Many people have taken too many detours on the path to nourishing the kidneys! For example, spending a lot of money on various kidney-nourishing prescriptions and dietary remedies, making soups and taking supplements every day, investing considerable money and effort, yet the results are always unsatisfactory — the expected improvement in soreness and weakness of the waist and knees hasn't occurred, energy levels remain low, and there's no sign of improvement in that aspect. Some people even find their constitution growing weaker. In fact, the problem isn't with the tonics at all; it's that you've all overlooked a crucial step —tonify heart yang！
In traditional Chinese medicine, it is said that "the heart and kidney interact," indicating that the relationship between the heart and kidney is so close that they are interdependent and mutually influential.Heart Yang is like the "power source" of the body's Yang Qi, not only responsible for promoting and maintaining the circulation of Qi, blood, and Yang Qi throughout the body, but also serving as the "key" to stimulate Kidney Yang.
而For kidney yang to properly warm the body and nourish the organs, it must rely on the guidance and stimulation of heart yangIf the heart yang is insufficient, even if you use many kidney-tonifying herbs, the replenished yang qi cannot truly reach the kidneys through the meridians to be absorbed and utilized. In the end, it will either be ineffective or accumulate and transform into fire.
In such cases, I would refer to the following during the conditioning processRamulus Cinnamomi Radix Glycyrrhizae Os Draconis Concha Ostreae DecoctionSpecifically forInsufficient Heart Yang, Ineffective Kidney TonificationThis situation.
In the prescription,Ramulus CinnamomiPungent, sweet, warm, and unblocking,It can directly warm and unblock the heart yang, opening the channel for the movement of yang qiproviding the body with warm energy;honey-fried licorice rootSweet and warm to replenish qiIt can both assist Guizhi in strengthening heart yang and harmonize the medicinal properties while nourishing the spleen and stomachproviding stable support for the recovery of heart yang. The combination of these two herbs can quickly and gently strengthen heart yang without being drying or harsh.
Additionally addedDragon Bone and Oyster Shellnot onlyIt can calm the mind and secure retention, and also prevent the supplemented heart yang from excessive dissipationBecause many people always "supplement while leaking" when tonifying yang, it is because the yang qi is not firmly retained. Longgu and Muli can firmly hold onto the supplemented yang qi, allowing the medicinal effects to continue to take effect.
This prescriptionIt does not directly tonify the kidneys, but rather starts from the heart yang, indirectly regulating kidney yang by warming and strengthening the heart yang.With sufficient heart yang, the circulation of yang qi throughout the body gains momentum, allowing qi and blood to smoothly distribute to all parts of the body, and the kidneys naturally receive ample warmth and nourishment.
Finally, each person's constitution and severity of symptoms differ, so the dosage and combination of formulas need to be flexibly adjusted. Whenever medication is involved, it must be chosen under the guidance of a professional physician. Do not blindly copy or take it without authorization!
