For those who have stagnant qi and bloating, add 200 grams of white radish;

For those who have a large amount of ascites, add dihydroketorolac tiazepoxide and amphotericin, take 25 mg each time and 3 times a day.

Nourish the yin and submerge the yang, break the blood stasis and soften the hardness.

Turtle shell is salty and flat in nature (but turtle meat is salty and cold in nature), and its function is to enter the liver to tonify the yin and submerge the yang, break blood stasis and soften the hardness. It is used in the treatment of obstruction in the abdomen and heart in the Ben Jing (本经). It is also used to treat the hardness under the dystocia in Bie Lu (别录). In the Golden Chamber, it was used to treat malaria mothers. It is also used to treat liver accumulation and lung qi, and spleen accumulation and lumpy qi in the later formula books. Garlic is pungent and warm in nature, and has the functions of strengthening the spleen and warming the stomach, promoting the flow of qi to eliminate food, eliminating filth and killing worms, breaking up blood stasis and inducing diuresis, resolving syndromes and eliminating lumps, and dispersing swelling and relieving pain. It can be seen that the two drugs a yin and a yang, each other must be complementary, can attack and complement, and used together, on the liver and spleen qi stagnation and blood stasis and qi and blood shortage of cold and heat mixed with solid dropsy, is very suitable. However, because this evidence is often congested symptoms, it is often used in combination with Hovenia Pill, flat stomach, Baohe Pill, etc., in order to strengthen the garlic to eliminate the power of inflation, and to prevent the turtle meat sweet and cold nourishing yin congestion in the help of the evils of the full.
