Postpartum mutism should be differentiated into deficiency and excess patterns. Etiologies include phlegm-heat harassing the Heart or failing blood rushing to the Heart. If caused by deficiency of both Qi and Blood leading to mental depression and faintness, the pattern is predominantly deficiency with little excess, which must be clearly distinguished. For deficiency patterns, use Bazhen Decoction (Eight-Treasure Decoction) added with Gouteng (Uncaria Ramulus cum Uncis), Shichangpu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma), and Yuanzhi (Polygalae Radix). For phlegm-heat patterns, add Dansheng (Arisaematis Cum Bile) and Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma) to Erchen Tang (Two-Aged Decoction). For failing blood rushing to the Heart, use Qizhen San, composed of Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Shengdi (Rehmanniae Radix), Xixin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma), Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Zhusha (Cinnabaris), Shichangpu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma), and Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma).
[Note] Postpartum mutism requires treatment differentiation between deficiency and excess. There are cases of phlegm-heat harassing the Heart, cases of failing blood rushing to the Heart, and cases of mental confusion due to Qi and Blood deficiency causing depression and faintness. Generally, postpartum conditions are predominantly deficient rather than excessive. Deficiency patterns are suitable for Bazhen Decoction added with Gouteng (Uncaria Ramulus cum Uncis), Shichangpu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma), and Yuanzhi (Polygalae Radix); phlegm-heat patterns are suitable for Erchen Tang (Two-Aged Decoction) added with Dansheng (Arisaematis Cum Bile) and Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma); failing blood rushing to the Heart is suitable for Qizhen San, consisting of Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Shengdi (Rehmanniae Radix), Xixin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma), Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Zhusha (Cinnabaris), Shichangpu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma), and Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma).

Fushen San (Poria Spiritus Powder), Jiawei Guipi Tang (Modified Spleen-Restoring Decoction).
Postpartum Blood deficiency leads to weak Heart Qi, resulting in palpitations,恍惚 (mental vagueness/unsteadiness), and restlessness. To nourish the Heart and calm the spirit, Fushen San should be used, containing Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Dihuang (Rehmanniae Radix), Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Guixin (Cinnamomi Cortex), Fushen (Poria cum Radice), Hupo (Succinum), Longchi (Dentis Fossum), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), and Niuxi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix). If caused by worry and overthinking injuring the Heart and Spleen, Guipi Tang (Spleen-Restoring Decoction) added with Zhusha (Cinnabaris) and Longchi (Dentis Fossum) is indicated.
[Note] Postpartum Blood deficiency causes Heart Qi to fail to remain within, leading to timid spirit and symptoms of palpitations, mental vagueness, and restlessness. It is appropriate to use Fushen San, whose formula consists of Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Huangqi (Astragali Radix), Shudi (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata), Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Guixin (Cinnamomi Cortex), Fushen (Poria cum Radice), Hupo (Succinum), Longchi (Dentis Fossum), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), and Niuxi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix).

Miaoxiang San (Wonderful Fragrance Powder).
Postpartum delirium, mania, and seeing ghosts are often due to failing blood rushing to the Heart, treated with Xiaotiaojing San (Minor Regulating Menses Powder).

The effect is miraculous.
[Note] When failing blood rushes to the Heart postpartum, causing madness, seeing ghosts, and delirious speech, Xiaotiaojing San (Minor Regulating Menses Powder) is appropriate. If chest stuffiness and mental disturbance result from Heart Blood deficiency where the Shen (Spirit) fails to reside in its abode, then Miaoxiang San (Wonderful Fragrance Powder) is used.
