Many friends often feel weak and weak in their waist and legs, making it difficult to exert oneself. Or the legs and feet are always cold and prone to cramps. Actually, these are signals that our body is starting to age.
As the saying goes, "When a tree withers and its roots run out, people's feet decay first." It means that our legs and feet are like the roots of a tree. After a tree grows old, its roots wither first, while after a person ages, its legs decay first.
Because in our lower body, there are six meridians of Foot Three Yin and Foot Three Yang, which are connected to the liver and gallbladder, spleen and stomach, kidneys, and bladder. Therefore, the changes in our legs and feet can reflect the rise and fall of these organs. And our feet are located at the end and bottom. Just like a river, when water dries up, the downstream is the fastest sign of drying up. So when our nutrition and Qi and blood are insufficient, it will first be reflected on our feet, and then on our legs. For example, when there is insufficient qi and blood, the feet are prone to cramps, numbness, and dry skin.
So how to adjust it? Firstly, both the waist and legs are related to the tendons. And the kidney governs the bone, generates marrow, and stores essence; The liver governs the tendons and stores blood. Our waist and legs are composed of muscles and bones, and these muscles still need to be nourished by blood essence. However, as we age, the blood essence in the liver and kidneys gradually declines, and the waist and legs cannot be nourished, leading to the problem of sour waist and weak legs.
So if you want to strengthen your muscles and bones, the key is still to nourish the liver and kidneys. Today, I will teach you two herbs to boil and drink, which have the effects of tonifying the kidney, consolidating essence, promoting blood circulation and resolving blood stasis, and strengthening the waist and knees. They are Eucommia ulmoides and Ox Knee.
Eucommia ulmoides can nourish both liver and kidney, strengthen muscles and bones. Eucommia ulmoides is actually the bark of a tree. If you break it apart and look at it, you will find that there is still a thread between the two pieces of skin, like tendons connecting to bones. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes analogies, so it is very beneficial for our muscles and bones.
Besides, ox knee also has the function of tonifying the liver and kidney, strengthening muscles and bones. But it can also promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and is good at descending. Often used to regulate conditions below the knee. In traditional Chinese medicine, there is often a saying that 'without oxknee, not below knee', indicating its importance for knee diseases.
So many people will ask: Director Bao, what is the dosage of the medicine? This requires differentiation based on individual circumstances. If you need it, you can have a professional doctor help you with differentiation!
