Liu Wei Di Huang Wan is from the book “The Straight Guide to Pediatric Medicine” written by Qian Yi, a famous pediatrician in the Northern Song Dynasty. The predecessor of this formula is the “Jin Kui Kidney Qi Pill” created by Zhang Zhong Jing, a medical sage of the Han Dynasty, also known as Gui Bai Di Huang Wan and Ba Wei Wan (another very famous kidney tonic). According to the characteristics of children’s growth and development, Qian B removed the two warm and dry products of cinnamon and sophora and created the Six Flavored Dihuang Pills, a famous formula for thousands of years, to treat congenital deficiencies and developmental delays in children. Dr. Qian certainly did not expect that the small changes made back then, through the development of later generations of doctors, became the famous formula for kidney supplementation, which would feed so many pharmaceutical companies and pharmacies a thousand years later, while bringing great benefits to men and, of course, many women are also beneficiaries of this medicine. Who is Liou Wei Di Huang Wan suitable for? The Six Flavors Dihuang Pill has the effect of nourishing Yin and tonifying the kidneys, so it is suitable for people who have a deficiency of Kidney Yin. People with kidney yin deficiency mostly manifest as soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, red cheekbones, hot flashes, night sweats, irritable and hot sweating of the hands and feet, dry mouth and throat but no desire to drink, seminal emission, impotence, premature ejaculation, etc. Some research data show that Liu Wei Di Huang Wan can treat as many as 137 diseases, including the most common ones such as hypertension, diabetes and menopausal syndrome. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that this drug has the effect of improving immunity, delaying aging and correcting sub-health, so a considerable number of people have been taking this drug as a health product for a long time. It is because of the wide range of effects of Liu Wei Di Huang Wan, can also treat impotence, premature ejaculation, so many men will take this drug, but do not know that Liu Wei Di Huang Wan is only effective for impotence, premature ejaculation caused by kidney yin deficiency, for other reasons (such as heart and kidney, kidney Yang deficiency) will not have a therapeutic effect, but sometimes aggravate the disease. What are the side effects of Liu Wei Di Huang Wan? It is a medicine with three toxins, and if the medicine is not right, it is more likely to produce adverse reactions. If a person who is not suffering from kidney yin deficiency takes Liu Wei Di Huang Wan, it will not only fail to achieve the therapeutic effect, but may also produce harmful effects on the body. For example, people with kidney yang deficiency have white face, fear of cold, cold limbs, easy to catch a cold, like hot drinks, etc. If you mistakenly take Liu Wei Di Huang Wan, it will aggravate the aforementioned symptoms; people with poor spleen and stomach function are usually prone to poor appetite, bloating, loose stools, Liu Wei Di Huang Wan is a medicine for yin, more nourishing will affect the spleen and stomach function, easily increase the burden on the spleen and stomach. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are taking this medication on their own or are planning to take it: 1. Healthy people who are planning to take this medication for health care should consult a Chinese medicine practitioner. Except for yin deficiency body, it is not recommended to take it for a long time, but can be taken occasionally and intermittently. If you don’t want to go to the hospital, some Chinese medicine stores have licensed herbalists to consult. 2.If you can’t find a herbalist to consult, please compare the symptoms described in the drug manual by yourself, and try to take it again when most of them match. 1~2 weeks of symptoms are not relieved, or new symptoms appear, please stop the drug immediately. 3. Suspend the use of Liu Wei Di Huang Wan during cold, diarrhea, fever, or when other diseases appear. Although Liu Wei Di Huang Wan can treat more than 100 kinds of diseases, its indications are patients who belong to kidney yin deficiency among the 100 kinds of diseases. So it is not a panacea for kidney supplementation (kidney deficiency can be classified as kidney qi deficiency, kidney yang deficiency, kidney yin deficiency, kidney essence deficiency, etc.). In view of this, I do not recommend men to take Lukewarm Dihuang Pills on their own.
