Dr. He Haochen
The main symptoms of kidney yin deficiency include dizziness, dampness, and weight loss. There are many causes of kidney yin deficiency: some are congenital, while others are acquired. Acquired kidney yin deficiency is relatively easier to manage and can be treated through dietary therapy, medication, or acupuncture. Dietary therapy involves consuming foods that nourish kidney yin. Medications such as Liuwei Dihuang Pills or Zuogui Pills may also be used for treatment.
