To treat Edema (Shui Zhong, 水肿), failing to promote urination is not the correct method. Therefore, the *Nei Jing* states: "Dampness located in the upper part should be treated by vomiting with bitter substances; dampness located in the lower part should be treated by purging with bitter substances." After vomiting and purging, long-term administration of Yi Yuan San (Benefit Prime Powder) added with Chao Jin Sha (Epimedi Herba? No, likely Chlorella/Algae or specific mineral/herb, standard translation often leaves as Chao Jin Sha or identifies as Epimedium if misidentified, but here likely refers to a diuretic herb like *Epimedium* or *Lycopodium*, WHO term for Jin Sha is often associated with *Epimedium* or specific minerals. Given context of diuresis, often *Epimedium* or similar. However, strictly following text: Yi Yuan San plus Chao Jin Sha), decocted in running water, will result in cure. Strictly avoid puncturing the feet and knees to drain fluid; although this may yield temporary effect, death will follow later. Especially avoid sexual intercourse, damp flour, alcohol, vinegar, and salty flavors. Violating these will certainly lead to death.
