What is the best medicine for spleen deficiency and kidney deficiency?

For spleen deficiency and kidney weakness, traditional Chinese patent medicines such as Bu Zhong Yi Qi Wan, Liu Wei Di Huang Wan, Gui Pi Wan, Jin Kui Shen Qi Wan, and Shen Ling Bai Zhu San can be selected for regulation. Specific medication should be chosen based on syndrome differentiation according to symptoms. If severe fatigue, worsening soreness and weakness in the lower back and knees, or other discomforts occur, prompt medical evaluation is recommended for accurate diagnosis.

1. Bu Zhong Yi Qi Wan: Primarily strengthens the qi of the spleen and stomach. Suitable for individuals with predominant spleen deficiency accompanied by symptoms such as qi deficiency, fatigue, poor appetite, and loose stools. It enhances gastrointestinal digestive function and improves symptoms of qi deficiency.

2. Liu Wei Di Huang Wan: Mainly nourishes kidney yin. Appropriate for those with predominant kidney yin deficiency, presenting with soreness and weakness in the waist and knees, dizziness, tinnitus, tidal fever, and night sweats. It helps relieve various discomforts caused by insufficient kidney yin.

3. Gui Pi Wan: Addresses both spleen tonification and blood nourishment. Recommended for individuals with spleen deficiency and kidney weakness who also experience palpitations, insomnia, sallow complexion, and bodily lethargy. It improves qi and blood deficiency resulting from a weakened spleen.

4. Jin Kui Shen Qi Wan: Focuses on warming and reinforcing kidney yang. Best suited for those with predominant kidney yang deficiency, accompanied by cold intolerance, cold limbs, sore and painful lower back and knees, and clear, frequent urination. It strengthens kidney yang and alleviates symptoms of yang deficiency.

5. Shen Ling Bai Zhu San: Specializes in strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness. Ideal for individuals with spleen deficiency and kidney weakness who also have internal dampness, manifested as abdominal distension, sticky stools, and heavy limbs. It promotes spleen function and resolves dampness, improving conditions where dampness impairs the spleen.

Daily care should include maintaining regular作息 (daily routines), avoiding late nights that deplete spleen and kidney functions, consuming warm, easily digestible foods, and eating more spleen- and kidney-tonifying foods such as Chinese yam and coix seed. Engage in gentle exercises like walking, avoid overexertion, and maintain emotional balance to support recovery of spleen and kidney health.
