      Animal kidneys: Eating animal kidneys has the effect of nourishing the kidneys and replenishing essence. It is a concrete embodiment of the theory of "nourishing the internal organs with the internal organs" of traditional Chinese medicine. Because it is rich in protein, fat, multivitamins and some rare trace elements, it is both nourishing and strong. Sea cucumber: can nourish kidney and essence, nourish yin and strengthen yang. Rich in trace elements such as iodine and zinc. Can participate in regulating metabolism and lowering blood lipids. The mucin and other polysaccharides contained in it have the functions of lowering lipids and anticoagulation, promoting hematopoietic function, delaying aging, nourishing the skin, and repairing tissues.

      Shrimp: Skillful in nourishing the kidneys, strengthening the yang, and detoxifying the breasts. Rich in protein, lipids, minerals, vitamins, especially calcium and phosphorus, it is a good bone-strengthening product. The extract of shrimp meat also contains immune-enhancing substances. Gorgon fruit: It has the functions of nourishing the kidneys and strengthening the essence, nourishing the spleen and removing dampness. Contains starch, vitamins and minerals. It can be cooked with wolfberry as porridge. In addition, animal meat, egg , bone marrow, black sesame, cherry, mulberry, yam, etc. also have varying degrees of kidney-tonifying effects. The knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine in nourishing the kidneys is actually very particular.

      Here are some basic common sense . For example, to test whether you have kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency, you can simply distinguish whether you are afraid of cold or heat. People with yin deficiency often have red faces and five upset stomachs; people with yang deficiency are afraid of cold, have cold limbs, and look pale. For another example, most of the yang-tonifying medicines are hot herbs, such as aconite, cinnamon, velvet antler, epimedium, Cocktail root, Morinda officinalis, etc.; the yin-tonifying medicines are mostly sweet and cold medicines, mainly including dendrobium, polygonatum odorifera, dogwood, wolfberry, ligustrum, loranth, American ginseng, etc. The representative Chinese patent medicine for tonifying yin is Liuwei Dihuang Wan, and the representative Chinese patent medicine for tonifying yang is Jingui Shenqi Wan. At the same time, since Chinese medicine also pays attention to the "mutual root of yin and yang", the treatment must also be "those who are good at tonifying yin should seek yin from yang; those who are good at replenishing yang should seek yang from yin."
