〔曾〕婴儿小便不通者,有阴阳二证。阴闭者,为冷湿乘虚入里,因而不通,名
曰阴闭,以白芍药汤加南木香,及用炒盐以绢帕兜,令带热熨脐四围,并投五苓散
入灵砂末,盐汤空心调服,其效尤速。阳闭者,因暴热所逼,涩而不通,名曰阳闭。
又有癃闭,与淋不同,《内经》宣明五气篇曰∶膀胱不利为癃。盖癃者,乃五内气虚,
受热壅滞,宣化不行,非涩非痛,但闭不通,腹胀紧满,但以 咀五苓散加车前子、
灯心、之类,及投木通散、玉露饮、益元散皆可用之,或贴姜豉饼于脐上取效,
不拘阴阳二证,悉能疗之,并与万安饮尤妙。〔薛〕东垣云∶小便不利,有在气在
血之异,夫小便者,足太阳膀胱之所主,长生于申,申者金也,金能生水,肺中伏
热,水不能生,是绝小便之源也,治法,用清燥金之正化气薄之药,茯苓、猪苓、
泽泻、琥珀、灯心、通草、车前、瞿麦、 蓄之类,皆为淡渗能泄肺中之热,而滋
水之化源也。若不渴,热在下焦,是热涩其流而溺不泄也,须用气味俱浓,阴中之
阴药治之。二者之病,一居上焦,在气分而必渴,一居下焦,在血分而不渴,血中
有湿,故不渴也,二者之殊,至易分别耳。窃谓前证若津液偏渗于肠胃,大便泻利,
而小便涩少者,宜分利。若热蕴于下焦,津液燥而小便不行者,宜渗泄。若脾胃气
涩,不能通调水道者,宜顺气。若乳母肝心二经有热者,用栀子清肝散。肝经怒火
者,用柴胡栀子散。若因父母曾服燥剂而致者,用四物、麦门、甘草。数而黄者,
用四物加山茱萸、黄柏、知母、五味、麦门。肺虚而短少者,用补中益气加山药、
麦门。阴挺痿痹而频数者,用地黄丸。热结膀胱而不利者,用五淋散。脾肺燥不能
化生者,用黄芩清肺饮。膀胱阴虚,阳无以生而淋沥者,用滋肾丸。若膀胱阳虚,
阴无以化而淋沥者,用六味丸。若因乳母浓味、酒面积热者,用清胃散、五淋散。
仍参诸淋览之。一小儿十四岁,肢体倦怠,发热晡热,口干作渴,吐痰如涌,小
便淋沥,或面目赤色,躁不欲衣。此禀赋肾虚阴躁也。用补中益气汤、加减八味丸
而愈。一儿五岁,小便不利,用五苓散分利澹泄之药,益加不通,小便阴囊渐肿。
先兄谓∶前药复损真阴也。用六味丸料加牛膝、肉桂、车前子,佐以补中益气汤而
痊。一儿八岁,先小便涩滞,服五苓散益甚,加木通、车前之类,腹胀吐痰,
加枳壳、海金砂,而胸满阴肿,遍身发浮。余用六味丸煎送滋肾丸而痊。此皆禀父
气所致,其作湿热痰气治之,而殁者多矣。一儿八岁,先因小便黄赤,服五苓、
导赤、等散,后患便血。余以为禀赋虚热也,用六味丸,及补中益气汤而痊。

Tang's Niuhuang Wan: Treats tongjing (strabismus/esotropia) in children. This is often caused by accidental blows to the head, face, or forehead, or by falling and striking the body, causing the liver to be affected by wind-stroke due to fright, resulting in both eyes turning inward, known as tongjing. It is appropriate to take this prescription.
Ingredients: Niuhuang (Calculus Bovis), Baifuzi (Aconiti Kusnezoffii Rhizoma, prepared), Rougui (Cinnamomi Cortex), Quanxie (Scorpio), Xiong (Chuanxiong Rhizome), Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum, each 1 qian), Baizhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix), Zhusha (Cinnabar, each 2 qian, ground), Huoxiang (Agastaches Herba, 0.5 liang), Shexiang (Musk, 1 fen).
Grind the above ingredients into fine powder, mix with refined honey to make pills the size of a Chinese quince seed. For children under three years old, administer one pill per dose, taken with mint decoction after milk or food. Avoid oily foods, wheat products, and pork.
[Xue Ji] Children with quemang (night blindness) and yan zha (eyelid twitching/frequent blinking). Vision clears after taking Zhu Gan Wan (Boiled Liver Pill), and eyelid twitching stops after taking Siwei Fei'er Wan (Four-Ingredient Child-Nourishing Pill). One child experienced eye twitching due to convulsions, belonging to wind-heat in the Liver and Gallbladder meridians. First treated the Liver with Chaihu Qinggan San (Bupleurum Liver-Clearing Powder), then tonified the Kidney with Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill) for recovery. Another child had eyelid twitching and occasional convulsions due to fright. First cleared Liver heat using Jiawei Xiaochaihu Tang (Modified Minor Bupleurum Decoction) added with Yuan Yang (Chelidonii Herba) and Huang Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma), then used Liuwei Dihuang Wan to nourish the Kidney and generate Liver blood for recovery. Another child had continuous eye twitching, sometimes with redness or wiping of the eyebrows. This indicates wind-heat in the Liver meridian, likely developing into Ganchan (Liver Malnutrition Syndrome). Treated with Siwei Fei'er Wan added with Longdancao (Gentianae Radix) for cure.
Eye movement abnormalities, straight gaze, eye movements (see section on Fright and Convulsions).

[Zeng Shirong] Infant urinary retention presents in two patterns: Yin and Yang. Yin Bi (Yin Obstruction) occurs when cold-dampness invades the interior due to deficiency, leading to urinary blockage. It is called Yin Bi. Treat with Baishaoyao Tang (White Peony Decoction) added with Nanmuxiang (Aquilariae Lignum Resinatum), and apply hot stir-fried salt wrapped in silk cloth to warm the area around the umbilicus. Simultaneously administer Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Powder) mixed with Lingsha (Cinnabar and Gold amalgam), taken with salt water on an empty stomach; the effect is particularly rapid. Yang Bi (Yang Obstruction) is caused by sudden heat forcing fluids, leading to scanty and difficult urination, called Yang Bi. There is also Longbi (Difficult Urination), which differs from Linzheng (Strangury). The *Neijing* states in the "Xuanming Wuqi" chapter: "Bladder dysfunction is Long." Long refers to internal Qi deficiency with heat stagnation, where transformation and diffusion fail. It is not painful or burning, but simply blocked, with abdominal distension and tightness. Simply use Juyu Wuling San (Crushed Five-Ingredient Powder) added with Cheqianzi (Plantaginis Semen) and Dengxincao (Junci Medulla), or administer Mutong San (Akebia Decoction), Yulu Yin (Jade Dew Drink), or Yi Yuan San (Benefit Origin Powder). Applying Jiangchi Bing (Ginger and Fermented Soybean Cake) to the umbilicus can also be effective. This treats both Yin and Yang patterns. Combined with Wan'an Yin (Ten Thousand Safety Drink), it is excellent.
[Xue Ji] Li Dongyuan stated: Urinary difficulty has distinctions between Qi and Blood levels. Urine is governed by the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian. Its Qi originates at Shen hour (3-5 PM), which corresponds to Metal. Metal generates Water. If latent heat exists in the Lung, Water cannot be generated, cutting off the source of urine. The treatment method uses light, thin-aroma herbs to clear dryness and regulate Qi, such as Fuling (Poria), Zhuling (Polyporus), Zexie (Alisma), Hupo (Amber), Dengxincao (Junci Medulla), Tongcao (Tetrapanacis Medulla), Cheqianzi (Plantaginis Semen), Qumai (Dianthi Herba), and Bianxu (Polygoni Avicularis Herba). These are all bland and leaching agents that drain Lung heat and nourish the source of Water generation. If there is no thirst, the heat is in the Lower Jiao, blocking the flow and preventing urination. One must use heavy-aroma, Yin-within-Yin herbs to treat this. These two conditions differ: one is in the Upper Jiao, involves Qi, and causes thirst; the other is in the Lower Jiao, involves Blood, and does not cause thirst because dampness is present in the Blood. The distinction is easy to identify. I suggest that if fluids leak into the intestines causing diarrhea and scanty urine, use separation and drainage methods. If heat accumulates in the Lower Jiao drying fluids and stopping urination, use渗泄 (percolating and draining) methods. If Spleen and Stomach Qi is stagnant failing to regulate water passages, use Qi-regulating methods. If the nursing mother has heat in the Liver and Heart meridians, use Zhizi Qinggan San (Gardenia Liver-Clearing Powder). If Liver fire flares, use Chaihu Zhizi San (Bupleurum Gardenia Powder). If caused by parents' prior use of drying agents, use Siwu Tang (Four-Substance Decoction), Maimendong (Ophiopogonis Radix), and Gancao (Licorice). If pulse is rapid and urine yellow, use Siwu Tang added with Shanzhuyu (Corni Fructus), Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex), Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma), Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus), and Maimendong. If Lung deficiency causes short urine, use Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Middle-Wardening Qi-Supplementing Decoction) added with Shanyao (Dioscoreae Rhizoma) and Maimendong. If prolapse, impotence, and frequent urination occur, use Dihuang Wan (Rehmannia Pill). If heat binds the Bladder causing difficulty, use Wulin San (Five-Strangury Powder). If Spleen and Lung dryness prevents transformation, use Huangqin Qingfei Yin (Scutellaria Lung-Clearing Drink). If Bladder Yin deficiency fails to generate Yang causing dribbling, use Zishen Wan (Kidney-Nourishing Pill). If Bladder Yang deficiency fails to transform Yin causing dribbling, use Liuwei Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill). If caused by the nursing mother consuming rich flavors and alcohol accumulating heat, use Qingwei San (Stomach-Clearing Powder) and Wulin San. Refer to various Strangury patterns for reference.
One fourteen-year-old child presented with limb fatigue, fever with afternoon tidal fever, dry mouth and thirst, profuse phlegm, dribbling urine, sometimes red face and eyes, irritability, and aversion to clothing. This was congenital Kidney deficiency causing Yin restlessness. Treated with Buzhong Yiqi Tang and Jiawei Bawei Wan (Modified Eight-Ingredient Pill) for recovery.
One five-year-old child had urinary difficulty. After taking Wuling San and other draining agents, the condition worsened, and the genital area and scrotum swelled. My elder brother said the previous medicines damaged True Yin further. Used Liuwei Dihuang Wan material added with Niuxi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix), Rougui (Cinnamomi Cortex), and Cheqianzi, assisted by Buzhong Yiqi Tang for recovery.
One eight-year-old child initially had sticky urine. Taking Wuling San worsened it. Adding Mutong and Cheqianzi led to abdominal distension and vomiting of phlegm. Adding Zhike (Aurantii Fructus) and Haijinsha (Lygodii Spora) led to chest fullness, genital swelling, and generalized edema. I used Liuwei Dihuang Wan decoction to swallow Zishen Wan for recovery. All these cases resulted from inheriting the father's constitution. Treating them as Damp-Heat or Phlegm-Qi led to many deaths.
One eight-year-old child initially had yellow-red urine. After taking Wuling San and Daochi San (Guide Out Red Powder), he developed hematochezia. I considered this congenital deficient heat. Treated with Liuwei Dihuang Wan and Buzhong Yiqi Tang for recovery.
