Snail Water

蜗牛水 〔蝸牛水〕 guō niú shuǐ

Source: Hǎi Shàng Fāng 海上方

Ingredients

Indications: Dispersion-thirst (xiāo kě) with increased intake of fluids. Snails are traditionally said to clear heat and be effective in the treatment of dispersion-thirst (xiāo kě).

Notes: The idea of treating dispersion-thirst (xiāo kě) with snails was probably based on the notion that since snails produce copious secretions, they can boost yīn.
