Astringing essence and checking seminal emission and enuresis

A method of treatment addressing seminal emission or seminal efflux attributed to kidney vacuity with insecurity of the essence gate or enuresis or frequent urination due to kidney vacuity with bladder retention failure.

For kidney vacuity seminal emission, kidney-supplementing essence-astringing medicinals such as complanate astragalus seed (Astragali Complanati Semen, 沙苑子 shā yuàn zǐ), dragon bone (Mastodi Ossis Fossilia, 龙骨 lóng gǔ), oyster shell (Ostreae Concha, 牡蛎 mǔ lì), lotus stamen (Nelumbinis Stamen, 莲须 lián xū), mantis egg-case (Mantidis Oötheca, 桑螵蛸 sāng piāo xiāo), euryale (Euryales Semen, 芡实 qiàn shí), cornus (Corni Fructus, 山茱萸 shān zhū yú), and Cherokee rose fruit (Rosae Laevigatae Fructus, 金樱子 jīn yīng zǐ) are used.

For enuresis or frequent urination, a similar range of medicinals are used: mantis egg-case (Mantidis Oötheca, 桑螵蛸 sāng piāo xiāo), rubus (Rubi Fructus, 覆盆子 fù pén zǐ), and alpinia (Alpiniae Oxyphyllae Fructus, 益智仁 yì zhì rén).

Representative formulas include Golden Lock Essence-Securing Pill (金锁固精丸 jīn suǒ gù jīng wán), designed for seminal emission but also used for enuresis, Mantis Egg-Case Powder (桑螵蛸散 sāng piāo xiāo sǎn) originally designed for enuresis but also used for seminal emission, and Stream-Reducing Pill (缩泉丸 suō quán wán), mainly used for enuresis, frequent urination, and child bed-wetting.
