Liuwei Dihuang Pill is mainly made of six kinds of traditional Chinese medicines: Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Alismatis Rhizoma, Rhizoma Dioscoreae, Poria, Cornus officinalis and Cortex Moutan, among which Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Rhizoma Dioscoreae and Cornus officinalis are the main tonics, while Poria, Alismatis Rhizoma and Cortex Moutan are the main tonics, so as to achieve the balance of tonification and diarrhea and nourish organs such as kidney, liver, spleen and stomach.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that kidney deficiency is divided into yin deficiency and yang deficiency, and its symptoms and causes are very different. Not all kidney deficiency can be supplemented with Liuwei Dihuang Pill. It should be noted that Liuwei Dihuang Pill is suitable for kidney yin deficiency. If people with kidney-yang deficiency take Liuwei Dihuang Pill, it will make the yin evil more abundant and aggravate the symptoms of yang deficiency.
How to distinguish kidney yin deficiency? The common symptoms of kidney yin deficiency are dry mouth, upset and insomnia, hot flashes and night sweats, dizziness, physical weakness, soreness of waist and knees, tinnitus and deafness, feverish hands and feet, and red tongue with little fur. If this is the case, it shows that there is kidney yin deficiency, and you can take Liuwei Dihuang Pill under the guidance of a doctor.
It is a three-point poison, and there are contraindications for taking it, and Liuwei Dihuang Pill is no exception. People with spleen and stomach deficiency are not suitable to eat, because the rehmannia and dogwood in Liuwei Dihuang Pill will make the spleen and stomach drain more severely. People with kidney-yin deficiency but wind-cold should take medicine to cure the disease first, and then tonify kidney-yin, otherwise the drugs will collide, which will aggravate the wind-cold condition.
People with phlegm-dampness constitution often have oily face, easy to sweat, chest tightness, excessive phlegm, easy to feel sleepy, fat tongue, easy to feel heavy and not refreshing, and sticky stool. Liuwei Dihuang Pills tend to nourish yin. If taking Liuwei Dihuang Pills, phlegm-dampness will be aggravated.
Healthy people don't recommend taking Liuwei Dihuang Pills, because the human body can only be healthy if it reaches a balance. If a healthy person uses tonics, this balance will be broken and some adverse effects will be caused to the body.
In any case, tonic can only improve and repair the body to a certain extent, and we can't expect drugs to completely improve the body. For example, tonifying the kidney, excessively having sex, frequently engaging in mental activities, and staying up late for a long time without enough sleep are all bad habits that hurt the kidney. If you don't pay attention to the change of living habits and only rely on drugs for tonic, the effect may be only minimal, so you should improve your life and cooperate with drugs to achieve the best kidney-tonifying effect.
