【Indication】 This formula is indicated for deficiency of kidney yang, essence, and blood. The symptoms are dry stool, clear and profuse urine, soreness and weakness of lower back and knees, dizziness, a pale tongue with a white coating, and a deep, slow and weak pulse.
【Pathogenesis】 This is a pattern of constipation caused by the weakness of kidney yang, deficiency of essence and blood, and a disorder of the opening and closing aspect of the kidney. The kidney governs the five fluids, has its orifice in urethra and anus, as well as controls urination and bowel movement. Deficient kidney yang cannot control qi transformation so that fluids cannot spread. They then flow down to the unconfined bladder and turn into clear and profuse urine. The loss of fluids spreading into the large intestine and the deficiency in essence and blood may cause the intestines to lose moisture and inhibit their descending ability making the stools too dry to be expelled. Other symptoms such as soreness and weakness of lower back and knees, dizziness, a pale tongue body with a white coating, and a deep, slow or deep, thready pulse are evidence of deficient kidney yang, essence and blood. The therapeutic principles used to remedy this pattern are to warm the kidney and supplement the essence, as well as moisten the intestines to promote defecation.
