edema
Just as in Western physiology, the Kidney is said to control the
excretion of urine. When the Kidneys are strong, the body fluids
are abundant and flow smoothly throughout the body. Constipation
and difficult urination, however, may be signs of excessive
Kidney fire or of water deficiency. If the Kidneys cannot
transform water, urination is weak and the body swells resulting
in edema.
Also, the Spleen, as defined in Chinese health theory, is said
to be in charge of the transformation and transportation of
fluids in the body. If they Spleen is dysfunctional, edema will
result. Spleen tonics like Poria, Dioscorea and Atractylodes can
help eliminate edema caused by weak Spleen function. In
addition, their are certain herbs that have gentle and safe
diuretic action: Red Atractylodes and Corn Silk are both
excellent.
