Do the walnuts and kidney beans also tonify Yang?

Please do. A lot of people on the list have trouble getting books. The

list of Yang tonic foods would be good for the next one as people who are

Kidney Yin Deficient almost always are Kidney Yang Deficient to a lesser

degree, and vice versa.

 

For those new to TCM, the Kidneys supply the Yin and Yang for the rest of

the body. Because of both Kidney Deficiencies being present if one is

(though in lesser degree), Kidney Yin tonic formulas usually contain at

least one Kidney Yang tonic herb, and Kidney Yang tonic formulas usually

contain at least one Kidney Yin tonic herb.

 

One thing to keep in mind when choosing foods if one is Kidney Yin Deficient

is to also include some foods which are Kidney Yang tonic. (And vice

versa.)

 

Yin Deficiency can affect other Organs - like the Liver, Stomach, etc. The

thing about Liver Yin Deficiency is that Kidney Yin Deficiency frequently is

present too (but not always).
