The efficacy of Psoralea corylifolia

Psoralea corylifolia tastes pungent and bitter and is warm in nature. It enters the kidney, pericardium, spleen, stomach and lung meridians. It has the effects of nourishing the kidney and strengthening yang; tonifying qi and relieving asthma; warming the spleen and stopping diarrhea. It is mainly used to treat kidney yang deficiency, coldness in the lower abdomen, cold pain in the waist and knees, impotence and spermatorrhea, frequent urination, enuresis, kidney failure to absorb qi, constant shortness of breath, deficiency of both spleen and kidney, chronic diarrhea, vitiligo, alopecia areata, psoriasis, etc. Psoralea corylifolia is very warm and has a strong aroma, and a bitter taste, so it tends to move downward. It is good at replenishing the fire of the life gate to strengthen the original yang, and is mostly used for people with kidney deficiency and cold.

Psoralea corylifolia can warm the water organ; it is an essential medicine for generating yang from yin, strengthening fire and benefiting earth. It is used to treat five kinds of fatigue and seven kinds of injuries. Most of the fatigue and injuries are caused by deficiency of spleen and kidney. Because it can warm the water organ, replenish fire to generate earth, the true yang Qi in the kidney can be replenished and rise, and it can decompose grain, steam dregs and transform them into essence. The spleen's essence is dispersed and returned to the lungs to nourish the five internal organs, so it is responsible for the labor of the five internal organs. Illness is caused by the seven emotions. In cases of wind-deficiency and cold, due to the decline of Yang Qi, wind-cold takes advantage of the weakness and invades the body, resulting in damage to the bone marrow, kidney coldness and loss of essence. The kidney governs the bones and stores essence, and the marrow is the root of essence. If the true Yang Qi is not solid, the above symptoms will appear. If the root is consolidated and Yang Qi is generated, the above symptoms will disappear. Men are dominated by semen, while women are dominated by blood. Women's blood and qi are similar to men's diseases of blood loss and qi deficiency caused by weak yang and cold kidneys, which are the same as men's diseases of cold kidneys and loss of semen.
