Functions and Effects of Liu Wei Di Huang Wan:
1. Nourish Yin and Tonify the Kidney: Liu Wei Di Huang Wan significantly improves symptoms caused by kidney yin deficiency, such as dizziness, tinnitus, soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, night sweats, and seminal emission. At the same time, it enhances the physiological function of the kidneys and improves the body's immunity.
2. Clear Deficiency Heat: Liu Wei Di Huang Wan helps eliminate internal deficiency heat and improves symptoms such as tidal fever due to bone steaming, heat in the palms and soles, night sweats, and short urination.
3. Lower Lipids and Blood Pressure: Liu Wei Di Huang Wan can reduce levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, and phospholipids while increasing high-density lipoprotein content, thereby improving lipid metabolism and preventing the occurrence of atherosclerosis.
4. Other Effects: Liu Wei Di Huang Wan also has various other functions such as nourishing blood and calming the mind, delaying aging, removing spots and beautifying the skin, and strengthening the waist and knees. It can invigorate qi and nourish blood, nourish yin and calm the mind, and help eliminate fatigue and tension.
Regarding suitable age groups, generally speaking, adults experiencing the above symptoms may consider taking this medicine, especially middle-aged and elderly individuals with kidney yin deficiency caused by decline in physiological functions. However, children and adolescents should generally not take it long-term unless there is a clear manifestation of kidney yin deficiency, and it should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
