羌活、本(去土)、防风(各二钱);肉桂(去皮,夏季不用,秋冬使用);白术、当归、黄芩、柴胡(各三钱);人参、熟地黄、川芎(各一钱);细辛(六分);独活、炙甘草;附子(炮制,去皮脐,各一钱五分);桃仁(十枚,去皮尖);白芍药、红花(各五分)。
妇人经血崩漏下注者,此方主治。
阳气主升发,阴气主沉降,阳根源于阴,阴根源于阳,一动一静,互为根本,因此一升一降,循着经脉运行,就不会发生崩陷之症。如果阳气有余,则升发之力过胜,血液从上窍而出。如果阳气不足,则沉降之力过胜,血液从下窍而出。这个方剂中,附子、肉桂、人参、黄芪、白术、甘草,是壮阳益气的药物。羌活、独活、柴胡、本、防风、细辛、川芎,是升举阳气、提升经血的药物。芍药、地黄、红花、当归、桃仁,是滋阴入血的药物。壮阳则气不虚,举经则血不陷落,滋阴则血不燥热。确实如此,那么血成为气的守卫,气成为血的护卫,血在内部营养,气在外部卫护,升降上下,完全遵循经脉规律,怎么会发生崩漏呢?
独活、生姜(各五两);防风、秦艽、桂心、白术、甘草、当归、附子(各二两);葛根(三两);防己(一两)。
当时的人将其分为十服服用。
产后气血俱虚,容易受到风寒侵袭,风邪损伤筋脉则导致痉挛,寒邪损伤筋脉则导致疼痛,所以出现口噤和角弓反张。这个方剂中,独活、防风、秦艽、葛根、防己,是疏风药物。桂心、附子,是驱寒药物。风邪去除则筋脉不痉挛,寒邪去除则筋脉不疼痛。至于当归,是为了在驱风之后养血。生姜、白术、甘草,是为了在散寒之余调气。一定要养血调气,是因为产后不能忘记其虚损的本质。

This formula is indicated for women suffering from metrorrhagia and metrostaxis (excessive uterine bleeding).
Yang governs ascending, Yin governs descending; Yang is rooted in Yin, and Yin is rooted in Yang. Movement and stillness are mutually foundational; thus, ascending and descending follow the meridians without causing collapse or prolapse. If Yang is in excess, the ascending force prevails, and blood exits through the upper orifices. If Yang is deficient, the descending force prevails, and blood exits through the lower orifices. In this formula, Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata (Fuzi), Cinnamomi Cortex (Rougui), Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma (Renshen), Astragali Membranacei Radix (Huangqi), Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (Baizhu), and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao) are herbs that strengthen Yang and benefit Qi. Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix (Qianghuo), Angelicae Pubescentis Radix (Duhuo), Bupleuri Radix (Chaihu), Ligustici Rhizoma (Ben), Saposhnikoviae Radix (Fangfeng), Asari Radix et Rhizoma (Xixin), and Chuanxiong Rhizoma (Chuanxiong) are herbs that raise Yang and elevate the menses. Paeoniae Radix Alba (Baishao), Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata (Dihuang), Carthami Flos (Honghua), Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Danggui), and Persicae Semen (Taoren) are herbs that nourish Yin and enter the Blood level. Strengthening Yang ensures Qi is not deficient; elevating the menses ensures Blood does not sink; nourishing Yin ensures Blood is not dry. Indeed, if so, Blood becomes the guardian of Qi, and Qi becomes the defender of Blood; Blood nourishes internally, and Qi defends externally; ascending and descending follow the meridians completely. How could metrorrhagia occur?

This formula is indicated for postpartum wind-stroke presenting with trismus (lockjaw) and opisthotonos (arching of the back).
After childbirth, both Qi and Blood are deficient, making one susceptible to Wind and Cold pathogens. Wind damaging the sinews causes spasms; Cold damaging the sinews causes pain; hence, trismus and opisthotonos occur. In this formula, Angelicae Pubescentis Radix (Duhuo), Saposhnikoviae Radix (Fangfeng), Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix et Rhizoma (Qinjiao), Puerariae Lobatae Radix (Gegen), and Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix (Fangji) are dispersing-Wind herbs. Cinnamomi Ramulus (Guixin) and Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata (Fuzi) are dispelling-Cold herbs. When Wind is eliminated, sinews do not spasm; when Cold is eliminated, sinews do not hurt. Danggui is used to nourish Blood after dispersing Wind. Shengjiang, Baizhu, and Gancao are used to regulate Qi after dispelling Cold. The necessity to nourish Blood and regulate Qi stems from the principle that postpartum deficiency must never be forgotten.
