This article summarizes the nursing practice experience of a patient with lower limb edema due to blood stasis and water retention syndrome and heart failure. Based on the routine nursing and guided by the theory of "blood stasis leads to edema ", the "Shenque acupoint" was selected for ginger-separated moxibustion which improved the patient’s symptoms of heart failure, reduced the degree of lower limb edema, and fully leveraged the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) technology of "simplicity, convenience, affordability, and effectiveness". It was worth referring and promoting the application of TCM clinical nursing.
