See explanation* Explanation: * "肾阳" is a concept in Chinese medicine known as "kidney-yang" (the opposite of kidney-yin). In Chinese medicine, kidney-yang is understood to warm bodily organs and promote their functions. "失去温煦功能" therefore means a "loss of the warming function of kidney-yang". |

| Reference: Deficiency of Kidney Yang Reference information: Kidney yang deficiency decreases the warming function of the kidney bringing on the symptoms of lassitude, coldness and pain in the lumbar region and the knees, cold extremities and frequent urination, leading to pathological conditions such as inadequate reproductive ability, impotence, premature ejaculation and coldness of the uterus. If a certain degree of kidney yin or yang deficiency is reached then either may injure the other resulting in a loss of the body's dynamic physiological balance. http://tcmbasics.com/zangfu_5zang_kidney.htm http://www.icanm.com/pages/samples/ch2kidney.asp |
