I wonder if it has to do with asthenic kidneys?” CheckCheckCin: Asthenic kidneys refer to weakness in the kidneys. People would generally associate sexual dysfunction with kidneys, and Chinese Medicine theories believe that the kidneys store the essence, promote growth and reproduction. Thus, sexual dysfunction is partially associated with the organ’s weakness. There are two types of weakness in the kidneys – yin-deficient and yang-deficient: 1) Yang-deficient type asthenic kidney: Symptoms include aversion to cold, fatigue, soreness and weakness in the knees and waist, after-dribble, loose stools, or experience diarrhea at around 3-5am. Men would experience erectile dysfunction, nocturnal emission, or premature ejaculation, whereas women would experience pain during menstruation (warm compression can relieve this condition), amenorrhea (absence of menstruation), and difficulties with conception. Hence, it is important to replenish yang in the kidneys. 2) Yin-deficient type asthenic kidneys: Symptoms include the accumulation of heat in the body, soreness and weakness in the knees and waist, dizziness, tinnitus or hearing impairment, night sweats, gum pain, and sore throat.

Some people will drink diluted salt water on an empty stomach in an attempt to improve bowel movements. From the perspective of Chinese Medicine, salt can reduce the body heat, cool the blood and eliminate toxin, and it is especially beneficial for people with constipation, those who experience yin deficiency, and those with heat related body condition. Gulping down a glass of warm salt water on an empty stomach early morning can indeed relieve constipation, especially during 5am – 7am, when the large intestines are active. However, individuals with water retention problem, high blood pressure and kidney issues should avoid doing so, as it might aggravate the existing health problems. Drinking salt water to relieve constipation is not a long-term solution. It is best to understand the causes of constipation, such as qi deficiency, blood deficiency, yang deficiency, damp-heat condition and qi stagnation. Also, adjust your diet to improve your body condition. If the problem persists, consult Chinese physicians to work out the best treatment for you.
