Treatment for edema due to water qi, abdominal distension (鼓胀), and difficult urination: Shan Lian cured Minister Wei; this prescription was sent by Wei's nephew, Yun Biao, and is said to be miraculous when used repeatedly.
Lángdàng Zǐ (Semen Hyoscyami) (1 shēng)
Yáng Fèi (Ovis aries Lung) (1 whole set; Qingyang lung is also excellent)
Take the above two ingredients. Briefly blanch the sheep lung in hot water, then slice it thinly. Dry it in the sun and grind it into powder. Soak the Lángdàng Zǐ in three-year-old mature vinegar for one full day and night (yī fú shí). Remove it, stir-fry until the color changes and it is thoroughly cooked, then pound it into a paste. Mix with the lung powder, combine with refined honey, and pound together to form pills. Take four pills (size of wutong seeds) after meals, once a meal has passed, washed down with Maimendong Yin (Ophiopogon Decoction), three times a day.
Method for preparing Maimendong Yin (Ophiopogon Decoction):
Màiméndōng (Radix Ophiopogonis) (25 pieces, heart removed)
Jīngmǐ (Oryza sativa var. japonica) (25 grains)
Take the above two ingredients, add 3.5 hé of water, and boil until the rice is fully cooked. Strain out the dregs, and use this liquid to take the pills. Prepare this way for each dose.
Prescription for someone with chronic emaciation, qi rushing upward resembling water retention, eyes appearing swollen but feet not swollen:
Chǔ Yè (Folium Broussonetiae papyriferae) (8 liǎng)
Take the above single ingredient, add 1 dǒu of water, boil down to 6 shēng, strain out the dregs, and add jīngmǐ to cook into porridge. Eat as usual without interruption. It can also be used as drinking water or in soups. Collect abundantly in autumn for winter use. The amount of water and concentration are flexible according to preference. This prescription forbids garlic, wheat products, pork, chicken, fish, and greasy foods. For severe cases, taking it for three years leads to permanent cure; for mild cases, one year suffices.
Prescription for treating edema:
Tínglì Zǐ (Semen Lepidii seu Descurainiae) (6 liǎng, raw use)
Guì Xīn (Cortex Cinnamomi Cassiae) (2 liǎng)
Pound and sieve the above two ingredients into powder. Combine with refined honey to make pills the size of wutong seeds. Take ten pills with warm water, twice daily. Observe the same dietary restrictions as before, avoiding strong flavors.
Prescription for major abdominal edema:
Dàmá (Fructus Cannabisae) (1 shí, unfermented, undamaged seeds)
Chìxiǎodòu (Semen Phaseoli angularis) (1 shí, free from any impurities)
Select fresh, pure, and clean seeds. Wash with water and dry. Steam the Dàmá until cooked, then dry and store in a clean vessel. When ready to take, select 5 shēng of Dàmá and stir-fry over low heat until yellow and fragrant, being careful not to burn. Grind finely into powder. Add 5 shēng of water, grind the powder to extract the juice completely, and store in a clean sealed container. On the morning of consumption, soak 1 shēng of Chìxiǎodòu overnight. In the morning, drain and rinse with fresh water. Boil the beans until just tender but not fully soft, drain, and add them to the Dàmá juice. Cook until soft and well-done. Eat freely on an empty stomach, three times a day. Do not use old, damaged Dàmá as it may worsen the condition.
All patients with edema should avoid overeating and eat when slightly hungry. Moxibustion can be applied to Zúsānlǐ (ST36) and Juégǔ (GB39). Methods for making fish soup are found in Qianjin Fang.
