Can people with kidney yang deficiency drink water steeped with Atractylodes and枳实 (Fructus Aurantii)?

Kidney Yang deficiency can usually be managed by drinking water infused with Atractylodes (Bai Zhu) and Immature Bitter Orange (Zhi Shi). Atractylodes helps strengthen the spleen and replenish Qi, while Immature Bitter Orange is commonly used to resolve phlegm, dissipate nodules, promote Qi circulation, and relieve food stagnation. This combination generally does not exacerbate Kidney Yang deficiency. For patients with concurrent Spleen and Stomach deficiency-cold, this herbal infusion may be used under medical guidance to help improve symptoms.
