脾脏厌恶湿气，肾脏厌恶燥气，像硫黄、附子、钟乳石炼丹之类的药物，都属于刚烈之剂，用于人体辅助阳气、接续真气是可以的，如果说用来补肾，那正是肾脏所厌恶的。古人制定补益肾脏的方剂，都使用滋润的药物。所以张仲景的八味丸，原本称为肾气丸，以地黄为主药，又如肾沥汤之类，都是真正补益肾经的。近代盛行香茸丸可补益肾经，也有几个方剂列在后面，肾沥汤在下版中列出。

A female relative suffered from this condition for ten years. All physicians consulted were ineffective. Suddenly, a Daoist priest sold this medicine and casually gifted one dose. That night, symptoms reduced by half. After several doses, she was suddenly cured. She then spent a large sum of money to beg for this prescription. I have used it repeatedly to save people, relying on its miraculous nature.

The Spleen dislikes dampness; the Kidney dislikes dryness. Substances such as Liuhuang (Sulfur), Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root), and Zhongru (Stalactite) used in alchemy are all rigid/hot agents. Using them to assist Yang qi and connect true qi is acceptable. However, claiming they tonify the Kidney targets what the Kidney dislikes. Ancient prescriptions for kidney tonification all used moistening/nourishing herbs. Thus, Zhang Zhongjing's Bawei Wan (Eight-Ingredient Pill) was originally called Shenqi Wan (Kidney Qi Pill), using Dihuang (Rehmannia Root) as the principal herb. Similarly, Shenli Tang (Kidney Drip Decoction) truly tonifies the Kidney meridian. Recently, Xiangrong Wan has become popular for tonifying the Kidney meridian. Several other formulas are listed below; Shenli Tang is presented in the next section.
Daoist Deep Shi’s modified Shenli Tang treats wind-deficiency consumptive damage complicated by toxicity, weak painful legs with numbness or paralysis; lower jiao deficiency-cold, slight guest-heat in the chest. Heart administration ensures recovery. This is a formula for flexible modification.

The above twenty-three ingredients are chopped. Boil goat kidneys in 2 hu of water, obtain 1.2 sheng of juice. Add all herbs and decoct to obtain 4 sheng. Divide into five doses. If constipation occurs, remove Longgu and Chishizhi. If urination is difficult, replace Fushen with Chifuling (Red Poria) and add Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizoma) 3 liang. If heat is prominent, add Huangqin (Scutellaria Root) 1 liang. If enuresis occurs, add Sangpiaoxiao (Mantis Egg Case) 20 pieces.
