When Li Shibin entered the room, the teacher saw that he was wearing a blue satin dress, and he thought of a link: "three feet of sky blue satin.". After the teacher finished talking about the upper link, let him pair the lower link.

"Six flavors" to "three feet", "ground yellow" to "sky blue", "satin" to "pills", Li Shibin to the cut neatly, the teacher nodded his head in praise.

Liuwei Dihuang Pill is a pill made of cooked dihuang, dogwood (made), danpi, yam, poria and ze diarrhea.

Liuwei Dihuang Pill is from the Song Dynasty pediatric doctor Qian Yi's "Pediatric Medicine Certificate Straight Recipe", based on Zhang Zhongjing's "Golden Essentials" "Kidney Qi Pill", removed the guizhi and appendages.

It has become a famous remedy for tonifying kidney yin due to its remarkable effect on tonifying the body.

Chinese medicine believes that the kidneys are the essence of the innate, the basis of the yin and yang of the internal organs, and the source of life, so it is called the "innate essence". The essence of a body is the total source of a body of yin fluid. Loss of yin fluid can cause various diseases, such as dizziness and tinnitus, waist and knee soreness, bone steaming hot flashes, night sweats, thirst quenching (diabetes) and so on.
