The *Zhu Bing Yuan Hou Lun* states: When a person wets the bed during sleep without awareness, it is due to a constitution where Yin qi is excessive and Yang qi is deficient. This results in coldness of both the Bladder and Kidney Qi, failing to warm and control fluids, leading to polyuria or involuntary leakage.

Cut Hemp root bark (Dama Gen Pi) to 3 sheng, decoct in five sheng of water until one sheng and eight he remain; strain and divide into two doses, reducing the amount for children.
