Behind Fatigue, Liver And Kidney Deficiency Is Playing Tricks
Jul 11, 2025
Elderly people are prone to fatigue, which cannot be ignored!
In the early morning park, some elderly people leisurely practice Tai Chi, while others sit on benches basking in the sun. But have you noticed that some elderly people are panting and exhausted after not exercising for a while? In daily life, many elderly people help their children take care of them. Just playing with them is exhausting, and they can't even muster the energy to chat or play chess with old friends.
Fatigue has a significant impact on the lives of elderly people. I used to enjoy activities such as walking and traveling, but due to fatigue, I had to give up. When spending time with family, I don't have the energy to enjoy the joy of family. Moreover, this is not just about poor rest. Long-term fatigue may be a distress signal from the body, indicating some health risks. In traditional Chinese medicine theory, fatigue is closely related to liver and kidney deficiency. What is the reason for this?
Behind fatigue, liver and kidney deficiency are playing a trick.s
Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that the liver stores blood, the kidneys store essence, and the liver and kidneys are of the same origin, nourishing and coordinating with each other. As people age, they are like machines that have been running for many years, and the physiological functions of the liver and kidneys gradually decline, making it easy to experience liver and kidney deficiency. Insufficient liver blood can prevent sufficient nourishment of the muscles and meridians, leading to limb weakness; Kidney essence deficiency cannot provide sufficient energy for the body, making it easy for people to feel tired.

The fatigue caused by liver and kidney deficiency is different from ordinary fatigue. Ordinary fatigue can be relieved through rest, while fatigue caused by liver and kidney deficiency is difficult to eliminate even after a long period of rest, always making people unable to lift their spirits. In addition to fatigue, liver and kidney deficiency can also cause a series of other symptoms. For example, dizziness, feeling dizzy and heavy in the head, as if covered by a layer of fog; Tinnitus, often accompanied by a buzzing sound in the ears, is more pronounced when quiet; Weakness and soreness in the waist and knees, making it difficult to climb stairs and bend over; Dry eyes can become sour and blurry after prolonged viewing like soil lacking moisture. In addition, insomnia, frequent dreaming, memory loss, premature graying of hair, and loose teeth may also occur.
These symptoms not only seriously affect the quality of life of the elderly, but also further weaken the body's resistance and trigger other diseases. If not regulated promptly, the condition of liver and kidney deficiency will become increasingly severe, forming a vicious cycle. So, once signs of liver and kidney deficiency are found, they must be taken seriously, and measures should be taken promptly to regulate them. Can Cistanche deserticola, a miraculous traditional Chinese medicine, become the "savior" to solve this problem?
Can the appearance of Cistanche deserticola become a savior?
