Ways to settle hyperactive kidney yang due to him deficiency:
- learn to rest - continuous activity may seem important but your body needs down time to recuperate.
- consume smaller meals more frequently and include some duck, pork, kidney beans, oysters, whole meal grains, honey (particularly if constipated), moderate amounts of water (not liters upon liters daily), green leafy vegetables and perhaps a magnesium supplement.
- avoid alcohol, spicy foods, lamb, beef, sweets and candy and white (processed) grains.
- add small amounts of:
Prepared Rhemmania (Chinese foxglove root or Shu Di Huang),
Goji Berries (Gou Qi),
Ophiopogon (Mai Men Dong),
Ligusticum wallichii (Szechuan Lovage or Chuan Xiong) only in combination with the above, not on its own)
If you can purchase these in your area.
My recommendation is to find a Chinese herbal shop or supplier online and go from there.
Kidney Yin takes time to rebuild, it does not occur overnight but the results are worthwhile as Kidney Yin deificiency is at the root of Menopause symptoms, osteoporosis, type 2 diabetes, hearing loss and can contribute to stroke, heart attack and other serious medical conditions if left unattended for many years.
