What are the symptoms of kidney cold

Everyone will catch a cold after catching a cold, but few people know that the kidneys can also catch a cold. Especially when the kidneys are exposed to cold, the invasion of cold air is often accompanied by joint pain, poor reproductive system function, and even urinary diseases. In particular, many people usually wear relatively thin clothes, which is very harmful to the body. In severe cases, it can cause chronic diarrhea.

How terrible are the consequences of kidney cold?

According to traditional Chinese medicine, catching a cold in the kidney is actually a popular saying that the kidney meridian is affected by cold and the cold evil enters the kidney. When we show the following symptoms, it means that the kidneys have been trapped by the cold evil.

1. Bone and joint pain.

This is a very common symptom in winter. The kidneys are responsible for bone and marrow production. When the cold evil invades the kidney meridian, it will affect the nutrition supply and function of the bones, causing bone pain and osteoporosis. Among them, since the kidney belongs to water and its nature is yin and cold, the bone pain caused by kidney cold is mainly in the lower limbs.

2. Poor reproductive function and a host of urinary system diseases.

In addition to being responsible for bone and marrow production, the kidneys are also closely related to the human reproductive and urinary system. When kidney cold is severe, men are prone to erectile dysfunction, spermatorrhea and premature ejaculation, while women are prone to uterine cold infertility, low libido, abnormal leucorrhea and menstrual disorders. In addition, frequent urination is a common manifestation of kidney cold for both men and women.

3. Timid and often frightened.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the kidney is responsible for fear. In other words, when the kidney qi is insufficient and the kidney meridian is exposed to cold, we tend to be timid, lack courage and be overly cautious. Some people are easily frightened and have poorer adaptability to changes in their environment.

4. Long-term chronic diarrhea.

Cold kidneys cannot warm the middle burner, just like insufficient heat when cooking rice, and cannot support the spleen and stomach in digesting and absorbing food. As a result, people are particularly prone to long-term, chronic diarrhea, among which diarrhea in the early morning hours is the most common. Another characteristic of this type of diarrhea is that the food excreted is no different from the food eaten. This is what is called undigested grain.

5. Long-term insomnia.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that insomnia is directly related to the inability of heart fire to balance itself. The heart fire needs to be checked and balanced by the kidney water so that it does not become inflamed and cause insomnia. However, when kidney cold is severe, kidney water cannot help heart fire, making it difficult to control heart fire, which will further affect sleep.

6. Edema type obesity.

Edema-type obesity refers to the phenomenon of flabby obesity all over the body, including the limbs, which looks like edema. Such people often feel weak and have low immunity. This is because the kidney water cannot warm the middle burner, resulting in the inability to transport and transform water.

In short, kidney cold is something that cannot be ignored. How to improve the condition of kidney cold? The following methods can help us.

Black sesame, walnut and yam soup - prepare 10 grams each of black sesame and walnut kernels, 20 grams of yam, and appropriate amount of salt. After frying the black sesame seeds, wash the walnut kernels. Wash, peel and cut the yam into pieces. Put walnut kernels and yam into a casserole, add appropriate amount of water, bring to a boil over high heat and then simmer over low heat for 40 minutes, add salt to taste and sprinkle with black sesame seeds. The black sesame seeds and walnuts in this recipe are both good at nourishing the kidneys and warming the body.

Longan and chestnut porridge - 20 grams each of corn, longan and chestnut, 50 grams of millet, and appropriate amount of brown sugar. Wash the corn, chestnuts and millet separately, and remove the longan flesh. Put the pot on the fire, add corn, chestnuts, longan, millet and appropriate amount of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and cook into porridge. When the porridge is cooked, add brown sugar and stir well. The chestnuts in this recipe are mild in nature and can warm the spleen and kidneys, while the longan can dispel cold and warm the kidneys. The two work together to produce a good effect.
