以苍术为君药，麻黄为臣药，浓朴、枳实为使药。虽然含有当归、芍药补血之品，但仅占苍术用量的三分之一。不考虑产后妇女有何寒邪，此时血气未充，似乎难以发汗。即便说药性温和，可以推陈致新，难道可以用麻黄的猛烈，配合苍术、枳实、厚朴的辛散吗？虚而又虚，灾祸立刻就会到来。
[From *Taiping Huimin Heji Jufang*] **Heishen San (Black Spirit Powder)**: Treats postpartum lochia that does not cease, chest and heart oppression with fullness, cramping pain in the umbilical and abdominal regions, and various disorders caused by foul blood. (Formula see Section on Postpartum Diseases.)

*Brunellae Herba (Jingjie)* (1 qian each) *Zingiberis Rhizoma (Ganjiang)* (1 qian) *Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao)* (a little)
[Zhang Yuansu] **Juanhe San (Curled Lotus Leaf Powder)**: Treats postpartum blood rushing up to the heart, stabbing pain or syncope due to blood stasis, abdominal pain, and sluggish lochia discharge.
Fresh curled lotus leaf *Carthami Flos (Honghua)* *Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Danggui)* (2 liang each) *Typhae Pollen (Puhuang)* (stir-fried on paper) *Moutan Cortex (Mudanpi)* (0.5 liang each)
Grind into a fine powder. Take 3 qian per dose, mixed with warm wine on an empty stomach; alternatively, mix with urine of a healthy boy for superior effect.
[*Taiping Huimin Heji Jufang*] Treats **Xuejia (Blood Masses)** with pain of uncertain location.
Urine of a healthy boy (3 sheng) *Rehmanniae Radix Recens (Shengdizhi)* *Nelumbinis Nuciferae Rhizoma Juice (Shengouzhij)* (1 sheng each) *Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens Juice (Shengjiangzhij)* (2 sheng)
Decoct the first three ingredients until reduced by two-thirds. Add ginger juice and simmer slowly over low heat until it resembles thin syrup. Take 1 he per dose, mixed with warm wine.
Treats **Erzhen Tong (Child Pillow Pain)**, which is a type of Xuejia. Use genuine Typhae Pollen (Puhuang), ground finely, and take 2 qian mixed with water. If dryness and thirst are present, use fresh well-water for mixing.
[Zhu Danxi] For severe Erzhen Tong postpartum, use **Heibai San (Black-White Powder)**.
*Ferri Limonitum (Wujinshi)* (quench in vinegar seven times, grind separately) *Calcitum (Hanhuishi)* (preserve nature, grind to powder)
Store separately. At administration, take 1.5 qian of each, mixed with rice drink. Stop if pain ceases; repeat if pain persists.
[Li Dongyuan] **Siwu Tang Plus Yanhusu, Moyao, and Baizhi Decoction**: Treats pain caused by postpartum stale blood. (Formula see Section on Women's Diseases.)
**Siku Kuilian Tang** (Formula see Abdominal Pain section). Another prescription treats unbearable pain below the umbilicus: Siwu Tang plus Yanhusuo 2.5 qian.
[*Taiping Huimin Heji Jufang*] **Zijin Wan (Purple Gold Pill)**: Treats pain below the umbilicus postpartum. This is essentially Shixiao San made into pills with vinegar. (Equal parts Tamalis Semen and Typhae Pollen, vinegar pills.)
**Lixiao San (Instant Effect Powder)**: Treats unbearable Erzhen Tong. Stir-fry Tamalis Semen slowly until dry, grind to powder. Take 2 qian with warm wine. Cure achieved. (Erzhen refers to Blood Pillow.)
[Zhu Danxi] Postpartum incomplete lochia discharge, causing lower abdominal pain.
Tamalis Semen *Cyperi Rhizoma Powder (Xiangfu Mo)*
Mix and form pills with vinegar. For severe cases, add Peach Kernel (Taoren) with tips retained. (Another variant adds Gekko Powder/Hafenfen.)
[*Taiping Huimin Heji Jufang*] Prescription for postpartum residual blood causing painful stifling sensation. Burn fallen lotus leaves to ash, mix with warm water and ingest; decocting the juice is also effective. Another method: Take hair clumps the size of a chicken egg, wash with plant ash lye, burn to ash, and take 2 qian mixed with wine.
For postpartum Xuejia abdominal pain and Hou Bi (throat obstruction), apply "treating heat with cold" method. Forge an iron scale weight until red-hot, quench in wine, and drink when warm. (Danxi's method: quench in vinegar and let the patient inhale the fumes, which is excellent.)
[Zhang Zhongjing] For postpartum abdominal pain, the method dictates using Zhishi Shaoyao San. If it fails to heal, this indicates dry blood adhering below the umbilicus; Xia Yuxue Tang should be used as the primary treatment. It also treats irregular menstruation.
*Rhei Radix et Rhizoma (Dahuang)* (2 liang) *Persicae Semen (Taoren)* (20 seeds) *Blatta Orientalis (Mengchong)* (20 insects, stir-fried, remove feet/wings)
Grind the three ingredients into powder, mix with refined honey to make four pills. Decoct one pill in 1 sheng of wine to obtain 8 he, administer in one dose. Fresh blood resembling pig liver will be discharged.
[Zhang Yuansu] Another formula: Treats postpartum blood stagnation in the lower jiao not fully expelled, causing unceasing colicky abdominal pain.
*Rhei Radix et Rhizoma (Dahuang)* (soaked separately) *Rehmanniae Radix (Shengdi)* *Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Danggui)* (2.5 liang each) *Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma (Chuanxiong)* *Paeoniae Radix (Shaoyao)* *Cinnamomi Ramulus (Guixin)* (1 liang each) *Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao)* *Scutellariae Radix (Huangqin)* (2 liang each) *Persicae Semen (Taoren)* (49 seeds, processed)
Cut into small pieces. Decoct in 7 sheng of water to obtain 2.5 sheng. Add Dahuang and boil for 1-2 more boils. Divide into three doses.
**Guixin Wan (Cinnamon Twig Pill)**: Treats postpartum qi and blood stagnation forming masses, attacking upward to the heart and abdomen. Or presenting with alternating chills and fever, emaciated limbs, and headache.
*Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride (Qingpi)* *Drynariae Rhizoma (Ganqi)* (stir-fried until smoke ceases, 7 qian each) *Myrrha (Moyao)* *Arecae Semen (Binglang)* *Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Danggui)* *Cinnamomi Ramulus (Guixin)* *Paeoniae Rubra (Chishao)* *Moutan Cortex (Mudanpi)* (5 qian each) *Rhei Radix et Rhizoma (Dahuang)* *Persicae Semen (Taoren)* (de-skinned and de-pitted) *Testudinis Carapax et Plastrum (Biejia)* (vinegar-processed) *Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex (N Houpu)* (processed) *Sparganii Rhizoma (Sanleng)* (roasted) *Corydalis Rhizoma (Yanhusu)* (1 liang each)
Grind to fine powder, mix with refined honey to make pills the size of tung tree seeds. Take 30-40 pills per dose with warm wine.
[*Baoming Ji*] Treats Xueyun (blood syncope) and Xuejie (blood stagnation), whether gathered in the chest, biased to the lower abdomen, or extending to the hypochondrium. Use Siwu Tang 4 liang, double the Danggui and Chuanxiong, add Arisaematis Cum Bile (Guijianyu), Carthami Flos (Honghua), and Corydalis Rhizoma (Yanhusu) 1 liang each. Grind to coarse powder, decoct with Siwu Tang, and take mixed with Moyao San.
*Blatta Orientalis (Mengchong)* (2 qian, remove wings/feet, stir-fried) *Hirudo (Shuizhi)* (1 qian, stir-fried) *Moschus (Shexiang)* (small amount) *Myrrha (Moyao)*
Grind to powder, mix with the previous herbs. Once blood is discharged and pain stops, only one dose is needed.
[Zhang Zhongjing] For postpartum abdominal pain, treat with Danggui Shengyang Mutton Soup. (Formula see Postpartum Blood Deficiency section.)
[*Yanyi*] A woman gave birth during a cold month; cold pathogen entered the birth canal, causing distension and fullness below the umbilicus, intolerable to touch. This is Hanshan (Cold Hernia). The physician intended to treat with Didang Tang, assuming blood stasis. I instructed him: This is not the correct treatment. Administer Zhang Zhongjing's Mutton Soup. Reduce the dosage slightly, divide into two doses, and she recovered.
[Zhang Zhongjing] **Neibu Danggui Jianzhong Tang (Internal Nourishing Angelica and Cinnamon Twig Decoction)**: Treats postpartum deficiency and emaciation, unceasing stabbing pain in the abdomen, shortness of breath, or urgent pain in the lower abdomen radiating to the back, preventing eating.
During the first month postpartum, taking 4-5 doses daily is beneficial for strengthening the body.
*Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Danggui)* (4 liang) *Cinnamomi Ramulus (Guizhi)* (3 liang) *Paeoniae Radix (Shaoyao)* (6 liang) *Zingiberis Rhizoma (Shengjiang)* (3 liang) *Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao)* (2 liang) *Jujubae Fructus (Dazao)* (12 fruits)
Decoct the six ingredients in 1 dou of water to obtain 3 sheng. Divide into three warm doses, consumed within one day. If severely deficient, add 6 liang of Yitang (malt sugar); after decoction, place on fire to melt the sugar. If excessive blood loss occurs, such as metrorrhagia or internal epistaxis, add Rehmanniae Radix (Dihuang) 6 liang and Asini Corii Colla (Ejiao) 2 liang. Complete the eight-ingredient decoction, then add Ejiao and ingest.
[Zhang Yuansu] On the sixth or seventh day postpartum, sudden pain in the umbilical and abdominal region is often caused by cold air entering the blood level through deficiency during respiration. Administer Danggui Jianzhong Tang. (Formula see above.)
[*Taiping Huimin Heji Jufang*] **Dusheng Tang (Single Sage Decoction)**: Treats postpartum abdominal pain.
Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Danggui) ground to powder. Take 2 qian, decoct in 1 zhan of water until reduced to 0.7 zhan, take warm.
[Zhang Yuansu] Treats postpartum foul matter not fully expelled, causing intra-abdominal pain. Regular consumption postpartum is excellent.
*Rehmanniae Radix Recens (Shengdi)* *Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Danggui)* (both lightly stir-fried, 1 liang each) *Zingiberis Rhizoma (Shengjiang)* (5 qian, finely sliced, stir-fried on new tile until charred black)
Grind to fine powder. Take 2 qian mixed with ginger and wine.
[*Taiping Huimin Heji Jufang*] Treats postpartum blood clot pain.
Prepared Rehmanniae Radix (Shudi) (1 jin) Aged Ginger (Chenshengjiang) (0.5 jin)
Mix evenly, stir-fry together until dry, then grind to powder. Take 1 qian mixed with wine. Postpartum, administer with Wumei Tang (Mume Fruit Decoction).
[Zhang Zhongjing] Postpartum abdominal pain with irritability, fullness, and inability to lie down is treated with Zhishi Shaoyao San.
*Immature Citrus Fruit (Zhishi)* (burned until black, but not too much) *Paeoniae Radix (Shaoyao)* (ground to powder)
Pound the two ingredients into a powder. Take 1 cunbi (square inch measure) per dose, three times daily. Also treats carbuncles and pus; administer with wheat gruel.
If postpartum abdominal pain does not resolve with Zhishi Shaoyao San, Xia Yuxue Tang should be used. (Formula see Stale Blood section.)
[Zhang Zhongjing] Seven or eight days postpartum, without Taiyang symptoms, but with hardness and pain in the lower abdomen, this is due to incomplete lochia discharge. Constipation, irritability, fever, worsening irritability at dusk, anorexia, delirium upon eating, and relief at night indicate the need for Dachengqi Tang. Heat is in the interior, knotted in the Bladder. (Dachengqi Tang formula see Shanghan section.)
[*Shan*] For Erzhen Tong, burn crab shells from the previous year to ash, take with wine.
[Zhu Danxi] **Jufang Wuji San (Bureau Formula Five Accumulations Powder)**: Treats pain from residual blood postpartum.
Using Cangzhu as the sovereign herb, Mahuang as the minister, Houpo and Zhishi as the guides. Although it contains Danggui and Shaoyao for nourishing blood, their quantity is only one-third of Cangzhu. One must consider what cold pathogen a postpartum woman has; her qi and blood are not yet充盈 (replenished), making diaphoresis difficult. Even if the drug properties are mild and can eliminate the old to generate the new, how can one use the fierce Mahuang combined with the dispersing actions of Cangzhu, Zhishi, and Houpo? This leads to deficiency upon deficiency, and disaster follows immediately.
Postpartum blood clot pain: Acupoints Sanyinjiao (SP6), Qihai (CV6) (Moxibustion is indicated.)
