Chinese medicine believes that the cause of postmenopausal ovarian dysfunction and the decrease in estrogen is kidney deficiency
including kidney Yin deficiency
kidney Yang deficiency and kidney Yin and Yang deficiency syndrome. We can use the kidney yang-tonifying medicinal to treat the disorder of lipid metabolism and related diseases caused by estrogen reduce and kidney yang deficiency. On the one hand
it can warm kidney Yang
improve ovarian function
increase the estrogen
on the other hand
it can warm and tonify kidney Yang
enhanced gasification to educe lipid-lowering effect. Consult the articles
we found that many kidney yang-tonifying drugs not only have estrogen-like effects
but also have the regulating effect of lipid metabolism
such as Herba Epimedii
Cornu Cervi Pantotrichum
Cortex Eucommiae
Fructus Psoraleae
Semen Cuscutae
Fructus Cnidii
Herba Cistanches
Semen Astragali Complanati. Some kidney yang-tonifying drugs have the regulating effect of lipid metabolism
such as Cordyceps
Cortex Cinnamomi
Fructus Rosae Laevigatae. Some kidney yang-tonifying drugs have estrogen-like effects
such as Placenta Hominis
Radix Dipsaci
Gecko. Summarize the kidney yang estrogen-like effects and lipid regulating effect mechanisms can provide the basis for depth study of the estrogen-like effects and lipid-regulating mechanisms of the kidney yang-tonifying drugs.
