Kidney Yang Deficiency is a term in traditional Chinese medicine. It refers to a type of deficiency-cold syndrome manifested by kidney Yang deficiency, loss of warmth, and loss of Qi transformation. It is mostly caused by factors such as yang deficiency in the body, kidney deficiency due to old age, long-term illness that damages the kidney, and excessive sexual intercourse.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney governs water, and kidney yang has a gasification and evaporation effect on water. If kidney yang is insufficient and the evaporation and gasification are weak, then there will be symptoms such as long and clear urine. Therefore, kidney yang deficiency syndrome has pathological changes in the kidney. Kidney deficiency is mostly a long-term accumulation of diseases. Do not rush to achieve results and use strong tonic drugs to supplement, or use kidney-tonifying and yang-strengthening drugs with unknown ingredients, but should slowly adjust. Kidney yang is also called Yuanyang, Zhenyang, and Zhenhuo. It is the root of the twelve meridians and the innate foundation lies in the kidney. The kidney and the gate of life are originally the same qi, and they are the hub of the rise and fall of yin and yang in the human body. Kidney yang governs the yang qi of the whole body. If the fire is weak, the symptoms of yang deficiency will appear.
