This [formula] is [for] hernial disorder due to damp-cold invading the Liver channel. The expression of the disorder is in the Kidneys (the testicles are regarded are the 'external Kidneys'), but the pathogenesis occurs in the Liver channel. The Liver channel connects with the external genitalia where it can be blocked by damp-cold. Initially this causes the testicles to swell. If the condition persists for any length of time, there will be a gradual congealing of damp-phlegm as well as qi stagnation and stasis of blood. This manifests as a rock-like hardness of the testicles and a colickly pain which reaches to the umbilicus. Long-term blockage from damp-cold will eventually transform into heat and produce redness, swelling, wetness, and itching of the scrotum, or oozing of a yellow fluid. In severe cases, there will also be abscess and ulceration. --Bensky: Chinese Herbal Medicine Formulas & Strategies.
