Backache and discomfort: The waist area is the "mansion" of the Kidney, and the lack of Kidney Essence would result in inadequately supplied “mansion”, back pain and other related symptoms will appear, and must be taken seriously.

Forgetfulness: Kidney Essence nourishes the bones, but it also nourishes the brain (Sea of Marrow) because the bones are the cavity that houses the Marrow. When you notice your memory isn’t what it used to be, it is the telltale sign of Kidney Essence Deficiency.

When treating for Kidney Deficiency, we must first identify the root cause in order to improve the symptoms of the Kidney. Common causes of Kidney Deficiency are mainly the following: congenital deficiency; emotional disorders, moodiness, emotional excesses; excessive sexual intercourse; chronic illness that damages the Kidney; aging and ailing. The treatment principles are intimately related to the imbalance of Yin and Yang. One needs to correctly differentiate between Kidney Yang Deficiency and Kidney Yin Deficiency (in Deficiency of Yang, tonify Yang; In Deficiency of Yin, nourish Yin), otherwise the treatment will be counterproductive.

Hearing loss (gradual), tinnitus, and feelings of agitation: According to TCM theory our facial features, our eyes, tongue, mouth, nose, and ears corresponds to the five internal organs Liver, Heart, Spleen, Lung, and Kidney. Our ears’ auditory functions are closely related to the Kidney. When Kidney is functioning normally, so does our hearing. Conversely, when symptoms of tinnitus, feelings of agitation, and/or gradual hearing loss occur, one should consider the possibility of Kidney Yin Deficiency.

Loose teeth: Kidneys control the bones, and bones rely on the nourishment of the Kidney Essence. The teeth are considered an ‘extension of the Bones’, so the state of bones have a direct impact on the teeth. Kidney Deficiency could lead to malnourishment of the bones, which in turn leads to loose teeth. Both Kidney Yin Deficiency and Kidney Qi Deficiency could cause loose teeth.

Hair loss or premature graying: from TCM theory, the kidneys manifest in the hair, and hair is the surplus of blood. Since the kidneys play a role in transforming stored essence into blood, they are thought to be the origin of hair. Kidney Qi Deficiency or excessive worry would affect the quality and quantity of hair. Under normal circumstances, graying start after the age of 40, this is due to the nature but gradual decay of Kidney Essence. The malnourished hair begins to turn gray, and as a natural phenomenon, no treatment is needed. But if the hair loss and graying occurred suddenly, it is mostly likely caused by the disruption of the body's functional activities of Qi, and treatment is recommended.
