Introduction
Huirén Shènbǎo Tablets are primarily indicated for Kidney Yang Deficiency syndrome and are commonly used in combination with Liuwei Dihuang Pills. Symptoms of Kidney Yin Deficiency syndrome are predominantly “heat”-related, such as restlessness of the five centers (i.e., palms, soles, and chest), heat sensation in the hands and feet, dark yellow urine, early menstruation, soreness and weakness of the lower back and knees, nocturnal emission or premature ejaculation in males, etc. In contrast, Kidney Yang Deficiency is characterized by coldness of the hands and feet and cold limbs. Liuwei Dihuang Pills are used to treat Kidney Yin Deficiency, Yougui Pills are used for Kidney Yang Deficiency, and Fugui Dihuang Pills (also known as Buzhong Dihuang Pills) are also indicated for Kidney Yang Deficiency.
Kidney deficiency is a common condition today. In daily life, many people frequently engage in masturbation, excessive sexual activity, or stay up late. When the body exceeds its physiological tolerance under such circumstances, various health problems may arise. Patients with kidney deficiency often exhibit symptoms such as dizziness, tinnitus, and fatigue. However, kidney deficiency is broadly categorized into kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency. So, does Huiren Shenbao Tablets treat kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency?
Does Huiren Shenbao Tablets treat kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency?
Huiren Shenbao Tablets are primarily indicated for kidney yang deficiency syndrome and are commonly used in combination with Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Rehmannia Six Formula). Symptoms of kidney yin deficiency are predominantly “heat-related,” including restlessness of the five centers (palms, soles, and chest), heat sensation in the hands and feet, dark yellow urine, early menstruation, weakness and soreness in the lower back and knees, nocturnal emission, and premature ejaculation in men. In contrast, kidney yang deficiency is characterized by cold sensations—particularly cold hands and feet, and general aversion to cold. Liuwei Dihuang Wan is used to treat kidney yin deficiency, Yougui Wan (Right-Returning Pill) and Fugui Dihuang Wan (Cinnamon-Rehmannia Formula) are employed for kidney yang deficiency.
The main ingredients include Epimedium (Yinyanghuo), Trigonella foenum-graecum (Huluba), Rosa laevigata (Jinyingzi), Rehmannia glutinosa (Dihuang), Psoralea corylifolia (Buguzhi), Cnidium monnieri (Shechuangzi), Polygonum multiflorum (He Shou Wu), Cistanche deserticola (Roucongrong), Lycium barbarum (Gouqizi), Cuscuta chinensis (Tusizi), Schisandra chinensis (Wuweizi), Rubus idaeus (Fupenzi), Astragalus membranaceus (Huangqi), Panax ginseng (Hongshen), Atractylodes macrocephala (Baizhu), Dioscorea opposita (Shanyao), Poria cocos (Fuling), Angelica sinensis (Danggui), Ligusticum chuanxiong (Chuanxiong), Foeniculum vulgare (Xiao Hui Xiang), Plantago asiatica (Cheqianzi), and honey-fried Glycyrrhiza uralensis (Zhi Gancao). Shenbao Tablets effectively treat kidney yang deficiency; however, medications must be prescribed according to the specific pattern—using an inappropriate formula is no less harmful than administering a toxic substance.
If you notice any disease-related symptoms in daily life, seek timely medical evaluation and actively cooperate with your physician’s treatment plan. We hope this response has been helpful to you.
