梦遗之症十人常患六七人有此病半如废人盖肾不可泻而可补如何可终日而自泻之也此病
之
必须速愈而不可因循失治致成终身之漏卮也但其症有阴虚阳虚之分不可不辨不知阴阳而妄治

多见其寡效也阳虚之症气必寡弱而阳痿往往见色倒戈一入梦中又偏鼓往直前而不肯已其先亦
必见色而思慕容而视身不能窃而魂随梦游遂成此症当时即用补阳丘涩之药亦易成功而无如人
以为梦耳何足忧一而再再而三三而至四至五而玉关不闭矣余今传一方最简最易一剂轻三剂全
愈至神之方不可思议者也如若初起之时一剂永不再发倘能消息吾方改剂为丸日服一两亦奏奇
功读书之子当奉我为救命之神也至阴虚梦遗又复不同往往有绝非思想而夜间亦遗者此必天禀
素虚又加色欲或看春图而摹拟或读野史而怡神或陶情花柳而娱色以至玉关不锁见色则流闻声
则泄擦皮肉而辄遗终日呻吟全无健色当大补真元扶助命门之火始可回阳光之离照祛阴荡之群
魔闭其关门增其精水不必止遏而精自止也方名壮阳止精汤此方虽名壮阳而实补肾水止用巴戟
以温暖命门之火使水足以相济而精自收摄于肾宫而不外遗此不止精而正所以止精也倘徒以牡
蛎金樱子之类以止涩其精而不补其肾中之水火吾日见其消亡而已矣

梦遗这一病症，十个人中常有六七个患有此病。得了这种病的人，大半都像废人一样（身体极度虚弱）。肾脏的生理特性是不可泻下而应当补益，怎么能让它整日自行泄精呢？这个病必须迅速治愈，而不能因循拖延、延误治疗，导致形成终身无法弥补的亏损（如漏卮，比喻财物或精力无底洞般的流失）。但是，该病症有阴虚和阳虚的区别，不可不加以辨别。如果不辨明阴阳而胡乱治疗，往往效果甚微。
阳虚型的症状，气机必然衰弱无力，且常伴有阳痿；往往看到异性就会精神崩溃（倒戈），一旦进入梦中，精气却反而鼓动向前，不肯停止。起初也必定是因为见到异性而思慕其容貌，看着自己的身体不能克制，魂魄随着梦境游荡，从而形成此症。当时如果立即使用补阳固涩的药物，也容易成功。无奈人们认为这只是做梦罢了，有什么值得担忧的呢？于是反复发生，一次接一次，直至三四次、五六次，导致肾关（玉关）不再闭合。我现在传授一个方子，最为简便易行：服用一剂症状减轻，三剂即可痊愈，这是神妙不可思议的方剂。如果在初起之时服用一剂，永远不再复发；如果能斟酌我的方子，将药剂改为丸药，每天服用一两，也能取得奇效。读书人应当尊奉我为救命的神仙。
至于阴虚型梦遗，又完全不同。往往有并非因为思想欲望，而在夜间也发生遗精的情况。这一定是先天禀赋素来虚弱，又加上色欲过度，或者观看春宫图进行模仿，或者阅读野史以怡情悦性，或者在花柳场所陶冶情操、娱乐声色，以至于肾关不锁，见到异性就流精，听到声音就泄精，抚摸皮肉就遗精，整天呻吟，完全没有健康的气色。此时应当大补真元，扶助命门之火，才能使阳光（阳气）重新照耀，驱除阴邪群魔，关闭关门，增加精水，不必强行止遏，精气自然停止泄漏。方名壮阳止精汤。这个方子虽然名叫壮阳，但实际上是补肾水。只使用巴戟天来温暖命门之火，使肾水充足得以相互济助，精气自然收敛于肾宫而不外遗。这正是通过不止精来达到止精的目的。如果仅仅用牡蛎、金樱子之类的药物来止涩精气，而不补益肾中的水火（阴阳），我天天只见其精气消亡罢了。

The syndrome of nocturnal emission is commonly suffered by six or seven out of ten people. Those afflicted with this disease are often as debilitated as invalids. The Kidney cannot be purged but should be tonified; how can it be allowed to leak essence spontaneously throughout the day? This disease must be cured promptly and not neglected due to procrastination, lest it result in a lifelong incurable deficiency (liang zhi). However, the syndrome is divided into Yin deficiency and Yang deficiency, which must be distinguished. Without knowing Yin and Yang, reckless treatment often yields little effect.
In cases of Yang deficiency, Qi is necessarily weak, and impotence is frequently observed. Upon seeing a woman, vitality collapses; yet once in a dream, the essence surges forward relentlessly. Initially, there must have been visual stimulation leading to longing for her appearance, where the body could not restrain itself, and the Hun (ethereal soul) wandered with the dream, thus forming this syndrome. If at that time astringent and Yang-tonifying medicines were used immediately, success would be easy. Alas, people consider it merely a dream and think it nothing to worry about. Repeatedly, from twice to three times, up to four or five times, until the Jade Gate (Yuguan, referring to the seminal gate) fails to close. I now transmit a prescription that is simplest and easiest: one dose brings relief, three doses bring complete cure. It is a miraculous and inconceivable formula. If taken at the onset, one dose prevents recurrence forever. If one adjusts my formula into pills and takes one liang daily, miraculous results will also be achieved. Scholars should revere me as their lifesaving deity.
As for Yin deficiency nocturnal emission, it differs significantly. Often, emissions occur at night without any conscious sexual thoughts. This is due to innate constitutional weakness compounded by excessive sexual indulgence, or imitating scenes from erotic pictures, or seeking spiritual pleasure in reading unorthodox histories, or indulging in romantic pleasures, causing the Jade Gate to remain open. Seeing a woman causes fluid discharge, hearing sounds causes emission, touching skin causes leakage. The patient groans all day with no healthy complexion. One must greatly tonify True Yuan and assist the Fire of the Mingmen (Gate of Life) to restore the illumination of Yang (Sunlight), dispel the demons of Yin, close the gate, and increase Jing (essence). Without forcibly stopping it, the essence will stop naturally. The prescription is named Zhuangyang Zhijing Tang (Cordyceps and Acanthopanax Decoction for Strengthening Yang and Stopping Emission). Although named for strengthening Yang, it actually tonifies Kidney Water. It uses Ba Ji Tian (Morinda officinalis) to warm the Fire of the Mingmen, ensuring sufficient Water to mutually support each other, so that Jing is retained within the Kidney Palace and does not leak externally. This is precisely how stopping essence is achieved by not directly stopping it. If one merely uses astringents like Mu Li (Oyster Shell) or Jin Ying Zi (Cherokee Rose Fruit) to stop the essence without tonifying the Water and Fire within the Kidney, I see only their gradual depletion day after day.
