Hú Shènróu 胡慎柔 (d. 1635), late-Míng Buddhist-monk physician, pupil of Zhōu Shènzhāi 周慎齋. No CBDB record.
His principal medical legacy is the Shènróu wǔ shū 慎柔五書 (KR3eh037) — a five-part treatise on consumption (xūláo 虛勞) compiled posthumously by his disciple Shí Zhèn 石震 from Hú’s notebooks. The 1786 (Qiánlóng bǐngwǔ) postface by Wáng Chénliáng 王陳梁 records the work’s transmission and printing history.
The HúZhōu medical doctrine — drawing the doctrinal line from Lǐ Dōngyuán 李東垣 (脾胃中心) through Xuē Jǐ 薛己 (溫補) and emphasising preservation of the spleen-and-stomach through gentle, food-based therapy as the foundation of treating consumption — is one of the most-cited Ming sources in the later Jiāngnán xūláo literature.
