Yixin Dan (Heart-Nourishing Pill) is used to treat insufficiency of Heart Qi, characterized by seminal emission during dreams.
Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix, honey-fried), Fushen (Poria with Hostwood, woody part removed), Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, radix removed), Yuanzhi (Polygalae Radix, boiled in water and heart removed), Shu Dihuang (Prepared Rehmanniae Radix, each 1 liang, washed), Bei Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus, 2 liang).
Longchi (Dragon's Teeth, ground separately), Baiziren (Platycladi Semen, each half liang, ground separately).
The above are ground into fine powder, mixed with refined honey to form pills the size of Sophora japonica seeds. Take 30 pills per dose, swallowed with clear warm water, at any time. (From *Wei Shi*) Another variation, Yangxin Dan (Nourishing Heart Pill), calms the mind and stabilizes the will, regulating the ascending and descending of True Fire. It is based on the above formula but removes Longchi (Dragon's Teeth) and adds Suanzaoren (Zizyphi Semen), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), and Zhusha (Cinnabar).
Chensha Miaoxiang San (Cinnabar Wondrous Fragrance Powder) treats seminal emission during dreams. Take one bi (approximate measure) per dose. For deficiency patterns, mix with warm wine; for heat patterns, mix with strong decoction of Maimendong (Ophiopogonis Radix, heart removed). (From *De Xiao Fang*) (See also under "Palpitations").
Shen (Spirit) is the residence of Jing-Qi (Essence-Qi). Shen governs Qi, and Qi secures Jing. Thus, when awake, Shen resides in the Heart; when asleep, Shen resides in the Kidney. The Heart and Kidney are the abodes of Shen. Actions during the day manifest as dreams at night. When men dream of sexual intercourse and emit semen, or women dream of intercourse and discharge essence, these result from failing to understand the way of clearing the mind and reducing desires. Such individuals have a Spirit that does not abide in its residence, moving according to desires. Daytime impressions follow into nighttime dreams. If the Heart cannot control thoughts and the Spirit cannot secure Essence, prolonged neglect leads to deficiency and damage. This is treated with Zhenshen Suojing Dan (Spirit-Calming and Essence-Locking Pill).
Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Bai Fushen (White Poria with Hostwood), Yuanzhi (Polygalae Radix, boiled in Licorice decoction and heart removed), Baiziren (Platycladi Semen), Suanzaoren (Zizyphi Semen), Shichangpu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma, hairs removed, each 1 liang), Bai Longgu (White Dragon's Bones, ground separately), Muli (Ostreae Concha, each 1 liang 5 qian), Chensha (Cinnabar, water-triturated, 5 qian total, reserving 1 qian for coating).
All ingredients are ground into powder, mixed with refined honey to form pills the size of a bullet. Take one pill per dose, swallowed with Jujube Decoction. (From *Shou Shi Bao Yuan*)
For heat in the meridians, nocturnal emissions, palpitations with mental confusion, and heat in the chest diaphragm, use Qingxin Wan (Clear Heart Pill).
Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex, high quality, 1 liang) is ground into fine powder. Mix with Sheng Naozi (Borneolum Syntheticum, 1 qian) until uniform. Form pills with refined honey the size of Sophora japonica seeds. Take 10–15 pills per dose, swallowed with strong Maimendong (Ophiopogonis Radix) decoction. This is a formula from Chan Master Dazhi. Nocturnal emissions should not all be treated as deficiency-cold; some arise from heat in the meridians. (From *Ben Shi Fang*) (Note: *Yao Jue* cites this text to show that red turbidity can also result from heat and may be treated with this formula.) Jiegu Zhenzhu Fen Wan (Jiegu Pearl Powder Pill) treats white leukorrhea and nocturnal emissions, using Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex) and Gefen (Margaritifer Concha Pulvis). (Some versions include Zhenzhu (Margarita); others do not, using Qingdai (Indigo Naturalis) instead; sources can be verified.)
Da Fengsui Dan (Great Phoenix Marrow Pill).
Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma, stir-baked), Mumuling (Polyporus Umbellatus, wood-part), Fuling (Poria), Lianrui (Nelumbinis Plumula), Yizhi (Alpiniae Oxyphyllae Fructus, each 3 qian 5 fen), Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex, stir-baked, 2 liang), Suosharen (Amomi Fructus Rotundus, 1 liang), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 5 qian).
Treats manic Heart Fire and excessive Yang, tonifying the deficiency of True Yin in Kidney Water. When the Heart has desires, it is easily stirred, reacting in the Kidney, leading to rapid emission. This formula consolidates True Yuan, descends Heart Fire, and benefits Kidney Water, showing great efficacy.
Zheng Fengsui Dan (Standard Phoenix Marrow Pill).
Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex, 2 liang), Suosha (Amomi Fructus Rotundus, 1 liang), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 5 qian).
Boil the two herbs in wine, boil down to a paste, and form pills the size of Sophora japonica seeds. Take 30 pills at empty stomach with warm wine. (From *Yuan Rong*)
Xu Shi Liuling Wan (Xu's Alum-Poria Pill) treats upper heat and lower cold, and nocturnal emissions, with miraculous effects.
Fan Zhi Huhuang (Alum-processed Sulphur, 1 liang), Bai Fuling (White Poria, 2 liang), Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma), Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex, each soaked in child's urine, 5 qian).
Grind into powder. Melt 1.5 liang of yellow beeswax and mix with the powder to form pills the size of Sophora japonica seeds. Take 50 pills per dose, swallowed with salted water. (From *Yi Xue Ru Men*)
Huanglian Qingxin Yin (Coptis Clear Heart Decoction) treats seminal emission caused by obsessive longing.
Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma), Shengdi (Rehmanniae Radix Recens), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Fushen (Poria with Hostwood), Suanzaoren (Zizyphi Semen), Yuanzhi (Polygalae Radix), Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Shilianrou (Nelumbinis Semen Album), Chuanlianzi (Toosendan Fructus).
Decoct in water and take orally. (Same source) (Note: One version excludes Chuanlianzi.)
Shiwei Wendan Tang (Ten-Ingredient Warm Gallbladder Decoction) treats nocturnal emissions with fright and startle.
Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma), Zhishi (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus, each 9 fen), Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Bai Fuling (White Poria, each 5 fen), Yuanzhi (Polygalae Radix), Shudi (Prepared Rehmanniae Radix), Suanzaoren (Zizyphi Semen), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, each 3 qian 5 fen), Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus, 9 berries).
Decoct with fresh ginger, take warm. (Same source)
Method for Regulating the Middle: Whenever there is uncontrollable seminal emission, spontaneous sweating, dizziness, extreme deficiency, alternating chills and fever, and tonifying/astringent medicines fail, while the pulse is floating, soft, and scattered, this is not merely deficiency, nor due to excessive sexual activity. There is no other cause than having seen something, harboring affection in the Heart, joy in intention, where desire arises but is unfulfilled, causing this disease. Since medicinal tonification and astringency are ineffective, how should it be treated? Because love in the Heart prevents the Spirit from returning, and longing in the Intention prevents the Will from being peaceful, one must first harmonize Ying and Wei (Nutritive and Defensive Qi). When Ying and Wei are harmonized, the Heart becomes calm. Then, regulate the Spleen. When Spleen Qi is harmonized, the residence of the Will is stabilized, allowing Heart-Kidney interaction and internal conservation of Jing-Shen (Essence-Spirit), leading to natural recovery. The method uses Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, 3 qian) and Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 1 qian, washed and dried), ground into powder, divided into three doses, taken with Rice Decoction. After finishing, spontaneous sweating stops, and chills/fever recede. If dizziness persists, use Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma, 3 qian) and Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, 1 qian), dried and ground into powder, divided into three doses, taken with boiling water. Dizziness then resolves. For uncontrollable seminal emission, use Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, half liang), Dingxiang (Caryophylli Flos, 3 qian), and Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix, 3 qian), coarsely powdered. Each dose is decocted with five slices of fresh ginger and two jujubes, taken on an empty stomach. This calms the Heart, stabilizes the Spirit, secures the essence, and brings joy to the spirit. (From *De Xiao Fang*) (Note: *Zhi Bing Huo Fa Mi Fang* contains the same content.)
Formula for Nocturnal Emission: For those with nocturnal emissions accompanied by white turbidity, decoct Pingwei San (Regulate the Stomach Powder), add a small amount of Longgu (Dragon's Bones) powder, and take on an empty stomach. (From *Suo Sui Lu*) *Jing Yan Liang Fang* (Excellent Empirical Prescriptions) treats Blood Lin (Dysuria with blood) caused by deficiency damage.
