Securing and astriction

固涩法 〔固澀法〕gù sè fǎ

The method of treating efflux desertion patterns (i.e., enduring or critical discharge or loss of sweat, blood, semen, etc.). Securing and astriction involves the use of supplementing and astringing medicinals to constrain sweat in the treatment of spontaneous or night sweating; constrain the lung in the treatment of persistent cough; astringe the intestines in the treatment of persistent diarrhea culminating in prolapse of the anus (called enduring diarrhea efflux desertion); secure essence in the treatment of seminal emission or seminal efflux; reduce urine in the treatment of copious urine or enuresis; stanch bleeding to treat severe bleeding; secure the menses to treat flooding and spotting; or check vaginal discharge to treat persistent vaginal discharge.

Securing and Astriction

Efflux desertion patterns are all at root vacuity patterns, the loss of sweat, blood, or semen, etc., being the tip. For this reason, securing astriction formulas usually comprise supplementing medicinals combined with astringing medicinals, the former usually being used in large number or quantity than the latter. Rarely, securing medicinals are used alone. In general, securing astriction is a method of treatment that is not used too early in the development of a condition. See the entries listed above.
