Men with gray hair here indicate kidney deficiency

Kidney health is what men value most. Men often use all kinds of methods to protect kidney health, but how do you know if your kidneys are weak? Traditional Chinese medicine suggests that sometimes gray hair may also indicate kidney deficiency. In addition, understanding the six major symptoms of kidney deficiency can allow you to self-test your kidney health.

Symptom 1: Chills and cold limbs

"Fear of cold" refers to the feeling of being afraid of cold and wind. "Cold limbs" refers to the symptom of cold limbs and feet, even cold elbows and knees. "Fear of cold and cold limbs" are often accompanied by kidney deficiency symptoms such as sore waist and knees, fatigue, laziness, dry mouth and no thirst.

Symptom 2: Backache, leg pain, frequent urination and urgent urination

Sitting in a car for a long time with a stiff body, coupled with the mental tension of driving, will eventually cause qi stagnation and blood stasis and eventually lead to kidney deficiency.

Symptom 3: Excessive sexual intercourse

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidneys store essence. Kidney essence generates kidney yin and kidney yang, which nourish and warm the internal organs. Kidney yin and kidney yang are interdependent and mutually restrained in the human body to maintain the physiological balance of the human body. If this balance is destroyed or one side declines, disease will occur, and men will suffer from impotence, premature ejaculation, spermatorrhea, semen disease and other symptoms.

Symptom 4: Low back pain

The root cause of low back pain is kidney deficiency, which can be divided into internal injury and fatigue. Internal injury kidney deficiency generally refers to congenital deficiency, long-term illness or excessive fatigue. Mild cases make it difficult to bend or stand upright, while severe cases may cause heel pain, waist weakness and other symptoms. Fatigue 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.

Symptom 5: Dizziness, weakness, insomnia and frequent dreams

As one of the important organs in the human body, the kidney nourishes and warms other organs. If other organs are ill for a long time, the kidney will be easily damaged. Many chronic diseases such as chronic hepatitis, coronary heart disease, bronchial asthma, hypertension, etc. are often accompanied by kidney deficiency symptoms.

Symptom 6: Asthma

The kidneys have the function of "receiving air". When the kidneys are weak and cannot receive air, it will cause wheezing and shortness of breath, more exhalation than inhalation, making it difficult for you to breathe freely. In severe cases, asthma may also be accompanied by symptoms such as worsening wheezing and cold sweats.
