Can men take Liuwei Dihuang Pills for a long time?

When the human body has kidney weakness, it will affect many normal functions of the body. For example, sexual ability. In this case, the patient can use Liuwei Dihuang Pills for treatment. Timely and effective treatment can have a very good kidney-tonifying effect. It can well improve and enhance the symptoms of diseases caused by decreased kidney function. So can Liuwei Dihuang Pills be taken for a long time? Let us introduce it below.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is one of the five internal organs and is the "innate foundation" in the life activities of the human body. The "kidney" mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine is not a simple kidney entity, but also includes the functional activities of multiple systems and organs. Whether it is innate essence, acquired essence or reproductive essence, they are all stored in the kidney, which is used to maintain the growth, development and reproduction of the human body; the kidney governs water, that is, the distribution and excretion of water in the human body; the kidney governs bones and produces marrow, and is connected to the brain, that is, it dominates the texture of bones, the activities of joints, and the filling of bone marrow and brain marrow; the kidney governs the intake of air, that is, it absorbs and utilizes the fresh air inhaled by the lungs to replenish the vital energy; the kidney opens to the ear, and its beauty is in the hair, that is, it maintains the hearing of the ear and the growth and moisture of the hair. The kidney mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine is closely related to the reproductive system, urinary system, skeletal system, nervous system, respiratory system, and ears, hair, teeth, genitals and other tissues and organs. Once the kidney is abnormal (kidney deficiency), a series of pathological changes will occur accordingly. In addition, the kidney is divided into kidney yin and kidney yang. Kidney yin refers to the material basis such as kidney essence, and kidney yang refers to the functional activities of the kidney. Therefore, kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency are two completely different diseases, and there are fundamental differences in treatment methods.

Like other medicines, taking Liuwei Dihuang Pills may also cause some adverse reactions, and there are certain contraindications. Adverse reactions are manifested as chest tightness, abdominal distension, fire stickiness, tastelessness, decreased appetite, loose stools, etc. The reason is that the nature of cooked Rehmannia in the prescription is too greasy. If Xiangsha Zhishu Pills or Xiangsha Yangwei Pills are taken at the same time, the above adverse reactions can be reduced or eliminated. There are three main contraindications: First, people with cold, fever, abdominal pain and diarrhea should not take the medicine even if they have symptoms of kidney yin deficiency, because Liuwei Dihuang Pills are a tonic product with the disadvantage of expelling evil. Taking it at this time may easily lead to closing the door and keeping the enemy in, and it must be taken after the evil is eliminated and the disease is cured; second, people with excessive phlegm, cough, abdominal distension, loose stools, and white greasy tongue coating should not take the medicine, because these patients have excessive phlegm and dampness in the body, and taking the medicine will not only be useless, but will aggravate the condition; third, people with kidney yang deficiency, sore waist and knees, frequent urination, loose stools, cold limbs and fear of cold should not take the medicine, because people with kidney yang deficiency should use the method of warming and nourishing kidney yang, and taking Liuwei Dihuang is tantamount to adding insult to injury.

Although Liuwei Dihuang Pills can have a good effect on strengthening the kidneys and improving sexual ability, Liuwei Dihuang Pills is still a medicine after all. If used for a long time, it will cause great harm to the human body and may even have the opposite effect. Therefore, Liuwei Dihuang Pills should be used within a short period of time.
