I remember seeing before something about lower back pain possibly being kidney energy being low or something?Anyway, I'm 19 and Have lower back pain. I've had it since I was like 15 years old, it's been getting slowly and steadily worse. I went to a chiropractor for several months weekly, and while it made some progress, it didn't make a lot, and frankly, it was too costly to keep going because at the rate it was taking, it would have taken several years to get completely better. The chiropractor said it was scar tissue in the muscles, but idk why I would have that since I've never had a back injury.
Any help would be appreciated thanks :)

Lower back pain
Talon,
As discussed, base on your symptoms and tongue presentation, the underlying cause of your lower back pain is a combination of Kidney, Liver Lung and Heart yin deficiency.
This quadrilogy of Yin deficiency was referred to by the ancient books as Lily Disease, because the treatment involves the Lily Flower as the chief herb.
Naturally, I will recommend to you a multi herb formula, because this will shorten the length of time of treatment and help to improve all of the symptoms.
Th Chinese name of the formula is Bai He Gu Jin Wan which translates to Lily Bulb Formula to Preserve the Metal (Lungs).
The dosage is according to the brand which you purchase - take the maximum recommended dose for a period that is at minimum 4 weeks.
I will include some acupressure points which you can massage and some lifestyle suggestions in a further post in a short while.

As mentioned, in addition to the herbal formula I listed, you should attempt to massage the following bodily points twice daily on both body sides, for about a minute each side:
Bladder 60:
Spleen 6:
Ren 1:
(This is a point on the midline so there is only one - for men it is half the distance between the scrotum and anus)
Liver 3:
In terms of lifestyle, attempt to consume less hot and spicy foods like chilli and other hot spices which make you sweat, consume more cooling foods instead like watermelon, cucumber, other leafy greens (well cooked to prevent digestive impairment) and include plenty of water spread throughout the day.
Legumes are also good to nourish yin and clear heat especially black beans and kidney beans. Reduce the amounts of lamb and beef you eat and increase meats like chicken, pork and duck. Oysters are fantastic as are other basic fish meals.
Try to get to bed before 11 pm, earlier if possible and avoid getting too hot at night to avoid sweating.
If the sweating continues, massage the following point with the others above:
