How to deal with kidney deficiency and liver fire excess causing thirst

Patient's question:

Kidney deficiency, yin and yang deficiency, spleen and stomach cold, liver fire excess, dry mouth, the more you drink, the more thirsty you become

Doctor's answer:

Currently, the main issue is a deficiency of both the Yin and Yang of the kidneys, a cold deficiency of the spleen and stomach, and an overactive liver fire. This can lead to increased dryness in the mouth with more drinking, frequent irritability, and stomach discomfort. It is recommended to take Chinese herbal medicine to clear liver fire, strengthen the spleen, warm Yang, and dispel cold. After the spleen and stomach functions improve, then use herbal medicine to tonify the kidneys. Medication can be taken for treatment, which tends to be relatively more effective. It is important to control emotions, avoid irritability, and drink more water.
