A kidney-tonifying and yang-strengthening medicinal and edible composition and a preparation method thereof

Abstract

This invention relates to the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), specifically a kidney-tonifying and aphrodisiac food-derived composition and its preparation method. While the liver and kidneys differ in morphology, structure, and physiological function, TCM theory holds that they share a common origin, stemming from congenital reproductive essence and nourished by kidney essence. Therefore, the abundance or deficiency of yin fluid in both organs is characterized by mutual abundance and deficiency; abundant liver yin is stored in kidney water, while abundant kidney yin nourishes liver wood. The formula includes: mulberry, wolfberry, yam, leek seed, black sesame, and black bean. The synergistic effects of the combination include: tonifying the kidneys and strengthening the foundation, balancing yin and yang, nourishing yin and blood, replenishing kidney yin deficiency, warming kidney yang, consolidating essence and qi, balancing yin and yang, strengthening the spleen and stomach, promoting diuresis, replenishing qi and blood, anti-aging, improving indigestion, lubricating the intestines and promoting bowel movements, and detoxification. This combination focuses on "tonifying the kidneys" while also nourishing yin, warming yang, strengthening the spleen, moistening the intestines, and anti-aging. It is especially suitable for people with kidney deficiency, weak constitution, sub-health, and middle-aged and elderly people.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine, specifically a kidney-tonifying and aphrodisiac food-derived composition and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] The kidneys are part of the urinary system and, in traditional Chinese medicine, are one of the five vital organs. The kidneys are considered the foundation of innate essence, the innate basis of human life, and are crucial for survival and reproduction. While the liver and kidneys differ in morphology, structure, and physiological function, traditional Chinese medicine believes they share a common origin, stemming from the innate reproductive essence and nourished by kidney essence. Therefore, the abundance or deficiency of yin fluids in both organs is characterized by mutual abundance and deficiency. Abundant liver yin is stored in the kidneys, while abundant kidney yin nourishes the liver. Liver and kidney deficiency, also known as liver and kidney yin deficiency, refers to a deficiency of yin fluids in both organs. This is often caused by prolonged illness, improper care, physical weakness and overwork, excessive sexual activity, and emotional imbalance. Patients with liver and kidney deficiency often experience lower back discomfort, most commonly manifesting as lower back pain, dizziness, and fatigue. Some patients may also experience urinary abnormalities such as frequent urination, urgency, painful urination, and hematuria. In addition, they may experience edema in the lower limbs and face, and long-term symptoms may include facial pigmentation and menstrual irregularities. Specific clinical manifestations include dizziness, tinnitus, memory loss, difficulty falling asleep, frequent dreams and easy awakening, dry mouth and tongue, weakness and soreness in the lower back and knees, pain in the hypochondriac region, five-center heat (palms, soles, and chest), flushed cheeks, night sweats, seminal emission in men, and scanty menstruation in women. The tongue is red with little coating, and the pulse is thready and rapid. The key diagnostic points for liver and kidney yin deficiency are weakness and soreness in the lower back and knees, tinnitus, and dizziness, as well as insomnia, chest and hypochondriac pain, flushed cheeks, and five-center heat (palms, soles, and chest). Treatment should focus on nourishing the blood and liver, and replenishing kidney yin. Summary of the Invention
