（张景岳）治疗真阴肾水不足，不能滋养营卫，逐渐导致身体衰弱。或者出现虚热往来、自汗盗汗。或者神志不宁、血液失于固摄。或者遗精滑泄、小便不禁，或者口燥舌干，或者腰酸腿软。或者头晕眼花、耳聋。凡是精髓内亏、津液枯竭等证候，都应当迅速滋补肾阴（壮水之主），以培补左肾的元阴，那么精血自然就会充盈，这个方剂主治此类病症。

（张景岳）治疗肾水干枯，虚火上蒸脾胃，导致阴土受亏，以致饮食不进、大便燥结。甚至发展到三阳经气闭阻、即将形成噎膈病。如果在早期治疗，没有不痊愈的。曾经用此方加入当归、白芍，治疗伤寒症见舌黑唇焦、大渴引饮。这一定是因为服用攻伐寒凉药物过多所致，此方可用于救治。治疗疟疾兼有燥证，热重寒轻者，此方更为适宜。

(Zhang Jingyue) Treats insufficiency of true yin and kidney water, which fails to nourish Ying (Nutritive Qi) and Wei (Defensive Qi), gradually leading to physical decline. Symptoms may include alternating deficiency-heat, spontaneous sweating, or night sweats. It addresses restless spirit and blood failing to return to its source, enuresis or incontinence, dry mouth and tongue, soreness and weakness of the lower back and legs, dizziness, blurred vision, and deafness. For all such syndromes characterized by internal depletion of essence and marrow, and exhaustion of body fluids, it is appropriate to rapidly tonify the "Master of Water" (Kidney Yin) to cultivate the primordial yin of the left kidney, thereby naturally replenishing essence and blood. This formula is indicated for these conditions.

(Zhang Jingyue) Treats dried-up kidney water where deficient fire steams upward to affect the spleen and stomach, causing deficiency of the Yin earth, resulting in loss of appetite and dry, hard stools. In severe cases, it may lead to obstruction of the three Yang meridians and impending development of Ye Ge (Dysphagia/Regurgitation). If treated early, recovery is assured. I have previously used this formula combined with Dang Gui (Angelica Sinensis) and Bai Shao (White Peony Root) to treat Shang Han (Cold Damage) presenting with black tongue, scorched lips, and intense thirst with desire to drink. This condition arises from excessive use of purgative and cold-cooling medicines; this formula serves to rescue the patient. For malaria accompanied by dryness syndromes, where heat is heavy and chills are light, this formula is even more suitable.

Modifications: Add Mai Dong (Ophiopogon Tuber, 2 qian) for lung heat with irritability; add Dan Pi (Moutan Cortex, 2 qian) for blood stasis; add Yuan Shen (Scrophularia Root, 2 qian) for heart heat with restlessness; add Sheng Di Huang (Raw Rehmannia Root, 3-4 qian) for reckless movement due to blood heat; add Nu Zhen Zi (Ligustrum Fruit, 2 qian) for yin deficiency with unrest; add Niu Xi (Achyranthes Root) for upper excess and lower deficiency... [text cuts off]; add Gu Pi (Phellodendron Bark, 2 qian) for [specific symptom]. This is a primary formula for strengthening water (tonifying yin) and serves as the main basis for Yi Yin Jian (One-Yin Decoction) and Si Yin Jian (Four-Yin Decoction). (Commentary: Liu Wei Di Huang Wan is suitable for deficiency complicated by damp-heat and stagnation. For pure deficiency without pathogenic factors, the draining action of Ze Xie and the cooling nature of Dan Pi are unnecessary; instead, this sweet and pure formula should be used for gentle tonification.)
