Dr. He Haochen
Kidney deficiency can lead to memory decline. It may cause increased nocturnal urination and poor sleep, which in turn further impairs memory. Therefore, a deficiency of kidney essence can result in decreased memory function. Treatment should focus on replenishing kidney essence, using formulas such as Jin Suo Gu Jing Wan or Wu Zi Yan Zong Wan. Patients can also regularly consume foods like garlic chives, sesame seeds, walnuts, mulberries, and goji berries. It's important to maintain healthy eating habits and a regular sleep schedule.
