此证及消渴、赤白浊、小便多等，其治相近，其方宜互酌用。
脉候 遗精、白浊二证，脉息多涩，伤精脉也。（《济生》）
遗精白浊，当验于尺，结芤动紧，二证之的。（《崔氏脉诀》）
遗精白浊，微涩而弱，火盛阴虚，芤濡洪数。（《四言举要》）
病属心肾《内经》曰∶思想无穷，所愿不得，意淫于外，入房太甚，宗筋弛纵，发为筋痿，及为白淫。
夫肾藏天一，以悭为事，志意内治，则精全而啬出，思想外淫，房室太甚，则固者摇矣，故淫 不守，随溲而
下也。然本于筋痿者，以宗筋弛纵故也。（《圣济》）（按次注曰∶白淫谓白物淫衍，如精之状，男子因溲而
下，女子阴器中绵绵而下也。先教谕曰∶《本神篇》云∶精伤则骨酸痿厥，精时自下。《玉机真藏论》曰∶出白
名曰蛊。是其义也。然则白淫即尿精，《本事方》说，盖亦为然，仍举之首。）
医经曰∶男子二八，肾气盛，天癸至。天癸者精也，精者身之本也。肾藏精，藏精者不可伤。皆由不善
卫生，喜怒劳逸，忧愁思虑，嗜欲过度，起居不常，遂致心火炎上而不息，肾水散漫而无归，上下不得交养。心
受病者，令人遗精白浊；肾受病者，亦令人遗精白浊。此皆心肾不交，关键不牢之所致也。肾病者当禁固之，
心病者当安宁之。（《济生》）
梦遗精滑，虽皆属火，而有心肾之异。动于心者，神摇于上则精遗于下也。不必治肾，但清其心而梦自已。
盖精之藏贮虽在肾，而精之主宰则在心。是以少年伶俐之人多有此病，而田野愚鲁之人无患此者，总由心之动静
而已。（《金匮翼》）
病由肾虚 虚劳尿精候，肾气衰弱故也。肾藏精，其气通于阴。劳伤肾虚，不能藏于精，故因小便而
精液出也。（《病源论》）
虚方溢精见闻精出候，肾气虚弱，故精溢也。见闻感触则
动肾气，肾藏精，今虚弱不能制于精，故因见闻而精溢出也。
虚劳失精候，肾气虚损，不能藏精，故精漏失。其病小腹弦急，阴头寒，目眶痛，发落，诊其脉数而散者，
失精脉也。
虚劳梦泄精候，肾虚为邪所乘，邪客于阴，则梦交接。肾藏精，今肾虚不能制精，因梦感动而泄也。
虚劳精血出候，此劳伤肾气故也，肾藏精，精者血之所成也。虚劳则生七伤六极，气血俱损，肾家偏虚，不
能藏精，故精血俱出也。（并同上）（按∶以上五条，其证虽异，其因则同，故骈列之。）
戴云∶因梦交而出精者，谓之梦遗。不因梦而自泄精者，谓之精滑。皆相火所动，久则有虚而无寒者也。
（《钩玄》）
病有数端 方书言梦泄，皆云肾虚，但补肾涩精，然亦未尝有验。予论之，此疾有三证∶一者至虚，肾
不能摄精，心不能摄念，或梦而泄，或不梦而泄，此候皆重，须大服补药，然人病此者甚少。其余皆只是心虚或
心热，因心有所感，故梦而泄，此候差轻，人之患者多是此候，但服茯苓散自瘥，予累以拯人，皆良验。又有少
年气盛，或鳏夫道人，强制情欲，因念而泄，此为无病。医及摄生家多言梦寐甚于房劳，此殆不然。予尝验之，
人病天行未复而犯房劳者多死，至于梦寐则未尝致困，此决然可知，但梦寐自有轻重耳。（《苏沈》）
梦遗有数种∶下元虚惫，精不禁者，宜服茴香丸。年壮气盛，久节淫欲，经络壅滞者，宜服清心丸。有情欲
动中，经所谓所愿不得，名曰白淫，宜良方茯苓散。正如瓶中煎汤，气盛盈溢者，如瓶中汤沸而溢；欲动心邪者，
如瓶之倾侧而
出；虚惫不禁者，如瓶中有罅而漏。不可一概用药也。又有一说，经曰∶肾气闭即精泄。《素问》云∶肾者作强
之官，伎巧出焉。又曰∶肾气藏精。盖肾能摄精气，以生育人伦者也，或敛或散，皆主于肾。今也肾气闭，则一
身之精气无所管摄，故妄行而出不时也。猪苓丸一方，正为此设。（《本事》）
遗精得之有四∶有用心过度，心不摄肾，以致失精者；有因思色欲不遂，致精失位，输泻而出者，有色欲太
过，滑泄不禁者；有年壮气盛，久无色欲，精气满泄者。然其状不一。（《要诀》）（按∶又有经络热证，见清
心丸下。又明人有更说数因者，稍涉冗杂，仍不繁引。）
梦遗属郁滞者居大半，庸医不知其郁，但用龙骨、牡蛎等涩剂固脱，殊不知愈涩愈郁，其病反甚。尝治一中
年男子梦遗，医或与涩药反甚，连遗数夜。愚先与神芎丸（用大黄、芩、连、牵、滑、薄、芎）大下之，却制猪
苓丸服之，得痊安，于此见梦遗属郁滞者多矣。（《纲目》）（节录）
证治诸说 遗精得之有四云云。然其状不一，或小便后出多不可禁者，或不小便而自出，或茎中出而痒
痛，常如欲小便者，并宜先用辰砂妙香散，吞玉华白丹（用白石脂、牡蛎、阳起石、钟乳），佐以威喜丸或厘清
饮，别以绵裹龙骨同煎。或厘清饮半帖，加五倍、牡蛎粉、白茯苓、五味子各半钱。若是用心过度得之，宜远志
丸（用二茯、参、龙齿、远、菖），用交感汤（当是交感丸为汤，用生地、当归、延胡、生姜、蒲黄、琥珀）加莲
肉、五味子吞下，仍佐以灵砂丹。若审是思色欲不遂得之，且以四七汤吞白丸子。甚者耳闻目见，其精即出，名
曰白淫，妙香散吞玉华白丹。若审是色欲过度，下元虚惫，泄滑无禁，宜正元饮（见《和剂》）加
牡蛎粉、肉苁蓉各半钱，吞养气丹（见《和剂》）或灵砂丹，仍佐以鹿茸丸（见《济生》）、山药丸、大菟丝
子丸、固阳丸（并见《和剂》）之类（按∶《准绳》曰∶按此项药太僭燥，若妄用过剂，则阴水耗竭，壮火独炎，
枯腊消肉，骨立筋痿，而成不救之疾矣，用者审之）。审是壮盛满溢者，《本事方》清心丸，仍服黄 六一汤
（附见《汗证》），便虽非对，缘精髓满溢，姑以白燥之。遗沥，比之遗精稍少，小便有数点稠粘，茎头微痛，
或小便已停，片时方有一二滴沾KT ，其病不出前所因，宜审用前药。梦遗，俗谓之夜梦鬼交，宜温胆汤去竹
茹，加人参、远志、莲肉、酸枣仁炒、茯神各半钱，吞玉华白丹、固阳丸。梦遗亦备前四证，宜审其所感，用前
药。（《要诀》）
梦遗为肝热胆寒，以肝热则火淫于外，魂不内守，故多淫梦失精。或时心悸，肥人多此，宜清肝，不必补
肾，温胆汤加人参、茯神、枣仁、莲肉。（《医通》）
张仲景治手足烦热，咽干口燥，或为悸衄，此阳上升而不降，阴独居上而为梦失，用小建中汤和之，此世
俗所昧也。（《沙篆》）（按∶此说本于《准绳》。）
如无梦遗精，肾关不固，精窍滑脱而成者，用桑螵蛸散（是《寇氏》方。见《小便多》），填精固摄，及滑
涩互施方法。如有梦而遗，烦劳过度，及脾胃受伤，心肾不交，上下交损而成者，用归脾汤、妙香散、参术膏、
补心丹等方，心脾肾兼治之法。如阴虚不摄，湿热下注而遗滑者，用黄柏、萆 、黄连、苓、泽等，苦泄厥阴
热，并通腑气为主。（《临证指南》邹滋九）
一人患伤寒之后，小便时常流精不止，众医治皆不效，亦不知为何证，予用小柴胡汤加知母、黄柏、牡蛎、青黛而
愈。盖初病时，少阳经遗热于肾，久则动肾火而精遗，外伤寒证虽愈，而此火未退故耳。（《星海》）
治去脑冷 有人梦遗精，初有所见，后来虽梦中无所见，日夜不拘，常常遗漏，作心气不足，服心气
药无验，作肾气虚，补肾药亦无验。医问患者觉脑冷否，应之曰∶只为脑冷。服驱寒散（方无考）遂安。盖脑
者诸阳之会，髓之海，脑冷则髓不固，是以遗漏也。有此疾者，先去脑中风冷，脑气冲和，兼服益心肾药，无
不愈者。（《医说》）
败精失道 脾肾俱虚，败精失道，精滑不固者，九龙丹（用枸杞、金樱、莲须、莲肉、芡实、山茱、归、
地、茯）去当归，加萆 、五味，然不若萃仙丸（用蒺藜、山茱、芡实、莲蕊、枸杞、菟丝、续断、复盆、金
樱）尤妙。所谓败精失道者，非败精不泄而有所蓄滞也，以精窍屡开，不能闭密，失其常度，而流溢不止，故宜
止涩之剂。（《医通》）
精塞水窍 精塞水窍不通，属房欲不竟，或思欲不遂，或惧泄忍精，或老人气不足以送精出窍。忌破
气、下、利小便、燥热。宜行败精。壮实人宜兼泄火。老人宜兼补气。（《本草经疏》）

This syndrome and conditions such as Xiao Ke (Wasting and Thirsting Syndrome), Chi Bai Zhuo (Red and White Turbid Urine), and frequent urination have similar treatments, and their formulas should be used with mutual consideration.
Pulse Diagnosis: For Yi Jing (Spermatorrhea) and Bai Zhuo (White Turbid Urine), the pulse is often Se (Choppy), which indicates damage to Jing (Essence). (*Ji Sheng Fang*)
For Yi Jing (Spermatorrhea) and Bai Zhuo (White Turbid Urine), verification should be done at the Chi (Cun Guan Chi - distal position on both wrists) pulse. The presence of Jie (Knotted), Kou (Hollow), Dong (Fluttering), or Jin (Tight) pulses are definitive signs of these two conditions. (*Cui Shi Mai Jue*)
For Yi Jing (Spermatorrhea) and Bai Zhuo (White Turbid Urine), a Wei Se (Slight Choppy) and Ruo (Weak) pulse indicates Fire Excess and Yin Deficiency; Kou (Hollow), Ru (Floating and Soft), Hong (Surging), or Shu (Rapid) pulses may also be seen. (*Si Yan Ju Yao*)
The disease belongs to the Heart and Kidney. *Huang Di Nei Jing* states: "Endless thinking, unfulfilled desires, lustful thoughts directed outward, and excessive sexual intercourse lead to flaccidity and relaxation of the Zong Jin (Sinews), resulting in Jin Wei (Sinew Flaccidity) and Bai Yin (White Sperm/Loss)."
The Kidney stores Tian Yi (Primordial Essence) and acts with parsimony. When will and intention are regulated internally, Jing (Essence) remains complete and is retained sparingly. When thoughts wander externally into lust and sexual activity is excessive, what was firm becomes unstable. Thus, Jing cannot be guarded and flows down with urine. However, the root lies in Jin Wei (Sinew Flaccidity) due to the flaccidity and relaxation of the Zong Jin (Sinews). (*Sheng Ji Zong Lu*) [Note: Bai Yin refers to white discharge resembling semen, flowing out with urine in men, and continuously from the vagina in women. Xian Jiaoyu stated: *Ling Shu · Ben Shen Pian* says, "When Jing is damaged, bones ache, there is flaccidity and coldness in the limbs, and Jing leaks spontaneously." *Su Wen · Yu Ji Zhen Zang Lun* says, "Discharge of white fluid is called Gu." This is the meaning. Thus, Bai Yin is essentially sperm in urine. The explanation in *Ben Shi Fang* seems correct, so it is listed first.]
Medical classics state: "At age sixteen, a man's Kidney Qi flourishes, and Tian Gui arrives. Tian Gui is Jing (Essence); Jing is the foundation of the body. The Kidneys store Jing, and the function of storing Jing must not be injured. All this arises from improper health preservation: irregular emotions, inappropriate labor and rest, worry and overthinking, excessive desires, and irregular daily routines. This causes Heart Fire to blaze upward without ceasing, and Kidney Water to scatter without returning, preventing mutual nourishment between upper and lower. Disease in the Heart causes Yi Jing (Spermatorrhea) and Bai Zhuo (White Turbid Urine); disease in the Kidney also causes Yi Jing (Spermatorrhea) and Bai Zhuo (White Turbid Urine). These are all caused by the failure of Heart-Kidney interaction and an insecure key mechanism. Kidney disease requires securing and consolidating; Heart disease requires calming and tranquilizing." (*Ji Sheng Fang*)
Meng Yi (Dream Emission) and Jing Hua (Slippery Emission) both belong to Fire, but differ in involving the Heart or Kidney. When moved by the Heart, spirit trembles above, causing essence to leak below. There is no need to treat the Kidney; one only needs to clear the Heart, and dreams will cease naturally. Although the storage of Jing is in the Kidney, its master is the Heart. Therefore, clever young people often suffer from this, while rustic country folk do not; it all depends on the movement or stillness of the Heart. (*Jin Kui Yi*)
Etiology due to Kidney Deficiency: Xu Lao Niao Jing (Deficiency Consumption with Sperm in Urine) syndrome is due to weak Kidney Qi. The Kidneys store Jing, and their Qi connects to the external genitalia. Damage from overwork leads to Kidney deficiency, inability to store Jing, thus causing seminal fluid to exit with urine. (*Bing Yuan Lun*)
Xu Fang Yi Jing Jian Wen Jing Chu (Deficiency Formula for Overflowing Essence upon Seeing/Hearing): Due to weak Kidney Qi, essence overflows. Seeing, hearing, or being touched agitates the Kidney Qi. The Kidneys store Jing; now, due to deficiency, they cannot control the essence, so it overflows upon sensory stimulation.
Xu Lao Shi Jing (Deficiency Consumption with Loss of Essence): Kidney Qi is deficient and damaged, unable to store Jing, causing leakage. Symptoms include tightness and urgency in the lower abdomen, coldness at the glans penis, pain in the eye sockets, hair loss, and a pulse that is Rapid and Scattered, which is the pulse of lost essence.
Xu Lao Meng Xie Jing (Deficiency Consumption with Dream Emission): Kidney deficiency allows pathogenic factors to invade; pathogens lodge in the Yin, causing dreams of sexual intercourse. The Kidneys store Jing; now, due to Kidney deficiency, they cannot control the essence, leading to emission stirred by dreams.
Xu Lao Jing Xue Chu (Deficiency Consumption with Essence and Blood Discharge): This is due to injury of Kidney Qi by overwork. The Kidneys store Jing, and Jing is formed from Blood. Deficiency consumption generates Seven Injuries and Six Extremes, damaging both Qi and Blood. The Kidney family is particularly deficient and cannot store Jing, causing both essence and blood to discharge. (All above five items: although symptoms differ, the cause is the same, so they are listed together.) (Same source)
Dai Yun said: Emission of essence due to dreaming of sexual intercourse is called Meng Yi (Dream Emission). Emission of essence without dreaming is called Jing Hua (Slippery Emission). Both are moved by Ministerial Fire; long-term cases involve only deficiency without cold. (*Gou Xuan*)
There are several aspects to the disease. Medical texts state that dream emission is due to Kidney deficiency, suggesting only tonifying the Kidney and astringing essence, yet this has rarely been effective. I argue this disease has three patterns: First, extreme deficiency where the Kidney cannot grasp essence and the Heart cannot grasp thoughts, resulting in emission with or without dreams; these cases are severe and require large doses of tonic medicine, but few people suffer from this. The rest are merely Heart deficiency or Heart Heat, where emotional triggers cause dream emission; these cases are milder, and most patients fall into this category, healing simply with Fu Ling San (Poria Powder). I have used this repeatedly to save people with excellent results. Secondly, young people with vigorous Qi, or widowers/monks who forcibly suppress desires, may emit due to mental arousal; this is considered non-pathological. Doctors and health preservers often claim dream emission is worse than sexual fatigue, which is likely incorrect. I have verified that people who engage in sexual activity before recovering from epidemic fevers often die, whereas dream emission never causes such distress; this is certain, though dream emission varies in severity. (*Su Shen Liang Fang*)
There are several types of Meng Yi (Dream Emission): For lower origin deficiency and exhaustion with inability to control essence, Hui Xiang Wan (Fennel Pill) is suitable. For those in their prime with vigorous Qi who have long abstained from sex, causing meridian stagnation, Qing Xin Wan (Clear Heart Pill) is suitable. For those with desire stirring within, described in the classics as "unfulfilled desires" named Bai Yin (White Sperm), Liang Fang Fu Ling San (Good Formula Poria Powder) is suitable. It is like boiling soup in a bottle: if Qi is full and overflowing, it spills like boiling soup; if desire stirs the heart, it spills like a tilted bottle; if deficient and exhausted, it leaks like a cracked bottle. Medication cannot be applied uniformly. Another theory states: The classics say, "If Kidney Qi is closed, essence leaks." *Su Wen* says, "The Kidneys are the officials of strength and vigor, producing skill and ingenuity." It also says, "Kidney Qi stores essence." Essentially, the Kidneys control essence and Qi for human reproduction, governing both retention and dispersion. Now, if Kidney Qi is blocked, the essence and Qi of the whole body lack control, wandering and exiting irregularly. Zhu Ling Wan (Polyporus Pill) is specifically designed for this. (*Ben Shi Fang*)
Yi Jing (Spermatorrhea) has four causes: 1. Overuse of the mind, where the Heart fails to control the Kidney, leading to loss of essence; 2. Unfulfilled lustful thoughts, causing essence to lose its position and discharge; 3. Excessive sexual desire, leading to slippery and uncontrollable emission; 4. Youthful vigor and abundance, with long abstinence, causing fullness and overflow of essence. However, the manifestations vary. (*Yao Jue*) [Note: There is also a meridian heat pattern, see under Qing Xin Wan. Ming dynasty physicians added more causes, which are slightly redundant, so they are not cited extensively.]
More than half of Meng Yi (Dream Emission) cases belong to Stagnation. Quack doctors, unaware of the stagnation, use astringents like Long Gu (Dragon Bone) and Mu Li (Oyster Shell) to secure collapse, not realizing that excessive astringency worsens the stagnation and aggravates the disease. I once treated a middle-aged man with Meng Yi (Dream Emission); after using astringent medicines, his condition worsened, with emissions occurring for several nights consecutively. I first administered Shen Xiong Wan (Divine Celery Pill - containing Da Huang, Huang Qin, Huang Lian, Qian Niu Zi, Hua Shi, Bo He, Xiong Diao) to purge heavily, then prescribed Zhu Ling Wan (Polyporus Pill), resulting in recovery. This demonstrates that many Meng Yi (Dream Emission) cases belong to stagnation. (*Ben Cao Gang Mu*) (Excerpt)
Various theories on syndrome differentiation and treatment. As mentioned, Yi Jing (Spermatorrhea) has four causes, but manifestations vary. Some experience uncontrollable discharge after urination; some discharge spontaneously without urinating; some have itching and pain at the urethral meatus with a constant urge to urinate. All these should initially use Chen Sha Miao Xiang San (Cinnabar Wonderful Fragrance Powder), swallowing Yu Hua Bai Dan (Jade Flower White Pill - containing Bai Shi Zhi, Mu Li, Yang Qi Shi, Zhong Ru), assisted by Wei Xi Wan (Wei Xi Pill) or Li Qing Yin (Clarify Clear Decoction), and separately decocting Long Gu (Dragon Bone) wrapped in cotton. Alternatively, take half a dose of Li Qing Yin (Clarify Clear Decoction), adding Wu Bei Zi, Mu Li powder, Bai Fu Ling, and Wu Wei Zi, each half qian. If caused by overuse of the mind, use Yuan Zhi Wan (Polygala Pill - containing Er Fu, Ren Shen, Long Chi, Yuan Zhi, Chang Pu), taking Jiao Gan Tang (Interacting Decoction - likely Jiao Gan Wan made into decoction, containing Sheng Di, Dang Gui, Yan Hu Suo, Sheng Jiang, Pu Huang, Hu Po) with Lian Rou and Wu Wei Zi swallowed, assisted by Ling Sha Dan (Spirit Cinnabar Pill). If confirmed as caused by unfulfilled lustful thoughts, use Si Qi Tang (Four Seven Decoction) to swallow Bai Wan Zi (White Pills). In severe cases where hearing or seeing triggers emission, named Bai Yin (White Sperm), use Miao Xiang San (Wonderful Fragrance Powder) swallowing Yu Hua Bai Dan (Jade Flower White Pill). If confirmed as excessive sexual desire, lower origin deficiency and exhaustion, with slippery and uncontrollable emission, use Zheng Yuan Yin (Correct Origin Decoction - see *He Ji*) adding Mu Li powder and Rou Cong Rong, each half qian, swallowing Yang Qi Dan (Nourish Qi Pill - see *He Ji*) or Ling Sha Dan (Spirit Cinnabar Pill), assisted by Lu Rong Wan (Deer Antler Pill - see *Ji Sheng*), Shan Yao Wan (Dioscorea Pill), Da Tu Si Zi Wan (Large Dodder Pill), Gu Yang Wan (Secure Yang Pill - all see *He Ji*) etc. [Note: *Zhun Sheng* states: These medicines are too aggressive and drying; if misused in excess, Yin fluids will be depleted, ministerial fire will blaze alone, flesh will waste away, bones will stand out, sinews will flaccid, becoming incurable. Users must be cautious.] If confirmed as youthful fullness and overflow, use *Ben Shi Fang* Qing Xin Wan (Clear Heart Pill), still taking Huang Qi Liu Yi Tang (Astragalus Six-to-One Decoction - attached to *Han Zheng*), although the formula is not perfectly matched, it addresses the overflow of essence and marrow by using Atractylodes to dry dampness. Yi Li (Residual Dribbling) is slightly less than Yi Jing (Spermatorrhea); a few drops of thick sticky fluid appear during urination, slight pain at the glans, or one or two drops appear shortly after urination stops. The etiology does not exceed the previously mentioned causes; carefully apply the previous medicines. Meng Yi (Dream Emission), commonly known as night dreams of ghost intercourse, should use Wen Dan Tang (Warm Gallbladder Decoction) removing Zhu Ru, adding Ren Shen, Yuan Zhi, Lian Rou, Chao Suan Zao Ren, and Fu Shen, each half qian, swallowing Yu Hua Bai Dan (Jade Flower White Pill) and Gu Yang Wan (Secure Yang Pill). Meng Yi (Dream Emission) also covers the previous four syndromes; determine the trigger and use the previous medicines. (*Yao Jue*)
Meng Yi (Dream Emission) belongs to Liver Heat and Gallbladder Cold. Liver Heat causes fire to overflow externally, Hun (Ethereal Soul) fails to remain internal, leading to many erotic dreams and loss of essence. Palpitations may occur; this is common in obese people. Treat by clearing the Liver, no need to tonify the Kidney. Use Wen Dan Tang (Warm Gallbladder Decoction) adding Ren Shen, Fu Shen, Zao Ren, and Lian Rou. (*Yi Tong*)
Zhang Zhongjing treated restless heat in hands and feet, dry throat and mouth, or palpitations and epistaxis. This is Yang rising without descending, Yin dwelling exclusively above, causing Meng Yi (Dream Emission). Use Xiao Jian Zhong Tang (Minor Construct the Middle Decoction) to harmonize. This is misunderstood by the世俗 (common world). (*Sha Zhao*) [Note: This theory originates from *Zhun Sheng*.]
For Yi Jing (Spermatorrhea) without dreams, due to insecure Kidney gate and slipping essence aperture, use Sang Piao Xiao San (Mantis Egg Case Powder - a modification of Kou Zongshi's formula, see *Xiao Bian Duo*). Fill essence, secure and grasp, employing methods of combining slipperiness and astringency. For Yi Jing (Spermatorrhea) with dreams, due to excessive fatigue, spleen-stomach injury, Heart-Kidney non-interaction, and mutual damage of upper and lower, use Gui Pi Tang (Restore the Spleen Decoction), Miao Xiang San (Wonderful Fragrance Powder), Shen Zhu Gao (Ginseng and Atractylodes Paste), Bu Xin Dan (Tonify Heart Pill), etc., representing a method of treating Heart, Spleen, and Kidney simultaneously. For Yin deficiency failing to grasp, with Damp-Heat pouring downward causing slippery emission, use Huang Bo, Bi Xie, Huang Lian, Fu Ling, Ze Xie, etc., focusing on bitter-draining of Jue Yin Heat and unblocking fu organ qi. (*Lin Zheng Zhi Nan* Zou Zijiu)
A person suffered from continuous seminal discharge with urine after contracting Shang Han (Cold Damage). Many doctors failed to treat it, and the syndrome was unknown. I cured him with Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) adding Zhi Mu, Huang Bo, Mu Li, and Qing Dai. Initially, residual heat from the Shao Yang Meridian lingered in the Kidney; over time, it agitated Kidney Fire causing emission. Although the external cold syndrome resolved, this internal fire remained. (*Xing Hai*)
Treating Brain Cold. Someone had Meng Yi (Dream Emission). Initially, visual triggers were present; later, even without visual triggers in dreams, leakage occurred day and night indiscriminately. Treated as Heart Qi deficiency, Heart Qi medicines failed. Treated as Kidney Qi deficiency, Kidney tonics failed. The doctor asked if the patient felt cold in the brain. The patient replied, "Only because my brain is cold." Taking Qu Han San (Expel Cold Powder - formula unknown) brought relief. The brain is the meeting place of all Yang meridians and the sea of Marrow. Brain cold means Marrow is insecure, causing leakage. For this disease, first expel wind-cold from the brain; when Brain Qi harmonizes, assist with Heart-Kidney tonics. No case fails to heal. (*Yi Shuo*)
Bai Jing Shi Dao (Rotten Essence Losing its Path). Spleen and Kidney both deficient, rotten essence loses its path, causing slippery and insecure essence. Jiu Long Dan (Nine Dragon Pill - containing Gou Qi, Jin Ying, Lian Xu, Lian Rou, Qian Shi, Shan Zhu Yu, Dang Gui, Di Huang) remove Dang Gui, add Bi Xie and Wu Wei Zi. However, Cui Xian Wan (Extract Immortal Pill - containing Ji Li, Shan Zhu Yu, Qian Shi, Lian Rui, Gou Qi, Tu Si Zi, Xu Duan, Fu Pen, Jin Ying) is even better. "Rotten essence losing its path" does not mean rotten essence is retained due to lack of discharge, but rather that the essence aperture opens frequently, failing to close tightly, losing its normal degree, and flowing endlessly. Thus, astringent agents are appropriate. (*Yi Tong*)
Jing Sai Shui Qiao (Essence Blocking Water Aperture). Essence blocking water aperture, causing obstruction, belongs to incomplete sexual release, unfulfilled lustful thoughts, holding back ejaculation due to fear, or elderly people lacking Qi to send essence out. Avoid Qi-breaking, purgative, diuretic, and drying-hot drugs. Promote expulsion of rotten essence. Robust individuals should additionally drain fire. Elderly individuals should additionally tonify Qi. (*Ben Cao Jing Jiu Shu*)
