while the branches of the disease include damp

phlegm and stasis. The treatment method should involve regulation of spleen and kidney

specifically reflected as fortifying spleen and assisting transportation

dissolving phlegm and moving qi

nourishing kidney and subduing yang

calming the liver and extinguishing wind

warming and supplementing the spleen and kidney

dissolving rheum and unblocking the collaterals. The properties and actions of herbs should be fully considered to make prescriptions by balancing between movement and static
