夫身肿者。有血分、有水分之候。肾合膀胱为表里。肾主水而膀胱为津液。体虚而风湿
客于皮肤。转于膀胱。津液壅滞。肾水停积。盖脾土虚而不能荣卫。故流入于血也。但肿疼
退经血自行也。血分者。经先闭而后肿。是血分而为水也。经通而肿自消。其外候。日验裹
如卧蚕。颈边人迎脉动甚也。其妊娠体肿者。脾胃虚弱。肌肉不实。则水浸积而为肿。腹满
如蛊者。水积于胞也。则怀胎将产之月脚肿。产下自愈。不必治也。
产后身肿者。亡血损多。风邪袭于气分。故身肿又宜与三物汤治之佳。
夫妇人肿满。若先因经水月信绝。后至四肢浮肿。小便不通。名曰血分。水分化为血。
血不通则化为水矣。宜椒仁丸。先因小便不利。后身面浮肿。致经水不通。名曰水分。宜服
葶苈丸。方后见。
夫血分者。经水流通之际。寒湿伤其冲任为之中止。气壅不行。播在皮肤。邪气相搏。
经血分而为水。发为跗肿。血分。《脉经》曰。经水前断。后病水者。名为血分。积久成水

(Attached Discussion)
Regarding body edema, there are two syndromes: Blood-Edema (Xue Fen) and Water-Edema (Shui Fen). The Kidney and Bladder form an interior-exterior relationship. The Kidney governs water metabolism, while the Bladder is the organ for storing fluids (Jin Ye). When the body's healthy Qi is deficient, Wind-Dampness pathogens invade the skin and transmit to the Bladder, causing stagnation of fluid circulation and accumulation of Kidney water. This occurs because Spleen Earth is weak and fails to nourish Ying (Nutritive) and Wei (Defensive) Qi, allowing pathogens to enter the Blood level. In cases of Water-Edema, menstruation resumes spontaneously after swelling and pain subside. In cases of Blood-Edema, menstruation stops first, followed by swelling; this is a disorder at the Blood level leading to water retention, which resolves when menstruation flows freely. External signs include facial edema that looks like a sleeping silkworm and prominent pulsation at the Renying (ST9) pulse on the neck. For pregnant women with body edema, it is often due to Spleen and Stomach deficiency and lack of muscle firmness, causing water dampness to accumulate. Abdominal distension resembling Gu toxicity indicates water accumulation in the uterus; foot edema appearing in the months near delivery usually resolves spontaneously after birth and requires no treatment.
Postpartum body edema results from excessive blood loss, where Wind pathogens invade the Qi level; thus, body edema is best treated with Sanwu Tang.
When women experience swelling and fullness, if menstruation ceases first followed by limb edema and urinary obstruction, it is called Blood-Edema. This occurs when water transforms into blood, and blood stasis turns into water; Jiaoren Wan is indicated. If urinary difficulty precedes body and facial edema, leading to menstrual cessation, it is called Water-Edema; Tingli Wan is indicated (see formula below).
Blood-Edema refers to conditions where, during the menstrual cycle, Cold-Dampness injures the Chong and Ren vessels, interrupting flow. Qi stagnates and spreads to the skin, where pathogenic factors clash, causing menstrual blood to transform into water, resulting in dorsal foot edema. The Mai Jing states: "Menstruation stops first, then water disease occurs, named Blood-Edema." Long-standing accumulation leads to severe edema, which is difficult to treat. Water-Edema occurs when water qi overflows onto the skin and disperses to the four limbs, causing dorsal foot edema. The Kidney serves as the gate of the Stomach; if this gate is obstructed, water accumulates.
