Treats the bladder qi vacuous and cold with urine that cannot be held.

Clinical commentary 臨床

Cuscuta and cistanche at the head, antler velvet and aconite behind, and the three astringents — oyster shell, mantis egg-case, gizzard lining — to hold what they warm. The most complete of the incontinence pills. **Contains aconite, which is toxic.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
