Abstract
|
|
|
|
Wasting-thirst(á¼Êä) occurs due mainly to dryness-heat(ðÏæð) which by depleting ¡¯Fluid and Humor¡¯(òÐäû) make symptoms of thirst(Ï¢Êä) swift digestion with rapid hungering(á¼ÍÚà¼ÑÇ) frequent urination(á³øµÞºâ¦) according to "Internal Classic"(Ò®Ìè). However, the doctors of those days had a tendency to manage wasting-thirst with herbal drugs of dryness-heat or with drugs that tonifies the kidney. Liu Wansu(êåèÇáÈ) thought that those kinds of drugs intensify gatro-intestinal dryness-heat and consequently could not be suitable for the patients with wasting-thirst. He said that they had mistaken about the relation between five viscera(çéíô) and six climate condition(ë»Ñ¨) and that they did not know thoroughly on the theory of branch and root(øöÜâ). For preventing the disease of wasting-thirst, Liu Wansu(êåèÇáÈ) recommended avoiding gatro-intestinal drying caused by the intake of dryness-heat diet, and warned not to deplete ¡¯Fluid and Humor¡¯ due to stress-induced fire(ûý), not to damage yin qi(ëäѨ) through severe diseases.
