Commentary states: The Kidney governs water metabolism, and the Bladder is the mansion of fluid accumulation. Currently, Kidney Qi is insufficient, and there is cold in the Bladder, which fails to constrain and control body fluids. This leads to slippery leakage of Jin-Ye (body fluids) and Qi deficiency, resulting in frequent urination. If this condition persists without cure, it will damage Kidney Qi and deplete True Yuan (True Essence), giving rise to symptoms such as soreness and pain in the lower back and spine, chills, emaciation, and fatigue.

Glutinous Rice Prescription for treating frequent urination and unquenchable thirst:
Take a handful of pure glutinous rice, roughly the size of a hand. Roast until soft and ripe just before going to bed and eat it. Wash down with warm wine. For those who do not drink alcohol, use warm water. Eating more is better. Walk or sit for a while, lie down when feeling empty-hearted. If one urinates more than ten times a night, taking this will stop it. Some say this is because false fire warms the water passage, but this is incorrect. Generally, glutinous rice has astringent properties. When people drink water at night, they often do not urinate; this is the power of glutinous rice. In the past, someone suffered from severe thirst (Xiao Ke) nearly to death. Someone used glutinous rice stalks, cutting off the ears and roots, taking only the center part. Burn it in a clean container to ash. Take about one ge, steep in one bowl of water for a long time, clarify and strain. Taste resembles thin ash water. Drink it all at once when thirsty. That night, water intake decreased by seven or eight sheng. This is another verification of the astringent property of glutinous rice.
