Help with Kidney issues

[tianzhang]

Hi everyone it's me again, so I went to a Chinese medical doctor who also practices Chinese martial arts and has proper lineage. It turns out I have Taiyang/Shaoyang disorder, and my kidneys can't move qi down and possibly some issues with my liver ( no it's not a jing or yin deficiency according to him) any advice to help? Anyone experienced anything similar?

Surely this doctor’s advice would be better than anyone on here if his credentials are legit. Has he prescribed you any herbs?

If you're going to a TCM doctor then just take his advice.

Absolutely! You can't properly diagnose or prescribe via the internet.

He prescribed me some herbs to help, and the grounding palm from Cheng Style seems to help.

He did! I am taking them, the problem is whenever I train it seems like my pelvic floor is constantly tightening up for some reason, maybe it's because he had me stop doing zhan zhuang.

Do you tend to get alternating hot and cold?

Yeah I have really bad heat issues since I was in middle school, it isn't a natural condition and was acquired due to stress.

That can definitely do it.

Go get a blood test and urine test too for verification. Nowadays, a good herbalist do read the western test to determine for herbal treatment.

Yeah the heat got so bad I'd wake up and find it hard to breath alot of the time, sometimes I thought I was dying.

 I did get all of those and they found nothing strange about me.

That almost sounds like blood level heat!

It decreased with my stress if that helps, the more neutral and indifferent I became towards life the less the heat got. Only problem is I am still pretty indifferent to life and it seems the heat stays in some form.

Yeah that means its deep. Of the four levels of heat, the blood level is the deepest.

Very unfortunate, I just don't understand how sickly people who practice the internal arts in the past improved but I am still sick from it. Only the grounding palm from the Eight mother palms seem to help me.

Hard to say with the limited information at hand. I'd listen to your TCM doctor.

I think as a general principle you should avoid anything that builds heat, and focus on things that release and purge.

I was actually very suicidal, I WANTED to die. I was angry that I wasn't dying fast enough. I am less so now, but I am very indifferent to life, life was very rough and might still be to an extent.

Doesn't neigong in general build heat due to it circulating qi?

That's horrible advice and you should remove it!

Probably, so therefore you probably shouldn't do it if you are having these kinds of problems. Qigong isn't the safe for all exercise that is often assumed.

My apologies my friend, I have removed the post. Wishing you well.
