What is Plum Flower – Six Flavor Rehmannia (Liu Wei Di Huang Wan)?
Plum Flower – Six Flavor Rehmannia (Liu Wei Di Huang Wan) is one of the most important Chinese Herbal Medicine formulas for addressing Kidney and Liver yin deficiency and is often used to address gynecological concerns such as menopause, fatigue, menstrual irregularities, and insomnia. Its applicability, however, is far broader than simply helping regulate women’s health concerns.

- Fatigue/tiredness
- Weak or sore knees
- Lower back pain or weakness
- Tinnitus (ringing in the ear, occasional or frequent)
- Dizziness or vertigo
- Nocturnal emission
- Frequent urination
- Flushed face/cheeks
- Insomnia with waking throughout the night
- Night sweats (For severe night sweats, please see Da Bu Yin Wan, also in this category)
- Blurry vision or worsening vision
- A feeling of heat/feverishness in the afternoon or evening
- A feeling of heat in the palms and soles
- Tinnitus
** This formula can be helpful for pets (dogs or cats) with Kidney disease or urinary incontinence
