COMMENTARY
Guanmen ST-22 is included in two elegant combinations
for the treatment of enuresis. Both also include Shenmen
HE-7, reflecting the principle that the involuntary dis-
charge of urine, especially during sleep, indicates a
disorder of the spirit as much as a disorder of the urinary
system.
COMBINATIONS
Enuresis: Guanmen ST-22, Shenmen HE-7 and
Weizhong BL-40 (Systematic Classic).
Enuresis: Guanmen ST-22, Zhongfu LU-1 and
Shenmen HE-7 (Thousand Ducat Formulas).
