Wu Pi Yin (Five Peel Decoction): This formula originates from Hua Yuanhua's *Zhong Zang Jing* (Classic of the Middle Viscera). It utilizes plant peels to treat swelling of the human skin and flesh without damaging the Qi of the middle Jiao (middle warmer, primarily referring to the Spleen and Stomach), thus making it a universal agent for treating edema.

Accompanied by chest and abdominal wheezing and fullness, inability to turn over or sleep comfortably, and inability to eat or drink. Urine is scanty and difficult to pass, feeling as if cutting with a knife during urination, or urine is dark like black bean juice and extremely scarce. When various medicines for treating wheezing, coughing, and rebellious Qi are ineffective, using this formula will gradually promote diuresis and lead to recovery.

If the disease is severe, use 2 liang of medicine, add half a liang of Mai Dong (Ophiopogon Tuber) and half a liang of Deng Cao (Juncus Effusus Stem).
