Diagnosed with kidney and spleen yang deficiency

By Archived User | Updated: Dec 31, 2021 | Published: Dec 31, 2021

History.
Always feeling cold, cold feet, frequent night time urination, tiredness, insomnia, low back pain. (been feeling this way for about 9 months)

TCM doc diagnosed KI + SP yang deficiency, made me up a decoction of herbs, I take it twice per day, after 3 weeks I feel a little better, (not cold anymore and nocturia 90% improved)

I changed my diet, no more cold/raw food or drinks.

My question is how long does it take for TCM to work?

I’m not sure what you are asking, it seems you already improving and in a very short time frame considering how long your symptoms have been happening.

You might be asking how long you would be on the herbs, etc.? If so, the person who is in the best position to answer that is your current practitioner who prescribed your treatment. They would be most familiar with your case.
