"Liu Wei Di Huang Wan is a classical formula with many modern applications including diabetes, impotence, glomerulonephritis, hyperthyroidism, chronic nephritis, and chronic hepatitis. It is also useful, in terms of modern physiology, for reducing excess adrenal cortisol produced by stress. Its original application was as a pediatric formula for any of the five ""delays"": standing, walking, hair growth, teeth development, and speech. It is based on Zhang Zhongjing's Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan dating back to 220. Variations of this formula are also available as Mai Wai Di Huang Wan, Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan, Er Ming Zuo Ci Wan, Ming Mu Di Huang Wan, and Qi Ji Di Huang Wan.
