Motherland medicine also believes that the elderly have worked hard all their lives, resulting in deficiency of kidney essence, and often have aging phenomena such as sore back, soft legs, hunchback, and stumbling gait. In addition, due to insufficient gastric juice and weak lung qi, the skin often appears dry, wrinkled, spots and gray hair; also due to weak qi and blood and low activity, muscle atrophy and sore sores are difficult to heal.
