(Pill) Gu Zhi (B Semen, 补骨脂), Wu Zhu Yu (Evodiae Fructus, 吴茱萸), Rou Dou Kou (Myristicae Semen, 肉豆蔻), and Wu Wei Zi (Schisandrae Fructus, 五味子); these four ingredients are essential. One hundred large dates (Ziziphi Jujubae Fructus, 大枣) and eight liang of fresh ginger (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, 生姜). [Gu Po Zhi (B Semen, 补骨脂) four liang, soaked in wine and stir-fried; Wu Zhu Yu (Evodiae Fructus, 吴茱萸) one liang, stir-fried with salt water; Rou Dou Kou (Myristicae Semen, 肉豆蔻) three liang, baked in flour; Wu Wei Zi (Schisandrae Fructus, 五味子) three liang, stir-fried; cook together with dates and ginger. Once the dates are soft, remove the ginger, mash the date pulp to form pills. Take with salted water before going to bed. If taken in the morning, it cannot withstand the yin-cold of the night.] This supports the five-dawn kidney-deficiency diarrhea by strengthening fire. [Because the fire of the Ming Men (Gate of Life, 命门) in the kidney is deficient and cannot generate spleen earth, at dawn when yang energy is about to rise, yang deficiency fails to secure closure, leading to diarrhea. One cannot solely blame the spleen and stomach. Gu Po Zhi is acrid and warm, capable of tonifying Minister Fire (Xiang Huo, 相火) to communicate with Sovereign Fire (Jun Huo, 君火); when fire is abundant, it generates earth; Rou Dou Kou warms the stomach and secures yang; Wu Zhu Yu dries the spleen and removes dampness; Wu Wei Zi tonifies the kidney and astringes essence; fresh ginger warms the middle; large dates tonify earth, also to prevent water flooding.]
(Decoction) Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, 陈皮), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 甘草), Fu Ling (Poria, 茯苓), Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, 干姜), Cao Dou Kou (Alpiniae Katsumadai Semen, 草豆蔻), and Mu Xiang (Aucklandiae Radix, 木香). Decoct and take with added fresh ginger to treat abdominal pain; effective for both deficiency-cold and distension-fullness. [Nou Pu (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, 厚朴) and Chen Pi each one qian; Gan Cao, Fu Ling, Cao Dou Kou, and Mu Xiang each five fen; Gan Jiang three fen; decoct with fresh ginger. Gan Jiang and Cao Dou Kou are acrid and hot to disperse cold; Chen Pi and Guang Mu Xiang are acrid and warm to regulate qi; Nou Pu is acrid and warm to dissipate fullness; Fu Ling is sweet and bland to promote urination and drain dampness; Gan Cao is sweet and neutral to harmonize the middle. When cold disperses and qi moves, pain and distension cease naturally.]
Chuan Lian Zi (Toosendan Fructus, 川楝子), Hui Xiang (Foeniculi Fructus, 小茴香), and Mu Xiang. Decoct with Wu Zhu Yu in long-flowing water to disperse cold, move qi, and benefit the small intestine. [Shan Qi (Hernia, 疝), also known as Small Intestine Qi. Chuan Lian Zi four qian, Mu Xiang two qian, Hui Xiang two qian, Wu Zhu Yu one qian; soak in water and decoct together. Chuan Lian Zi is bitter and cold, enters the Liver channel to relax sinews, and can guide heat from the Small Intestine and Bladder downward through urine; it is the Sovereign herb for treating hernia. Hui Xiang warms the stomach and disperses cold; Wu Zhu Yu warms the Liver and dries dampness; Mu Xiang moves qi through the Triple Burner.]
(Danxi) uses Li Zhi He (Litchi Seed, 荔枝核), supplemented by Zhi Zi (Gardeniae Fructus, 栀子), Shan Zha (Crataegi Fructus, 山楂), and Zhi Ke (Aurantii Fructus, 枳壳). [Li Zhi He has double knots, resembling testicles, enters the abdomen and kidneys, dispels cold and stagnation. Zhi Zi drains fire and promotes urination; Zhi Ke moves qi and breaks masses; Shan Zha disperses blood stasis and accumulations. Gao (Testis, 睾), pronounced 'gao', refers to the kidney child.] Add Wu Zhu Yu to warm the Jueyin (Liver Channel, 厥阴肝经). [Shan Qi is pathogenic factors of the Jueyin Liver channel, not a Kidney disease, because the Liver channel connects with the genital organs.] Decoct in long-flowing water to relieve hernia pain. [Equal parts, or powdered, taken on an empty stomach.]
