Moisturizing and Nourishing Pills,Due to internal injury from excessive sexual activity, the kidney’s water has dried up; the liver’s wood element has nothing to draw upon, leading to dryness in the wood and intense fire. With no blood to be stored in the relevant meridians, the deficiency of essence and blood allows the fire of the Triple Burner to exploit the vulnerability and attack the areas governed by the meridians and collaterals, causing pain. The pain extends to the lower back, kidneys, heart, and chest, making it impossible to turn over in bed; it is milder during the day and more severe at night, accompanied by restlessness, fever, aversion to cold, reduced appetite, and a gaunt, exhausted appearance.
