Guest guest Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 I have been taking Shou Wu Pills for my hair and also Two Immortals for kidney yin and yang deficiency for the last one month. My hair condition has improved for which I give credit to Shou Wu Pills. But for the last one week I have disturbed sleep after 2:30 am and also sweating around my neck. I stopped taking both and night sweating stopped within 24 hours but sleep remains disturbed. Which of the two formula is the source of my problems. I suspect Two Immortals is the cause of sleep problem and night sweating. After sometime when my sleep improves I will again start with Shou Wu pills and see if it impacts sleep, if not then Two Immortals could be the cause. Would appreciate comments. Regards.

It has some warm herbs in there. It also has some cool herbs to balance it out, but if you don't need Two Immortals, but rather a yin tonic such as Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Rehmannia Six Pills) then you're going to suffer from heat symptoms. He Shou Wu is slightly warm, but it also nourishes Liver blood which should address insomnia, not create it. -- , DAOM Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

So, that's just an assessment of temperatures. I still think that the Two Immortals formula is more likely because it has the function of increasing Kidney Yang (internal warmth) even though it also removes deficiency heat, I believe this is your culprit. The He Shou Wu formula is I believe less potent, meaning less likely to be causing the problems, but again, theory isn't as important as your own body's response. So give up one, then the other, and you tell us which it was that was causing the problems... -al. -- , DAOM Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
