The difference between huang jing and yuzhu is that the main treatment efficacy is different. The former has the effect of tonifying qi and nourishing yin, strengthening the spleen and moistening the lungs, and benefiting the kidneys, while the latter has the effect of nourishing yin and moistening dryness, and generating fluids to quench thirst (promoting the production of fluids to relieve thirst).
Although Huang Jing and Yu Zhu belong to the common clinical yin tonic drugs, both have a certain yin nourishing effect, but its main treatment effect still has some differences.
1. Huang Jing is the rhizome of the lily plant Huang Jing. It has the effect of nourishing lung yin and benefiting lung qi, and can be used to treat dry cough with little phlegm and prolonged cough; it also has the effect of tonifying spleen qi, and can be used to treat tiredness caused by weakness of the spleen and stomach (tiredness and weakness), and loss of appetite, etc. In addition, it also has the effect of tonifying the spleen qi;
