There are two possible reasons for excessive urination when taking tonic medicines: the medicine is not suitable for the patient or the medicine is mainly used to nourish yin. It is recommended to take tonic medicines under the guidance of a Chinese medicine practitioner.
Tonic medicines can be divided into four categories: qi tonic, blood tonic, yin tonic and yang tonic, and sometimes there are qi and blood tonic (qi and blood tonic together), yin and yang tonic tonic medicines. Taking tonic medicines will alleviate the symptoms of qi deficiency, blood deficiency, yin deficiency, yang deficiency and other related symptoms, and will not have the abnormal reaction of excessive urination.
The first thing to consider is that the medicine is not the right one, the person taking the medicine is not suitable for the use of tonic medicine, such as kidney yin deficiency misuse of tonic drugs may appear to urinate more. It is also possible that the specific composition of the tonic, to nourish the yin drugs, may also appear to urinate more than the reaction of the drug.
If you are taking tonic medicine and have excessive urination, it is recommended that you stop taking the medicine and go to the Chinese medicine department to clarify whether you need to take tonic medicine and what kind of tonic medicine you need to take, and do not take tonic medicine at your own discretion.
