The formula below also good for kidneys.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), 肾三药 (shèn sān yào), or the "three kidney herbs," refer to three commonly used herbs believed to support and nourish kidney health. These herbs are often used in TCM to tonify kidney Qi (vital energy), kidney Yin, and kidney Yang. Here’s a brief overview of the three herbs that typically fall under this category:
枸杞 (Gǒuqǐ), also known as Goji Berry:
- Properties: Sweet, neutral
- Functions: Nourishes the liver and kidneys, enriches Yin, and benefits the essence and blood. It is commonly used for weakness, fatigue, dizziness, and blurred vision.
- Uses: Often included in formulas for kidney Yin deficiency, goji berries can be consumed as a tea, added to soups, or eaten raw.
熟地黄 (Shú Dì Huáng), or Rehmannia Root:
- Properties: Sweet, slightly warm
- Functions: Primarily used to nourish the Yin and essence, and is excellent for the kidneys. It is often prescribed for deficiencies in Yin that result in symptoms like night sweats, dizziness, and weakness in the lower back.
- Uses: Rehmannia is commonly included in herbal formulas as a Yin tonic and is particularly helpful for both kidney and liver Yin deficiency.
杜仲 (Dù Zhòng), or Eucommia Bark:
- Properties: Sweet, slightly acrid, warm
- Functions: Strengthens the kidneys and liver, tonifies kidney Yang, and is helpful for lower back pain and joint pain, especially due to kidney deficiency.
- Uses: Often found in formulas for tonifying kidney Yang and supporting joint health, Du Zhong can be consumed as a tea or used in more complex formulas for kidney strengthening.
These three herbs work together to target both kidney Yin and Yang, supporting overall kidney health and vitality, particularly in cases of deficiency. However, it’s essential to consult with a TCM practitioner before using these herbs to ensure they’re suitable for your unique constitution.
