The cause of this disease is the inability of the Spleen to transport and transform the water in the body, or the lack of circulation of Qi, which prevents the normal metabolism of the amniotic fluid after it is produced, thus making it easy to form excessive amniotic fluid. Treatment methods include strengthening the spleen and removing dampness, reducing water to achieve the purpose of reducing amniotic fluid, such as the classic formula Carp Fish Soup originated from Thousand Gold Medicinal Formula, specific use: 1 carp, remove the internal organs, add Atractylodes Macrocephala 15g, Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae 6g, Poria 15g, Radix Angelicae Sinensis 12g, Paeonia lactiflora 12g, Ginger 6g, decoct the soup, remove the medicinal herbs, drink the soup and eat the fish, usually take 3-5 doses of the carp meat, there are obvious results, the carp flesh of the formula.
