In the Golden Cabinet (《金匮要略》) tradition, stony oedema (石水) is a disease/condition described in the Essential Prescriptions (金匮要略, ch.14) — one of the systematic water-qi (水气) categories — named by a deep pulse with abdominal fullness but no panting. A historical disease-category for reference, not a diagnostic or treatment guide.
