Sometimes, health issues in our body accumulate gradually. If you've recently been feeling dizzy, with blurred vision, lacking energy, experiencing soreness and weakness in the waist and legs, sweating profusely at night, and even noticing problems in *that area*, then you should be vigilant—this could indicate that your body's essence and blood are nearly depleted!

At this point, if you want to replenish your essence and blood, the key is to start with the liver and kidneys. Why is that? According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the liver stores blood, and the kidneys store essence; essence and blood can mutually transform. The essence in the kidneys can convert into blood in the liver, and the blood in the liver can transform into essence in the kidneys. It's like a household piggy bank: if money is lacking on one side, it gets transferred from the other to make up for it. If you stay up late frequently, worry excessively, and face high stress for prolonged periods, the essence and blood in your liver and kidneys can become overly depleted. Your body then becomes like a car without fuel, leading to various ailments.

Today, I'd like to share with you an inconspicuous Chinese patent medicine—Shouwu Wan (Polygonum Multiflorum Pill). This medication is effective whether you're dealing with liver deficiency, kidney deficiency, both liver and kidney deficiency, or insufficient essence and blood. Although it contains polygonum multiflorum in its name, it actually consists of a "combination punch" of 13 herbs. Let's delve into the details.

First, Polygonum Multiflorum (He Shou Wu) is specifically used to nourish essence and blood, much like replenishing the body's energy. It's particularly suitable for those with thinning hair or excessive hair loss, and it also helps strengthen the bones and tendons. Black Sesame (Hei Zhi Ma) can nourish the liver and kidneys, making it appropriate for conditions like dry mouth and skin caused by liver and kidney yin deficiency. Prepared Rehmannia Root (Shu Di Huang) helps replenish yin and blood in the body, making it ideal for those with essence depletion and blood deficiency.

Dodder Seed (Tu Si Zi) has the effects of tonifying the liver and kidneys, securing essence, and reducing urination. Glossy Privet Fruit (Nv Zhen Zi) and Eclipta Prostrata (Mo Han Lian) not only darken hair but also improve eyesight, cool the blood, and stop bleeding. Achyranthes Root (Niu Xi) tonifies the liver and kidneys, strengthens bones and tendons, and activates blood circulation to resolve stasis. It's suitable for conditions such as soreness in the waist and legs or joint pain caused by liver and kidney deficiency. Psoralea Fruit (Bu Gu Zhi) tonifies kidney yang and can improve symptoms like fear of cold, fatigue, and cold hands and feet due to kidney yang deficiency.

Cherokee Rose Fruit (Jin Ying Zi) secures essence, reduces urination, astringes the intestines, and stops diarrhea. It helps consolidate scattered essence and prevents further leakage from the body. Siegesbeckia Herb (Xi Xian Cao) dispels wind-dampness, unblocks meridians, clears heat, and detoxifies, making it effective for joint pain and stiff tendons caused by liver and kidney deficiency, which allows wind and damp pathogens to invade. Honeysuckle Flower (Jin Yin Hua) and Mulberry Leaf (Sang Ye) clear heat. It's important to note that excessive tonification can easily lead to deficiency fire, such as dry mouth, dry eyes, or facial acne. These two herbs help clear heat from the upper body.

These over ten medicinal ingredients work together, replenishing essence and blood, clearing waste, and unblocking meridians, gradually filling the body's depleted areas. However, I'd like to remind everyone that this article is for educational purposes only. If you're unsure about your condition, it's best to seek treatment under the guidance of a physician's syndrome differentiation!
