Today I read a sentence in the Jingyue Quanshu which goes like this: "Those skilled in supplementing yang must seek yang within yin, so that yang obtains the assistance of yin and generates endlessly; those skilled in supplementing yin must seek yin within yang, so that yin obtains the ascent of yang and the source never runs dry." I think it is very well said.
The aging of a person is not only manifested inWrinkles, age spots, and white hairmore importantlyDecrease in energy and physical strengthFinally, symptoms of deficiency in both the spleen and kidney appear.
Deficiency of both the spleen and kidney is often clinically manifested assoreness and weakness of the waist and knees, cold lower limbsEasy to get up in the morningdiarrhea, aversion to cold, indigestionevenEat what and excrete what, frequent urination at night, prone to edema, white hair growth, dull complexionand other symptoms.

Here is a case of health regulation to share with everyone
Last month, there was a 45-year-old patient who had been suffering for yearsSoreness and weakness in the waist and knees, indigestion regardless of diet, morning diarrhea, cold hands and feet in winter that cannot be warmed, and nocturia requiring 3-4 trips to the bathroom per night.I had him take a combination of Ginseng Spleen-Invigorating Pills and Golden Cabinet Kidney Qi Pills with modifications for regulation, instructing him to take them after meals and avoid raw, cold, and greasy foods. After persisting for one month and returning for a follow-up, the patient saidThe issue of morning diarrhea has improved, nighttime urination has reduced to once per night, hands and feet have become warmer, and overall energy levels have significantly increased.
Finally, it is important to remind everyone not to consume it during a cold or fever. At this time, there is external pathogenic influence in the body, and supplementing will trap the pathogen inside, worsening the condition.
