Men Nourish The Liver, Women Nourish The Kidneys

May 23, 2024

In traditional Chinese medicine health preservation, it is said that the innate foundation is the kidney, and the acquired foundation is the liver. That is to say, during growth and development, it is necessary to nourish and nourish the kidneys, so that bones and bone marrow can be healthy. When you are sick and unable to take action, you need to replenish the acquired spleen, generate more qi and blood to lay a solid foundation for the body, and enhance antibodies. However, the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon states that "men nourish the liver, women nourish the kidneys", which is also a noteworthy issue. The liver governs yang and strategy. It is very dangerous for men to lack masculinity. Men belong to Yang, but Yang is not enough to nourish the liver. Women have the great task of reproduction, so the kidneys are very important to women. Women belong to yin. So the kidneys (which belong to water) are the lifeline of women.

But now men nourish their kidneys and women nourish their faces more. Don't you know that men nourishing the liver is nourishing the kidneys, and women nourishing the kidneys is beauty? Chinese medicine is extensive and profound, with the liver meridian being in power from 1 am to 3 am. At this time, the liver detoxifies, and one must lie down and sleep before the blood returns to the liver for detoxification. Drinking at this time is like risking one's life. Another issue is that men often get angry, which can lead to liver yang hyperactivity. Some men still hold their breath at work and home, and their turbid qi cannot be eliminated. Therefore, it is necessary to mention the Taichong acupoint again. Massaging for 5 minutes every day can relieve qi and depression. There is also the main energy of the Three Jiao Classic, and tapping the Three Jiao Classic is also okay. Carrots and purple-skinned grapes are also foods that nourish the liver.

As for women, they must keep their feet warm. The Yongquan acupoint under their feet is very important in the Kidney Meridian, and they cannot freeze their feet just for the sake of beauty. They should soak their feet more at night, and they can usually use scraping and scraping on the back to relieve the cold. Don't eat too much cold food. Cold energy can damage both qi and blood in the body, as well as the kidneys. Most cases of nephritis are characterized by a deficiency cold in the body. It is not good to keep your hands and feet cold. You can use a hot water bag to apply heat to your lower back, and after soaking your feet, use a brush to brush the soles of your feet for foot therapy. This way, the essence of your kidneys will be strong.
