夫食过于饱，则脾不能磨消，令气急烦闷，睡卧不安。
寸口脉盛而紧者，伤于食。脉缓大而实者，伤于食也。其汤熨针石，别有正方，补养宣
导，今附于后。
《养生方·导引法》云∶若腹中满，食饮苦饱，端坐伸腰，以口纳气数十，满，吐之，
以便为故，不便复为之。有寒气，腹中不安，亦行之。
又云∶端坐伸腰，口纳气数十。除腹中满、食饮过饱、寒热、腹中痛病。
脾胃虚弱，不能传消谷食，使腑脏气痞塞，其状∶令人食已则卧，支体烦重而嗜眠是也
此由脾胃有伏热，因食不消，所以发热，状似伤寒，但言身不疼痛为异也。
肾者主水，脾胃俱主土，土性克水。脾与胃合，相为表里。胃为水谷之海，今胃虚不能
传化水气，使水气渗溢经络，浸渍腑脏。脾得水湿之气，加之则病，脾病则不能制水，故水
气独归于肾。三焦不泻，经脉闭塞，故水气溢于皮肤而令肿也。其状∶目里上微肿，如新卧
起之状，颈脉动，时咳，股间冷，以手按肿处，随手而起，如物里水之状，口苦舌干，不得
正偃，偃则咳清水；不得卧，卧则惊，惊则咳甚；小便黄涩是也。
水病有五不可治∶第一唇黑伤肝，第二缺盆平伤心，第三脐出伤脾，第四足下平满伤肾
，第五背平伤肺。凡此五伤，必不可治。
脉沉者水也。脉洪大者可治，微细者死。其汤熨针石，别有正方，补养宣导，今附于后
《养生方》云∶十一月，勿食经夏自死肉脯，内动于肾，喜成水病。
又云∶人卧，勿以脚悬踏高处，不久遂致成肾水也。
《养生方·导引法》云∶蛤蟆行气，正坐，动摇两臂，不息十二通。以治五劳、水肿之
如果饮食过饱，脾胃就无法运化消化食物，导致气机急促、心烦胸闷、睡眠不安。
寸口脉象盛大而紧的，是伤于食积；脉象缓大而实的，也是伤于食积。对于这类病症，使用汤药热敷、针刺砭石等治疗方法有专门的方剂，补益调养和导引宣通的方法，现在附在后面。
《养生方·导引法》说：如果腹中胀满，因饮食过饱而感到痛苦，可以端正坐姿伸直腰背，用口吸入气息数十次，吸满后呼出，使身体恢复舒适状态；如果症状未缓解，就重复进行。如果有寒气，腹中不适，也可以采用这种方法。
又说：端正坐姿伸直腰背，用口吸入气息数十次。可以消除腹中胀满、饮食过饱、寒热交替以及腹中疼痛等疾病。
脾胃虚弱，不能传输消化谷物食物，导致脏腑气机痞塞阻滞，其症状表现为：让人吃完饭后就想躺下，四肢沉重且嗜睡。
这是由于脾胃中有伏热，因为食物不消化，所以出现发热，症状类似伤寒，但区别在于身体没有疼痛感。
肾主水，脾胃都主土，土的属性克制水。脾与胃相合，互为表里。胃是水谷汇聚的海，现在胃虚弱不能传导转化水气，导致水气渗漏溢出经络，浸渍脏腑。脾受到水湿之气的影响，加上湿气加重就会生病，脾病则不能制约水液，所以水气独自归于肾。三焦排泄不畅，经脉闭塞，因此水气溢出于皮肤而导致浮肿。其症状表现为：眼睑内侧微微肿胀，像刚睡醒的样子，颈部动脉搏动明显，时常咳嗽，大腿内侧发冷，用手按压肿胀处，手松开后凹陷随即弹起，像里面有水一样的状态，口苦舌干，不能仰卧，仰卧就会咳出清稀液体；不能平卧，平卧就会惊醒，惊醒后咳嗽加剧；小便黄而涩滞。
水肿病有五种情况是不可治愈的：第一是嘴唇发黑，损伤肝脏；第二是锁骨上窝（缺盆）平坦，损伤心脏；第三是肚脐突出，损伤脾脏；第四是足底平坦无凹陷，损伤肾脏；第五是背部平坦，损伤肺脏。凡是这五种损伤，都不可治愈。
脉象沉的，属于水病。脉象洪大的可以治疗，脉象微细的预后不良，主死。对于这类病症，使用汤药热敷、针刺砭石等治疗方法有专门的方剂，补益调养和导引宣通的方法，现在附在后面。
《养生方》说：十一月，不要吃经过夏天自然死亡的肉干，这会扰动肾脏，容易形成水肿病。
又说：人睡觉时，不要用脚悬踏在高处，时间久了就会导致肾水病。
If food intake is excessive, the Spleen and Stomach fail to grind and digest it, leading to rapid breathing, irritability, chest oppression, and restless sleep.
A Cun Kou (Cun position of the radial artery) pulse that is full and tight indicates injury from food stagnation; a pulse that is slow, large, and solid also indicates injury from food stagnation. For such conditions, treatments involving herbal decoctions, hot compresses, acupuncture, and stone therapy have specific formulas. Methods for nourishing, tonifying, and guiding circulation are appended below.
The "Health Preservation Formulas · Daoyin Methods" states: If one feels abdominal fullness and suffers from overeating, sit upright with the back straight, inhale air through the mouth dozens of times, hold until full, then exhale, returning to comfort. If discomfort persists, repeat the process. This method can also be applied if there is cold pathogen causing abdominal discomfort.
It further states: Sit upright with the back straight and inhale air through the mouth dozens of times. This eliminates abdominal fullness, overeating, alternating chills and fever, and abdominal pain.
When the Spleen and Stomach are weak and unable to transport and transform grain and food, Qi stagnation occurs in the Zang-Fu organs. The manifestation is: the patient desires to lie down after eating, experiencing heavy limbs and somnolence.
This arises from latent heat in the Spleen and Stomach due to undigested food, resulting in fever. The presentation resembles Taiyang disease (Exterior Syndrome), but differs in the absence of body pain.
The Kidney governs Water, while the Spleen and Stomach govern Earth; Earth controls Water. The Spleen and Stomach are interiorly-exteriorly related. The Stomach is the sea of water and grains. Now, due to Stomach deficiency, it fails to transmit and transform water-Qi, causing water-Qi to seep into the meridians and infiltrate the Zang-Fu organs. When the Spleen is affected by dampness, illness ensues. Once the Spleen is diseased, it cannot control water, so water-Qi returns exclusively to the Kidney. With failure of the San Jiao (Triple Burner) to drain and obstruction of the meridians, water-Qi overflows into the skin, causing edema. The symptoms include: slight swelling under the eyes, resembling the appearance after waking up; pulsation of the neck vessels; occasional coughing; coldness between the thighs; pitting edema where depression rebounds immediately upon pressure release, feeling like water inside; bitter taste and dry tongue; inability to lie supine (as this induces coughing of clear fluid); inability to lie flat (as this causes fright, which exacerbates coughing); and yellow, scanty, or difficult urination.
There are five types of edema that are incurable: First, black lips indicate Liver damage; Second, a flat supraclavicular fossa (Quepen) indicates Heart damage; Third, an everted umbilicus indicates Spleen damage; Fourth, flat soles indicate Kidney damage; Fifth, a flat back indicates Lung damage. All these five injuries are incurable.
A deep pulse indicates water retention. A surging and large pulse is treatable; a minute and fine pulse indicates death. Treatments involving herbal decoctions, hot compresses, acupuncture, and stone therapy have specific formulas. Methods for nourishing, tonifying, and guiding circulation are appended below.
The "Health Preservation Formulas" states: In the eleventh month, do not consume meat jerky that died naturally during summer, as this disturbs the Kidney and predisposes one to water disease.
It further states: When sleeping, do not rest your feet on high places for extended periods, as this may eventually lead to Kidney water disease.
The "Health Preservation Formulas · Daoyin Methods" states: Toad Qi-guiding exercise: sit upright, shake both arms, and retain breath for twelve cycles. This treats Wu Lao (Five Exhaustions) and edema.
