Liuwei Dihuang Pills were first introduced into the Chinese medicine collection "Jinkui Shenqi Pills" (also known as Guifu Dihuang Pills) in the famous work "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" by the "Medical Saint" Zhang Zhongjing. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the chief physician Qian Yi believed that the kidneys determined human growth and development, and emphasized the theory that tonification and purgation should be carried out at the same time. Starting with the "Jinkui Shenqi Pills", he created a famous prescription for nourishing kidney yin - Liuwei Dihuang Pills, which is composed of 6 Chinese medicinal herbs: cooked rehmannia, cornus officinalis, yam, oriental water plantain, moutan bark, and poria.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidneys store "innate essence", are the basis of the yin and yang of the internal organs, and the source of life, so they are called "innate basis". The formula uses Rehmannia root to nourish yin and tonify the kidney, replenish essence and produce marrow, and is the main medicine in the formula. Cornus officinalis nourishes the liver and kidneys, and can astringe semen;

In Liuwei Dihuang Pills, yam nourishes the spleen, replenishes qi and consolidates essence, and the two are used as assistant medicines. The three herbs work together to nourish the liver, spleen, and kidneys. They have comprehensive effects and focus on replenishing kidney yin to make up for the deficiency and cure the "root cause". Alisma orientalis can drain the kidney and eliminate dampness, and can prevent Rehmannia glutinosa from being too nourishing and greasy; Cortex Moutan can clear and drain liver fire, and at the same time can restrain the astringent effect of Cornus officinalis; Poria can lightly penetrate spleen dampness and help Dioscorea opposita to strengthen the spleen and stomach. These three medicines are laxatives, which can drain dampness and turbidity and balance the excessiveness. They are adjuvants and can treat the symptoms.

It is more suitable for kidney yin deficiency. Just from the claims of historical doctors, we can see that Liuwei Dihuang Pills is mainly used to nourish kidney yin; in addition, from the composition of the prescription, it can achieve the effect of nourishing the three yins at the same time (tonifying kidney yin, liver yin, and spleen yin).

From this we can see that Liuwei Dihuang Pills are more suitable for Yin deficiency, while those with Yang deficiency should choose more suitable medicines.
