Its mechanism of action is the same and different, and at the same time, the "three tonics" are used to "seek yang in the yin", and the difference is the "three diarrhea" drugs and filling in the fine matching and trade-offs of the boutique. This paper aims to compare and analyze the characteristics of the combination of kidney qi pill and Right Return pill and modern molecular mechanism. In order to provide reference for the advantages of these two directions to study the drug and compatibility mechanism.
