Additionally, it can enhance the body’s immunity, thereby aiding in the resolution of psoriasis lesions and the restoration of overall resistance. 35. Vitiligo: This is a skin disease characterized by acquired loss of pigmentation. Liuwei Dihuang Wan has the effects of tonifying the liver and kidneys, nourishing essence and blood, and moisturizing the skin. Modern research suggests that this substance treats this condition by enhancing the body’s cellular immunity, thereby activating tyrosine and accelerating its role in catalyzing the production of melanin. It also promotes the division and movement of melanocytes, allowing the pigment in the white patches to gradually fade away. The usage is 2 times a day, 9–18 grams each time, with a treatment course lasting 3–6 months. It is highly effective. 36. Hair loss: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that hair is a byproduct of the kidneys; when kidney yin is insufficient and there is a lack of essence and blood, the hair loses its nourishment and begins to fall out continuously.

Generally, it is taken 2 times a day, 9–18 grams each time, with 3 months constituting one course of treatment. It’s quite effective. 38. Riehl’s melanosis: This is a type of reticular pigmentation disorder that occurs on the face, characterized by patches of pigmented skin in light brown, dark brown, and grayish-black colors. It can also appear on the forehead and both sides of the neck. This condition is similar to the dark spots mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this is caused by a deficiency of kidney yin and water, along with excessive fire, which leads to a shortage of essence and blood and an inability to nourish the skin. Additionally, exposure to sunlight and cosmetics exacerbates this condition, damaging yin and the skin and thus triggering this disease. Take Liuwei Dihuang Pills twice daily, 9–18 grams each time. One treatment course lasts for 3 months. It is effective. 39. Eye diseases: Patients with senile cataract who take Liuwei Dihuang Wan can see a significant improvement in their vision, as well as relief from symptoms such as blurred vision and lens opacity.
