Zhao, female, 38 years old. More than a month after childbirth, frequent enuresis at night, also during the day, leakage upon coughing, extremely distressed. In the early winter of 1983, she invited me for treatment. The patient had some knowledge of medicine and had self-prescribed Kidney Qi Pill with ten kinds of formula without effect. Her pulse was deep, thin, and weak, with a pale tongue and white, moist coating. Observing the patient, there was spontaneous sweating, shortness of breath, and limb fatigue with lack of strength. After much consideration, I diagnosed her with spleen and lung qi deficiency, and inability to retain body fluids. I then tried prescribing Liquorice and Dried Ginger Decoction:
Prepared Liquorice Root 30g Dried Ginger 30g
After 2 doses, enuresis significantly reduced, and after another 5 doses, she was completely cured.
