“I eat several Liuwei Dihuang pills every day, and my body feels great!”
Lao Li has been selling his health secret to others recently. To explain why he is so obsessed with Liuwei Dihuang pills, we need to go back to last year. Lao Li used to suffer from some liver diseases, not too severe but couldn’t be completely cured. Sometimes he took medication for a month, and the symptoms would recur the next month. He heard that “medicine is three parts poison,” and the side effects of western medicine are significant, which made him lose faith in western medicine. This situation continued until last year when he learned from an old Chinese doctor that Liuwei Dihuang pills can treat liver diseases. With a skeptical attitude, Lao Li bought some to try at home. After a period of time, he found that his kidneys had indeed improved, and he no longer felt as sick as before.
Since then, Lao Li has become a loyal fan of Liuwei Dihuang pills, recommending them to everyone. He promotes this traditional Chinese medicine as a remedy for diseases and a tonic for good health, almost like a miraculous cure. But what exactly are the Liuwei Dihuang pills he talks about? Are the effects really that good?
Liuwei Dihuang pills can tonify the kidneys.
Due to the severe trend of 996 overtime work, many young people face the risk of overwork. Excessive physical exertion can deplete the liver’s vitality. Nowadays, many young people have some degree of kidney health problems. If you feel tired, sweaty hands and feet, and limbs weak, it may be a sign of kidney deficiency. The Chinese medicinal ingredients in Liuwei Dihuang pills have the function of nourishing the kidneys. Regular intake can protect kidney health and strengthen the body.
Liuwei Dihuang pills can protect the liver.
Liuwei Dihuang pills can also protect our liver, especially when the liver is damaged to a certain extent. Taking Liuwei Dihuang pills can nourish and protect the liver. Many people have the habit of drinking alcohol, which is a “poison” that damages the liver. People who drink regularly may have varying degrees of liver damage. In this case, under a doctor’s guidance, buying and taking some Liuwei Dihuang pills can help reduce the damage caused by alcohol to the liver.
Liuwei Dihuang pills can improve vascular health.
With the aging population, the prevalence of “three highs” is becoming more severe. Many people have varying degrees of high blood pressure. Liuwei Dihuang pills have the effect of dilating blood vessels, reducing pressure on the blood vessel walls when blood flows through, thereby improving vascular health to some extent.
Liuwei Dihuang pills are a common traditional Chinese medicine that indeed has a good effect on liver protection and health. Especially for patients with not too severe illnesses, taking western medicine may have side effects that can harm the body. This group of people can reasonably take some Liuwei Dihuang pills under a doctor’s guidance. It can promote health without causing a significant burden on the body. However, following Lao Li’s practice is not advisable. Although Liuwei Dihuang pills have minimal side effects, long-term use can still have a certain impact on the body.
Long-term use can affect the digestive system.
Some Chinese medicinal ingredients in Liuwei Dihuang pills can weaken the digestive function of the spleen and stomach. This can cause symptoms such as decreased appetite and indigestion. Many elderly people have some digestion problems, blindly recommending this may worsen their condition and even harm intestinal health to a certain extent.
Liuwei Dihuang pills must be taken under a doctor’s guidance.
The reason why Lao Li can take them for a long time without issues is because of his good gastrointestinal digestion ability and taking them under a doctor’s guidance. It’s understandable to want to share good things, but blindly recommending them is unnecessary. “Medicine is three parts poison,” there is a big difference between medicine and food. Even if the body is healthy, eating apples daily is beneficial. Still, there is no concept of taking medicine daily without a specific illness. No matter if it’s Chinese or Western medicine, this principle applies universally.
Actually, Lao Li’s mistake is common, existing commonly around us. Don’t believe it? This article proves it to you.
Banlangen might also be considered harmless traditional Chinese medicine by many people. Some even brew Banlangen as a tea or coffee and drink it casually. This is because Banlangen has minimal side effects and certain medicinal value. In people’s minds, Banlangen is a health-preserving medicine that is not harmful to the body after consumption.
You might have this kind of thinking, but it’s a mistaken idea.
Banlangen belongs to a cold natured medicinal herb. Prolonged consumption by people with gastrointestinal diseases may stimulate the diseased parts, causing diarrhea, abdominal distension, and even exacerbating stomach diseases. People with kidney yang deficiency should also avoid taking Banlangen. Those with yang deficiency have insufficient internal fire. If stimulated by Banlangen, it will only worsen the deficiency, causing more trouble.
Some specific populations may have allergic reactions to Banlangen. If you experience an allergic reaction after taking Banlangen, drink plenty of water, reach deep into the throat with your fingers, and induce vomiting to expel the consumed Banlangen.
“Liuwei Dihuang pills, Banlangen,” these popular traditional Chinese medicines to some extent reflect the advancement of traditional Chinese medicine. Western medicine may be effective but has significant side effects, not meeting the health needs of middle-aged and elderly people. Traditional Chinese medicine can make up for this shortcoming. By consuming some Chinese medicine regularly, minor illnesses can be nipped in the bud to prevent them from turning into major problems. Still, when taking Liuwei Dihuang pills, one must follow the doctor’s advice and not consider them as harmless “miraculous medicines!”
