Guifu Dihuang Pill has the function of warming yang and tonifying kidney, which is very suitable for diseases caused by renin deficiency. The symptoms of kidney deficiency are: decreased renal function, decreased sexual interest, "sheep tail" (sheep = yang, tail = flaccidity) or not hard enough to complete sexual life. "jujube machinery" (jujube = morning, machinery = discharge), nocturnal emission. Among them, Cinnamomum cassia and Radix Aconiti Lateralis have important functions of warming and tonifying kidney yang, but the toxicity of Radix Aconiti Lateralis is a safety factor that we can't ignore. First introduce the toxicity of aconite.
Aconitum poisoning symptoms: burning mouth, numbness (from fingers to whole body), nausea, possible vomiting, salivation, fatigue, dilated pupils, dyspnea, weak and slow pulse, pale face, cold and sticky skin and sudden death. The main component of aconite is aconitine, which is extremely toxic. Processing can remove some toxicity of aconite, but it is still toxic, so clinical use should be cautious.
Although aconite is a good medicine for warming and tonifying kidney-yang, taking it in excess will become a terrible poison for the kidney. The nephrotoxicity of aconite is mainly manifested in tubulointerstitial nephritis, glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome and even renal failure. Severe cases include proteinuria, hematuria and acute renal failure. Therefore, I would like to remind you not to take other Chinese medicine preparations containing aconite at the same time.
