The man has been taking Liuwei Dihuang pills for a long time, what did he get after three years?

Lao Liu is the boss of a company, and because he received a big project, the employees are working overtime, but compared with these young people, Lao Liu, who is over half a hundred years old, feels a little unbearable. Due to sitting for a long time and staying up late, he often felt back pain and fatigue, so he took the time to see a Chinese medicine doctor and diagnosed him with kidney yin deficiency.
In the first month of taking Liuwei Dihuang Pills, Lao Liu felt that his symptoms had improved and he was more energetic. So Lao Liu regarded Liuwei Dihuang Pill as a miracle medicine, and took it daily to nourish the body, and when he felt uncomfortable, he would take a few more pills, so that he would eat it for three years.

But recently, Lao Liu had symptoms of poor appetite, cold intolerance, and diarrhea, so he took some more Liuwei Dihuang pills, but he didn't expect it to get worse and worse. So he found a Chinese medicine practitioner again, but he didn't expect the doctor to tell him that his symptoms were caused by long-term use of Liuwei Dihuang pills.

What are the dangers of taking Liuwei Dihuang pills for a long time?


Liuwei Dihuang Pill is a medicine that nourishes kidney yin. If you feel dizzy, tinnitus, waist and knee soreness, and night sweats, you can take it twice a day for kidney yin deficiency after TCM syndrome differentiation, and it can take effect within a month, and you can stop using it when the symptoms disappear.

The medicinal materials composed of Liuwei Dihuang Pill itself are not toxic, but because Liuwei Dihuang Pill is cold, it cannot be taken for a long time, and it needs to be stopped for a week after taking it for a month, and the longest time cannot exceed half a year, otherwise it may lead to the following harms.

1. Deficiency of kidney yang

Liuwei Dihuang Pill contains a lot of sweet and cold medicines, which can nourish yin, but long-term use will cause damage to kidney yang, causing yang qi to lose the ability to warm the body, resulting in sensitivity to cold, cold hands and feet, and impaired kidney meridian warming function will also lead to waist symptoms, such as low back pain, backache, knee soreness, etc.

Kidney Yang also dominates the vaporization of water in the body, and when Kidney Yang is damaged, symptoms such as clear urine, excessive nocturia, and night sweats will occur. Deficiency of kidney yang can also lead to some systemic symptoms, such as fatigue, lack of energy, and listlessness.

2. Yang deficiency of the spleen and stomach

The deficiency of kidney yang caused by Liuwei Dihuang pill will also cause spleen and stomach yang deficiency. This is because the spleen transports the water valley and relies on the warming effect of kidney yang, and the kidney and spleen are coordinated and interdependent.

Yang deficiency in the spleen and stomach will first affect digestion and absorption, resulting in indigestion, stomach distention, decreased appetite, diarrhea or constipation, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms.

If kidney yang deficiency and spleen and stomach yang deficiency occur at the same time, that is, spleen and kidney deficiency, it will also cause water metabolism to slow down, resulting in more symptoms, such as edema.

3. Spleen deficiency and dampness

Kidney Yang is the foundation of the human body's vital activities. If the kidney yang is deficient, it will lead to the dysfunction of the spleen and stomach. The spleen and stomach are the key organs for water metabolism, and if the spleen and stomach are deficient in yang and cannot properly transport water and dampness, excessive moisture will accumulate in the body. At the same time, kidney yang deficiency will also lead to a deficiency of yang energy in the body, which cannot evaporate and excrete water in the body normally, and will also aggravate the accumulation of moisture in the body.

Spleen deficiency and dampness can lead to dry mouth, bad breath, bitter mouth, and a feeling of heavy body, weakness in hands and feet, shortness of breath, not wanting to speak, lack of energy, sticky skin, and edema on the face and body.


In short, Liuwei Dihuang Pill is a good medicine to tonify kidney yin, but even if it is good, it is still a drug, and taking it in large quantities for a long time will also have negative effects on the body, such as kidney yang deficiency, spleen and stomach yang deficiency, dampness, etc. In addition, it should also be noted that if you have spleen deficiency, yang deficiency, or are in the period of cold, you cannot use Liuwei Dihuang Pill, and if you have allergies after taking it, you should also stop taking it immediately.

It is recommended that you should not blindly follow the trend of any Chinese medicine, or take it without authorization. Before taking traditional Chinese medicine, it is necessary to find a professional Chinese medicine practitioner for syndrome differentiation and diagnosis, and then use the corresponding drugs for treatment, so as to ensure the greatest effectiveness and safety.
