In the Golden Cabinet (《金匮要略》) tradition, phlegm-fluid disorders (痰饮类病) is the umbrella category for a disease/condition group of four fluid-retention disorders described in the Essential Prescriptions (金匮要略, ch.12), which enumerates them as phlegm-fluid (痰饮), suspended fluid (悬饮), spilling fluid (溢饮) and thoracic fluid (支饮). A historical disease-category for reference, not a diagnostic or treatment guide.
