Cold tearing

Tearing (lacrimation) attributable to dual vacuity of the liver and kidney and depletion of essence-blood attracting contraction of external wind. It may also be attributable to millet sore of the eye or to nose problems such as nasal congestion. Tearing occurs periodically, is exacerbated or brought on by exposure to wind (see also tearing on exposure to wind) and is not associated with any heat or pain. The tear water is clear.

Medicinal therapy: Liver-kidney vacuity is treated by supplementing the liver and kidney. Use Lycium Berry, Chrysanthemum, and Rehmannia Pill (杞菊地黄丸 qǐ jú dì huáng wán).
