脾脏受病，不要单纯使用消食导滞的方法。如果是热证，不可随意使用黄芩、黄连，恐怕会导致体内积存的污秽之物凝滞不通；如果是寒证，不宜使用肉桂、附子，反而可能招致新的血液崩漏。
三阳经出现表证的情况较多，看似可以使用发汗法，但如果使用麻黄汤发汗，会严重耗竭阳气；三阴经出现里证严重的情况，看似可以使用泻下法，但如果使用承气汤泻下，会严重枯竭阴血。
耳聋和胁肋疼痛，是由于肾虚导致恶露停滞，不要使用柴胡；说胡话且出汗多，是元气虚弱类似邪气的证候，不要当作胃实热证来治疗。厥逆是由于阳气衰弱引起的，难以分辨寒热，非用大补之法不能回阳；厥逆如果是因为阴血亏损引起的，岂能区分刚柔（阴阳），不用滋养营血的方法怎么能够润养经络？

产后失血多导致大便干燥，在生化汤中加入肉苁蓉，这不是单靠润肠和气就能通便的；产后出汗多导致小便困难，六君子汤中重用人参、白术，必须是生津助液才能通利小便。加参生化汤频繁服用，可以挽救产后的危重证候；活命长生调摄方，必须在产前就加以注意。

Spleen disorders should not be treated solely with methods for digestion and promoting movement. For heat syndromes, do not arbitrarily use *Scutellariae Radix* (Huangqin) or *Coptidis Rhizoma* (Huanglian), as this may cause stagnation of retained impurities; for cold syndromes, avoid using *Cinnamomi Ramulus* (Guizhi) or *Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata* (Fuzi), lest it provoke new hemorrhage.
When the Three Yang meridians present with exterior syndrome patterns, sweating therapy might seem appropriate; however, using *Ephedrae Herba* (Mahuang) would severely deplete Yang Qi. When the Three Yin meridians present with severe interior syndrome patterns, purgative therapy might seem appropriate; however, using *Chengqi Decoction* (Chengqi Tang) would severely deplete Blood and fluids.
Deafness and hypochondriac pain are caused by Kidney deficiency leading to the retention of lochia; do not use *Bupleuri Radix* (Chaihu). Delirium accompanied by profuse sweating is a sign of Yuan Qi (Primordial Qi) weakness resembling pathogenic invasion; do not treat it as Stomach excess heat. Cold extremities (Jue) result from the decline of Yang Qi and are difficult to distinguish between cold and heat types; only vigorous tonification can restore Yang. If Jue results from Yin Blood deficiency, one cannot simply categorize it by rigid/flexible (Yin/Yang) distinctions; nourishing Ying (Nutritive) Blood is necessary to moisten the collaterals.
Tidal fever resembling malaria will drag on if treated as malaria; mental confusion resembling possession will worsen immediately if treated as an external pathogen. These symptoms all belong to severe deficiency and require vigorous tonification.
Postpartum blood loss leading to dry stool requires adding *Cistanche Deserticola* (Roucongrou) to *Shenghua Decoction* (Shenghua Tang); this is not something that can be resolved merely by moistening the intestines and harmonizing Qi. Postpartum excessive sweating leading to difficulty in urination requires doubling the dosage of *Ginseng Radix* (Renshen) and *Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma* (Baizhu) in *Liujunzi Decoction* (Liujunzi Tang); generating fluids and assisting liquids is essential for promoting urination. Frequent administration of *Renshen*-added *Shenghua Decoction* can rescue critical postpartum conditions; the *Huoming Changsheng* regulation method must be attended to during pregnancy.

Usage: Decoct in water, add half a small cup of child's urine (Tongbian) and wine. If pressing the abdomen increases pain, this indicates blood stasis; this formula is suitable, or use *Shixiao San* (Shixiao Powder) to dissipate the stasis. If pressing does not increase pain, this indicates Blood deficiency; *Siwu Decoction* (Siwu Tang) with *Ginseng*, *Poria* (Fuling), and *Atractylodes* is suitable. If pain is accompanied by vomiting, this indicates Stomach deficiency; *Liujunzi Decoction* (Liujunzi Tang) is suitable. If diarrhea occurs, this indicates Spleen deficiency; *Liujunzi Decoction* administered with *Ershen Wan* (Ershen Pill) is suitable.
