Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

治産後風腫水腫. 澤蘭ㆍ防己 各等分. 右爲末, 每二錢, 溫酒, 或醋湯調下. 《丹心》

Translation

Treats wind swelling and water swelling after delivery. Lycopus and stephania in equal parts. Powder them and take 2 don at a time stirred into warm wine or vinegar decoction. — Dansim 丹心 (Donguibogam · Buin)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Lycopus is the chapter's medicinal for postpartum swelling because it moves blood and water at once — the Oedema chapter's usual percolating medicinals do not touch the blood, and after delivery the two cannot be separated. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
