Fried with scallion, soy sauce and ginger, remove dregs and clarify to relieve diuresis. If you urinate for self-interest, you should not use this solution. "

③ According to the book of Materia Medica, talc is not really able to treat thirst. It can benefit the orifices and remove dampness and heat, then it can neutralize the temper and stop the thirst. If the dampness of heaven is too excessive and people are thirsty due to urination, it is appropriate to use it for seepage and discharge. If there is no dampness, and the urine is self-interest and thirsty, you will know that there is dryness and heat in the urine. Dryness should be moistened. If you take it by mistake, the more you die of body fluid, the more thirsty you become. "

④ The Compendium: "talc is not only good for urination, but also for the upper part of the body. The taste is sweet and light. It first enters the stomach, seeps through the meridians, and overflows the body fluid. The upper part of the body fluid is transported to the lung, and the lower part of the body fluid is transported to the bladder. The upper part of the body fluid is the source of the water, and the bladder is the source of the body fluid. The lower part of the body fluid is the agent of dampness and heat. The upper part of the body fluid is the source of dampness. The lower part of the body fluid is the agent of dampness and heat. If the heat is dispersed, the sanjiaoning will be harmonious with the exterior and the interior; if the dampness is removed, the door will be opened and the Yin and Yang will benefit.
