This is a tongue image sent by a 33-year-old male fan backstage. Recently, there was a problem of soreness in the waist and knees, and a lot of nocturia, thinking that it was kidney deficiency, so I made my own decisions and bought Liuwei Dihuang pills to eat, but the result was not only ineffective, but there was a lot of phlegm in my throat and uncomfortable body.
Below, let's take a look at his tongue.
At first glance, it is a toothed tongue, and the tongue is huge. It indicates that there is phlegm and dampness in the body.
In addition, there are obvious cracks in the tongue and the color of the tongue is light, which is caused by spleen and yang deficiency that the phlegm and dampness cannot be transported.
Finally, let's take a look at the root of the tongue, the moss is thicker and greasy, and the color is red, indicating that the kidney yang has been deficient for a long time, and the phlegm and dampness have slightly turned into heat.
So it can be concluded that he belongs to the spleen and kidney yang deficiency, and there is phlegm and dampness in his body.
Common symptoms include: chills, warmth in the limbs, poor appetite, indigestion, easy abdominal distention, diarrhea, soreness in the waist and knees, unformed stools, increased nocturia and other symptoms.
There are two reasons why Liuwei Dihuang Pill has no effect after taking it, but aggravates the condition:
First, the medicine is not right, and the six flavors are the classic prescriptions for tonifying yin.
The second is that he is already spleen deficiency, and then using the greasy tonic of Liuwei will only aggravate phlegm and dampness, which is counterproductive.
Therefore, when there is such a symptom of yang deficiency and phlegm dampness, the correct conditioning method of traditional Chinese medicine is actually to first strengthen the spleen and dissolve phlegm, and then replenish the yang qi of the spleen and kidney.
In clinical practice, Erchen decoction is often combined with aconite Li Zhong decoction to add or subtract.
