The essence of all zang-fu organs is transported to the Kidney, but it is constantly disturbed by Fire. When Fire moves, the Kidney's sealing and storing function becomes insecure. The Heart belongs to Ministerial Fire (the sovereign fire governing vital activities), while the Liver and Kidney belong to Assistant Fire (the ministerial fire assisting the sovereign fire). Once the Sovereign Fire stirs, the Assistant Fire follows, leading to nocturnal emission in dreams. During sexual intercourse, the spirit of the Heart and the soul of the Liver are幻化 (transformed) and connected. The Classics state: "Unresolved fear injures the essence, causing it to leak spontaneously." It also states: "When Jue Qi lodges in the genitalia, one dreams of sexual intercourse." However, there are cases of emission during dreams and cases of spontaneous leakage without dreams. Ancients believed that emission during dreams is caused by the excessive strength of Assistant Fire; whereas spontaneous leakage without dreams is mostly due to injury of the Heart and Kidney. Furthermore, although symptoms may appear in the five zang organs requiring comprehensive treatment, it is ultimately more concise to "treat the Heart for dream emissions and the Kidney for non-dream emissions." Upon detailed investigation of causes:
1. If Heart Yang is secretly blazing and Kidney Yin is internally scorched, use the method of cooling the Heart and securing the Kidney. Modify Buxin Dan (Tonify the Heart Decoction).
2. If Kidney essence has been deficient since youth and Assistant Fire easily moves, use rich foods to fill the essence. Such as Shu Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata), Yubiao (Bladder of Sus scrofa domestica), Gou Qi Zi (Lycii Fructus), Yang Shen (Ovis/Caprae Testis), Zhu Ji Sui (Porci Medulla Spinalis), Qing Yan (Sal), Wu Wei Zi (Schisandrae Fructus). Shell-type substances to subdue Yang, such as Gui Jia (Testudo Carapax et Plastrum), Mu Li (Ostreae Concha), Dan Cai (Mytilus edulis). Assist with yin-nourishing and astringent herbs, such as Shan Yao (Dioscoreae Rhizoma), Lian Zi (Nelumbinis Semen), Qian Shi (Euryales Semen), Tu Si Zi (Cuscutae Semen), Sang Piao Xiao (Mantis Oötheca).
3. If Dragon and Tiger fires interact and blaze, causing loss of yin essence, vigorously tonify True Yin to control Assistant Fire. Use Sancai Fengsui Dan (Three Immortals Sealing Marrow Pill), Zishen Wan (Nourish Kidney Pill), or Dabu Yin Wan (Great Tonification of Yin Pill).
4. If mental exertion is excessive and the Heart fails to control the Kidney, facilitate communication between Heart and Kidney. Use Yuanzhi Wan (Polygalae Pill) or Zuolingsha Dan (Assisting Cinnabar Barium Pill).
5. If worry and overwork cause stagnation injuring Spleen Qi, soothe and nourish Spleen Ying. Use Guipi Tang (Restore the Spleen Decoction).
6. If Spleen Qi is deficient and sinking, use Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction).
7. If Kidney deficiency leads to insecurity, use 2 liang of Wu Bei Zi (Galla Chinensis) and 4 liang of Fu Ling (Poria) made into pills; this is effective.
8. If accumulated desires are unfulfilled, calm the spirit, secure qi, resolve stagnation, and soothe the Liver. Use Miaoxiang San (Wonderful Incense Powder) taken with Yuhua Bai Dan (Jade Flower White Pill).
9. If the sperm gate has been slippery for a long time with emission without dreams, secure and stop collapse. Use Sangpiao Xiao San (Mantis Oötheca Powder) or Jin Suo Yu Guan Wan (Golden Lock Jade Gate Pill).
10. If sexual excess leads to deficiency and exhaustion of the lower origin, with yang sinking during sleep causing uncontrollable seminal emission, raise and secure the qi of the Eight Extraordinary Vessels. Use Gujing Wan (Secure Essence Pill) or Liuwei Tang (Six-Ingredient Decoction) plus Luzhu (Cervi Cornu Degelatinatum), Tusiren (Cuscutae Semen), Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus), Longchi (Dinosaur Bone), Rongrong (Cibotii Rhizoma).
11. If a strong young man abstains for a long time, resulting in fullness and overflow of essence, clear fire and calm the spirit. Use Sheng Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix), Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma), Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex), Changpu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma), Yuanzhi (Polygalae Radix), Fushen (Poria with Hostwood), Lianzi (Nelumbinis Semen).
12. If yin deficiency fails to secure and damp-heat pours downward causing emission, drain heat and guide out dampness. Use Bi Xie (Dioscoreae Hypoglaucae Rhizoma), Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma), Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex), Fu Ling (Poria), Ze Xie (Alismatis Rhizoma), Yi Yi Ren (Coicis Semen), or Mijing Wan (Secret Essence Pill).
13. If rich wine and food brew damp-heat in the Spleen and Stomach, lingering in the yin causing dream emission, clear phlegm-fire. Use Erchen Tang (Two-Aged Decoction) plus Cang Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Sheng Ma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma), Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix).
14. If heat from meridians pours downward, causing back-center heat at night and emission, use Zhuling Wan (Polyporus Pill) or Qingxin Yin (Clear Heart Infusion).
15. There are also cases influenced by demonic entities, characterized by aversion to people, solitary laughter, occasional weeping, pulse fluctuating between large and small or faint and indeterminate, with unchanged complexion. This is their presentation. Taking Suhexiang Wan (Styrax Pill) is effective.
Since the causes differ, whether presenting as nocturnal emission or leakage varies, and treatment must be differentiated accordingly. Generally, for Yang deficiency, urgently tonify Qi using Luzhu Dabu Tang (Deer Antler Great Tonification Decoction). For Yin deficiency, urgently benefit Essence using Dabu Yin Wan (Great Tonification of Yin Pill) or Dazao Wan (Great Creation Pill). For excessive Yang, urgently drain Fire using Buyin Xiehuo Tang (Tonify Yin Drain Fire Decoction) or Ziyin Jianghuo Tang (Nourish Yin Descend Fire Decoction).
