昔宋褚澄疗师尼寡妇。别制方者。盖有谓也。此二种寡居。独阴无阳。欲心萌而多不遂。
是以阴阳交争。乍寒乍热。全类温疟。久则为劳。尝读史记仓公传。载济北王侍人韩女。病腰背痛
寒热。众医皆为寒热病。治之不瘥。仓公曰。此病得之欲男子不可得也。众曰。何以知欲男子不可
得。仓公曰。诊其脉。肝脉弦出寸。故是以知之。盖男子以精为主。妇人以血为主。男子精盛以思
室。妇人血盛以怀胎。夫肝、摄血者也。是厥阴肝脉。弦出寸口。上鱼际。则阴盛可知矣。故知
褚澄之言。信有谓矣。

过去宋朝的褚澄治疗尼姑、和尚和寡妇，另外创制方剂，是有其道理的。这两种人（尼姑、寡妇）独居，只有阴气而没有阳气，性欲萌发却大多不能实现。因此阴阳相互交争，忽冷忽热，完全像温疟病一样，时间久了就会变成虚劳病。我曾经读《史记·仓公传》，里面记载济北王的侍妾韩女，患病腰背疼痛，忽冷忽热。众位医生都认为是寒热病，治疗却没有痊愈。仓公说：“这个病是因为想要男子而不能得到所致。”众人问：“怎么知道她是想要男子而不能得到呢？”仓公说：“诊察她的脉象，肝脉弦硬且超出寸口，向上延伸至鱼际部位，所以据此知道。”大概男子以精为主，女子以血为主。男子精气旺盛时思慕房事，女子血液旺盛时容易受孕怀胎。肝脏是统摄血液的器官。如果是厥阴肝脉，脉象弦硬且超出寸口，向上到达鱼际，那么阴气盛的情况就可以知道了。所以我知道褚澄的话，确实是有依据的。
【通经丸】治疗妇女及未婚女子月经不调，疼痛，或者形成血瘕（腹内结块）。
桂心、川乌头、桃仁、当归、广术（炮制）、干姜（炮制）、川椒（炒至出油）、大黄（煨制）、青皮（去白瓤，以上各等分）。
将以上九味药研为细末。每次取一两药粉，用四钱米醋熬成膏状，与剩下的六钱药粉放入臼中，捣杵一千下，可以制成丸药则做成梧桐子大小。每次服用二十丸，用淡醋汤送服。加量至三十丸也可以，用温酒送服亦可。有一位妇女因气血凝滞而疼痛，服用几次后便见效。
【生地黄丸】许学士治疗一位尼姑，患有怕风、身体疲倦，忽冷忽热，面色发红、心慌心悸，有时自汗。当时瘟疫之气盛行，医生见她有寒热症状，当作伤寒来治疗，使用大柴胡汤和小柴胡汤混合服用数日，病情加重，于是召请我诊治。诊视后说：三部脉象没有寒邪的表现，只是厥阴脉弦长且上达鱼际，适宜服用抑阴等药物治疗。所以我创制了这个方剂。
生地黄（二两）、柴胡、秦艽、黄芩（各半两）、芍药（一两）。
将以上药物研为细末，用蜂蜜制成梧桐子大小的丸药。每次服用三十丸，用乌梅汤吞服，每日三次，不拘时间。

熟地黄（二两二分）、山茱萸、白芜荑、干姜（炮制）、代赭石（醋淬）、白芍药（炒制，各一两）、浓朴（姜汁制）、白僵蚕（炒制，各半两）。

In the past, Chu Cheng of the Song Dynasty treated nuns, monks, and widows by creating separate prescriptions, which was based on specific reasoning. These two types of individuals (nuns and widows) lived in solitude, possessing only Yin without Yang. Their sexual desire would arise but often remained unfulfilled. Consequently, Yin and Yang would contend with each other, resulting in alternating chills and fever, resembling warm malaria (Wen Nue). If prolonged, this condition would develop into consumptive disease (Lao). I once read the "Biography of Cang Gong" in the *Records of the Grand Historian* (*Shiji*), which recorded that Han Nu, a maid-servant of King Jibei, suffered from lower back and abdominal pain accompanied by alternating chills and fever. Many physicians diagnosed her with a cold-heat disorder, but treatment failed to cure her. Cang Gong stated, "This illness arises from desiring a man but being unable to obtain one." The crowd asked, "How do you know she desires a man but cannot obtain one?" Cang Gong replied, "Upon palpating her pulse, the Liver pulse is wiry and extends beyond the Cun position, reaching up to the Yuji area; thus, I know this." Generally, men are governed by Essence (Jing), while women are governed by Blood (Xue). When a man's Essence is abundant, he yearns for sexual intercourse; when a woman's Blood is abundant, she is capable of conceiving. The Liver stores and regulates Blood. If the Jueyin Liver pulse is wiry and extends beyond the Cun position, reaching up to the Yuji, it indicates an abundance of Yin. Therefore, I understand that Chu Cheng's words indeed have a basis.
[Tongjing Pill] Treats irregular menstruation and pain in married or unmarried women, or the formation of blood masses (Xue Xia).
Guixin (Cinnamon Heart), Chuan Wutou (Aconiti Radix Lateralis Preparata), Taoren (Persicae Semen), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Guangzhu (Curcumae Rhizoma, processed), Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, processed), Chuanjiao (Sichuan Pepper, stir-fried until oil appears), Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, baked), Qingpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride, white pith removed, all in equal parts).
Grind the above nine ingredients into powder. For every liang of powder, use 4 qian of rice vinegar to boil into a paste. Mix this paste with the remaining 6 qian of powder in a mortar, pound a thousand times. Form pills the size of paulownia seeds. Take 20 pills per dose, administered with light vinegar water. The dosage can be increased to 30 pills. Warm wine may also be used. A woman suffering from pain due to coagulation of Qi and Blood recovered after several doses.
[Shengdihuang Pill] Scholar Xu treated a nun who suffered from aversion to wind, fatigue, alternating chills and fever, flushed face, palpitations, and spontaneous sweating. At that time, epidemic pathogenic factors were prevalent. Physicians saw her chills and fever and treated her as a Shanghan (Cold Damage) disease, administering Da Chaihu Tang and Xiao Chaihu Tang mixed together for several days. Her condition worsened, so she summoned me for treatment. Upon examination, I said: "The pulses in the three positions show no signs of cold pathogens; rather, the Jueyin pulse is wiry, long, and reaches the Yuji. It is appropriate to treat with Yin-suppressing medications." Therefore, I formulated this prescription.
Shengdihuang (Rehmanniae Radix, 2 liang), Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix), Qinjiao (Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, each 0.5 liang), Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix, 1 liang).
