Zuogui Wan can treat symptoms caused by kidney yin deficiency, such as soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, dizziness, tinnitus, seminal emission, nocturnal emission, spontaneous sweating, night sweats, dry mouth, and sore throat. Additionally, Zuogui Wan helps regulate the reproductive system, improve menstrual irregularities and infertility, enhance immunity, improve memory, and relieve fatigue. Regarding the applicable population, Zuogui Wan is primarily suitable for individuals with kidney yin deficiency, including middle-aged and elderly people, those with weak constitutions, and patients experiencing the aforementioned symptoms due to kidney yin deficiency. Zuogui Wan is not suitable for everyone; especially patients with spleen deficiency prone to diarrhea should use it cautiously.
