Description

Zuo Gui Wan (Restore the Left [Kidney] Pill) is Zhang Jiebin's enriched Kidney Yin tonifying formula — a more intensive approach than Liu Wei Di Huang Wan. It removes the draining herbs from Liu Wei Di Huang Wan and adds more potent Yin and Essence tonics including Lu Jiao Jiao (deer antler glue) and Gui Ban Jiao (tortoise plastron glue). It is indicated for severe Kidney Yin and Essence deficiency.

Preparation

Honey pills. Dissolve Lu Jiao Jiao and Gui Ban Jiao separately in warm water and take with the pills, or incorporate into honey pills.

Dosage

Pills: 9g twice daily with warm water. Long-term use is often appropriate for severe deficiency.
