Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed some swelling in my body. I feel completely weak. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's kidney disease. I'm asking what foods I should eat to nourish my kidneys.Doctor's answer:
Six-ingredient Rehmannia Pill is a traditional Chinese medicine used to tonify the kidneys and nourish yin. It is generally used to treat conditions caused by insufficient kidney yin, but it should not be used by those with insufficient kidney yang. In your case, it is not clear whether the condition is caused by kidney yin deficiency, so it is not recommended to use Six-ingredient Rehmannia Pill on your own. It is advised to consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for a face-to-face diagnosis. Once the pattern is identified, follow the doctor's prescription for medication. It is important to arrange sexual activities reasonably and avoid overexertion. You may appropriately consume some deer horn slices for conditioning. It is recommended that patients avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, and should pay attention to rest.
