《素问》说：腰是肾的府邸，如果腰部转动摇动困难，说明肾气将要衰竭了。仔细审视这种说法，就知道肾脏与腰部相关联，多因为房事过度，劳累损伤也会导致肾虚。
又论述道：腰痛属于肾脏的疾病。多因为劳役损伤肾脏，导致肾脏气虚，风寒湿邪得以侵袭，愤怒忧郁思虑也会伤害肾脏。
现在的人常常患腰痛，不分虚实，大多使用牵牛子这类药物，却不知道牵牛子的药性会损伤肾气。
既然肾气已经有所受损，如果是确实的气滞腰痛，服用一两次是可以的。如果服用后无效，可以用橘核温酒送下小七香丸，效果最佳。所谓“看不上表面”，自有奇效。万一若是肾虚腰痛，岂能使用牵牛子？务必谨慎！

The above two herbs are taken in equal parts, ground into a fine powder. Each dose is two qian, mixed with clear tea water for administration, or alternatively mixed with scallion white tea decoction, taken after meals.
Treats head wind disease.
Xionghuang (Realgar, ground to extremely fine powder, half liang), Xixin (Asari Root, washed and leaves removed, half liang), Chuanwu Jian (Aconitum Carmichaelii Lateral Root, skin removed, five pieces, used raw)
The above herbs are ground into a fine powder. Each dose is one zi amount, mixed with a small amount of ginger juice and tea bud decoction, taken after meals.
The Suwen states: The waist is the mansion of the Kidney; if turning and shaking the waist is difficult, it indicates that the Kidney Qi is about to fail. Examining this statement closely, we know that the Kidneys are connected to the waist. This is often due to excessive sexual desire, and fatigue and injury also lead to Kidney deficiency.
Another discussion states: Waist pain belongs to the Kidney. It is often caused by labor injuring the Kidney, leading to Kidney Qi deficiency, allowing Wind-Cold-Dampness pathogens to invade, and anger, depression, and worry also damage the Kidney.
People nowadays often suffer from waist pain. Regardless of deficiency or excess, they mostly administer drugs like Qian Niu (Pharbitis Seed). They do not realize that the nature of Qian Niu damages Kidney Qi.
Since Kidney Qi has already been damaged, if it is indeed waist pain caused by Qi stagnation, taking one or two doses is acceptable. If there is no effect after taking it, using Ju He (Areca Seed) with warm wine to deliver Xiao Qixiang Wan (Minor Seven Fragments Pill) is best. As the saying goes, "looking beyond the surface," there will be miraculous effects. If it is waist pain due to Kidney deficiency, how could Qian Niu be used? One must be cautious!
Formula for treating Cold damaging the Kidney Meridian, causing waist pain so severe that flexion and extension are impossible. (See the section on Cold Discussion in the Gate of Various Colds)

The above herbs are chopped. Each dose is four qian, boiled with one and a half cups of water and seven slices of fresh ginger until reduced to 0.7 cup volume. Strain the dregs, and take warm before meals on an empty stomach.
Formula for treating Wind damaging the Kidney Meridian, causing waist pain as if being pulled or jerked.
