Geng Sheng notes: The aforementioned formula is suitable for treating edema (swelling due to fluid retention) when there is accumulated heat within. I recall that *Xiangzu Biji* records a rather simple prescription, which I have tried with success. The formula uses three old loofah fibers (Luffa cylindrica, removing seeds and cutting into pieces), forty-nine kernels of croton seed (Crotonis Tiglii Semen, shelled). Stir-fry the croton seed together with the loofah fiber until the croton seed turns deep yellow. Remove the croton seed, add three he of yellow rice (Pennisetum glaucum), and stir-fry together with the loofah fiber until the rice turns yellow. Grind the rice into powder and make pills the size of wu zi (seeds of Styrax officinalis). Take thirty pills per dose, administered with Coix Seed Decoction (Yiyi Ren Tang); the effect is miraculous.

Apply juice of water chestnut (Eleocharis dulcis) to the affected area for immediate cure.
