What are the Chinese patent medicines for treating liver and kidney deficiency?

Liver and kidney deficiency can have a great impact on patients, especially those with liver and kidney yin deficiency at a young age, which will have a great impact on their future life. If you want to regulate liver and kidney function, be sure not to use some tonic drugs, as this may have a counterproductive effect. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, liver and kidney deficiency requires slow adjustment. Today I would like to recommend to you several Chinese patent medicines that can treat liver and kidney deficiency.
