In ancient times, it was called water, water vapor, water disease and water swelling [5]. It is a general term for diseases characterized by skin edema [2]. The patient's body fluid stays and overflows the skin, causing edema of eyelids, head, face, limbs, abdomen, back and even the whole body. Severe cases may be accompanied by pleural effusion and ascites [6]. An edema syndrome is a manifestation of systemic gasification dysfunction. The main pathological changes are lung, spleen and kidney dysfunction, unfavorable bladder gasification and edema. According to clinical manifestations, it can be divided into two types: yang water and yin water. Feeling exogenous pathogens, the onset is more urgent, and most of them start from the head and face, and the swelling potential is above the waist. Most of the diseases are located in the lungs and spleen, and most of them are solid and yang water. The onset of internal deficiency is slow, generally starting from tarsal bones, and the swelling trend is below the waist. Spleen and kidney, mostly deficiency syndrome, are yin water [6][7][5].
The treatment methods of edema include sweating, diuresis, expelling, strengthening spleen, warming kidney, reducing turbidity and removing blood stasis. If the common methods are ineffective, or there are signs of blood stasis, the method of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis can be used [6]. The above methods can be used alone or in combination, and can be selected according to the needs of the disease [6]. Acupuncture has a certain curative effect on the syndrome, and has a good effect on improving symptoms, strengthening physique and reducing recurrent attacks.
