Rheumatism and kidney yang deficiency are never unrelated. When kidney yang deficiency occurs, it is like a room not being warm, and doors and windows should be closed to prevent wind. In fact, due to kidney yang deficiency and insufficient external hygiene function of the human body, this door and window cannot be tightly closed and leaks air. So the combination of kidney yang deficiency and rheumatism, such as excessive sweating due to bad wind, facial swelling, lower back and knee pain, and haggard appearance.
Regarding facial swelling. Insufficient kidney yang, insufficient flames, insufficient vaporization of water and dampness in the body, and upward movement of dampness can lead to swollen and haggard complexion.
Regarding excessive sweating. Kidney yang deficiency and decline, unable to vaporize water and dampness in the body. Kidney yang deficiency results in insufficient energy supply for heart function, leading to uncontrolled circulation of heart fluid. Kidney yang deficiency, poor external defense function, and lack of management of skin pores can all lead to sweat leakage.
Regarding lower back and knee pain. Kidney yang deficiency and decline cannot resist the invasion of rheumatism. Due to the fact that the waist is the organ of the kidneys and the knee is the organ of the tendons, and the liver and kidney are of the same origin, the main tendons and dampness reside in these two parts, causing pain in the waist and knees.
The Wu Zhu Zhu Wan, written by the Ming Dynasty physician Fang Xian in his book "Extraordinary and Effective Prescriptions," is a miraculous and effective remedy for treating upper level illnesses.
Composition: 15g each of Wu Zhu Zi, Xi Xin, Bai Fu Ling, Du Huo, Mu Xiang, Shan Zhu Zi, Jiu Xi Xia, Shi Hu, Jiu Bi Xue, 30g each of Pao Fu Zi and Chuan Chuan.
Wu Zhuyu and Shan Zhuyu with the same name but different surnames from our side all entered the arena, with Wu Zhuyu as the leader.
Wu Zhuyu works hard and is known for its ability to nourish yang. The yang it nourishes can warm the liver and stomach, and with its pungent and bitter properties, it can alleviate the stagnation in the chest and abdomen, warm yang, and dispel cold. It is known as the "must use Wu Zhuyu for prolonged cold". It can also lower the turbid yin in the kidneys, drain water downwards, and when the turbid yin decreases, the yang qi rises, which can bring fire back to its source.
Cornus officinalis, with a slightly warm and sour nature, can gather excessive liver qi and provide resources to the kidneys, which share the same origin. Yin energy is consumed to nourish yin, and yang deficiency can benefit yang. Even if sweating profusely, drinking it quickly can save lives in an instant. And because of its benefits for the liver and kidneys, it has the ability to store and nourish blood, relax tendons and promote the waist and legs, and eliminate cold dampness and numbness.
The combination of two ingredients, Wu Zhu Yu helps to promote yang and warm the middle, warming the liver and relieving kidney problems. Cornus officinalis nourishes both yin and yang, and gathers liver qi and body fluids. Jointly tonify the deficiency of liver and kidney, and eliminate the cold and dampness evil qi from outside.
After laying a solid foundation, Wu Zhuyu and Shan Zhuyu add various ingredients to treat diseases.
Poria cocos is sweet, light, and flat, which can invigorate the spleen, promote diuresis, and calm the heart. It can prevent sweating from the root cause.
Xixin Xinwen can dispel wind cold externally, as well as dispel yin cold and retain dampness in meridians internally. The combination of hot and hot herbs is a good match for treating yin and cold, and promoting prosperity.
Duhuo Xin Xing Ku Leng Wen Tong, good at dispelling wind and dampness, is an essential medicine for treating rheumatism, numbness, and pain.
Chuanxiong is a famous liver meridian expert who can enter the liver and promote blood circulation. The blood flow and wind self extinguish, and there is a kind of aura that makes the wind fear in every movement and gesture. Paired with Duhuo Xixin, it warms the meridians and five organs, promotes blood circulation, eliminates wind and dampness, and relieves pain.
Achyranthes bidentata is bitter, sour, and smooth, nourishing the liver and kidneys, strengthening muscles and bones, and promoting blood circulation and meridian circulation. Dejiu steaming focuses on nourishing tendons. It is a commonly used product for treating low back pain and soreness in the waist and knees caused by liver and kidney deficiency, and is famous for its ability to induce medication to descend.
Bixie is bitter and calm, and when it enters the liver, it searches for the wind that shakes the liver wood, so it can regulate the diseases of wind and tendons. And it also has the beauty of promoting diuresis and removing turbidity, which can remove excess water and dampness from the body. Dampness accumulates to form rheumatism, so Bixie is good at treating pain in the waist and knees, as well as poor flexion and extension of muscles, veins, and joints. Paired with the hot and yang boosting herb Fuzi, it can especially remove cold and dampness. Paired with Achyranthes, it can especially remove cold and dampness from the waist and knees.
Smooth circulation of qi and stomach qi are essential for better dispelling wind and dampness.

Paired with Poria cocos, it enhances the circulation of qi and water.
Dendrobium officinale is sweet and can delight the spleen, salty and beneficial to the kidneys. It has the function of nourishing stomach yin, nourishing kidney yin and reducing deficiency fire. When the stomach qi is strong, the vitality is strong, and when the kidney yin is strong, the kidney yang has a place to stop, and it forms a counter effect with the temperature of the medicine, just like resting under the shade of a tree during exercise.
And Fuzi, which replenishes fire, helps yang, and benefits the heart, spleen, and kidneys, is also a good medicine for starting fire and returning to the element, like Wu Zhu Yu. It can balance the energy of the whole body and warm the lower burner, which is the foundation of keeping the house warm. As a result, doors and windows can be strengthened to resist the invasion of wind, cold, and dampness.
Multi flavored regulation of the liver and stomach, calming the heart and strengthening the kidneys, promoting sufficient yang qi, removing dampness from the five organs, meridians, and muscles, expelling invading winds, and jointly treating bad winds, sweating, facial swelling, lower back and knee pain, and emaciation.
Boil the whole recipe in water, add an appropriate amount of salt, and take it in three portions.
Let's talk about how we came up with the idea of writing our own style.
In a friend's prescription, I saw Wu Zhuyu and Shan Zhuyu used together. The friend had poor lung function and poor sleep. The prescription also included Dai Zhe Shi, which was used to calm the nerves and treat insomnia. After using it, the friend's sleep condition improved. In fact, the combination of Cornus officinalis and Cornus officinalis can already treat insomnia caused by liver problems such as upper heat and lower cold. The method is to take Cornus officinalis orally and apply it to the feet when falling asleep at night.
In addition, the combination of the two ingredients can also treat liver and kidney deficiency, waist and knee pain caused by wind and gas attacks, and even uterine prolapse.
