Hello everyone, I am Dr. Ke of TCM. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is the innate foundation, the main essence of the essence, the division of opening and closing. The spleen is the foundation of the day after tomorrow, the main movement, and the division is clear. The spleen and stomach are the source of qi and blood biochemistry, and the health of the spleen depends on the warmth of the kidney yang. The essence in the kidneys also depends on the subtle nourishment of the water valley transported by the spleen, so that it can continue to fill and mature.
Today I want to share with you a classic prescription of traditional Chinese medicine for regulating spleen and kidney deficiency - Sishen Pill. This recipe comes from the Song Dynasty's "Taiping Huimin and Pharmacy Formula", which is composed of four traditional Chinese medicines: psoralen, nutmeg, schisandra, and dogwood. These four flavors of traditional Chinese medicine have the effect of warming the kidneys and helping yang, astringency and antidiarrheal, and can be combined to achieve the effect of tonifying the spleen and kidney, consolidating essence and stopping diarrhea.
I once met a patient, male, 45 years old, who was an executive at a company. Because of the high pressure of work, he often worked overtime and stayed up late, resulting in symptoms such as loss of appetite, loose stools, soreness in the waist and knees, and decreased sexual function. He went to the hospital for examination, but found no obvious organic lesions, and the doctor prescribed him some western medicine, but the effect was not good. When he heard that I was a Chinese medicine doctor, he came to see me.
After dialectic, I diagnosed him with spleen and kidney deficiency. I prescribed him the Four Divine Pills plus or minus prescriptions and let him take them for a month. A month later, when he returned to the follow-up appointment, his symptoms improved significantly, his appetite increased, his stools formed, his waist and knees were less sore, and his sexual function improved. He said to me, "Dr. Ke, you are truly my savior!" This recipe is amazing, I feel like a different person. ”
In fact, this recipe is not magical, it is just based on the theory and experience of Chinese medicine, and the right medicine is prescribed. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that spleen and kidney deficiency are the main causes of symptoms such as diarrhea, soreness in the waist and knees, and decreased sexual function. The Sishen Pill can just nourish the spleen and kidney, solidify the essence and stop diarrhea, so as to regulate the function of the spleen and kidney and restore the balance of the body.
Clinically, I have used Sishen Pill for many patients with spleen and kidney deficiency, and they have achieved good results. I think this recipe is a very good recipe for tonifying the spleen and strengthening the kidneys, which is worth learning and Xi promoting.
Of course, the Four Divine Pills are not a panacea, and it also has some contraindications and precautions. For example, patients with damp heat dysentery, damp heat diarrhea, and damp heat betting should not take it; Pregnant women should use with caution; Avoid eating irritating foods such as cold, greasy, and spicy foods during the period of taking the medicine; If you have an allergic reaction or adverse reaction, you should stop the drug immediately and seek medical attention.
In short, Sishen Pill is a very classic recipe for tonifying the spleen and strengthening the kidney, and it is suitable for symptoms such as spleen and kidney deficiency and diarrhea. If you have similar symptoms, you can take Sishen Pill under the guidance of your doctor, and I believe you will also feel the magic and charm of Chinese medicine like my patient.
