Kidney-Nourishing and Teeth-Strengthening Tea Remedy
Many people are afraid of visiting the dentist. I remember a TV commercial once encouraged the public to have regular dental check-ups, and one line said that your teeth can be with you your whole life. Everyone hopes to have white and strong teeth. Old age doesn't necessarily mean tooth loss; my grandfather, for example, still has strong teeth in his 90s.
The "Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic" once stated, "At five eights (40 years old), kidney qi declines, hair falls out, and teeth wither," to illustrate the close relationship between the kidneys and growth. This means that when men reach their 40s, kidney qi begins to decline and weaken, hair starts to fall out, and teeth begin to wither. The kidneys govern the bones and produce marrow, and teeth are considered the "excess" of the bones. Sufficient kidney essence can nourish the bones and teeth, making them strong. Additionally, "the kidneys store essence, and their splendor is reflected in the hair." Healthy hair originates from the kidneys, and sufficient kidney essence can also nourish the hair, preventing premature graying and hair loss.
Nourishing the kidneys can strengthen teeth and hair. Simply use 5 mulberries and 5 grams of wolfberries daily. After rinsing the ingredients, steep them in hot water for 10 minutes, and then the drink is ready.
Mulberry is sweet and sour in taste, cold in nature, and enters the heart, liver, and kidney meridians. It can nourish blood and yin, promote body fluid production and moisten dryness, darken hair, and improve vision. It is helpful for dizziness and tinnitus, heart palpitations and insomnia, premature graying of hair and beard, thirst due to fluid deficiency, and internal heat causing thirst.
Wolfberry is sweet in taste, neutral in nature, and enters the liver and kidney meridians. It can nourish the liver and improve vision, tonify the liver and kidneys, moisten the lungs, and supplement qi. It can also benefit essence and blood, improve vision, and prevent blurred vision and decline.
In terms of dietary therapy, the Five Elements theory suggests that black foods can enhance kidney function. Therefore, it is beneficial to eat more black foods such as black sesame, black fungus, black beans, chestnuts, and black rice to nourish the kidneys.
