有一位达官贵人，他的母亲七十岁中风，手足拘挛，平时只用附子之类的药物调养。一天面部浮肿，手背也肿，平常有一位国医提供药物，诊断说是水病，想用大戟、牵牛来攻下导滞，家属非常惊恐忧虑，召我商议。我说：“《素问》称面部浮肿叫风，足胫浮肿叫水。这是服用附子过多，导致正气虚弱而生内热生风的证候，咽喉必定噎塞，胸膈中不畅。确实如此。”于是我进升麻牛蒡团参汤，接着用知母汤，三天全部痊愈。

There was a high official whose mother, aged seventy, suffered from stroke with spasm of hands and feet. She had been nourished with Fang Zi (Aconite) type medicines. One day, her face became swollen, and the backs of her hands also swelled. A national physician who usually provided medicine diagnosed it as a Shui Bing (Water Disease) and wanted to use Da Ji (Euphorbiae Pekinensis Radix) and Qian Niu to purge and guide it out. The family was greatly alarmed and anxious, summoning me to discuss. I said, "Su Wen states that facial swelling is called Feng (Wind), and swelling of the calves is called Shui (Water). This is due to excessive consumption of Aconite, leading to a syndrome of deficiency generating internal wind and heat. There must be choking in the throat and discomfort in the chest diaphragm." He agreed. I then administered Sheng Ma Niu Bang Tuan Shen Tang (Cimicifugae, Arctii, and Codonopsis Decoction), followed by Zhi Mu Tang (Anemarrhenae Decoction). All were cured within three days.
