Liuwei Dihuang Pills is a famous prescription for tonifying the kidneys. This name comes from the "Direct Prescriptions for Pediatric Medicine" written by Qian Zhongyang. Liuwei Dihuang Pills are composed of six Chinese medicinal herbs: Rehmannia root, Cornus officinalis, Chinese yam, Alisma orientalis, Cortex moutan, and Poria. The earliest one was “Bawei Dihuang Pill”, which appeared in Zhang Zhongjing’s “Golden Chamber”. Later, Qian Yi, a famous doctor and pediatric expert in the Song Dynasty, removed the warming and tonic drugs such as aconite and cinnamon twig from the Eight-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill, turning it into the current Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill, which is used to treat congenital deficiencies, developmental delays and other diseases in children.

Later, in the Ming Dynasty, a school of Chinese medicine highly praised the role of "kidney", believing that kidney is the "innate foundation" of human beings. For a time, many famous doctors advocated kidney tonification. For example, Xue Ji, a famous doctor in the Ming Dynasty, was the best at kidney tonification. He advocated using Liuwei Dihuang Pills for kidney yin deficiency and Bawei Dihuang Pills for kidney yang deficiency. Xue Ji's practice was recognized by many medical practitioners in later generations, and the kidney-tonifying ideas they advocated had a great influence on later generations.

Liuwei Dihuang Pills are mainly used to treat those who have kidney yin deficiency and excessive yang, hyperactivity of yang or even strong yang. If you insist on taking Liuwei Dihuang Pills, you will definitely get the ideal effect. However, modern people generally have a yin-dominant yang-deficient constitution. If you take Liuwei Dihuang Pills again, it will only make the yin evil stronger and the yang weaker. The external manifestation is that the person becomes increasingly weak, has no energy to do things, and has to take a long time to catch his breath after climbing the stairs. Therefore, when using Liuwei Dihuang Pills, you must first distinguish whether it is kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency. People with kidney yang deficiency must not use it, and people with kidney yin deficiency should not use it too much. The effect received after taking it should be the standard. Excessive consumption will also harm the body.

The adverse symptoms of taking Liuwei Dihuang Pills are: you feel energetic in the early stage of taking it, but feel weaker and weaker as time goes by, and your condition is worse than before taking the medicine.

People with kidney yin deficiency but poor spleen and stomach function

Liuwei Dihuang Pills are a yin-tonifying medicine. There are more yin-soft medicines in the formula, which will hinder digestion after taking. Middle-aged and elderly people generally have weak spleen and stomach functions, so they should be more cautious when taking the medicine. If you take it intermittently, the effect will not be significant; but if you take it continuously for a long time, it is not advisable.

According to Director Wei, an expert from Shaanxi Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Liuwei Dihuang Pills are sweet and warm in nature, tend to be yin-tonifying medicine, and are mainly used to treat kidney yin deficiency. Since there are more feminine medicines in the formula, it may sometimes hinder digestion after taking it. Therefore, people with weak spleen and stomach function and indigestion should take it with caution. If there is no obvious effect after taking it for two weeks, it may be that the medicine is not suitable for your condition. You can find a Chinese medicine doctor to diagnose your physical symptoms and choose the right medicine. Zhibai Dihuang Pills have the same effect as Liuwei Dihuang Pills. They can also treat excessive heat, such as hot palms and soles, dry mouth and throat, and red tip of the tongue. They have a heat-clearing effect. Before taking the medicine, you should consult a doctor first: whether you have kidney deficiency, whether it is kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency, whether you should take Liuwei Dihuang Pills, and how long to take it, and try to avoid physical discomfort caused by blind use of medicine.
