黄帝论述治疗水肿的穴位，共有五十七处。尻部上方有五行，每行五个穴位，称为肾的五十七个穴位，这是阴气积聚的地方，也是水液出入的通道。尻部上方五行、每行五个穴位，属于肾脏的经脉，所以水病在下表现为下肢肿大和腹部胀大，在上表现为气喘呼叫、不能平卧，这是因为标本（肺与肾）都发生了病变，因此肺导致气喘呼叫，肾导致水肿，肺导致气逆不能平卧。如果将肺肾分为相互输注且共同受邪的情况，这是水气停留所致。伏兔穴上方各有两行，每行五个穴位，这是肾脏经脉通行的街道，是三条阴经在脚部交汇结聚的地方。踝关节上方各有一行，每行六个穴位，这是肾脉向下行走的路径，名称为太冲。这五十七个穴位，都是脏腑的阴络，是水气客居的地方。身体肿胀、呼吸急促、不能平卧，风邪致汗出、身体浮肿，喘息多唾沫，由天府穴主治。
身体肿胀、皮肤疼痛，衣物接触即痛，由屋翳穴主治。
水肿伴肠鸣、胃虚腹胀、食欲不振、绕脐疼痛、气冲胸部导致呼吸困难者，由水分穴主治。该穴位位于下腕骨下一寸，神阙穴上一寸，是任脉之气发出的部位。甄权说：每日灸七壮，直到四百壮为止；全身通身浮肿，灸足第二趾上一寸处，按患者年龄决定壮数；又灸两手大拇指缝头处各七壮。
水肿导致人中穴部位完全饱满，嘴唇翻卷，属死证，由水沟穴主治。
水病，由天泉穴主治。
腹中气盛，腹胀气逆不能平卧，由阴陵泉穴主治。
面部浮肿，由上星穴主治，先取[某穴]，后取天牖、风池穴。（注：原文此处缺字，依上下文推测可能指特定穴位或泛指，译文保留原意结构）
The Yellow Emperor discussed the treatment of edema using acupuncture and moxibustion, involving fifty-seven acupoints. Above the sacrum, there are five rows, each containing five points, known as the fifty-seven kidney points. This is where yin qi accumulates and serves as the pathway for the entry and exit of water fluids. These points above the sacrum, arranged in five rows of five, belong to the kidney meridians. Therefore, water diseases manifest below as swelling of the lower limbs and abdominal distension, and above as wheezing, gasping, and inability to lie flat. This occurs because both the root (kidney) and branch (lung) are diseased; thus, the lung causes wheezing and gasping, while the kidney causes edema, and lung qi rebellion causes the inability to lie flat. If the lung and kidney are considered as mutually transmitting and jointly affected, this is due to the retention of water qi. Above the Futu (ST32) point, there are two rows on each side, each with five points; these constitute the "street" of the kidney meridian, where the three yin meridians intersect and connect at the feet. Above each ankle, there is one row of six points; this is the downward path of the kidney meridian, named Taichong (KI3). All fifty-seven points are the yin collaterals of the zang organs, where water qi resides.
