Buzhen Wan (Tonify True Pill)
Generally, when patients do not eat and treatments targeting the Spleen and Stomach are ineffective, it is sometimes said that... Due to improper self-care after birth, sexual exhaustion... True Yang becomes weak, Kan Fire (Kidney Fire) is not warm, unable to steam upwards to nourish Spleen Earth, harmonious Qi is lost, Middle Jiao fails to transport, resulting in poor appetite, chest and diaphragm stuffiness... fullness without eating, or indigestion after eating, loose stools in the large intestine. These are all caused by deficiency of True Fire failing to steam and nourish Spleen Earth. Ancient texts say tonifying the Kidney is better than tonifying the Spleen; I believe tonifying the Spleen is inferior to tonifying the Kidney. If Kidney Qi is strong, the Fire of the Dantian steams upwards to Spleen Earth, Spleen Earth becomes warm, the Middle Jiao regulates itself, and diaphragmatic food obstruction is resolved.
