Sishen Pill and Roukou Sishen Pill are two commonly used Chinese patent medicines for treating spleen and kidney yang deficiency and diarrhea in Wugeng. Although the two words are different, their functions are quite different. The details are as follows. According to the composition of medicine, Sishen Pill is composed of five Chinese medicines: nutmeg, Psoralea corylifolia, Schisandra chinensis, Evodia rutaecarpa and jujube. In the prescription, Psoralea corylifolia warms the kidney to help yang, warms the spleen to stop diarrhea; Evodia rutaecarpa warms the liver, spleen, stomach and kidney to dispel cold, help yang and stop diarrhea; Nutmeg warms the spleen and stomach, astringents the intestines and stops diarrhea; Schisandra chinensis acid astringent, solid kidney and qi, astringent essence and diarrhea; Ginger warms the stomach and dispels the cold, and jujube tonifies the spleen and nourishes the stomach. All kinds of medicines are matched, spleen and kidney are supplemented together, and the spleen and yang can be healthy when the mission is full of fire, and the power of warming yang and astringing intestines complement each other, which plays the role of warming kidney and spleen, warming yang and dispelling cold, astringing intestines and stopping diarrhea. Based on Sishen Pill, Roukou Sishen Pill is made by removing Fructus Schisandrae Chinensis and Fructus Jujubae, and adding Radix Aucklandiae, Papaver Shell, Fructus Chebulae, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Zingiberis Rhizoma and Atractylodis Rhizoma. Papaver shell and terminalia chebula meat enter the lung and large intestine meridian, and its function of astringent intestine and antidiarrheal is stronger than that of Schisandra chinensis. Poppy shell is toxic, and it is easy to be addicted after long-term use, so it is not suitable for regular use. Radix Aucklandiae and Radix Paeoniae Alba harmonize liver and spleen, and smooth qi; Dried ginger and Atractylodes macrocephala warm the middle warmer to dispel cold, benefit qi and strengthen the spleen. The combination of various medicines enhances the effects of warming the middle warmer to dispel cold, invigorating qi and spleen, astringing intestines and stopping diarrhea. From the efficacy, Sishen Pill has the functions of warming kidney and spleen, warming yang and dispelling cold, astringing intestine and stopping diarrhea. It is often used for diseases such as fire failure of the vital door, deficiency of the spleen and kidney, cold, anorexia, prolonged diarrhea, diarrhea in the fifth watch, abdominal distension due to bowel sounds or abdominal pain in loose stool, soreness in the waist, cold limbs and sallow complexion. Roukou Sishen Pill has the functions of warming middle warmer, dispelling cold, invigorating spleen and stopping diarrhea. It is often used for constipation, diarrhea at dawn, abdominal pain and diarrhea with bowel sounds, no appetite, sallow complexion, emaciation, backache and leg weakness. From the point of clinical application and treatment, Sishen Pill is mainly aimed at diarrhea caused by spleen and kidney yang deficiency, and is more suitable for those with mild spleen and stomach deficiency and cold symptoms, severe kidney yang deficiency symptoms and more obvious waist and knee soreness and cold symptoms. On the basis of Sishen Pill, Roukou Sishen Pill has enhanced the effects of warming the middle warmer, dispelling cold, invigorating qi, invigorating spleen, astringing intestines and stopping diarrhea. It is more suitable for those with severe symptoms of spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, strong cold in the body, mild symptoms of kidney-yang deficiency and inconspicuous symptoms of waist and knees.

To put it simply, it is more appropriate to take Sishen Pill for diarrhea caused by spleen-kidney yang deficiency and kidney meridian deficiency.
