This therapy has the same objective as acupuncture and many other Chinese therapies, which is to rebalance our Qi in our body to cure illnesses and improve your energy.

Liu Wei Di Huang Wan: 

 

Liu Wei Di Huang Wan nourishes the Liver-Kidney Yin and favors the Kidney. This provides more energy to the body. A deficiency in the liver in women can cause problems with the menstrual cycle, poor menstruation, amenorrhea etc. In the case of men, it can cause spermatozoa, and premature ejaculation (Activeherb 2016).

 

I have a deficiency in the liver that is why I have problems in my menstrual cycle.
