In TCM practice, it addresses patterns presenting as lumbar weakness, dizziness, tinnitus, night sweats, and heat in palms and soles.

    2. What are the ingredients in Liu Wei Di Huang Wan?

    There are six herbs work together in a balanced way. Three herbs build strength: Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmannia) nourishes the kidneys, Shan Zhu Yu (Cornus) supports the liver, and Shan Yao (Dioscorea) helps the spleen. Three herbs drain excess: Ze Xie (Alisma) clears kidney turbidity, Mu Dan Pi (Moutan) clears liver heat, and Fu Ling (Poria) removes dampness. This balance of building and draining makes the formula work well.

    3. How do I choose among the Di Huang Wan family formulas?

    Start by looking at the pattern. Use Liu Wei for simple kidney yin deficiency. Use Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan when yin deficiency creates strong fire—you'll see more heat signs and heavier night sweats. Use Qi Ju Di Huang Wan for liver-kidney deficiency that affects the eyes. Use Mai Wei Di Huang Wan for lung-kidney yin deficiency with dry respiratory symptoms. Use Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan for kidney yang deficiency—this shows cold signs, not heat.

    4. Is Liu Wei Di Huang Wan safe for long-term use?

    Building yin usually takes time, so longer use is common. The formula's design—"three tonifying, three draining" —helps prevent stagnation that can happen with pure tonifying. This makes it suitable for ongoing use. Check in with patients regularly and adjust if you see slow digestion or dampness signs developing.
