Just like death and taxes, lower back pain is a certainty of life, at least for the 30 million or so Americans who experience it at any given time.1<\/sup> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In comparison to a global pandemic scourge like influenza, tweaking your lower back or having chronic discomfort in that area might not seem like a big deal. But worldwide, back pain is in fact the most common cause of disability; it costs the U.S. economy alone over $100 billion each year.2,3<\/sup> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional Chinese Medicine And Low Back Discomfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Certainly, centuries ago, back pain wasn\u2019t as ubiquitous as it is in modern society, right? After all, isn\u2019t leading a sedentary lifestyle one primary cause of low back pain? If you don\u2019t stretch and move enough, you\u2019re likely to experience it. It\u2019s easy to picture masses of ancient villagers, before beginning a day\u2019s work of laboring in the fields, practicing the ancient moving meditation discipline of Tai Chi, keeping the vertebrae supple, and thereby preventing low back discomfort.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the reality is that back pain in ancient China was fairly common. In fact, herbal remedies for low back discomfort date back several centuries. After all, even if every single peasant practiced Tai Chi on a daily basis, the disciple can\u2019t completely undue bending over for hours at a time in the fields. (Of course, there are other underlying causes besides lack of flexibility and muscular overuse.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Root Causes of Low Back Aches In TCM<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

#1: Too Much Sex<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While \u201ctoo much sex\u201d wasn\u2019t the official diagnosis a Chinese medicine doctor or herbalist would give a patient, it is one cause of it\u2014at least in men. That\u2019s because excessive semen loss depletes the Kidney TCM organ of Yin energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In TCM theory, the Kidney (which includes in TCM the Western physical organs, plus meridians and other viscera) functions as the body\u2019s batteries. <\/div>\n\n\n\n

In TCM theory, the Kidney (which includes in TCM the Western physical organs, plus meridians and other viscera) functions as the body\u2019s batteries. Your Kidneys are the source of your Yin and Yang energies. In addition, Kidney organ also serves as the body\u2019s energy piggy bank, storing Jing<\/em>, which you can think of as your life essence and the source of bodily fluids. Excessive release of semen causes Jing deficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(How much sex is too much is the subject for another post.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what does ejaculation have to do with low back aches? The Kidney meridian system (think: superhighway of energy conductors) travels through the spine. Also, think about where the Western organ kidneys are located: in the upper abdominal area against the back muscles on both the left and right side of the body. There\u2019s a good reason why when boxers are locked up in a combative hug, they try to weaken their opponent by taking pot shots at the kidneys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actually, low back aches can be caused by either Yin or Yang deficiency. How do you know which deficiency pattern you have? With the former, excess ejaculation as well as premature ejaculation are signs; the latter is usually accompanied by a lack of libido. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herbal Support for Deficiency Patterns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For those with Kidney Yin deficiency, low back discomfort may not be the only problem. The pattern also presents with sweating and an overheated body. This is when Kidney Yin deficiency applies to females, in the form of hot flashes. Other symptoms of the pattern include a pale complexion, tiredness lightheadedness, decreased vision, or occasional ringing in the ears. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"YinVive\"<\/a>\n\"YinVive\"<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The most well-regarded formula for Kidney Yin deficiency is Lui Wei Di Huang, known as YinVive<\/a>YinVive<\/a> in ActiveHerb\u2019s Guang Ci Tang brand of Chinese Medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned, lower back discomfort can also be caused by Yang deficiency. Yang is the warming counterbalance to Yin\u2019s cooling energy. So if your Kidneys are lacking Yang, you\u2019ll likely feel cold in the extremities, even when the weather isn\u2019t very cold. In addition, not having enough Yang may result in sore knees, excess need to urinate and frequent movement of the hands and feet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re cold much of the time or experiencing poor sexual performance, YanVive<\/a>YanVive<\/a> may help. YanVive can actually be used to resolve much of the same symptoms as YinVive. (For best results, have your patterns diagnosed by an acupuncturist or TCM doctor.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: Back Aches Caused By Blood Stasis <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Kidney deficiency may seem like an esoteric concept for those unfamiliar with TCM concepts. The next pattern through the lens of TCM is much easier to comprehend. Blood stasis occurs because of injury. The blood pools in the area that\u2019s injured, causing stagnation and inflammation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This pattern can not only be caused by a recent injury but also by a history of back strain. The level of discomfort can vary, from mildly annoying to intense stabbing discomfort in a fixed area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can relate, StasisClear<\/a>StasisClear<\/a> may help. This ancient formula quickly promotes blood and Qi circulation and removes Blood stasis in the meridians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3: Low Back Aches Because Of Cold-Damp Invasions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In TCM theory, there are 6 external influences that can cause illness or aches. These are known as the 6 Evils. If you\u2019re somebody who has to live through the long cold, damp winters of the Pacific Northwest, it\u2019s easy to see why Cold and Dampness are two of the six evils. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wind is another Evil that can cause low back discomfort. These external influences, according to TCM theory, invade the back and trunk, causing Qi and Blood stagnation. (If you\u2019re mom told you to bundle up before you left the house when you were a kid, she was unknowingly giving you practical TCM advice!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although TCM principles may often seem complex, Qi and Blood stagnation caused by bad weather is an easy root cause to grasp. And if your discomfort worsens in damp, cold or windy weather (or combinations thereof), JointsJoy<\/a>JointsJoy<\/a> may help. This herbal formula for low back discomfort may also increase your mobility.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
