Liver and kidney yin deficiency refers to a condition in which the yin fluids of both the liver and kidneys are depleted, leading to internal deficiency heat. It commonly manifests as dizziness, blurred vision, dry eyes, tinnitus, soreness and weakness in the lower back and knees, and similar symptoms. To manage liver and kidney yin deficiency, lifestyle adjustments are essential, including ensuring adequate sleep, engaging in moderate physical exercise, avoiding excessive fatigue, and maintaining a positive mental state. Dietary regulation is also important—consumption of foods that nourish the liver and kidneys, such as sesame seeds, mulberries, and Chinese yam, should be increased. Depending on the severity of the condition, under medical guidance, appropriate traditional Chinese patent medicines may be used for调理 (regulation), such as Qiju Dihuang Pills or Zhibai Dihuang Pills, which help nourish the liver and kidneys and clear deficiency heat. Additionally, physical therapies like acupuncture and massage administered by qualified practitioners can serve as supportive treatments to improve symptoms. Regular hospital check-ups are recommended to monitor progress and adjust treatment strategies according to the individual's recovery.
