Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's kidney disease. How can women regulate their kidney deficiency?Doctor's answer:
The methods for toning and nurturing the kidneys include:1. Taking oral Chinese herbal medicine for regulation after syndrome differentiation and treatment by TCM practitioners;
2. Enduring moxibustion on acupoints such as Shenshu (BL23), Mingmen (GV4), Shenque (CV8), Guanyuan (CV4), Qihai (CV6), Zusanli (ST36), Sanyinjiao (SP6), and Yongquan (KD1) on the back, lower abdomen, and feet;
3. Paying attention to a balanced diet with regular three meals a day; eating more red and black foods (e.g., black rice, black beans, black sesame seeds, black fungus, red beans, red rice, red dates, peanuts, etc.);
4. Maintaining a positive mindset and getting sufficient deep sleep.
