此病之源，与水肿同，皆因脾气虚衰而致，或因他病攻损胃气致难运化，而肿大如鼓也。病本易治，皆由
方书多用利药，病患又喜于速效，以致轻者变重，重者变危，甚致害人。
黄帝正法∶先灸命关百壮，固住脾气，灸至五十壮，便觉小便长，气下降。再灸关元三百壮，以保肾气，
五日内便安。服金液丹、草神丹，减后，只许吃白粥，或羊肉汁泡蒸饼食之。瘥后常服全真丹、来复丹。凡臌
胀脉弦紧易治，沉细难痊。（此病若带四肢肿者，温之于早尚可奏功，若单腹胀而更青筋浮露者难治。苟能看
破一切，视世事如浮云，置此身于度外，方保无虞，次则慎起居，节饮食，远房帏，戒情性，重温急补，十中
可救二三。先生之丹艾，用之得宜，其庶几乎。）
治验
一人因饮冷酒吃生菜成泄泻，服寒凉药，反伤脾气，致
腹胀。命灸关元三百壮，当日小便长，有下气，又服保元丹半斤，十日即愈，再服全真丹永不发矣。
凡人腹下有水声，当即服丹药，不然变脾泄，害人最速。暴注之病，由暑月食生冷太过，损其脾气，故暴
注下泄，不早治，三五日泻脱元气。方书多作寻常治之，河间又以为火，用凉药，每害人性命。
治法，当服金液丹、草神丹、霹雳汤、姜附汤皆可，若危笃者，灸命关二百壮可保，若灸迟则肠开洞泄而

诊示已黄昏矣，两手脉皆绝，予曰病已失守，不可为矣。速灸关元，重投参附，竟不能救，先生之论，诚非谬

治验
一人患暴注，因忧思伤脾也，服金液丹、霹雳汤不效，盖伤之深耳。灸命关二百壮，大便始长，服草神丹而愈。
The root cause of this disease is the same as edema, both resulting from deficiency and decline of Spleen Qi (Spleen energy), or due to other diseases attacking and damaging Stomach Qi, leading to difficult transformation and transportation, causing abdominal swelling like a drum. The disease is originally easy to treat; however, medical texts often use diuretic drugs, and patients prefer rapid effects, causing mild cases to become severe, severe cases to become critical, and even leading to death.
According to the orthodox methods of the Yellow Emperor: First, moxa the Mingguan (Gate of Life) acupoint for one hundred moxa cones to consolidate Spleen Qi. After fifty cones, one will feel increased urination and descending Qi. Then, moxa the Guanyuan (Origin of the Gate) acupoint for three hundred cones to preserve Kidney Qi. Within five days, peace will be restored. Administer Jinye Dan (Golden Fluid Pill) and Caoshen Dan (Grass Spirit Pill). After symptoms subside, only white rice porridge or steamed buns soaked in mutton broth are permitted. After recovery, continuously take Quanzhen Dan (Complete True Pill) and Laifu Dan (Returning Harmony Pill). For distension, if the pulse is wiry and tight, it is easy to treat; if deep and fine, it is difficult to cure. (If this disease presents with swelling of the four limbs, early warming treatment can still achieve results. If there is isolated abdominal distension with protruding collateral veins, it is difficult to treat. If one can see through everything, regard worldly affairs as floating clouds, and disregard one's own body, safety can be ensured. Secondly, be cautious with daily life, regulate diet, avoid sexual activity, and guard against emotional fluctuations. Emphasize warm and urgent tonification; two or three out of ten may be saved. If the master's pills and moxibustion are used appropriately, success is likely.)
Treatment Case:
One person developed diarrhea from drinking cold wine and eating raw vegetables. Taking cold-natured medicines further damaged Spleen Qi, resulting in abdominal distension. Ordered moxibustion on Guanyuan for three hundred cones. On that day, urination increased, and downward-moving Qi was felt. Another half jin of Baoyuan Dan (Protect Origin Pill) was taken, curing him in ten days. Subsequent intake of Quanzhen Dan prevented recurrence forever.
When water sounds are heard below the abdomen, pills should be taken immediately; otherwise, it transforms into Spleen Diarrhea, which kills most rapidly. The disease of Baozhu (acute violent diarrhea) occurs because excessive consumption of cold and raw food during summer damages Spleen Qi, causing sudden violent diarrhea. If not treated early, Yuan Qi (Original Qi) will be depleted within three to five days. Medical texts often treat it as ordinary conditions. He Jian considered it Fire and used cooling medicines, often costing lives.
Treatment method: One should take Jinye Dan, Caoshen Dan, Pili Tang (Thunderbolt Decoction), or Jiangfu Tang (Ginger and Aconite Decoction). If critically ill, moxa Mingguan for two hundred cones to ensure survival. If moxibustion is delayed, intestinal opening and profuse diarrhea will lead to death. (Spleen diarrhea is neglected by the world and ignored by contemporary physicians, who do not realize it kills most rapidly. Salt merchant Xue Ruliang suffered violent diarrhea at noon and became cold and uncontrollable by dusk. When I examined him, it was already twilight, and both wrist pulses were absent. I said the disease had lost its control and could not be saved. Urgent moxibustion on Guanyuan and heavy dosage of Ginseng and Aconite were administered, but he could not be saved. The master's words are indeed not false.)
Treatment Case:
One person suffered from Baozhu due to worry and thought damaging the Spleen. Jinye Dan and Pili Tang were ineffective because the damage was profound. Moxa Mingguan for two hundred cones. Bowel movements normalized, and Caoshen Dan cured the condition.
