Clarification on classic Chinese formula Nuangan Decoction treating liver and kidney deficiency and cold stagnation in liver channel
Nuangan Decoction is used for treating yin-cold in the liver and kidney, pain in the lower abdomen, hernia and other syndromes. Accordingly, later traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) physicians limited its use to the treatment of lower jiao disorders. The standard textbook of TCM colleges and universities – ,Formulaology, – also states that its main indication is liver and kidney deficiency, and cold stagnation in liver channel. We think that Nuangan Decoction is formulated based on the liver-warming method by referring to ,Jingyue Quanshu, (,Jing,-,yue's Complete Works,) and textual research. The method of warming the liver is to warm liver yang by nourishing liver blood. In ,Jingyue Quanshu,, the Chinese character “肾 (kidney)” is used to refer to the lower jiao area and has nothing to do with the kidneys. Therefore, Nuangan Decoction treats deficiency of liver blood rather than deficiency of liver and kidney, and it is more applicable to the pathogenesis of liver blood deficiency. TCM physicians there after took root in the liver and kidney and misinterpreted the original indications of Nuangan Decoction. Further research is required.
