hervoyel Posted November 17, 2010 Hello all, I'd like to know if anyone could confirm the correctness of my translation of the attached file (in chinese). It is the label of Ba Di Huang Wan (Eight-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia), which are pills used in TCM. I am interested in the section on the dosage, and I believe it says to take 10 pills twice a day in a glas of salted water. But my chinese is limited, and I'm not 100% sure... Thanks!

dawei Posted November 18, 2010 If you looking to copy the chinese, some of it can be gotten from here: http://www.ccmp.gov.tw/information/license_detail.asp?id=03&num=010940&relno=513 This appears to be for Kidney Yang deficiency. 肾阳虚弱 You can't just search for this pill by name since there are two varieties (for Kidney Yin or Yang deficiency). The bottle said to take morning and evening in diluted salt, warm water. 20 pills each time. 早晚淡盐汤送服 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
exorcist_1699 Posted November 18, 2010 As Dawei stated , it is: 20 pills twice per day . I think the key for people to use such well-prepared dose of TCM(中成葯) is that they understand what symptoms the dose targets at ; in this case , whether it is the deficiency in Kidney 's yang or yin .

hervoyel Posted November 18, 2010 Thank you very much chaps! It is actually for my own use. My gf brought the pills from Taiwan, after telling a local TCM practitioner that I suffer from a slight erectile dysfunction, which is actually the case. She was given those pills, but before taking them I wanted to double-check the dosage... Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dawei Posted November 18, 2010 This eight ingredient pill is said to be stronger than the popular six ingredient pill for men. So I would be careful with the dosage. Personally I would probably take 10 each time at first and see how my body reacted. Pay attention to your kidneys, lower back and reproduction area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
