（精滑）
经曰∶精者身之本，生气之源，髓之化也。又曰∶阴平阳秘，精神乃治；阴阳离决，精神乃
竭。盖精之藏摄在肾，精之主宰在心。心为君火，肾为相火。相奉君命，故病在肾而责在心。心
藏神，神动精泄。病机有五∶曰梦交，火炽神虚，宜养心药敛。曰滑脱，肾虚不摄，宜滋补肾气
。曰满溢，少壮鳏旷，宜静默精化（精能化气）。曰情想，妄言视听，宜摄意降心。曰湿热，伤
热流通，宜渗湿清火。大都制相火，壮肾水，宁心神，固精髓，不易法也。尺脉洪数，失精便浊
；心脉短小，主梦遗。

(Spermatorrhea)
The *Neijing* states: Essence is the root of the body, the source of vital energy, and the transformation of marrow. It also states: When Yin is peaceful and Yang is secure, spirit and mind are regulated; when Yin and Yang separate and rupture, spirit and mind will be exhausted. Generally, the storage and control of essence reside in the Kidney, while the command over essence lies in the Heart. The Heart belongs to Ministerial Fire (Jun Huo), and the Kidney to Official Fire (Xiang Huo). Official fire obeys the orders of Ministerial fire; therefore, although the pathology is located in the Kidney, the responsibility lies with the Heart. The Heart stores the Shen (Spirit); when Shen moves, essence leaks. There are five pathogenic mechanisms: 1. Dream intercourse, due to blazing fire and deficient Shen, should be treated with herbs that nourish the Heart and astringe; 2. Slippage and loss, due to Kidney deficiency failing to grasp, should be treated by nourishing and tonifying Kidney Qi; 3. Fullness and overflow, due to young widowers or celibate men, should be managed by quietude allowing essence to transform naturally (essence can transform into Qi); 4. Emotional desire, due to delusional speech and visual/auditory stimulation, requires controlling thoughts and subduing the Heart; 5. Damp-heat, due to heat damaging free flow, requires draining dampness and clearing fire. Broadly speaking, restraining Official Fire, strengthening Kidney Water, calming the Heart Spirit, and securing essence and marrow are unchanging principles. A surging and rapid pulse at the Chi position indicates loss of essence and turbid urine; a short and small pulse at the Cun position indicates dream emission.
