Many people with kidney deficiency find that taking Wuzi Yanzong Pills is ineffective and may even lead to symptoms such as internal heat, dark urine, nocturnal emissions, and insomnia. Traditional Chinese Medicine suggests that this may be due to the medicine not matching the symptoms. Today, I will teach you how to use Wuzi Yanzong Pills correctly.

Firstly, if there is damp-heat in the lower jiao, symptoms such as premature ejaculation, dampness in the perineal area, frequent and urgent urination may occur. If you directly supplement the kidneys while damp-heat is present in the lower jiao, you may suppress this damp-heat, worsening your condition. In this case, it is necessary to clear the damp-heat from the lower jiao before proceeding with kidney supplementation.

The second is phlegm-dampness. The spleen and stomach can transform and absorb ingested medication, and the spleen is the acquired foundation, while the kidneys are the innate foundation. The robust growth of the innate foundation relies on nourishment from the acquired foundation. If phlegm-dampness is obstructing the spleen at this point, it is necessary to first strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness, as well as dry dampness and transform phlegm. Erchen Wan (Two Cured Pills) can be considered as a reference. Once the phlegm-dampness is eliminated, Wuzi Yanzong Wan (Five-Seed Progeny Pills) can be used to tonify the kidneys.

Thirdly, traditional Chinese medicine believes that essence and blood share the same source. If you have kidney deficiency along with deficiency of qi and blood, simply tonifying kidney essence may not be very effective. Such patients may also experience symptoms such as easily becoming fatigued, frequent sweating, dizziness and weakness, and a reluctance to speak. Bazhen Tang (Eight Treasure Decoction) can be referenced to tonify qi and blood. Once qi and blood are sufficient, Wuzi Yanzong Wan (Five-Seed Progenity Pills) can be considered as a reference to tonify the kidneys.

Remind everyone that traditional Chinese medicine medication requires syndrome differentiation. If needed, please consult and seek treatment from a professional doctor promptly.
