The efficacy of Liuwei Dihuang Pills

The efficacy of Liuwei Dihuang Pills
Liuwei Dihuang Pills is a good medicine for nourishing kidney yin. I believe many of my friends have taken this medicine. The medicine is composed of six Chinese medicinal materials. So what are the specific effects of Liuwei Dihuang Pills? According to medical research, Liuwei Dihuang Pills have good effects in tonifying the kidney, lowering blood pressure, and resisting fatigue. Especially for middle-aged men, eating some Liuwei Dihuang Pills appropriately can have a good improvement effect.

Many friends in life have taken Liuwei Dihuang Pills, but they are not very clear about the specific effects of Liuwei Dihuang Pills. Liuwei Dihuang Pills are a yin-tonifying medicine, so people with kidney yin deficiency but poor spleen and stomach function should not take it.

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.

More suitable for kidney yin deficiency

Just from the claims of historical medical practitioners, it can be seen 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). For example, Rehmannia root can nourish kidney yin; Cornus officinalis can nourish both the liver and kidney, and achieve the purpose of nourishing the kidney by nourishing the liver; Chinese yam can strengthen the spleen and kidney, and nourish the acquired constitution by strengthening the spleen. 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.

Nowadays, people are under too much pressure in life, especially for male friends, who are prone to kidney deficiency problems. Therefore, after understanding the effects of Liuwei Dihuang Pills, middle-aged male friends can take it appropriately, but remember to remember not to overdose. In addition, it is not suitable for everyone, so everyone must follow the doctor's advice.
