脾气不足,小便淋沥,常有余滴不尽者,此方主之。
经曰∶壮者气行则愈,怯者着而成病。是以房劳老弱之人,多有此疾。补可以去弱,故
用人参、茯苓。滑可以去着,故用琥珀、归梢。泻可以去闭,故用泽泻、生甘草。用柴胡者,
使之升其陷下之清阳。用玄胡、川楝者使之平其敦阜之浊气。煎以长流水者,取其就下之意
也。
叙曰∶精浊,肾之液也。所以精浊者,心为之也,一动其心,而天君摇摇,则精浊走失
矣。所谓主不明,则十二官危,以此养生则殆是也。故欲养其身者,先正其心。今考名方六
首,外来之药耳。若能正其心,则吾身之大丹也。

精浊者,此方主之。
精浊与便浊不同,便浊是便溺混浊,即前之膏淋也,乃是胃中湿热,渗入膀胱,与肾经
绝无相干。精浊则牵丝粘腻,虽不便溺,亦是有之,此是肾水不足,淫火易动,精离其位,
故令渐渍而出耳。治此者,宜滋肾清心,健脾固脱。是方也,枸杞、熟地、当归,味浓者也,
可以滋阴,滋阴则足以制阳光;金樱、莲须、芡实,味涩者也,可以固脱,固脱则无遗失。
石莲肉苦寒,可以清心,心清则淫火不炽。白茯苓甘平,可以益土,益土则制肾邪。则山楂
肉者,又所以消阴分之障碍也。

Decoct with long-flowing water.
For insufficiency of Spleen Qi, causing dribbling urination with frequent residual drops not emptying, this formula is indicated.
The Classic states: "In robust individuals, disease heals when Qi flows freely; in the timid/weak, pathogenic factors adhere and cause disease." Therefore, those who overexert themselves sexually or are elderly and weak often suffer from this ailment. Tonification can address weakness, hence Ren Shen and Fu Ling are used. Slippery methods can remove adherence, hence Hu Po and Dang Gui Shao are used. Draining methods can remove obstruction, hence Ze Xie and Sheng Gan Cao are used. Chai Hu is employed to raise the sinking clear Yang. Yan Hu Suo and Chuan Lian Zi are used to pacify the excessive turbid Qi. Decocting with long-flowing water is chosen for its meaning of following the downward trend.
Narration: Jing Zhuo (turbid essence) is the fluid of the Kidney. The reason for Jing Zhuo lies in the Heart. Once the Heart moves, and the Tian Jun (Emperor Mind/Heart Spirit) becomes unstable, then Jing Zhuo will leak out. As stated, "If the Ruler is unclear, the Twelve Officials are in danger"; using such a state for health preservation is perilous. Thus, to nourish the body, one must first rectify the Heart. Now examining six famous formulas, they are merely external medicines. If one can rectify the Heart, that is the Great Elixir within our own body.
Gou Qi Zi, Jin Ying Zi, Shan Zha Rou, Shi Lian Rou, Lian Hua Xu, Shu Di Huang, Qian Shi Fen, Bai Fu Ling, Chuan Dang Gui (equal parts).
This formula is indicated for Jing Zhuo.
Jing Zhuo differs from Bian Zhuo. Bian Zhuo refers to turbid urine, i.e., the previously mentioned Gao Lin (paste-like strangury), which is caused by damp-heat in the Stomach seeping into the Bladder, having absolutely no relation to the Kidney Meridian. Jing Zhuo, however, involves sticky threads; even without urination, it occurs. This is due to insufficient Kidney Water, allowing Libido Fire to easily move, causing Essence to leave its proper position and thus slowly exude. Treatment should tonify the Kidney and clear the Heart, strengthen the Spleen and secure leakage. In this formula, Gou Qi Zi, Shu Di Huang, and Dang Gui have rich flavors and can nourish Yin; nourishing Yin is sufficient to control the Sunlight (deficient fire). Jin Ying Zi, Lian Xu, and Qian Shi have astringent flavors and can secure leakage, preventing loss. Shi Lian Rou is bitter and cold, capable of clearing the Heart; if the Heart is clear, libido fire does not blaze. Bai Fu Ling is sweet and neutral, capable of benefiting Earth (Spleen); benefiting Earth controls Kidney pathogens. Shan Zha Rou serves to eliminate obstacles in the Yin aspect.
