3. Activate Blood and Disperse Stasis

When a disease persists for a long time, it can penetrate the meridians; when meridian stasis occurs, the channels become blocked, and water cannot flow smoothly through the skin. Therefore, activating blood and dispersing stasis is a common method for treating edema. The "Yi Shen Tang" from the Shanxi Provincial Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine combines activation of blood and dispersion of stasis with clearing heat and detoxification; I have found it highly effective in clinical practice, especially for patients with recurrent chronic glomerulonephritis who have not yet fully recovered, and for those with significant edema.
