肾水亏虚,不能滋养肝木,导致肝气郁结而不舒畅,必然出现两胁部胀满憋闷的症状。肝木无法生助肾中的命门之火(此处原文逻辑似有倒置或特指肝肾同源之理,按原文直译:肝木不能生肾中之火),则……

此方中,熟地黄、山茱萸是补肾的药物,而当归、白芍、柴胡、肉桂是补肝的药材。既然去除了……

肾是水脏(藏精之腑)。心是火脏(藏神之腑)。这样看来,心和肾这两条经络如同仇敌一般,似乎不适宜将它们牵连在一起共同治疗。

此方的妙处在于,治疗肾脏的药物少于治疗心脏的药味,因为心君安宁宁静,肾气自然安定,怎么会引起心动呢?这是通过治肾来治心,治心也就是治肾,这就是所谓的心肾相互依存。
真热证表现为极度口渴呼叫要水喝,舌头极度干燥并开裂长出芒刺,咽喉疼痛日夜不停,身体高热烫手且无汗。真寒证表现为手足寒冷……
虽然口干但不燥烈,即使干燥也没有剧烈的裂纹和芒刺。假寒证表现为手足冰冷但有时温和,四肢厥冷和身体颤抖也不至于太严重,并且有时安静,有时抽搐。

Kidney Water (Jing/Essence fluid of the Kidney) is deficient and cannot nourish Liver Wood, causing Liver Qi to become depressed and stagnant. This inevitably leads to symptoms of fullness and oppression in the hypochondriac region. If Liver Wood fails to generate Fire within the Kidney...

The Kidney is a Water Zang-Organ (the organ storing Essence). The Heart is a Fire Zang-Organ (the organ housing the Spirit). Thus, the Heart and Kidney meridians appear like enemies, seemingly unsuitable for concurrent treatment involving both.

The brilliance of this formula lies in the fact that there are fewer herbs treating the Kidney than those treating the Heart. When the Heart Monarch is tranquil and quiet, Kidney Qi naturally settles; how could it cause Heart agitation? Treating the Kidney is precisely treating the Heart, and treating the Heart is treating the Kidney. This is what is meant by the mutual dependence of the Heart and Kidney.

Although there is dryness in the mouth, it is not parched; even if dry, there are no severe cracks or sharp prickles. False Cold Syndrome manifests as cold hands and feet that are sometimes warm, with limb coldness (Jue Ni) and body tremors that are not too severe, characterized by periods of calm alternating with spasms.
