《诸病源候论》中说：所谓“十水”，即青水、赤水、黄水、白水、黑水、悬水、风水、石水、里水（原文作气水，此处依文意及后文校正为里水/冷水之误，但根据下文具体描述，原文列举了白水、气水、黑水、悬水、石水、风水、冷水、赤水，共八种明确命名，加上前文提到的青水、黄水、黑水等，实为列举不同部位的水肿）。
首先从脚部开始肿胀的，名为白水，其病根在肺，用椒目为主药治疗；
首先从胸部开始肿胀的，名为气水，时胀时消，其病根在肠，用芫花为主药治疗；
首先从大腿开始肿胀的，名为黑水，其病根在肾，用玄参为主药治疗；
首先从面部开始肿胀，并蔓延至足部的，名为悬水，其病根在胆，用赤小豆为主药治疗；
首先从体内深处出现坚硬肿块，四肢肿胀的，名为石水，其病根在膀胱，用桑根白皮为主药治疗；
首先从四肢开始肿胀，腹部也肿胀的，名为风水，其病根在胃，用泽漆为主药治疗；
首先从腹部开始肿胀的，名为冷水，其病根在小肠，用巴豆为主药治疗；
首先从胸中开始肿胀的，名为赤水，其病根在心，用葶苈子为主药治疗。以上十种情况，根据疾病起始的部位，增加该部位对应的主药各一分，巴豆四分，去掉心、皮，研磨成粉末，混合后过筛，用蜂蜜制成梧桐子大小的丸剂，每次服用三丸，以大便通畅为度；如果未通，每日服用三次。也可以制成散剂，每次服用半钱匕，若大便过于通畅，次日早晨再按此法服用，再次服用后病愈，此时应禁忌饮食，只允许吃干鱼。
又说：十水散，治疗水肿的方剂；
首先从脚部开始肿胀的，名为清水，其病根在心，用葶苈子为主药治疗；
首先从阴部开始肿胀的，名为鬼水，其病根在胆，用雄黄为主药治疗。以上十味药，每味二分，混合捣碎后过筛，空腹用水送服一方寸匕，若腹泻水量多者，减少剂量；若腹泻少者，增加剂量。

The *Treatise on the Pathogenesis of Various Diseases* (Bingyuan Lun) states: The so-called "Ten Waters" refer to Green Water, Red Water, Yellow Water, White Water, Black Water, Suspended Water, Wind Water, Stone Water, Interior Water (Text originally says Qi Water, corrected here based on context), and others.
First, swelling starting from the feet is named **White Water** (Baishui). Its root lies in the Lung; it is treated primarily with **Zhaomu** (Semen Lepidii / Lepidium Seed).
Swelling starting from the chest is named **Qi Water** (Qishui), characterized by alternating fullness and emptiness. Its root lies in the Intestines; it is treated primarily with **Yuanhua** (Flos Genkwa).
Swelling starting from the thighs is named **Black Water** (Heishui). Its root lies in the Kidney; it is treated primarily with **Xuanshen** (Radix Scrophulariae).
Swelling starting from the face and extending to the feet is named **Suspended Water** (Xuanshui). Its root lies in the Gallbladder; it is treated primarily with **Chixiaodou** (Semen Phaseoli Angularis / Adzuki Bean).
Swelling beginning with hard masses deep within the body and accompanied by limb edema is named **Stone Water** (Shuishui). Its root lies in the Bladder; it is treated primarily with **Sanggen** (Cortex Mori Radicis / Mulberry Root Bark).
Swelling starting from the limbs with abdominal distension is named **Wind Water** (Fengshui). Its root lies in the Stomach; it is treated primarily with **Zeqi** (Herba Euphorbiae Helioscopiae).
Swelling starting from the abdomen is named **Cold Water** (Lengshui). Its root lies in the Small Intestine; it is treated primarily with **Badou** (Semen Crotonis).
Swelling starting from the chest is named **Red Water** (Chishui). Its root lies in the Heart; it is treated primarily with **Tinglizi** (Semen Lepidii / Lepidium Seed). For these ten types, according to the site where the disease begins, increase the dosage of the corresponding primary herb by one fen. Use four fen of **Badou** (Semen Crotonis), removing the heart and skin, grinding into powder, sifting, and mixing with honey to make pills the size of a wax gourd seed. Take three pills per dose, stopping when bowel movements become loose. If not effective, take three times daily. Alternatively, prepare as a powder, taking half a qianbi (a small measuring spoon) each time. If diarrhea is excessive, resume the next morning following the same method. After recovery upon re-dosing, observe dietary restrictions, allowing only dried fish.
It also states: **Ten Water Powder** (Shishui San) for treating edema:
Swelling starting from the feet is named **Clear Water** (Qingshui). Its root lies in the Heart; it is treated primarily with **Tinglizi** (Semen Lepidii).
Swelling starting from the yin organs/genitals is named **Ghost Water** (Guishui). Its root lies in the Gallbladder; it is treated primarily with **Xionghuang** (Realgar). For the above ten herbs, use two fen of each, grind together, sift, and take one fangcunbi (a square-inch measure) with water on an empty stomach. If there is much watery stool, reduce the dose; if little, increase it.
The *Fan Wang Fang* formula for Ten Water Pills:
The first type of water starts with swelling in the face and eyes, spreading throughout the body, named **Green Water** (Qingshui). Its root lies in the Liver; it is treated primarily with **Daji** (Radix Euphorbiae Pekinensis).
The second type of water starts with swelling in the heart region, named **Black Water** (Heishui)... [Text fragmentary]... treated primarily with [Missing Herb]...
[Text fragmentary].
The *Seng Shen Fang* formula for Ten Water Powder treating generalized edema:
**Yuanhua** (Flos Genkwa) (3 fen), **Jueming** (Fructus Cassiae) (3 fen), **Daji** (Radix Euphorbiae Pekinensis) (3 fen), **Shiwei** (Folium Pyri) (3 fen, remove hairs), **Badou** (Semen Crotonis) (3 fen, remove heart), **Zexie** (Rhizoma Alismatis) (3 fen).
These ten ingredients are ground and sifted. Take one fangcunbi with the clear juice of barley porridge, three times daily.
