Many people often feel tired and fatigued in their daily lives, exhausted from work, and lacking energy even when not working, becoming breathless with slight exertion; experiencing sore and swollen eyes; and suffering from sore, weak, and limp lower backs. What is even more troubling is that their mental energy is diminishing. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this is mostly due to insufficient kidney essence.
Traditional Chinese medicine often says that "the kidney stores essence," and kidney essence is the "source of energy" for our body. Kidney essence can transform into kidney qi, which is further divided into yin and yang, nourishing all the organs and meridians throughout our body.Once kidney essence is insufficient, it is equivalent to the body's "energy reserve" being depleted, and naturally, the whole person will feel listless, fatigued, and various discomforts will arise. Especially nowadays, with people staying up late, experiencing high stress, and overexerting themselves, kidney essence is easily depleted. At this point, timely kidney tonification and essence replenishment become particularly crucial.
Today, I'm sharing a practical little formula with everyone. It uses only two common medicinal herbs to tonify the kidneys and replenish essence. It is—Lycium barbarum with Polygonatum sibiricumTwo herbs are combined. Among them,Lycium barbarum can nourish the yin of the liver and kidney, and also improve vision and brighten the eyes；Huangjing not only tonifies the kidney and replenishes essence but also strengthens the spleen and boosts qi helping the body transport and transform nutrientsNourish kidney essence from the root to avoid supplementation without absorption.
However, it must be reminded that the use of traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment. Each person's constitution is different, and the complexity of syndrome types varies. It is crucial not to use it on your own. It must be used under the guidance of a professional physician with syndrome differentiation to ensure both safety and effectiveness.
