Sihaiwang: speaking of "Liuwei Dihuang Pill", I believe many people know it. Especially older people. Many men always doubt their kidney deficiency. Kidney deficiency will have to be filled. At this time, people often think of using the kidney tonic 'Liuwei Dihuang pill', taking several pills sooner or later to fill the kidney, treating diseases and strengthening the body without diseases, but is it really good to do so?
Liuwei Dihuang Pill originated from Jinkui Shenqi Pill (Guifu Dihuang pill) written by Zhang Zhongjing. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Cheng Qian Yi, a great doctor, created a famous prescription for nourishing kidney yin, Liuwei Dihuang pill, which was originally named "Dihuang yuan". It was composed of six kinds of traditional Chinese medicines, namely, prepared Dihuang, Cornus officinalis, yam, Poria cocos, Alisma and peony bark. It is the basic prescription for the treatment of kidney yin deficiency. It is mainly used for the symptoms of waist and knee tenderness, dizziness and tinnitus, fever of hands and feet, and night sweat caused by kidney yin deficiency.
In recent years, information about kidney and tonifying kidney has been bombarded on the Internet. In a wide range of Chinese patent medicine markets, Liuwei Dihuang Pill seems to be a magic medicine for all kinds of diseases, almost becoming a necessary health care product for families. Many people buy Liuwei Dihuang Pill by themselves without syndrome differentiation and diagnosis by traditional Chinese medicine, and take it for a long time. Some patients find a western medicine doctor to prescribe Liuwei Dihuang pill, but most of the western medicine teachers do not have a deep understanding of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, so it is difficult to use it correctly. Therefore, the abuse of Liuwei Dihuang pill is quite common.
It's the third poison of medicine. Misuse of Liuwei Dihuang pill will not only do nothing to the disease, but will aggravate the original condition or hurt the body. Some people eat it for a long time, but feel more and more deficiency, some of the original symptoms are more and more serious, some even 'make up' gastrointestinal discomfort, some diabetes patients abuse Liuwei Dihuang pill and cause blood sugar rising. In fact, Liuwei Dihuang pill can't be eaten blindly because it has very clear indications and contraindications.
So, under what circumstances can't we take Liuwei Dihuang pill?
