Hyperactive kidney fire

Also effulgent life gate fire. Effulgent yīn vacuity with fire causing discharge of semen. The kidney is a yīn viscus that stores fire and water (true yīn and true yáng), which must remain in balance if the body is to remain healthy. Depletion of kidney-water or liver-yīn vacuity can give rise to hyperactive kidney fire, which manifests in the form of excessive libido, seminal emission, and premature ejaculation.

Medicinal therapy: Use Anemarrhena, Phellodendron, and Rehmannia Pill (知柏地黄丸 zhī bǎi dì huáng wán).
