How to Identify Symptoms and Treat Kidney Qi Non-Retention?
Many people experience symptoms of kidney qi not being received in daily life. When this occurs, the body exhibits symptoms such as panting, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Some individuals may also experience dyspnea, fatigue, kidney deficiency, and coughing. After kidney qi is not received, traditional Chinese medicine methods can be used for treatment. During the treatment process, attention should be paid to physical exercise to enhance one's resistance and reduce the occurrence of kidney qi not being received.
Kidney qi not being received is a term in traditional Chinese medicine, referring to the symptoms of shortness of breath, more exhalation than inhalation, and palpitations and chest tightness after slight activity. Additionally, patients with kidney qi not being received may also experience symptoms such as soreness and weakness in the lower back and knees, as well as general fatigue. This condition is mainly attributed to the belief in traditional Chinese medicine that when the kidneys are damaged and cannot receive qi, it can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath.
Formulas such as nourishing lung and kidney, and qi-regulating and asthma-relieving can be used to treat coughing and wheezing caused by kidney qi not being received. Du Qi Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine) is a modification of Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (a classic Chinese medicine formula) with the addition of Schisandra chinensis, which has the effect of nourishing kidney qi and regulating qi to relieve asthma. Other formulas based on Di Huang Wan, with the addition of Psoralea corylifolia and Plantago asiatica, also have the effect of regulating qi to relieve asthma. It is important to ensure adequate rest and sleep. Additionally, individuals should quit smoking and alcohol consumption, and develop healthy lifestyle and dietary habits.
