The formula of Kidney Qi Pill is from “The Essentials of Golden Kui”, which is composed of 8 taels of dried Dihuang, 4 taels each of Shan Yu and Shan Yao, 3 taels each of Fu Ling, Ze Di and Dan Pi, and 1 tael each of Gunner’s Root and Gui Zhi. This formula has 5 articles in “The Essential Guide to the Golden Horoscope”: 1 “Stroke with joint disease” treats “foot pain with upward entry and abdominal discomfort”; 2 “Blood paralysis with deficiency labor” treats “deficiency labor pain in the lower back, constriction of the abdomen, and unfavorable urination”; “phlegm and cough disease” for “shortage of qi with micro-drinking, which should be removed from the urine”; “thirst The fourth chapter on “Dripping Urine” treats “men with loss of sperm and excessive urination”; the fifth chapter on “Miscellaneous Diseases of Women” treats “women who cannot drown their cells”. The symptoms treated by the above Kidney Qi Pills are not obvious symptoms of Kidney Yang deficiency such as cold extremities and fear of cold, but are mostly symptoms of Kidney Qi deficiency, lack of Qi transformation and unfavorable urination. The most important difference between kidney yang deficiency and kidney qi deficiency lies in the presence or absence of symptoms such as coldness in the limbs and coldness from within. If the kidney qi is weak and the qi is not able to transform the state, then “the urine is unfavorable” and “the cells cannot be drowned”; if the urine is unfavorable, the water and drinks stop inside and override the lungs, then “the short qi has micro-drinking”; if the water and damp accumulate under the lungs, then “the damp blocks the qi, then “the urine is unfavorable”. The kidney qi is unable to transpire and take in, then “urine is more”; the kidney qi is insufficient, no power to fix and take in, the essence is leaked out with urine, then it is easy to develop “thirst “. The “deficiency labor lumbago, less abdominal not benevolent”, also is not a simple kidney Yang deficiency, but Yin and Yang deficiency of kidney Qi loss of warmth. It can be seen that the function of Kidney Qi Pill should be to tonify Kidney Qi and facilitate urination. As Zhang Shanlei said: “Zhong Shi eight flavors, all for the kidney Qi deficiency, urinary discomfort managed.” (《小儿藥证直诀笺正》) Kidney qi is transformed by kidney essence, and cannot be separated from the steam of kidney yang, which belongs to kidney yin, so it is said that kidney qi is transformed by kidney yang into kidney yin. In order to remedy the deficiency of kidney qi, both yin and yang must be supplemented. Therefore, the formula uses Shu Di to nourish Kidney Yin and Fructus Pulchelli to nourish Kidney Yang, both of which are the ruling herbs. The two together are the ruler’s medicine. Yin and yang are both tonic and the kidney’s yin is the main source; the liver and kidney have the same origin, so the liver and kidney can benefit the kidney. Before the Song Dynasty, Gui Zhi and cinnamon are not divided), the second is used with Ling, Ze, to pass Yang and transform Qi and water, similar to the use of Wu Ling San. Thirdly, it is used with Dampi, which has the function of activating blood circulation and resolving blood stasis, similar to the usage of Gui Zhi Fu Ling Pill of “Jin Kui”. Gui Zhi, Fu Ling, Ze Di and Dan Pi are used together as adjuvants, which are designed to treat the symptoms of urinary discomfort by promoting the flow of Yang and Qi, and promoting the flow of stasis and water. There are a number of drugs in the formula can enter the kidneys, so no additional eliciting drugs. The original formula Fu Ling, Ze Di, and Dan Pi each with three taels, and the general “diarrhea in tonic” and laxative dosage of light method is obviously different. Therefore, this formula is actually a combination of both the symptoms and the root, the remedy for both diarrhea. Kidney Yang is the fire in water and needs sufficient Yin essence to nourish it. At the same time, according to the principle of “less fire and more energy”, a small amount of Gui Zhi and Radix et Rhizoma Polygonati is used to slightly help the less fire, in order to give birth to kidney energy. The “Medical Zong Jin Jian” has said: “This kidney qi pills to nourish the yin in one of the ten times, the intention is not to supplement the fire, but in a slight fire, that is, to generate kidney qi also. If the amount of Gui and the appendage is too large, but because of its warmth and dryness, it will have the suspicion of “strong fire and eat Qi”, and is a tonic kidney Yang, not a tonic kidney Qi. In the formula, the dry ground yellow, shamrock and yam shared sixteen two, static and Yin; Gui Zhi, Fructus Pseudostellariae shared two, moving and Yang, combined with Poria, Ze Xie and Dan Pi a total of eleven two, there is through Yang Qi, stasis and water to suppress the function of Yin, with the flow of nature. In summary, the whole formula of Kidney Qi Pill, the combination of static and dynamic, open and close the appropriate, although the Yang tonic for the eighth of the Yin tonic, can make the vitality of the lively, but never Yang micro Yin Sheng suspected, really for the kidney Qi, urine and set up a good medicine. If you want to use the kidney qi pill formula for kidney yang, in addition to increase the amount of gui and, should also be added at your discretion, bacopa monniera, dulcimer, deer horn gum, etc., the effect can be satisfactory.
