《巢氏病源》小儿遗尿候∶遗尿者，此由膀胱有冷不能约于水故也。足太阴为膀胱之经，足少阴为肾之经，
此二经为表里。肾主水，肾气下通于阴。小便者，水液之余也。膀胱为津液之腑，既冷气衰弱不能约水，故遗尿也。

According to *Chao Shi Bing Yuan* (Source of Diseases by Master Chao) regarding the syndrome of pediatric enuresis: Enuresis is caused by cold in the Bladder, which fails to restrain water. The Foot-Taiyin Splein Meridian is associated with the Bladder, and the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian is the meridian of the Kidney; these two meridians have a exterior-interior relationship. The Kidney governs water metabolism, and Kidney Qi extends downward to the external genitalia. Urine is the residual part of fluid metabolism. The Bladder is the fu-organ of body fluids; since cold qi weakens its function, failing to restrain urine, enuresis occurs.
*Qianjin Fang* (Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) treats pediatric enuresis with the following formula:
*Epimedii Herba* (Qumai), *Gentianae Radix* (Longdan), *Gleditsiae Fructus* (Zaojia), *Cinnamomi Ramulus* (Guixin), *Pyri Folium* (Shiwei) (each 0.5 liang); *Polygoni avicularis Herba* (Jichangcao), *Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma* (Renshen) (each 1 liang); *Plantaginis Semen* (Cheqianzi) (1 liang 6 zhu).
Grind the above eight herbs into powder, mix with honey to make pills the size of small beans. Take five pills after each meal, three times a day, increasing gradually to six or seven pills.
Another prescription from *Qianjin Fang*:
Crush the leaves of *Vigna angularis* (Xiaodouye) to extract juice and take it orally.
