五皮汤（五皮饮）：方剂见卷二伤湿门。
五苓散（Wuling San, Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria）：方剂见卷二伤暑门。
胃苓丸（Weiling Wan, Stomach-Calm Pill）：方剂见卷二伤湿门。
加味胃苓丸（Modified Weiling Wan）：即胃苓丸原方加入以下药物。
头面部浮肿初起时，略加麻黄（Ephedrae Herba, 麻黄）；若出现气喘，加桑白皮（Mori Cortex, 桑白皮）、杏仁（Armeniacae Semen Amarum, 苦杏仁）；小便黄赤，加木通（Akebiae Caulis, 木通）；全身浮肿，加五加皮（Acanthopanacis Cortex, 五加皮）；腹胀，加砂仁（Amomi Fructus, 砂仁）、白豆蔻（Cardamomi Albi Fructus, 白豆蔻）、丁香（Caryophylli Flos, 丁香）、枳壳（Aurantii Fructus Immaturus, 枳壳）；脚冷不温，加附子（Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, 制附子）、上青桂（Cinnamomi Ramulus, 桂枝）、防己（Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix, 粉防己）。
平胃散（Pingwei San, Calm the Stomach Powder）：方剂见卷三疟疾门。
加味四君子汤（Modified Sijunzi Tang, Modified Four Gentlemen Decoction）：治疗脾败胃伤、阴寒所致的水肿，多服自能消退。
官拣参（Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, 人参，一钱） 漂白术（Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, 白术，一钱） 白云苓（Poria, 茯苓，一钱五分） 上青桂（Cinnamomi Ramulus, 桂枝，八分） 黑炮姜（Zingiberis Rhizoma Praeparatum, 干姜，一钱） 西砂仁（Amomi Fructus, 砂仁，一钱） 白豆蔻（Cardamomi Albi Fructus, 白豆蔻，一钱） 公丁香（Caryophylli Flos, 丁香，三分） 炙甘草（Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Praeparata, 炙甘草，五分）
大枣三枚，水煎，半饥时温服，以痊愈为度。
凡是小儿患水肿，务必忌盐，因为盐助长水邪，服用后病情会加重，必须待肿胀消退之后，用盐擦过患处，再少量使用。治疗水肿从脚部开始并传入腹部的则难治，用红饭豆五升，用水煮至极熟，取汤汁四五升，温热浸泡膝盖以下部位，凉了则重新加热；如果已经传入腹部，用红豆煮汤，每天服用也能消退，这是因为红豆的功效专门在于行湿利小便。
治疗脚肿，挖掘杉木根切断，内部颜色发红的是油杉，才可以药用，如果切开是白色的，不堪使用。将红色根部切碎，煎煮浓汤，先将肿脚熏蒸然后清洗，一两次即可自行消退。另一个方子，用红糟一大碗，加入生姜（Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, 生姜）、生葱（Allii Fistulosi Bulbus, 葱白），三味同煎成汤，先熏后洗。
又治疗头面手足全部浮肿，用苦葶苈（Descurainiae Semen seu Lepidii Semen, 甜葶苈或播娘蒿子，一两），隔纸炒熟，研成细末，以大红枣蒸过，去掉枣核和枣皮取肉，与药末混合，捣匀制成丸剂，如小豆大小，每次服用七粒，白开水送下，每日三次，五到七天则小便增多，肿胀自然消退。忌食咸、酸、生冷食物。
伤寒或伤湿导致的水肿，用羌活（Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix, 羌活）切片，莱菔子（Raphani Semen, 萝卜子）两味等分，同炒香取出，拣去莱菔不用，只用羌活研成粉末。每次服用一钱，第一天一次，第二天两次，第三天三次，有效。
水肿证伴有气喘，男女老少皆然，水肿因积滞引起，既已消除积滞但水肿复发，小便不利。如果再用利尿药，性质寒凉会使小便更加不通，医生对此束手无策。这是因为中下二焦气机不升降，形成阴寒痞隔，水液凝结而不通。用熟附子（Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, 制附子，三钱）、生姜（Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, 生姜，二钱）、沉香（Aquilariae Lignum Resinatum, 沉香，三分），同煎浓汤，冷服；成人用附子一两、生姜六钱、沉香磨浓汁，用附子生姜汤兑服。不拘泥于服药次数，以痊愈为度。
身体面部浮肿，坐卧不安，取向东生长的桑枝（Mori Ramulus, 桑枝）烧成灰淋出汁液，煮红豆数升，每感到饥饿就食用，不得饮用其他汤水。
水肿根本原因在于脾虚不能制约水液，水液积聚妄行而成为水肿，应当以人参（Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, 人参）、白术（Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, 白术）补脾为主，使脾气充实，则能健运而水液自行运行，切不可使用攻下法。

For initial onset of edema in the head and face, add a small amount of Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba); for wheezing, add Sangbaipi (Mori Cortex) and Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum); for yellow and red urine, add Mutong (Akebiae Caulis); for generalized edema, add Wujia pi (Acanthopanacis Cortex); for abdominal distension, add Sharen (Amomi Fructus), Baikou (Cardamomi Albi Fructus), Dingxiang (Caryophylli Flos), and Zhike (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus); for cold feet that do not warm up, add Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata), Shang Qinggui (Cinnamomi Ramulus), and Fangji (Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix).
Pingwei San (Calm the Stomach Powder): See formula in Volume 3, Section on Malaria.
Jia Wei Sijunzi Tang (Modified Four Gentlemen Decoction): Treats edema caused by spleen failure and stomach injury due to yin-cold; taking it frequently will lead to spontaneous resolution.
Guanjian Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, 1 qian), Biaozhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, 1 qian), Baiyunling (Poria, 1.5 qian), Shang Qinggui (Cinnamomi Ramulus, 8 fen), Heipaojiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Praeparatum, 1 qian), Xisharen (Amomi Fructus, 1 qian), Baidoukou (Cardamomi Albi Fructus, 1 qian), Gongdingxiang (Caryophylli Flos, 3 fen), Zhi Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Praeparata, 5 fen).
Three large dates (Ziziphus Jujuba Fructus), decocted in water, taken warm when half-hungry, until cured.
Whenever children suffer from edema, salt must be strictly avoided, as salt aids the pathogenic water factor, and consuming it worsens the condition. Salt should only be used sparingly after the edema has subsided, applied externally by rubbing. Edema starting from the feet and spreading to the abdomen is difficult to treat. Use five sheng of red rice beans, boil them in water until very soft, take four or five sheng of the broth, and soak the lower legs below the knees in the warm liquid; re-warm if it cools down. If it has already spread to the abdomen, daily consumption of red bean decoction can also resolve it, because the efficacy of red beans lies specifically in promoting dampness removal and diuresis.
To treat foot edema, dig up cedar roots, cut them into pieces. Those with red interior are called oil cedar and can be used; those with white interior are unsuitable. Chop the red roots finely, decoct into a strong soup, first fumigate and then wash the swollen feet; one or two treatments will cause spontaneous resolution. Another prescription: use one large bowl of red fermented rice cake (Hongzao), add fresh ginger (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) and raw green onion (Allii Fistulosi Bulbus), decoct these three together into a soup, first fumigate and then wash.
Another method for treating simultaneous edema of the head, face, hands, and feet: use one liang of Kutingli (Descurainiae Semen seu Lepidii Semen), stir-fry熟 through paper until cooked, grind into fine powder. Steam large red dates (Ziziphus Jujuba Fructus), remove pits and skins, mix the flesh with the powder, pound evenly to make pills the size of small beans. Take seven pills each time, washed down with plain boiled water, three times a day. Within five to seven days, urination will increase, and the edema will naturally subside. Avoid salty, sour, and raw/cold foods.
For edema caused by Cold Damage or Injury by Dampness: slice Qianghuo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix) and Laifuzi (Raphani Semen) in equal proportions, stir-fry until fragrant, remove and discard the Laifuzi, keep only the Qianghuo, and grind into powder. Take one qian per dose: once on the first day, twice on the second day, three times on the third day. Effective.
Edema syndrome accompanied by wheezing affects men, women, adults, and children alike. If edema is caused by accumulation, and recurs after the accumulation is removed, with difficulty in urination: using diuretic drugs again, which are cold in nature, will further obstruct urination, leaving physicians helpless. This is because the qi mechanism of the middle and lower jiao fails to ascend and descend, forming yin-cold obstruction, causing water to congeal and flow不通. Use Shu Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, 3 qian), Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, 2 qian), and Chenxiang (Aquilariae Lignum Resinatum, 3 fen), decoct together into a strong soup, and take cold. For adults: use one liang of Fuzi, six qian of Shengjiang, and grind Chenxiang into thick juice; mix the Fuzi-Shengjiang soup with the Chenxiang juice and drink. Do not limit the number of doses; stop when cured.
For generalized body and facial edema where sitting and lying down are uncomfortable: take mulberry branches (Mori Ramulus) growing towards the east, burn to ash, leach out the juice, and boil several sheng of red beans. Eat whenever hungry, without drinking any other fluids.
The root of edema lies in spleen deficiency failing to control water, leading to water accumulation and erratic movement causing swelling. Treatment should focus on tonifying the spleen with Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) and Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma). When spleen qi is solidified, it can transport and transform effectively, allowing water to move normally. One must absolutely avoid purgative methods.
