运气 拘急属寒,及寒湿风湿。经云∶诸寒收引,皆属于肾。又云∶太阴司天之政,民病寒厥拘急。初之
气,风湿相搏,民病经络拘强,关节不利,治法盖小续命汤、仲景三黄汤之类是也。
〔丹〕精滑专主湿热,用黄柏、知母、牡蛎、蛤粉。梦遗专主热,与带下同治法。
〔《本》〕治梦遗有数种∶下元虚惫,精不禁者,宜服茴香丸。年壮气盛,久节淫欲,经络壅滞者,宜服清
心丸。有情欲淫动,经谓所愿不得,名曰白淫,宜良方茯苓散。正如瓶中煎汤,气盛盈溢者,如瓶中沸汤而溢。
欲动心邪者,如瓶倾侧而出,惫虚不禁者,如瓶中有罅而漏,不可一概用药也。又有一说。经曰∶肾气闭即精
泄。《素问》云∶肾者作强之官,伎巧出焉。又曰∶肾藏精。盖肾能摄精气以生育人伦者也,或育或散,皆主于
肾。今肾气衰则一身之精气无所管摄,故妄行而出不时也。猪苓丸一方,正为此设。
〔《内》〕内伤气血不能固守梦遗者,当补以八物汤加减,吞樗根皮丸。
〔垣〕面色白而不泽《难经》云∶肺太过则令人面白善嚏,悲愁不乐欲哭。面色白为寒,脉沉厥急,按之
空虚,色白脱气,又为脱血,又为脱津,又为脱液,又为脱精,又为脱神,是元神漂浮乎外,将离体之象也。
其脉按之不鼓,犹为亡阳,况虚空者乎?病乃阴寒极矣。若脉或盛大而涩,犹为中寒之病也,况虚空者乎?宜
峻补之。

【运气学说】拘急(肢体拘挛紧张)属于寒邪,以及寒湿、风湿之邪。《内经》说:各种寒邪导致的收引(收缩牵引),都归属于肾。又说:太阴湿土司天之时,百姓容易患寒厥和拘急病。初之气阶段,风湿相互搏结,百姓出现经络拘强、关节不利的症状,治疗方法可用小续命汤、张仲景的三黄汤之类的方剂。
〔朱丹溪〕精液滑泄主要责之于湿热,使用黄柏、知母、牡蛎、蛤粉。梦遗(梦中遗精)主要责之于热,治疗原则与带下病相同。
〔《本草衍义》/寇宗奭〕治疗梦遗有几种情况:下元虚惫,精关不固者,适宜服用茴香丸。年壮气盛,长期节制房事,导致经络壅滞者,适宜服用清心丸。有情欲淫动,经书所说“所愿不得”,名为白淫(指因情志不畅而致的精液自出或白带异常),适宜用良方茯苓散。这就像瓶中煮汤,气盛满溢的情况,如同瓶中的沸水溢出;欲望心动邪念的情况,如同瓶子倾斜流出;虚惫不能控制的情况,如同瓶中有裂缝而渗漏,不可一概用药。又有一种说法。经书说:肾气闭阻则精泄。《素问》说:肾是作强之官,技巧由此产生。又说:肾藏精。肾能够摄纳精气以繁衍人类,或生育或散失,都由肾主宰。现在肾气衰弱,则一身精气无所管摄,所以妄行而出且不时发生。猪苓丸这一方剂,正是为此而设。
〔《黄帝内经》〕内伤气血,不能固守而导致梦遗者,应当用八物汤加减补益,并吞服樗根皮丸。
〔李东垣〕面色白而无光泽,《难经》说:肺太过则使人面白善嚏,悲愁不乐想哭。面色白为寒证,脉沉厥急,按之空虚,色白脱气,又是脱血,又是脱津,又是脱液,又是脱精,又是脱神,这是元神漂浮于外,即将离体的征象。其脉按之不鼓动,还是亡阳,何况是虚空的呢?病情乃是阴寒极盛了。如果脉盛大而涩,还是中寒的病,何况是虚空的呢?应当峻补。

龙骨(一两,另研) 大诃子皮(五个) 朱砂(一两,研细,一分为衣) 缩砂仁(半两)

经书说:思想无穷,所愿不得,意淫于外,入房太甚,宗筋弛纵,发为白淫梦遗等症状。先贤治法有五种:上法用辰砂、磁石、龙骨之类,镇坠神之浮游,这是一法。其二思想结成痰饮,迷于心窍而遗者,许学士用猪苓丸之类,导利其痰是也。(方剂见治郁条。)其三思想伤阴者,洁古珍珠粉丸用蛤粉、黄柏降火补阴是也。(方剂见热条。)其四思想伤阳者,谦甫鹿茸、苁蓉、菟丝子等补阳是也。(方剂见白浊条。)其五阴阳俱虚者,丹溪治疗一个形体瘦的人,便浊梦遗,作心虚治疗,用珍珠粉丸、定志丸服用。定志丸,就是远志、菖蒲、茯苓、人参。年少壮节欲遗泄者,宜清心丸、珍珠粉丸。(清心方见热条。)

[Theory of Six Qi] Spasm (limb stiffness and tension) belongs to Cold, as well as Cold-Dampness and Wind-Dampness. The *Neijing* states: All cold pathogens causing contraction (shrinkage and traction) belong to the Kidney. It also states: When Taiyin Damp-Soil governs the year, the people are prone to Cold-Jue and spasm diseases. During the first Qi phase, Wind and Dampness contend with each other, leading to symptoms of meridians being stiff and joints being unflexible in the populace. The treatment method can involve formulas such as Xiao Xuming Tang or Zhang Zhongjing's Sanhuang Tang.
[Zhu Danxi] Spermatorrhea is primarily attributed to Damp-Heat, treated with Huangbai, Zhimu, Muli, and Gafen. Nocturnal emission is primarily attributed to Heat, and its treatment principle is the same as that for leukorrhea.
*[Bencao Yanyi]* There are several types of nocturnal emission treatment: For deficiency and exhaustion of the lower origin with insecure essence gate, Huixiang Wan is suitable. For those in their prime with vigorous qi who have long abstained from sexual desire, causing stagnation in the meridians, Qingxin Wan is suitable. For those with lustful movements, described in the classics as "desires unfulfilled," named Baiyin (referring to spontaneous emission of semen or abnormal vaginal discharge due to emotional frustration), Liangfang Fuling San is suitable. This is like boiling soup in a bottle; when qi is excessive and overflows, it is like boiling water overflowing from a bottle. When desire moves and evil thoughts arise, it is like a tilted bottle pouring out liquid. When exhausted and unable to control, it is like a bottle with cracks leaking. Medicines cannot be used indiscriminately. There is another theory. The classics say: When Kidney Qi is blocked, essence leaks. The *Suwen* says: The Kidney is the official of strength, and skills emerge from it. It also says: The Kidney stores essence. The Kidney can grasp essence and qi to reproduce humanity; whether reproducing or scattering, it is all governed by the Kidney. Now, if Kidney Qi declines, the essence and qi of the whole body are unmanaged, so they leak out randomly and untimely. The formula Zhuling Wan is specifically designed for this.
*[Huangdi Neijing]* For internal injury to qi and blood failing to secure, leading to nocturnal emission, one should supplement with Bawu Tang modified, and swallow Chugenpi Wan.
[Li Dongyuan] A white complexion without luster. The *Nanjing* says: If Lung is too excessive, it causes a white face, frequent sneezing, sadness, and a desire to cry. A white face indicates Cold. Pulse is deep, Jue, and urgent; pressing reveals emptiness. White complexion with loss of qi indicates also loss of blood, loss of fluids, loss of body fluids, loss of essence, loss of spirit. This is a sign that the Yuan Shen floats outside, about to leave the body. If the pulse does not throb upon pressing, it indicates Yang collapse, let alone emptiness. The disease is extremely Yin-Cold. If the pulse is large and choppy, it is still a Middle-Cold disease, let alone emptiness. One should strongly tonify.
Baji Wan Treats dual deficiency of Liver and Kidney, consolidates essence and qi, tonifies Yuan Yang, fills the skin and muscles, and improves appetite.
Wuweizi, Chuan Bajitian (remove heart), Rousongrong (wine-washed), Tusizi (fried), Renshen, Baizhu, Shudi, Gusuibu (remove hairs), Huixiang, Muli, Bailonggu, Fupenzi, Yizhiren (equal parts).
Grind into powder, make pills with refined honey, size of Sophora japonica seeds. Take 30 pills each time, before meals on an empty stomach with rice drink, two or three times a day. Tonifies essence and stops sweating. (For severe deficiency, take with Bawu Tang.)
*[Bencao Yanyi]* Treats spermatorrhea and nocturnal emission, insecure lock and key. Jinluo Dan, also known as Huixiang Wan.
Bo Shang Huixiang, Huluba, Poguzhi (Buguzhi), Bailonggu (each 1 liang), Muxiang (1.5 liang), Hetao (30 nuts, ground), Yangshen Gao (3 pairs, cut open, rubbed with half a liang of salt, roasted until cooked, ground into paste).
Grind the above five herbs into powder, mix with the two pastes, soak in wine, steam steamed bread, pound until ripe, make pills size of Sophora japonica seeds. Take 30-50 pills each time, before meals on an empty stomach with salt water.

Grind into powder, make pills with refined honey, size of Sophora japonica seeds. Take 50 pills each time, with warm wine, salt water is also acceptable. Take before meals on an empty stomach, press with good food afterwards. (*Meishi Fang* uses only Bailonggu 4 fen and Jiuizi 5 he, ground into powder, taken with wine on an empty stomach with a square-inch spoon, treating temporary leakage after sleep. *Shenghui Fang* uses only lightly fried Jiuizi powder, taken with wine before meals, two coin-sized spoons, treating nocturnal emission. *Waitai* formula uses 2 sheng of fresh Jiuizi, dried after frost in October, soaked in 8 ge of good wine overnight. On a sunny next day, have a boy pound it 10,000 times facing south. Take with warm wine at dawn using a square-inch spoon, treating deficiency consumption with urine containing essence; cure after two doses. These show that Bailonggu and Jiuizi are essential medicines for treating seminal leakage.)
[Mei Biao] Treats chronic insecurity of slippery essence. Use Muli, amount unspecified, quench seven times in vinegar in a clay pot, grind into fine powder, make pills with vinegar paste, size of Sophora japonica seeds. Take 50 pills each time, before meals on an empty stomach with salt water.
The above examples of Longgu and Muli treating nocturnal emission. Wang Yuan had deficiency and seminal leakage, pulse was wiry and large. Repeatedly given Jiabian Bawu Tang, swallowing Hejian Mizhen Wan and Zhenzhu Fen Wan, but leakage continued. Later used Wubeizi 1 liang and Fuling 2 liang, made into pills, cured effectively. This shows that the astringent power of Wubeizi is more sensitive than Longgu and Gafen.

Someone nearly seventy years old, weak from nocturnal leakage, breathless and deficient, took this formula and became strong instantly, essence secured, appetite normal. I often prepare and take it myself, with good results.
The classics say: Endless thinking, desires unfulfilled, mind wandering externally, excessive sexual activity, causing relaxation of the Zongjin (tendons), leading to Baiyin and nocturnal emission. The ancients had five treatment methods: The first method uses Chen Sha, Cishi, Longgu, etc., to anchor floating Shen, which is one approach. The second: Thinking forms Phlegm-Fluid, confusing the Heart orifice leading to emission; Xu Xueshi used Zhuling Wan to guide out the Phlegm. (Formula see Treating Stagnation section.) The third: Thinking injures Yin; Jiegu Zhenzhu Fen Wan uses Gafen and Huangbai to descend fire and tonify Yin. (Formula see Heat section.) The fourth: Thinking injures Yang; Qianfu uses Lurong, Rongrong, Tusizi, etc., to tonify Yang. (Formula see White Turbidity section.) The fifth: Dual deficiency of Yin and Yang; Danxi treated a thin person with turbid urine and nocturnal emission as Heart deficiency, using Zhenzhu Fen Wan and Dingzhi Wan. Dingzhi Wan consists of Yuanzhi, Changpu, Fuling, Renshen. For young men with vigorous constitution who emit due to abstinence, Qingxin Wan and Zhenzhu Fen Wan are suitable. (Qingxin formula see Heat section.)
[Zhang Yuansu] Zhenzhu Fen Wan Treats Baiyin, nocturnal emission, seminal leakage, and sliding without retention.
Huangbapi (1 jin, fried red on new tile), Zhen Gafen (1 jin).
Grind into fine powder, make pills with dripping water, size of Sophora japonica seeds. Take 100 pills each time, before meals on an empty stomach with warm wine. The method states: Yang excess attacks Yin, hence essence leaks. Huangbai descends fire, Gafen is salty and tonifies Kidney Yin.
[Zhu Danxi] Formula for uncontrollable slippery essence. Use Haigefen, Qingdai, Xiangfu, Huangbai, Zhimu, etc.
[Wang Haicang] Dafengsui Dan Treats excessive Heart Fire and Yang, tonifying true Kidney Water deficiency. When the Heart has desire, it is quickly moved, responding in the Kidney with rapid emission. This formula secures Yuan Yuan, descends Heart Fire, benefits Kidney Water, with great spiritual efficacy.
Huangbai (fried, 2 liang), Suosha (1 liang), Gancao (half liang), Banxia (fried), Mumuling, Fuling, Honglianxin, Yizhiren (each 3 qian 5 fen).
Make into pills, take 50-70 pills each time. If using only Huangbai, Gancao, Suosha, it is Zheng Fengsui Dan. If using only Huangbai and Gancao, it is Fengsui Dan.
The ancients said: It is not to drain the Heart, but to drain Ministerial Fire and benefit Kidney Water.
*[Bencao Yanyi]* Treats meridian heat nocturnal emission, palpitations,恍惚 (fluctuation/confusion), chest heat. Qingxin Wan.
Use good Huangbapi 1 liang, grind into fine powder, add Shengnaozi 1 qian, mix evenly, make pills with refined honey, size of Sophora japonica seeds. Take 10-15 pills each time, swallow with concentrated decoction of Maidong. Chan Dashizhi said: Nocturnal emission cannot be entirely treated as deficiency-cold; there are also cases caused by meridian heat. Once treated a man with back heat at night and nocturnal emission; used Zhenzhu Fen Wan and Zhuling Wan to stop emission, finally took Zixue, and back heat was removed. Another man with surging pulse, waist heat, and seminal leakage; treated with Chenxiang Hezhong Wan to purge, and Daochi San to treat fire, and cured. From this, we know that emission accompanied by body heat is all heat-emission.
[Zhang Zhongjing] For those who lose essence, the lower abdomen is tense and urgent, the glans is cold, dizziness, hair loss, pulse is extremely deficient, knotted, and slow, indicating clear stool, loss of blood, and loss of essence. If the pulse is knotted, moving, slightly tight, men lose essence, women have nocturnal coitus, Guizhi Longgu Muli Tang governs.
Guizhi, Shaoyao, Shengjiang (each 3 liang), Gancao (2 liang), Dazao (12 pieces), Longgu, Muli (each 3 liang).
Seven ingredients, water 7 sheng, boil to 3 sheng, divide into three warm doses.
Tianxiong San Formula
Tianxiong (roasted), Longgu (each 3 liang), Baizhu (8 liang), Guizhi (6 liang).
Four ingredients, pound into powder, take half a coin-spoon with wine, three times a day. If not stopped, increase slightly.
In my youth, I suffered from nocturnal emission, occurring every 45 days. Repeatedly used Fengsui Dan and Hejian Mizhen Wan, with slight effect but no root cure. Later changed to Changpu, Yuanzhi, Jiuizi, Sangpiaoxiao, Yizhi, Suanzaoren, Muli, Longgu, Suoyang, etc., made into pills, cured well.
Another middle-aged man with nocturnal emission, took Zhenzhu Fen Wan etc., with no effect. Also treated with Yuanzhi, Changpu etc., cured immediately.
*[Bencao Yanyi]* Zhuling Wan
Use Banxia 1 liang, broken bean-sized, Zhuling powder 2 liang. First fry half the Banxia until yellow, not burnt, remove fire toxicity, take Banxia powder, make pills with paste, size of Sophora japonica seeds. When dry, fry the remaining half of Zhuling powder with the pills until slightly cracked, put in clay jar to store. Take 30-40 pills before meals on an empty stomach with warm wine/salt water. Often take, with warm wine between Shen and Wei hours. This is an ancient formula, currently popular, but few understand its use. Banxia has draining properties, Zhuling guides water, implying the meaning of unblocking Kidney closure to allow Qi flow. I kept this medicine in my medical bag, gave 3-5 doses in emergencies, all effective. Lin Jiancheng Bimin also cured after several doses.
Detailing these formulas for nocturnal emission, more than half belong to stagnation. Quack doctors do not know the stagnation, only using astringents like Longgu, Muli to secure collapse, not knowing that more astringency leads to more stagnation, making the disease worse. Often treated a young man with nocturnal emission and white turbidity, gas rushing up from lower abdomen, daily waist heat, cool at dusk, cold hands and feet when waist heats, no Qi in anterior yin, warm hands and feet when waist heat subsides. More flatulence in morning, belching in evening, occasional tremors, emission every 10-20 days, pulse wiry, slippery, large in morning, surging, large at noon. I knew there was stagnation, first used Chenxiang Hezhong Wan to purge heavily, then Jiabian Bawu Tang swallowing Zishen Wan 100 pills. If given even a little Gafen or other astringents, emission and turbidity worsened, or twice a night. Then changed to Daochi San large dose decoction, emission and turbidity stopped, gradually stable. Another middle-aged man with nocturnal emission, doctor gave astringents, worsened, emitted continuously for nights. I first gave Shenxiong Wan to purge heavily, then made this Zhuling Wan, both recovered. Also Mr. Danxi treated General Xiao Boshan with turbid urine and uncontrollable slippery essence, hundred medicines failed, tried Dao Cang Fa and stabilized. From this, we see many cases of nocturnal emission belonging to stagnation.
