Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill is a traditional Chinese patent medicine composed of multiple herbal ingredients including Rehmannia Root, Cornus Fruit, Chinese Yam, Tree Peony Bark, Poria, and Plantain Seed. It is primarily used for nourishing Yin and supplementing the kidneys, providing certain relief for various symptoms.

Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill demonstrates certain therapeutic effects on symptoms such as soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, dizziness, and tinnitus. This formula nourishes kidney Yin, enriches essence, and thereby improves symptoms caused by kidney Yin deficiency. In the formula, prepared Rehmannia nourishes the blood and Yin while enriching essence, Cornus Fruit benefits the liver and kidneys and helps retain essence, and Chinese Yam strengthens the spleen and stomach, generates body fluids to benefit the lungs, and supports kidney function while checking seminal emission.

With advancing age, the body's kidney essence gradually diminishes, leading to a decline in bodily functions. Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill helps nourish kidney essence, delay the aging process, maintain health, and improve the quality of life in middle-aged and elderly individuals. Additionally, Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill can be used to treat symptoms such as vertigo, hot flashes, night sweats, nocturnal emission, and excessive thirst, as well as to improve conditions associated with recurrent oral ulcers and bronchial asthma.

However, Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill is not suitable for all individuals, and its use should be based on individual constitution and medical condition, under the guidance of a physician.
