苏唐在论述中提到：醉酒后行房事，长期站立在寒冷潮湿的地方，乘船时感受水气，夏季在屋内感受湿气与热气蒸腾，过度劳累，以及哭泣、忧愁烦闷等，都是致病因素。
又说：患病期间不应骑马，如果能步行并适度劳动，香港脚（足部肿痛之病）自然会逐渐好转。
又说：白天不要过多卧床睡觉，必须用力起身活动，以舒畅性情，不要放纵地贪睡。
《千金方》说：凡是患香港脚的人，极需节制房事，又忌大怒。
《极要方》说：凡是患有香港脚的人，尤其不适宜睡眠，宜多次进行“行散”（一种通过运动发散邪气的疗法）以消除浮肿之气，不宜服用补药，每月须进行宣通泻下的治疗为佳。
苏唐的论述还说：不宜食用面食、羊肉、萝卜、冬葵、蔓菁、韭菜。
又说：不得食用醋饼。
《千金方》说：羊肉、牛肉、鱼、蒜、鱼腥草、白菜、蔓菁、瓠子、酒、面食、酥油、油脂、乳粥，
又说：不得食用各种生果子、酸醋类的食物，触犯这些禁忌的人都难以痊愈。
苏唐说：常宜食用小牛肉、牛蹄、鲤鱼、黑鱼、猪肉、兔肉、葱、芥菜、小根蒜、韭菜等。以及猪肝、猪肺。食用方法是将这些食材先在汤中煮熟才切块，用酱汁和水调和，并加入半勺葱、姜、花椒煮至极熟。每餐吃饭时……（原文此处有缺漏）

《诸病源候论》说：肿病，是指从膝盖以下到脚踝及脚趾，全部肿胀直硬，这就是肿病的表现。这都是由于血气虚弱，而邪气伤害所致，导致经络痞塞涩滞而形成。也有人说江东各县山多的人容易患肿病，说是那里的土地有一种草，名叫肿草，人走路误踩触碰它，就会引发肿病。
《录验方》治疗脚肿的方子：
挖掘坚实地面的坑坎，做成能容纳脚深的形状，将脚放入坑中烧灼坑坎使其变红，用尿液浇入坑中，用绳子缠绕膝盖下方，仍用甘刀遍刮肿胀部位……（原文此处有缺漏）

Su Tang's discussion states: Engaging in sexual activity after getting drunk, standing for a long time in cold and damp places, being exposed to water vapor while traveling by boat, feeling the dampness and heat vapor in summer houses, excessive labor, as well as crying, sorrow, and mental agitation are all pathogenic factors.
It is also stated: One should not ride a horse when suffering from this condition; if one can walk and engage in moderate physical labor, the Hongxiangjiao (a disease characterized by swelling and pain in the feet) will naturally improve gradually.
It is also stated: Do not lie in bed too much during the day; one must exert effort to get up and move around to soothe the emotions and temperament, and do not indulge in sleep.
The *Qianjin Fang* (Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) states: For anyone suffering from Hongxiangjiao, it is extremely necessary to restrain sexual activity and to avoid great anger.
The *Jiyao Fang* (Essential Prescriptions) states: For anyone suffering from Hongxiangjiao, it is particularly unsuitable to sleep; one should frequently perform "Xingsan" (a therapy involving movement to disperse pathogens) to eliminate edema and qi stagnation, should not take tonifying medicines, and it is best to undergo purgative therapies monthly.
Su Tang's discussion further states: It is inadvisable to consume wheat flour products, mutton, radish, okra, turnip greens, and Chinese chives.
It is also stated: One must not consume vinegar cakes.
The *Qianjin Fang* states: Mutton, beef, fish, garlic, Houttuynia cordata (fish mint), Chinese cabbage, turnip greens, bottle gourd, wine, wheat flour products, butter, oils, and rice porridge with milk,
It is also stated: One must not consume various raw fruits or sour/vinegar-based foods; those who violate these prohibitions will find it difficult to recover.
Su Tang says: It is advisable to regularly consume veal, calf hooves, carp, snakehead fish, pork, rabbit meat, green onion, mustard greens, wild leek, and Chinese chives. Also pig liver and pig lungs. The method of consumption is to first boil these ingredients in soup until just cooked, then cut them into pieces, mix with soy sauce and water, and add half a scoop of green onion, ginger, and Sichuan pepper, boiling until very tender. When eating each meal... (text missing here)
The *Qianjin Fang* states: Only Jingtong (glutinous rice), sorghum, millet, rice, soy sauce, fermented soybeans, green onion, Chinese chive, wild leek, Sichuan pepper, ginger, and dried tangerine peel may be consumed.
The *Yimen Fang* (Medical Gate Prescriptions) states: Consuming raw cow's milk, raw chestnuts, and other foods that promote the downward flow of Qi is excellent.
The commentary in *Tao Jing Bencao* (Tao Hongjing's Materia Medica) notes: In the past, people with weak legs went under chestnut trees and ate several sheng (a unit of volume) of raw chestnuts, after which they were able to stand and walk.
The *Shi Jing* (Classic of Food) states: Kelp (Cui Yu says: treats pain and numbness in hands and feet), venison (Su's annotation says: primarily treats limbs that cannot move freely), carp (Cui Yu says: primarily treats feet... text missing here)
The *Zhubing Yuanhou Lun* (Treatise on the Pathogenesis and Symptoms of All Diseases) states: Edema refers to the condition where swelling extends straight from below the knees to the ankles and toes. This is caused by deficiency of blood and Qi, allowing pathogenic factors to injure the body, resulting in blockage and stagnation of the meridians. It is also said that people in the counties and mountains of Jiangdong often suffer from edema, claiming that there is a grass in their land called "Edema Grass"; if people accidentally step on and touch it while walking, it causes edema.
The *Luyan Fang* (Verified Prescriptions) treatment for foot edema:
Dig a pit in firm ground, deep enough to accommodate the foot. Heat the pit until red by burning, pour urine into the pit, tie a rope below the knee, and still use a Gan Dao (a specific tool) to scrape over the swollen area... (text missing here)
The *Ge Shi Fang* (Fang Ge's Prescriptions) treatment for sudden onset of Bi syndrome in the feet, where the calf swells suddenly like an inflated balloon, accompanied by headache, aversion to cold and fever, and tendon stiffness. If not treated immediately, it will not heal even in old age:
According to the location of the pain on either foot, moxa is applied three cones at the white flesh margin directly below the medial malleolus, which leads to recovery. If it recurs later, moxa is applied to the original site again.
Furthermore, according to Master Tao: At the initial stage of this disease, there is slight swelling between the inner thighs; or the major vessels swell; or there is stiffness in the calves. If decoction has not resolved the issue, one should examine and press... (text missing here)
If... (text missing here)
If it persists for several days, use a Gan Dao to pierce the vessel between the fourth and fifth toes of the foot, and the bone joints below the ankle, to drain the foul blood. The blood will appear dark red, removing one... (text missing here)

Ten herbs, soaked in two dou (a unit of volume) of wine for five days. Take 1 ge (a unit of volume), gradually increasing to 3-4 ge.
Additionally, Moye Ge Gao (Ma Yegao ointment) is also good.
The *Qipo Fang* (Qibo's Prescriptions) prescribes needling the major pulse above the medial malleolus; bleeding leads to recovery.
Another formula: Moxibustion at the apex of the lateral malleolus.
