人的生存，以气血为根本。人的疾病，没有不先损伤其气血的。世间有未婚男女，心中积存思虑，思考忧虑过度，多导致劳损。男子则神色先散乱，女子则月经先闭止。为什么会这样呢？大概是因为忧愁思虑会损伤心脏，心脏受损则血液逆乱枯竭，血液逆乱枯竭则神色先散乱，而月经先闭止。火（心火）既然受病，不能滋养其子脏（脾土），所以食欲不振。脾既虚弱，则金气（肺气）亏损，所以发生咳嗽。咳嗽既作，水气（肾气）断绝，所以四肢干枯。水气不充盈，所以容易发怒，头发焦枯，筋脉痿软。病邪传变至五脏，至此形成劳证，最为难治。有人误以为是血热，使用凉药解毒，殊不知血得热则运行，得冷则凝滞。凡是经血量少，逐渐至不通畅，手足骨肉烦痛，逐渐消瘦，逐渐产生潮热，脉象微数，这是阴虚血热，阳气乘虚侵袭，阴水不能制约阳火，火热逼迫阴水枯竭，应当滋养阴血，千万不要用通利药物攻伐。
另一论治疗妇人，以气衰血旺为本。心主生血，肝主藏血。如今血衰而气也衰，是由于心气虚耗，又不能生血，又不能制约肺金，使肺气得以乘袭肝木。肝一旦亏损，则不能藏血，逐渐至干枯涸竭，不能荣养经络，因而导致月经不调。此药专门补益心元之虚，抑制肺金之盛，调和营卫，滋养血脉，疾病自然痊愈。兼治血气过多、虚劳发热，以及吐血、鼻衄、咳嗽痰喘上壅、胸膈不利、虚劳热嗽、痰喘无汗等症状。可用茯苓补心汤：当归（酒洗）、川芎、白芍（酒炒）、怀熟地黄、陈皮、半夏（汤泡切片姜汁炒）、白茯苓（去皮）、桔梗（去芦）、枳壳（去穣麸炒）、前胡（去芦各一钱）、干葛、紫苏（各七分）、人参、木香（各五分）、甘草（三分）。以上锉为一剂，加生姜、枣子，煎服。
另一论妇人诸虚百损，五劳七伤，月经不调，肢体瘦弱。此药专门治疗月经不调，和调血脉，补益虚劳，扶助元气，健运脾胃，滋养心肺，润泽咽喉，清利头目，安定心慌，安神定魄，清除骨蒸，退除潮热，止住喘嗽，化痰涎，收敛盗汗，止住泄泻，开郁结之气，利胸膈，治疗腹痛，解除烦渴，散发寒热，祛除身体疼痛，大有奇效，不能尽述。济阴至宝丹：当归（酒洗）、白术（去芦炒各八分）、白芍（酒炒八分）、白茯苓（去皮八分）、生知母（去毛）、贝母（去心）、香附（童便炒）、地骨皮、麦门冬（去心）、陈皮（各八分）、薄荷、柴胡、甘草（各三分）。以上锉为一剂，加煨姜三片，水煎，温服。

加味归脾汤：治疗瘀血已去，或脾经失血，小腹作痛无寐，发热盗汗，或脾伤不能摄血，或心脾伤痛，嗜卧少食，或忧思伤脾，血虚发热，或肢体肿痛，大便不调，或月经不准，午后发热内热等症。根据前方，加柴胡、栀子即是。
另一论妇人血虚劳倦，五心烦热，肢体疼痛，头目昏沉，心悸烦躁，口燥咽干，发热盗汗，食欲减退嗜卧，及血热相搏，月经不调，脐腹胀痛，寒热如疟。又治室女血弱阴虚，营卫不和，痰涎潮热，肢体羸瘦，以致骨蒸劳热。宜用逍遥散：当归、白术（去皮炒）、白芍（酒炒）、白茯苓（去皮）、柴胡、甘草（炙各一钱）。以上锉，加煨姜一块，入少许薄荷，水煎，温服。加牡丹皮、山栀仁（炒），名为加味逍遥散。
另一论妇人血虚劳倦，五心烦热，或发热齿痛，日晡时加重，月经不调。此为脾血虚，加升麻愈后。因愤怒复发疼痛，以前方加川芎。

另一论妇人气血两虚，五心虚热，或白带频频注下。先贤曾说，妇人性情刚烈，且少有不如意之处，心中躁急，咸池之火上灼，五心如烈火炭一般。宜用十珍饮子：淮山药（一钱半）、杜仲（盐炒一钱）、人参（一钱）、白术（去芦一钱）、怀生地黄（一钱）、白茯苓（去皮木七分）、当归（一钱）、川芎（七分）、白芍（酒炒一钱）、甘草（三分）。以上锉，加枣二枚，灯心七茎，水煎，空腹服。

Human life is rooted in Qi and Blood. Diseases do not occur without first damaging Qi and Blood. In the world, there are unmarried men and women who harbor excessive thoughts and worries, leading to consumptive disorders due to overthinking. Men may show signs of scattered spirit and complexion first, while women may experience amenorrhea first. Why does this happen? It is because sorrow and worry damage the Heart. When the Heart is damaged, blood flow becomes chaotic and exhausted. Consequently, the spirit scatters and menstruation ceases. Since Fire (Heart Fire) is diseased, it fails to nourish its offspring organ (Spleen Earth), resulting in poor appetite. As the Spleen weakens, Metal energy (Lung Qi) declines, causing coughing. Once coughing occurs, Water energy (Kidney Qi) is cut off, leading to dry limbs. Insufficient Water energy causes irritability, brittle hair, and flaccid tendons. The pathology transmits through the Five Zang organs, eventually forming a Lao syndrome (consumptive disease), which is extremely difficult to treat. Some mistakenly attribute this to Blood Heat and use cooling herbs to resolve it. However, they fail to realize that Blood flows when warm and coagulates when cold. Scanty menstruation progressing to obstruction, accompanied by vexation and pain in the extremities and bones, emaciation, tidal fever, and a slightly rapid pulse indicates Yin Deficiency with Blood Heat. Yang invades due to deficiency, and Yin Water fails to control Yang Fire; the fire forces the water to dry up. Treatment should nourish Yin and Blood, avoiding purgative or draining herbs.
Another discussion on treating women states that the foundation lies in Qi decline and Blood abundance. The Heart generates Blood, and the Liver stores Blood. When both Blood and Qi decline, it is due to Heart Qi deficiency, failing to generate Blood and failing to control Lung Metal, allowing Lung Qi to invade Liver Wood. Liver deficiency leads to an inability to store Blood, resulting in dryness and failure to nourish the meridians, causing irregular menstruation. This formula specifically tonifies Heart Yuan deficiency, suppresses excessive Lung Metal, harmonizes Ying and Wei, and nourishes Blood vessels, allowing the disease to heal spontaneously. It also treats excessive Blood and Qi, consumptive fever, hematemesis, epistaxis, cough with phlegm obstructing the chest, chest fullness, consumptive heat cough, and panting without sweat. Use Fuling Buxin Tang: Danggui (washed in wine), Chuanxiong, Baishao (stir-fried in wine), Huai Shudihuang, Chenpi, Banxia (soaked in water, sliced, stir-fried with ginger juice), Baifuling (peeled), Jiegeng (deveined), Zhike (de-seeded, bran-stir-fried), Qianhu (deveined, each 1 qian), Gange, Zisu (each 7 fen), Renshen, Muxiang (each 5 fen), Gancao (3 fen). Decoct one dose with fresh ginger and dates.
Another discussion addresses various deficiencies and damages in women, five labors and seven injuries, irregular menstruation, and emaciated limbs. This medicine specifically regulates menstruation, harmonizes blood vessels, tonifies consumptive disorders, supports primal Qi, strengthens the Spleen and Stomach, nourishes the Heart and Lungs, moistens the throat, clears the head and eyes, calms palpitations, stabilizes the spirit, eliminates bone-steaming fever, reduces tidal fever, stops panting and coughing, transforms phlegm, arrests night sweats, halts diarrhea, opens stagnant Qi, benefits the chest and diaphragm, treats abdominal pain, relieves thirst, disperses cold and heat, and removes body pain. It has remarkable effects. Ji Yin Zhibao Dan: Danggui (washed in wine), Baizhu (deveined, stir-fried, each 8 fen), Baishao (stir-fried in wine, 8 fen), Baifuling (peeled, 8 fen), Sheng Zhimu (de-hair), Beimu (de-core), Xiangfu (stir-fried with child's urine), Digupi, Maimendong (de-core), Chenpi (each 8 fen), Bohe, Chaihu, Gancao (each 3 fen). Decoct one dose with three slices of roasted ginger, take warm.
Another discussion covers spleen meridian bleeding, insomnia, fever, and night sweats in women. It may be caused by worry and thought damaging the Spleen, failing to control blood, leading to spontaneous bleeding; or forgetfulness, palpitations, and restlessness; or heart-spleen pain, lethargy, and poor appetite; or spleen damage from worry causing blood deficiency fever; or limb pain and irregular bowel movements; or irregular menstruation with afternoon internal heat; or scrofula and abscesses that fail to resolve or drain. Use Guipi Tang: Huangqi (stir-fried with honey water), Renshen, Baizhu (deveined, stir-fried), Baifuling (peeled), Danggui (washed in wine), Yuanzhi (soaked in licorice water, de-core), Suanzaoren (stir-fried), Longyanrou (each 1 qian), Muxiang, Gancao (roasted, each 5 fen). Decoct one dose with ginger and dates.
Jiawei Guipi Tang: Treats cases where blood stasis has been removed or spleen meridian bleeding occurs, with lower abdominal pain, insomnia, fever, and night sweats; or spleen damage failing to control blood; or heart-spleen pain, lethargy, and poor appetite; or spleen damage from worry causing blood deficiency fever; or limb swelling and pain, irregular bowel movements, or irregular menstruation with afternoon internal heat. Add Chaihu and Zhizi to the previous formula.
Another discussion addresses blood deficiency and fatigue in women, presenting with five-palm heat, limb pain, dizziness, palpitations, irritability, dry mouth and throat, fever, night sweats, reduced appetite, and lethargy. It also covers blood-heat conflict causing irregular menstruation, umbilical and abdominal distension and pain, and chills and fever resembling malaria. For unmarried girls with weak blood and Yin deficiency, disharmony of Ying and Wei, phlegm-fluids, tidal fever, and emaciation leading to bone-steaming consumption, use Xiaoyao San: Danggui, Baizhu (peeled, stir-fried), Baishao (stir-fried in wine), Baifuling (peeled), Chaihu, Gancao (roasted, each 1 qian). Decoct with a piece of roasted ginger and a little Bohe, take warm. Adding Mudanpi and Shanzhiren (stir-fried) creates Jiawei Xiaoyao San.
Another discussion addresses blood deficiency and fatigue, five-palm heat, fever with toothache worsening at dusk, and irregular menstruation. This is Spleen Blood deficiency; add Shengma for cure. If pain recurs due to anger, add Chuanxiong to the previous formula.
Another discussion addresses severe deficiency of Qi, Blood, Spleen, and Stomach in consumptive women, presenting with fever, phlegm-cough, severe panting, reckless movement of Ministerial Fire, muscle wasting, heavy limbs, night sweats, low spirit, loose stools, abdominal masses, malaria mother, jaundice, emaciation, and ineffectiveness of various medicines. Use Wuxian San: Nèn Huangqi (stir-fried with honey water), Shen (deveined), Baizhu (deveined, stir-fried), Danggui (washed in wine, each 2 qian), Gancao (roasted, 1 qian). Decoct one dose with five longans and seven lotus seeds, take warm. For heat, add Digupi and Zhimu. For cough, add Wuweizi and Sangbaipi. For phlegm, add Beimu and Banxia. For thirst, add Wuweizi and Maimendong. For hematemesis, add Shengdihuang, Xijiao, Xuanshen, and Maogen juice. For blood deficiency, add Shudihuang and Baishaoyao.
Another discussion addresses dual Qi and Blood deficiency, empty heat in the five centers, or frequent leukorrhea. Ancients said that women often have strong temperaments and feel dissatisfied, leading to inner agitation and the burning of Xianchi Fire upwards, making the five centers feel like hot charcoal. Use Shizhen Yinzi: Huaishanyao (1.5 qian), Duzhong (salt-stir-fried, 1 qian), Renshen (1 qian), Baizhu (deveined, 1 qian), Huai Shengdihuang (1 qian), Baifuling (peeled, wood removed, 7 fen), Danggui (1 qian), Chuanxiong (7 fen), Baishao (stir-fried in wine, 1 qian), Gancao (3 fen). Decoct with two jujubes and seven stalks of Centipeda, take on an empty stomach.
Another treatment targets Gallbladder and Liver meridian symptoms: alternating chills and fever, afternoon tidal fever, silence and lack of appetite, or anger, bitter taste, deafness, cough with fever, hypochondriac pain, leg fullness, difficulty turning, chest and hypochondrium stuffiness, diarrhea, or vomiting sour fluid. Use Xiao Chaihu Tang: Chaihu (2 qian), Huangqin (1.5 qian), Renshen (7 fen), Banxia (1 qian), Gancao (6 fen). Decoct one dose with ginger and dates.
Jiawei Xiao Chaihu Tang: Treats Wind-Heat in the Gallbladder and Liver meridians, swelling and pain around the ears, nodular pain, chills and afternoon fever, or irregular menstruation. This is Xiao Chaihu Tang plus Zhizi and Mudanpi.
