How to judge kidney yin deficiency and yang deficiency? The most correct method is here

The kidneys are located on both sides of the spine at the waist of the human body, one on each side, but the kidney on the right side is slightly lower. Chinese medicine believes that the kidneys are the source of human life, so they are also called "the innate foundation." It can be seen that the kidneys are very important to everyone. So the question is, how to judge whether you have kidney yang deficiency or kidney yin deficiency?

1. Fear: The feeling of fear that occurs for no apparent reason.

Fear is commonly known as timidity, that is, you know it in advance, that is, you are afraid. Fear caused by kidney deficiency is generally accompanied by symptoms such as empty head, forgetfulness, and weakness in waist and knees. This feature can be used as a reference for judgment. People with kidney yin deficiency are accompanied by symptoms such as hot hands and feet, restlessness and insomnia, spermatorrhea and sweating when they are afraid. If you look at the tongue, you will find that the tongue is red and the tongue coating is less and dry. People with kidney yang deficiency are accompanied by symptoms such as fear, cold limbs, fatigue, etc. If you look at the tongue, you will find that the tongue is pale and tender, and the tongue coating is white.

2. Chills: afraid of cold.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that if the human body has sufficient yang energy, it can resist the cold, maintain a normal body temperature, and will not feel cold; if the human body's yang energy is weak and cannot warm the body, it will feel cold.

Chills caused by deficiency of kidney yang are often accompanied by symptoms such as lack of energy, soreness and coldness in the waist and knees, and dark complexion. In addition, men may have problems with impotence, premature ejaculation, and spermatorrhea.

3. Sneezing: Sneezing occurs frequently and for a long time.

Sneezing is a common physiological phenomenon. Chinese medicine believes that there are two types of sneezing: one is acute sneezing, which often occurs when the weather suddenly turns cold, when the body is cold, and when the cold is prevalent, and often appears at the same time as cold symptoms; the other is sneezing caused by kidney qi deficiency. Sneezing caused by kidney qi deficiency is often frequent and long-lasting, accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue, soreness or pain in the waist and knees, dull complexion, fear of cold, and cold hands and feet. It is more common in patients with allergic rhinitis.
