Discussion: The condition known as "Water Component" (Shuifen) arises when water qi overflows up and down within the skin, dispersing to the four limbs, resulting in edema. The Kidney serves as the gate of the Stomach; if the opening and closing of this gate are obstructed, water accumulates and follows its kind (i.e., dampness and fluid retention). This disease differs from "Blood Component" (Xuefen) in that there is a specific sequence for treatment.
For women suffering from "Water Component" with limb swelling and fullness that does not subside, caused by amenorrhea, it is appropriate to first promote diuresis to reduce edema, and subsequently regulate the menses.
