One Insight on Treating Nephritis, January 2, 1985

As discussed earlier, patients with kidney deficiency should avoid excessive use of pungent and depleting substances. Diuretics like Yebi, Wuling, and Wupi should not be used for extended periods. In light of this, I prefer to employ a strategy of combining attack and support when treating this condition, often using Plantago seeds, Achyranthes root, cinnamon, processed Aconite, charcoal of Rheum palmatum, charcoal of Cirsium japonicum, white bamboo root, seaweed, kelp, agarwood, white snake-tongue grass, dandelion, Hemiphragma, stone fern, Codonopsis, Atractylodes, Astragalus, Salvia miltiorrhiza, red peony, cicada slough, Leonurus cardiaca, Suteng, Wuling powder, and Wupi drink. Mnemonic: Plantago, Achyranthes, cinnamon, processed Aconite, two charcoals, white, fragrant flowers, kelp, half public reed, Codonopsis, Atractylodes, Astragalus, Salvia, red peony, five Wuling, five Wupi closely follow.
