The *Zimu Milu* (Secret Records of Mother and Child) states: Although various postpartum conditions are not significantly different from others, the following prescription is for postpartum inability to eat:
Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma, four liang), Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, six liang).
These two ingredients are finely chopped. Decoct with three sheng of water and three sheng of wine over gentle heat until one and a half sheng remains. Strain to remove dregs, and take warm in two divided doses. This formula was passed down by Xu Renze for women.
The *Boji Anzhong Fang* (Prescriptions for Universal Peace and Safety) provides a prescription for postpartum vomiting, regurgitation, and inability to eat:
Hou Po (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, two liang, processed with fire), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma, one liang, stir-fried).
Decoct these with two sheng of water until one sheng remains. Take in four or five divided doses.
The *Bingyuan Lun* (Treatise on the Origins and Manifestations of Diseases) states: Childbirth causes fatigue and injury to the zang-fu organs; blood deficiency fails to recover, allowing wind-pathogen to invade. The pathogen contends with blood and qi, preventing the free flow of qi, leading to stagnation, obstruction, and generation of heat. This may manifest as irritability and confusion in the limbs and joints, or dryness of the lips. Since this heat arises from deficiency, it is termed "deficiency-heat."
The *Ge Shi Fang* (Prescriptions by Master Ge) treats postpartum vexatious heat, especially if accompanied by thirst or heaviness and itching of the body:
Roast soybeans, pour hot wine over them, and drink two sheng. Cover warmly to induce sweating.
The *Qianjin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) treats postpartum deficiency-heat headache:
Bai Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, five liang), Gui Xin (Cinnamomi Ramulus, three liang), Gan Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata, five liang), Mu Li (Ostreae Concha, five liang).
Decoct these four ingredients with five sheng of water until two and a half sheng remains. Take in three divided doses.
The *Bingyuan Lun* (Treatise on the Origins and Manifestations of Diseases) states: In women, the kidney connects to the uterus. During childbirth, blood and fluids descend together, damaging the qi of the kidney and bladder. The depletion and drying of body fluids lead to thirst.
The *Yimen Fang* (Prescriptions of the Medical Gate) treats excessive unquenchable thirst after childbirth:
Lu Gen (Phragmitis Rhizoma, cut, one sheng), Gua Lou (Trichosanthis Fructus, three liang), Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, processed with fire), Fu Ling (Poria, each two liang), Mai Men Dong (Ophiopogonis Radix, each four liang, heart removed), Da Zao (Jujubae Fructus, twelve pieces).
Decoct with nine sheng of water until three sheng remains. Take in three divided doses.
The *Zimu Milu* (Secret Records of Mother and Child) states: For postpartum thirst:
Drink fresh well water mixed with honey. Administer warm to the new mother, regardless of quantity.
The *Bingyuan Lun* (Treatise on the Origins and Manifestations of Diseases) states: All postpartum women suffer from blood deficiency, hence they tend to sweat profusely.
The *Luyan Fang* (Verified Prescriptions) provides the Musli San (Oyster Shell Powder) for postpartum deficiency-labor and incessant sweating:
Mu Li (Ostreae Concha, two liang), Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, two liang), Mahuang Gen (Ephedrae Radix et Rhizoma, two liang).
Grind these three substances into powder, mix with rice flour, and dust the body. Use no more than three or four times to stop sweating.
The *Qianjin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) treats postpartum emaciation, night sweats, and occasional depression with aversion to cold:
Wu Zhu Yu (Evodiae Fructus, size of a chicken egg).
Soak this single ingredient in three sheng of wine for half a day. Boil until two sheng remain. Take one sheng at once, twice daily. Drink every other day.
The *Zimu Milu* (Secret Records of Mother and Child) treats postpartum incessant sweating, accompanied by abdominal pain, deficiency, and fatigue:
Tong Cao (Tetrapanacis Medulla), Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, each three liang), Sheng Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix, cut, one sheng).
Chop these four ingredients. Decoct with six sheng of water until two and a half sheng remains. Strain and take warm in three divided doses. (Note: The *Boji Anzhong Fang* specifies: Shao Yao and Dang Gui, each one liang; Sheng Di Huang, cut, half a sheng. Decoct with two sheng of water until one sheng remains. Take in divided doses.)
