[Qing'e Wan (Green Young Pill)]
Indicated for weak Kidney Qi, where wind-cold pathogens invade, or when Blood and Qi clash, resulting in low back pain as if broken, difficulty in rising from a seated position or sitting down, inflexibility in bending forward and extending backward, and limited ability to turn the body. It is also indicated for low back pain caused by excessive labor damaging the Kidney Meridian; residing in damp, low-lying areas where Earthly Qi injures the waist; injuries from falls; pathogenic wind-cold lodging and clashing internally; Qi stagnation causing low back pain; or a sensation of heaviness and dragging in the waist with difficulty in movement. All these conditions can be treated. (For another prescription, see later.)
