Traditional Actions and Indications
Traditionally used for manifestations associated with Kidney Yin deficiency, such as soreness and weakness of the lower back and knees, dizziness and tinnitus, dry mouth and throat, tidal fever, and night sweating. In modern applications, it is often used as a traditional Chinese medicine pattern-differentiation formula and does not correspond to a general-purpose medicine for any single disease.

- People with chronic kidney disease or diabetes, or those taking multiple medications, should consult a doctor first.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women, children, and older adults are advised to consult a qualified professional before use.
