夫肾主元气,天一之水生焉;肺主冲化,地四之金属焉。元气乃水中之火,所以太阳合
少阴,主精髓以滋血;冲化乃土中之金,所以太阴合阳明,主肌肉以养气。今肾虚则火亏,
致阳水凝滞;肺满则土溢,使阳金沉潜,沉潜则气闭,凝滞则血淖,经络不通,上为喘急,
下为肿满。故《经》曰∶肾为少阴,肺为太阴,其本在肾,其末在肺,皆至阴以积水也。所
以能聚水而生病者,盖肾为胃关,关键不利,枢机不转,水乃不行,渗透经络,皮肤浮肿。
诸证不同,广如《经》说。《治法》曰∶平治权衡者,察脉之浮沉也;去莞陈 者,疏
涤肠胃也;开鬼门,洁净府者,发汗、利小便也。原其所因,则冒风寒暑湿属外,喜怒忧思
属内,饮食劳逸背于常经属不内外,皆致此疾。治之,当究其所因及诸禁忌而为治也。

肾主管元气,天一之水由此产生;肺主管冲脉的化生,地四之金由此对应。元气是水中之火,所以太阳经与少阴经相合,主管精髓以滋养血液;冲脉的化生是土中之金,所以太阴经与阳明经相合,主管肌肉以养气。如今肾虚则火亏,导致阳水凝滞;肺满则土溢,使阳金沉潜,沉潜则气机闭塞,凝滞则血液浑浊,经络不通,上表现为喘急,下表现为肿满。所以《内经》说:肾为少阴,肺为太阴,其根本在肾,其标末在肺,都是由于至阴之气积聚水湿所致。之所以能聚水而生病,是因为肾是胃的关口,关键不利,枢机不转,水液不能正常运行,渗透入经络,皮肤浮肿。各种症状不同,广泛详见《内经》所述。《治法》说:平治权衡,是指观察脉象的浮沉;去菀陈莝,是指疏通涤荡肠胃;开鬼门,洁净府,是指发汗、利小便。追溯病因,冒风寒暑湿属于外因,喜怒忧思属于内因,饮食劳逸违背常道属于不内外因,都导致此病。治疗时,应当探究病因及各种禁忌来进行治疗。
Treats Heart Qi insecurity, various deficiencies and hundred damages, heavy limbs, unhappy mood, strange dreams at night, nocturnal sweating and seminal emission, fear, irritability, palpitations, unpredictable anger or joy, dry mouth and throat, thirst with desire to drink water, reduced appetite, emaciated muscles, gradually developing into consumptive disease (Lao Zhai). Regular use can tonify essence and blood, regulate Heart Qi, promote appetite, calm the mind and preserve the center; its effects cannot be fully described.
Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), Huang Qi (Astragali Radix), Bai Fu Ling (Poria), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), Shan Yao (Dioscoreae Rhizoma), Lian Rou (Lotus Seed, heart removed, each 1 liang), Suo Sha Ren (Amomi Fructus Rotundus), Wu Yao (Linderae Radix), Ju Hong (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Rubrum), Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, processed, each 0.5 liang), Gan Cao (Licorice Root, honey-fried, 3 fen), Nan Mu Xiang (Costi Radix), Ding Xiang (Caryophylli Flos), Tan Xiang (Santalum Album Lignum, each 1 fen), Chen Xiang (Aquilariae Lignum Resinatum, 2 qian).
Grind the above into coarse powder. Take 4 qian per dose, add one large cup of water, three slices of fresh ginger, and one jujube. Decoct until reduced to 70%, strain, and take before meals. Another method includes adding 0.5 liang of prepared Shu Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata).
The Kidney governs Yuan Qi (Original Qi), from which Tian Yi (Heavenly One) Water arises; the Lung governs Chong transformation, corresponding to Di Si (Earthly Four) Metal. Yuan Qi is fire within water; thus, the Taiyang channel combines with Shaoyin to govern essence and marrow to nourish blood. Chong transformation is metal within earth; thus, the Taiyin channel combines with Yangming to govern muscles to nourish Qi. Now, Kidney deficiency leads to fire decline, causing Yang Water stagnation; Lung fullness leads to Earth overflow, making Yang Metal sink and subside. Subsidence causes Qi closure, stagnation causes Blood turbidity, meridians become obstructed, manifesting upper as panting and urgency, lower as swelling and fullness. Therefore, the *Classic* states: The Kidney is Shaoyin, the Lung is Taiyin; the root lies in the Kidney, the branch lies in the Lung, both accumulating water due to Extreme Yin. The reason for accumulating water and causing disease is that the Kidney is the gate of the Stomach; if the gate is not smooth and the pivot does not turn, water fails to circulate, infiltrates the meridians, and causes skin edema. Various symptoms differ, widely detailed in the *Classic*. The *Treatment Methods* state: Balancing and weighing refers to observing the floating or sinking of the pulse; removing woody weeds and old vegetation refers to clearing and purging the intestines and stomach; opening the ghost door (sweating) and cleansing the palace (urination) refers to inducing sweating and promoting urination. Tracing the etiology, exposure to wind, cold, summer-heat, and dampness belongs to external causes; anger, joy, worry, and thought belong to internal causes; diet and labor/rest deviating from normal routines belong to neither-internal-nor-external causes, all leading to this disease. Treatment should investigate the etiology and various contraindications to guide therapy.
