.
First of all, the tongue image of kidney yang deficiency
The whole tongue seems to be white and greasy, like a thick layer of snow, and the tongue surface is slippery and the tongue is fat. This is due to the lack of yang qi in the kidneys, and the unfavorable metabolism of water and fluid, resulting in heavy dampness in the body, and the tongue surface of the damp evil will be thick, whitish, and slippery. Therefore, the biggest feature of patients with kidney yang deficiency in their daily life is that they are afraid of cold, their hands and feet are cold, and their feet are not warm when they get up every morning, and they are inseparable from air conditioning in winter.
In addition, due to the lack of kidney yang, the inability to transpirate and vaporize water, it is easy to have frequent urination, urgency, and nocturia, and even impotence and premature ejaculation. For patients with kidney yang deficiency, conditioning can refer to the addition and subtraction of Jinkui Kidney Qi Decoction to supplement kidney yang.
Secondly, the tongue image of kidney yin deficiency
The tongue with kidney yin deficiency looks red in color and has very little tongue coating. This is because the yin fluid in the kidneys is insufficient, and the yin does not control the yang, resulting in excessive yang energy, internal deficiency fire, and inflammation of the deficiency fire, which constantly burns the fluid in the body, so the tongue will not only be red, but also less or no lichen.
People with kidney yin deficiency feel hot all over the body, hot hands and feet, soreness in the waist and knees, insomnia and dreams, and easy to sweat when sleeping at night. Due to the upward disturbance of the mind by the false fire, male friends will still have a lot of thoughts in that regard, but because the essence is not solid, they often do things hastily. For this type of kidney deficiency, you can refer to the addition and subtraction of Zhibai Dihuang decoction to nourish yin and nourish the kidney.
Finally, the tongue of kidney essence deficiency
The tongue is cracked, finely crumbled and complex, and there is no tongue coating, just like the dry and cracked land without moisture. This is due to the lack of moderation in life, always staying up late, high work pressure, and excessive room work, resulting in excessive consumption of kidney essence, and the tongue is not nourished, and there will be many cracks.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, the kidney is the innate foundation, and the kidney essence stores the essence of the human body, which is in charge of reproduction and development. Therefore, when there is a deficiency of kidney essence, people are prone to soreness in the waist and knees, insomnia and forgetfulness, loose teeth, premature gray hair, and even sperm loss. In terms of conditioning, the Wuzi Yanzong soup that invigorates the kidney qi and replenishes the kidney and fills the essence is added or subtracted.
