Is it okay to take Liu Wei Di Huang Wan for a prolonged period due to excessive masturbation?
Masturbation refers to self-stimulation. Generally speaking, if one engages in long-term masturbation but does not have kidney yin deficiency, it is not recommended to take Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Six-Flavor Rehmannia Pill). However, if symptoms of kidney yin deficiency are present, taking Liu Wei Di Huang Wan may help alleviate these symptoms.
Liu Wei Di Huang Wan is primarily used to treat symptoms caused by kidney yin deficiency, such as soreness and weakness of the lower back and knees, tinnitus or hearing loss, night sweats, and seminal emission. If someone engages in long-term masturbation and develops these symptoms, it may indicate the presence of kidney yin deficiency, and under a physician's guidance, taking an appropriate dosage of Liu Wei Di Huang Wan may help regulate body functions.
If long-term masturbation does not lead to obvious symptoms of kidney yin deficiency, or if the symptoms present are not due to kidney yin deficiency but rather other conditions such as kidney yang deficiency or spleen deficiency with dampness excess, taking Liu Wei Di Huang Wan might worsen the condition due to its relatively cool nature. If serious chronic diseases exist or other medications are currently being taken, Liu Wei Di Huang Wan should not be used without consulting a physician, to avoid potential drug interactions that may affect health.
It is recommended to change unhealthy lifestyle habits, maintain a balanced diet, engage in appropriate physical activity, and promote overall health.
