Li Gao (李杲), courtesy name Mingzhi , was a native of Zhending (真定, in present-day Zhengding, Hebei Province) who in his later years called himself the Old Man of Dongyuan , born in 1180 and died in 1251. He is one of the "Four Great Masters of Jin Yuan" in the history of Chinese medicine, and the founder of the "Spleen and Stomach Theory" of Chinese medicine, he attaches great importance to the important role of the spleen and stomach in the human body, because in the Five Elements, the spleen and stomach belong to the central soil, so his doctrine is also called "Soil Supplementation School". According to the "History of the Yuan", "Gao was good at medicine at an early age, and Zhang Element took the medical name yan Zhao Jian and donated thousands of gold to learn from it."
Customs clearance kidney pills, formerly known as "customs clearance pills", also known as "kidney pills". Seen in Li Dongyuan's "The Secret Collection of the Orchid Room". The whole square consists of yellow cedar, zhimu and cinnamon. Function to clear the scorched damp heat, help the bladder vaporization. Suitable for damp heat and bladder, symptoms such as urinary obstruction or difficulty, small abdominal distension, etc. This party is mainly based on yellow cedar and zhimu bitter cold diarrhea fire, and is supplemented by cinnamon warm and yang qi, and is now mostly used for the treatment of acute glomerulonephritis, diabetes insipidus, acute renal failure testicular hydrocele, prostate enlargement, small refractory enuresis, urinary retention after brain trauma, acute prostatitis and other diseases that are evidenced to be damp heat and contain bladder. There is also the following story about the creation of the Kidney Pass Pill.
Li Dongyuan is good at thinking, and can often combine classic treatises to propose some ideas that are different from other doctors to treat some patients with difficult and complicated diseases. Once, Because of the unfavorable urination of Wang Shanpu, the liquor official of Beijing, resulting in protruding eyeballs, bloating like a drum, hard cracking above the knees, inability to eat, inability to sleep, and his life was almost in danger, the doctors he invited were mostly diuretic drugs that were leaked with sweet and light, but they were not effective.
Seeing that the disease was getting more and more serious, I heard that Li Dongyuan was a well-known divine doctor, so I asked Li Dongyuan to diagnose and treat, and After Li Dongyuan's careful examination, he couldn't get the idea for a while: I have never seen this disease, and I need to think about it before I can formulate a formula. After Li Dongyuan returned home, he repeatedly pondered the symptoms of the patient, silently recited the "Inner Classic", and meditated bitterly, but did not get an explanation. It was very late at night, and he simply lay down with his clothes on. In the middle of the night, he suddenly jumped up and said in a loud voice: There is a way!
The Suqin Linglan Secret Code says: "The bladder, the official of the state capital, the liquid is hidden, and the gasification can be out." Dongyuan thought: The patient's inability to urinate is due to the unfavorable gasification. The doctor in front of him used the faint yang medicine to stimulate gasification, why didn't it work? When commenting on the Inner Classic, Wang Bing said: "Those who have no yang, yin cannot be born; those who have no yin, yang cannot be transformed." ”
The gasification process is completed by the joint action of yin essence and yang qi, although the sweet and light leakage drug can dissolve the yang, but the patient has been sick for a long time, there is no yin, so the gasification can still not be carried out normally, so it needs to be accompanied by yin medicine to be effective. The next morning, he came to the patient's home with full confidence and used the "Yin Agent" to give the patient a kidney pass pill, and after more than a month of treatment, the patient gradually recovered his health.
