论述说:血属于营气,气属于卫气,它们运行于阴分和阳分,昼夜各循环五十周次,体内的五脏六腑,体表的百骸九窍,无不依赖此而得到滋养。何况妇人属纯阴之体,以血为根本,以气为功用,在上表现为乳汁,在下表现为月经。养护得当,则营卫运行通畅而不紊乱;调理失当,则气血失调而月经不应期而至。养生的关键,不可不仔细考察。
论述说:凡是月经不畅,有因风冷侵袭经络,气血受寒则凝涩而不畅的;有因心气郁滞,气血郁结,不能宣通流动的。这两种情况应当仔细审察并治疗。

It is stated that blood belongs to Ying (Nutritive Qi), and Qi belongs to Wei (Defensive Qi). They circulate through the Yin and Yang aspects, completing fifty cycles each day and night. The internal Zang-Fu organs and the external hundred bones and nine orifices all rely on this for nourishment. Moreover, women are of pure Yin constitution, taking blood as their root and Qi as their function. Above, it manifests as milk; below, as menstruation. If nurtured properly, Ying and Wei will flow smoothly without disorder; if regulated improperly, Qi and Blood will be out of phase and menstruation will not occur on time. The principles of health preservation must be carefully examined.
It is stated that any irregularity in menstruation may arise from wind-cold injuring the meridians, causing Qi and Blood to become stagnant due to cold and thus obstructed; or from the stagnation of Heart Qi, leading to the郁结 (depression and accumulation) of Qi and Blood, preventing their free circulation. These two conditions should be carefully diagnosed and treated.
