《脉经》记载：竹叶汤用于治疗妊娠期间因烦闷痛苦而引发的病症，称为“子烦”。
处方组成：防风、黄芩、麦冬（去除心部，各二两）、白茯苓（四两）。
制法与用法：将上述药材切碎成散剂，每次服用四钱，加水两盏，放入十几片竹叶，煎煮至剩余七分药液，滤去药渣，温服。
益母丸：用于治疗子烦症状严重导致身体虚弱无法安卧的情况。（此方即知母丸，但改用枣肉作为粘合剂制成丸剂，用人参汤送服。该方详见“日月数未足欲产门”章节。）
另一种治疗子烦口干且无法安卧的方法：使用黄连去除须根，研磨成细末，每次服用一钱，用米粥汁调服。
《脉经》记载：治疗产后余血未尽，导致气血上冲引起的心烦胸闷，饮用生藕汁二升效果显著。（竹沥也可以使用。）
治疗产后余血攻心，或者下血不止；伴有心胸闷塞、面色青紫、冷气袭人几乎要断气的危重情况：顿服一盏羊血。如果症状未定，再次服用立即见效。

处方组成：芍药、当归、栀子（各五钱）、香豉（半合）。
制法与用法：按照栀子豉汤的制备方法服用。对于产后伤寒，其变化证候类似于误下后的变证。（此方虽被称为权宜之法，但不如张仲景的酸枣汤稳妥妥当。）
《内经》记载：治疗产后烦躁。取一枚禹余粮，形状像酸馅饼一样的，将其一半埋入地下，四周紧密夯实。使用炭火一秤，以及从头顶取下的头发一斤，燃烧至灰烬减少三分之二为度，然后用湿沙土覆盖一整夜；之后取出，敲去外面一层，只使用内部部分，细细研磨，用水淘洗澄清五六次，用纸张衬垫晾干，再研磨数千遍，用甘草煎汤调服二钱匕，仅一次服用即可立竿见影。
张仲景记载：三物黄芩汤。妇女在分娩后，因暴露身体感受风邪，出现四肢苦于烦热、头痛的症状，给予小柴胡汤；如果头不痛，只是心烦，则用此汤主治。（小柴胡汤方详见伤寒章节。）

Ingredients: Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix), Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix, remove the heart, each 2 liang), Baifuling (Poria, 4 liang).
Preparation and Administration: Coarsely powder the above ingredients. Take 4 qian per dose, with 2 zhan of water and more than ten slices of bamboo leaves. Decoct until 70% remains, strain, and take warm.
Yimu Wan (Motherwort Pill) treats Zi Fan (Fetal Restlessness) accompanied by deficiency and inability to lie down. (This is Zhi Mu Wan [Anemarrhenae Pill], but formed into pills using jujube flesh, taken chewed with Renshen Tang [Ginseng Decoction]. See the chapter "Ri Yue Shu Wei Zu Yu Chan Men" for the formula.)
To treat Zi Fan (Fetal Restlessness) with dry mouth and inability to lie down: Use Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma), remove the roots, grind into fine powder. Take 1 qian per dose, mixed with congee water.
[The Mai Jing] To treat postpartum residual blood not fully expelled, causing rushing sensation, restlessness, and chest oppression, drinking 2 sheng of fresh lotus root juice is very effective. (Zhuli [Bamboo Sap] may also be used.)
To treat postpartum residual blood attacking the heart, or continuous bleeding; with chest oppression, cyanotic face, and cold qi nearly causing death: Take one zhan of sheep blood in one dose. If symptoms are not stabilized, take again for immediate effect.
Postpartum blood deficiency causing Qi restlessness: Mix one zhan of Sheng Dihuang汁 (Fresh Rehmanniae Juice) with one zhan of Qingjiu (Clear Wine). Boil once, divide into two doses, and take.
To treat postpartum deficiency restlessness: Use Huyang (Polygoni Multiflori Semen), mix with flowing water from the east, and take one fangcun bi (a measure equivalent to a square inch spoonful). It is extremely effective.
To treat postpartum shortness of breath nearing cessation and mental restlessness: Use Zhuye Tang (Bamboo Leaf Decoction).

Add the remaining herbs and decoct until 3 sheng remain. Strain and take warm. If there is deficiency palpitation, add Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) 2 liang.

For postpartum Cold Damage (Shang Han), it is similar to complications after erroneous purgation. (Although this formula is considered an expedient method, it is not as stable and appropriate as Zhang Zhongjing's Suanzaoren Tang [Ziziphus Decoction].)
[The Mai Jing] Zhuye Tang (Bamboo Leaf Decoction). (See the "Xu Tiao" [Deficiency Section] for the formula.)
[Neijing] To treat postpartum irritability: Take one piece of Yuyuliang (Haematitum), shaped like a sour filling bun. Bury half of it in the ground and pack the surrounding soil tightly. Use one cheng of charcoal and one jin of hair from the crown of the head. Burn until the ash reduces by two-thirds. Cover with wet sandy soil overnight. Then take it out, remove the outer layer, and only use the inner part. Grind finely, wash and clarify with water five or seven times, dry on paper, and grind thousands of times more. Mix with Gancao (Licorice Root) decoction and take two qianbi. One dose brings immediate effect.
[Zhang Zhongjing] Sanwu Huangqin Tang (Three-Ingredient Scutellaria Decoction): When a woman is in confinement, exposed to wind due to uncovered body, suffering from heat and restlessness in the four limbs and headache, give Xiao Chaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction); if there is no headache but only restlessness, this decoction governs it. (Xiao Chaihu Tang [Minor Bupleurum Decoction] see Shang Han [Cold Damage]).
