【Indication】 |
This formula treats sperm emission due to kidney deficiency that fails to consolidate the essence. The symptoms include seminal emission, spontaneous seminal emission, premature ejaculation, mental fatigue, lack of strength, lumbar pain, and tinnitus. The tongue is pale with a white coating and the pulse is thready and weak. |
【Pathogenesis】 |
The pattern that Jin Suo Gu Jing Wan treats is caused by kidney deficiency. The kidney is the domain of stored essence, of which is secured by an “essence gate”. When deficient, the gate will become weak and unable to contain the essence that it is storing. Leaking essence manifests as seminal emission, spontaneous emission, or premature ejaculation. The kidney is housed in the lumbar and the ears are the orifice of the kidney. When kidney deficiency causes essence to be consumed, symptoms such as lumbar pain and tinnitus may be observed. Essence deficiency further leads to qi deficiency with symptoms such as mental fatigue, weakness, a pale tongue body and a white coating, and a thready, weak pulse. The proper treatment is to supplement the kidney and consolidate essence. |
