Kidney Essence Herb and Shi Wei are not the same medicine.
Currently there is no such Chinese herbal medicine as kidney essence herb, so kidney essence herb and stone wei are not the same kind of medicine, and the specific medication of stone wei needs to follow the doctor’s prescription.
Shi Wei is a Chinese herbal medicine made from the dried leaves of Lushan Shi Wei, Shi Wei or Stalked Shi Wei of the genus Shi Wei of the family of Shuilongbiao, with a sweet, bitter taste and slightly cold nature, which can be attributed to the lung and bladder meridians, and has the effects of diuretic and diaphoretic (to improve the problem of dripping urine and the problem of insufficient and inaccessible urination), clearing lungs and relieving cough, and cooling the blood and stopping hemorrhage.
This herb is suitable for the treatment of gonorrhea (increased frequency of urination, dribbling and astringent pain), metrorrhagia (excessive or dribbling menstruation), coughing and wheezing due to lung fever, bleeding due to blood heat and carbuncle (a type of venomous sore that occurs as an acute suppurative disease on the surface of the body, the limbs, and the internal organs) and other conditions. It should be contraindicated for use in cases of yin deficiency and absence of dampness-heat.
Specific medication matters concerning Shi Wei should be carried out under the guidance of a specialist, and should not be used without authorization. It should also be noted that the names of Chinese medicines should be consulted in authoritative books on Chinese medicine or with a professional physician, and should not trust folk remedies.
