某患者 去年患有眩晕、心跳,甚至心气昏沉模糊,经过“壮水涵木”(滋补肾阴以涵养肝木)而化解了肝热,各种症状较之前大幅减轻。只是心悸仍未完全痊愈,时常感到胆怯。肝胆均属五行中的“木”,肝木主升发,胆木主降泄,这是生理上的平和状态。如果肝气升发太过,则胆气下降不及,导致胆气漂浮拔根,自然会出现气馁之象,这属于胆病和肝病。《内经》说:“虚证要补其母。”木之母为水(肾)。所以降低胆气必须先平息肝阳,平息肝阳必须先滋养肾阴。

Wang (Left) Yin deficiency with phlegm accumulation, Gallbladder and Stomach Qi failing to descend, Liver Yang moving secretly. Whenever sleep is imminent, palpitations and startle occur. Medicated shell substances are prescribed to settle the Liver and subdue Yang.

Certain patient Last year suffered from vertigo and palpitations, even to the point of mental confusion due to Heart Qi. After nourishing Water to nurture Wood (nourishing Kidney Yin to support Liver), Liver Heat was resolved, and various symptoms significantly subsided. However, palpitations have not completely ceased, and timidity is occasionally felt. The Liver and Gallbladder both belong to Wood in the Five Elements; Liver Wood ascends, while Gallbladder Wood descends, constituting a state of harmony. If Liver ascent is excessive, Gallbladder descent is insufficient, causing Gallbladder Wood to float and become uprooted, naturally leading to Qi deficiency. This constitutes disease of the Gallbladder and Liver. The Classics state: "For deficiency, tonify its mother." The mother of Wood is Water (Kidney). Therefore, to lower Gallbladder Qi, one must first extinguish Liver Yang; to extinguish Liver Yang, one must first nourish Kidney Yin.

Third visit: The waist is the mansion of the Kidney; the thighs and legs are governed by the extraordinary vessels. Soreness in the waist and thighs indicates obvious Kidney deficiency. The Jueyin Liver Meridian ascends to the forehead and intersects at the vertex. The Liver functions on the left and governs Blood. Left-sided headache indicates Blood deficiency and hyperactive Wood, which is evident. Palpitations with throbbing, occasional insomnia, indicate Water deficiency causing Wind-Yang to shake and disturb. As stated, "bending and straightening, trembling," these are signs of Wind. Nourishing Kidney Water to extinguish Wind is the established principle of treatment.
