Processed Atractylodis Rhizoma (Baizhu, 白术) and Alismatis Rhizoma (Zexie, 泽泻), each one liang (approx. 37.5g), are ground into an extremely fine powder and formed into pills the size of a Chinese quince seed using water. Take three qian (approx. 11.25g) per dose, decocted with Red Poria (Chifuling, 赤茯苓) in soup, taken on an empty stomach.
Another prescription: One red-tailed carp, split open, ensuring the gallbladder is not ruptured ("no water"), without using salt, vinegar, or soy sauce. Grind five qian (approx. 18.75g) of raw Alum (Shengfan, 生矾) into powder and insert it into the fish's abdomen. Wrap in paper, then wrap externally with yellow clay. Roast in fire until cooked. Remove paper and clay, and eat together with porridge. Eat the head first; upper body edema will subside. Then eat the tail; lower body edema will subside. Finish eating within one day. This has been tested repeatedly with consistent success.
Another prescription: Winter melon can be eaten freely. Continuous consumption for three to four days yields results. Salt and soy sauce must strictly be avoided.
One dou (approx. 10 liters) of Adzuki Bean (Xiaohoudou, 赤小豆) is boiled until soft, and five sheng (approx. 2 liters) of juice is extracted. Warm soak the feet and knees. If the edema has entered the abdomen, consume only adzuki beans, avoiding mixed foods, and recovery will occur.
Ten cloves of Garlic (Dasuan, 大蒜) are mashed into a paste. Add Mantis Eggshell Powder (Ge Fen, 蛤粉) to form pills the size of a Chinese quince seed. Take twenty pills before meals with warm water. After finishing the course, several buckets of urine will be discharged, and the illness will be cured.
Black Soybean (Wudou, 乌豆) is boiled until the skin is dry, then ground into powder. Take two qian (approx. 7.5g) per dose, delivered with rice soup.
Old Lotus Leaf (Baiheye, 败荷叶) is calcined to retain its properties (burnt but retaining essence), then ground into powder. Take two qian (approx. 7.5g) per dose, mixed with rice drink. Take three times daily.
One liang (approx. 37.5g) of Bitter Melon Rind (Kugua Rang, 苦瓜瓤) and five qian (approx. 18.75g) of Apricot Seed (Xingren, 杏仁) [skin and tip removed, stir-fried] are ground together into powder. Form into pills the size of a small bean using a paste binder. Take ten pills per dose, delivered with rice drink, three times daily. Extremely effective.
A divine prescription for treating Edema (Shuizhong, 水肿). The Mole Cricket (Tugou, 土狗) is roasted on a tile until dry and ground into powder for oral administration. The upper half of the mole cricket eliminates upper body edema; the lower half eliminates lower body edema. Using the left side treats the left, and using the right side treats the right. Truly a miraculous technique, tested repeatedly with success.
For treating Edema with abdominal distension and generalized swelling: Three jin (approx. 1.5 kg) of Jujube (Hongzao, 红枣) and one jin (approx. 500 g) of Radix Euphorbiae Humifusae (Hongya Daji, 红芽大戟) are boiled together in water for one day and one night. Once dried, remove the Euphorbia. Sun-dry the jujubes and consume them. Swelling subsides immediately.
A highly effective treatment for Edema: Two Toads (Xama, 虾蟆) are placed inside a pig's stomach. Boil in good wine for one shichen (approx. 2 hours). Remove the toads. Consume the entire wine and pig stomach. Increased defecation and flatulence will occur, and the swelling will naturally subside. Highly effective. Another variant adds one qian (approx. 3.75g) of Amomum Fruit (Sharen, 砂仁) and one grain of Pepper (Hujiao, 胡椒) per year of age (note: original text "one year one grain" is literal).
Another prescription: One Black Carp (Wuyu, 乌鱼), scales, fins, and viscera removed, washed clean. Insert garlic cloves into the cavity, one clove per year of age. Wrap in wet paper, then seal externally with yellow clay. Roast in fire until cooked. Remove and consume. Recovery occurs upon passage of flatus.
