(另一种)气臌是由于气虚导致的肿胀,与水肿不同,按压时皮肤肌肉不像按泥那样凹陷,肿胀先从脚面开始,逐渐蔓延至全身,进而头面部也都肿胀。
方剂组成:车前子一钱,萝卜子一钱,神曲一钱。用水煎煮后服用。每天服用一剂,就会感觉气机逐渐舒畅,服用二十剂后肿胀完全消除,三十剂后即可痊愈。虽然见效较慢,但起死回生的效果确实奇妙。必须禁止食用食盐一百天,即使是秋石也不可使用。
虫臌主要表现为小腹部疼痛,四肢浮肿胀大,症状不是特别严重,肤色发红并带有斑点,如同被虫蛀蚀的样子,眼下没有卧蚕般的微肿。

Qi Distension is swelling caused by Qi deficiency. Unlike Water Distension (Edema), where pressing leaves an indentation like mud, Qi Distension starts with swelling from the tops of the feet, gradually spreading to the whole body, and eventually involving the head and face.
Prescription: Che Qian Zi (Plantago Seed) 1 qian, Luo Bo Zi (Radish Seed) 1 qian, Shen Qu (Medicated Leaven) 1 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. Taking one dose daily will make one feel that Qi circulation gradually relaxes. After twenty doses, the swelling will completely disappear; after thirty doses, full recovery will be achieved. Although the effect is slow, the miracle of reviving the dying is truly wonderful. Salt intake must be strictly prohibited for one hundred days; even Qiu Shi (Human Urine Salt) is forbidden.
Worm Distension is characterized mainly by pain in the lower abdomen and floating swelling of the four limbs. The symptoms are not extremely severe; the skin color is red with spots, resembling the appearance of being eaten by worms. There is no slight swelling under the eyes resembling a silkworm (Wo Can).
