《养生方导引法》说:凡是吃完饭后觉得肚子里过于饱胀,肠道内原本就有滞留的气体,常常需要在进食前后,双手撩起膝盖,身体向左右倾斜,腹部向前用力努张,腰部配合腹部向左转动三七二十一次,向右转动二七十四次,转身时极力按压腰脊,以去除太仓(胃)腹内的滞留气体和不消化之气,治疗脾痹(脾脏功能阻滞)、肠瘦(肠道拘急或萎缩),调和脏腑,解除腹胀满的症状,每日坚持练习即可消除。
又说:闭口微微呼吸,端正坐姿面向南方(王气指南方),用鼻子吸气,气息逼至脐下,小口微微呼出十二次通气,以消除体内的结聚之气。低头屏息十二次,以消化饮食,使身体轻健有力,如果在冬季练习,可以抵御寒冷。
又说:端正坐姿,腰部挺直,举起右手掌心向上,用左手托住左胁部,用鼻子吸气,直到极限共七次呼吸,可以去除胃寒,如果食物不消化,练习后就会痊愈。

又说:像大雁行走那样运气,身体低伏,手臂推膝蹲坐,用绳子将自己束缚拘紧,向左低头屏息十二次,可以消化食物、身体轻盈、精神充沛,防止恶气侵入,去除各种邪气。另一版本说:端正坐姿仰面朝天,呼吸天地精气,解除酒食过饱,呼气吐气数十次,片刻之后就会感到饥饿并清醒。在夏季练习,能使人感到清凉。
《养生方导引法》又说:如果腹部胀满,感觉饮食过饱。端正坐姿,腰部挺直,用口吸气数十次,然后满嘴吐出,以通畅为度。如果不通畅就继续练习,如果有寒气导致腹部不安,也可以这样治疗。

《养生方》说:十一月不要食用经过夏天而自死的肉干,这会扰动肾脏,容易形成水肿病。其治疗方法如汤熨(热敷)、针刺砭石等,另有正规方剂,补养宣导的方法,现在附在后面。
《养生方导引法》说:像虾蟆一样行气,端正坐姿,摇动双臂,屏息十二次,以治疗五劳(五种虚劳)引起的水肿病。又说:人躺着时不要把脚悬空踩在高处,时间久了就会导致肾水病(肾脏水肿)。
The *Yangsheng Fang Daoyin Fa* (Prescriptions for Nourishing Life and Guiding-Invigorating Methods) states: Whenever one feels excessively full in the abdomen after eating, and there is pre-existing stagnant Qi in the intestines, one should frequently, before and after meals, lift the knees with both hands, tilt the body to the left and right, thrust the abdomen forward, and rotate the waist. Rotate to the left thirty-seven times (3 x 7 = 21), and to the right twenty-eight times (2 x 7 = 14). Turn around and press the lumbar spine with maximum effort to eliminate stagnant Qi and undigested food in the Taicang (Stomach) and abdomen, treating Pi Bi (Spleen Obstruction), Chang Shou (Intestinal Contraction/Atrophy), and disharmony of the Zang-Fu organs, thereby relieving abdominal distension. Daily practice will gradually eliminate these symptoms.
It also states: Close the mouth and breathe slightly. Sit upright facing South (Wang Qi refers to the South), inhale through the nose, directing the Qi down to below the umbilicus, and exhale slightly through small mouth movements twelve times to remove accumulated stagnation. Lower the head and hold the breath twelve times to digest food and drink, making the body light and strong. Practicing this in winter prevents coldness.
It also states: Sit upright with the waist straightened, raise the right hand with the palm facing up, and support the left hypochondrium with the left hand. Inhale through the nose until the limit, for seven breaths. This eliminates Stomach Cold; if food is not digested, it will heal.
It also states: Sit upright with the waist straightened, raise the right hand to support the left hypochondrium, and inhale through the nose for seven breaths. This eliminates Cold in the Stomach and treats indigestion.
It also states: When practicing Qi circulation, lower the head and lean against a wall, holding the breath twelve times. Use intention to expel Phlegm-Fluid, allowing retained food to exit from the lower orifices, leading to spontaneous recovery. "Practicing Qi circulation" means keeping the body straight and the neck curved, guiding the Qi downward. Do this twelve times to cure retained food.
It also states: Circulate Qi like a walking goose, keep the body low, push the arms against the knees in a squatting position, bind oneself tightly with a rope, lower the head to the left, and hold the breath twelve times. This aids digestion, makes the body light, benefits spirit, prevents evil Qi from entering, and removes myriad pathogens. Another version states: Sit upright, look up at the sky, breathe in the essence of Heaven, resolve alcohol and food excess, exhale dozens of times, and within a short while, one will feel hungry and awake. Practicing this in summer brings a cooling sensation.
The *Yangsheng Fang Daoyin Fa* also states: If there is abdominal fullness and a feeling of overeating, sit upright with the waist straightened, inhale through the mouth dozens of times, and exhale fully when the mouth is full, considering smooth passage as the goal. If not smooth, repeat it. This can also treat abdominal discomfort caused by Cold Qi.
It also states: Sit upright with the waist straightened, inhale through the mouth dozens of times. This eliminates abdominal fullness, treats excessive intake of food and drink, and addresses abdominal pain caused by Cold and Heat.
The *Yangsheng Fang* states: In the eleventh month, do not consume dried meat that died naturally during the summer, as this disturbs the Kidney and predisposes one to Water Disease (Edema). Treatments such as Tangwen (Hot Compress), acupuncture, and stone therapy have separate standard prescriptions. The methods of nourishment and Daoyin are attached hereafter.
The *Yangsheng Fang Daoyin Fa* states: Practice Qi circulation like a frog, sit upright, shake both arms, and hold the breath twelve times. This treats Edema caused by Wu Lao (Five Excesses/Fatigues). It also states: When lying down, do not suspend the feet on high places for long periods, as this eventually leads to Kidney Water disease (Renal Edema).
