Reducing urine

Medicinal therapy: The most commonly used urine-reducing medicinals include mantis egg-case (Mantidis Oötheca, 桑螵蛸 sāng piāo xiāo), dioscorea (Dioscoreae Rhizoma, 山药 shān yào), rubus (Rubi Fructus, 覆盆子 fù pén zǐ), and alpinia (Alpiniae Oxyphyllae Fructus, 益智仁 yì zhì rén). Certain essence-securing medicinals such as Cherokee rose fruit (Rosae Laevigatae Fructus, 金樱子 jīn yīng zǐ), euryale (Euryales Semen, 芡实 qiàn shí), and lotus stamen (Nelumbinis Stamen, 莲须 lián xū) may also be used to reduce urine. Among formulas, Mantis Egg-Case Powder (桑螵蛸散 sāng piāo xiāo sǎn) has the added action of promoting interaction between the heart and kidney and is most used for enuresis in children.
