妇人尺脉盛，右手脉大，皆其常也。血盛气衰为从，从则百病不生，孕育自成。然妇人
见理不明，胸襟窄狭，动多郁怒，怒气伤肝，肝动克脾，脾不运化而生湿，湿生痰，痰生热，
热生风，而症瘕淋闭崩漏带下之病生。急宜治其标，风则疏之，热则清之，痰则化之，湿则
利之，诸病各从类治。缓宜治其本，平肝补脾抑其气，以行其血，此其大凡也。是故古人动
用二陈汤化痰燥湿，四物汤补血，香附破气，黄芩清热，柴胡平肝，白术补脾，虽千变万化，
不离此乎。
加减二陈汤（治杂症） 二陈橘半茯苓草，清气化痰为至宝，膈上不宽加枳桔，火旺生

中老痰结，滞住咽喉咯不出，半夏蒌姜附桔连，少助玄胡痰自减。痰在经络及四肢，姜汁遂
将竹沥施，胸胃有痰须枳实，胁间白芥即能除。温胆汤加升茹实，宁神豁痰为第一，若加枳
实共南星，汤号导痰能利膈。去草陈皮四七汤，加添苏朴与生姜，散郁消痰兼理气，孕生恶
阻用之康。呕吐皆因胃火炎，脉来洪数呕连绵，急用此方加枳实，竹茹煎服炒黄连，若还药
也吞不下，槟榔须少苏木煎。五六月来痛不休，心中纳闷手难揉，多加枳朴芩连芍，便闭硝
黄一服疗。嘈杂嗳气一般看，胸中积热与停痰，石膏香附并星下，二陈加减有何难，闷胀吞
酸与吐酸，本方加入炒黄连，水停心中名为饮，枳茯猪苓利小便，此是二陈加减法，休要浪
与世人传。
加减四物汤 妇人虽则有专工，余病皆与男子同，独有胎前与产后，血崩经候滞难通。
古人故令立四物，加减君臣仔细述，血枯经闭加桃仁，苏木马鞭亦可入。躯脂满闭去地黄，

枳壳黄芩入。胎上作胀名子悬，芩莎砂壳及陈甘。子痫猝倒加柴芩，汁沥莎甘术与陈。产难
前方还去地，更加益母并芷桔，热服加射两三分，烧取男发蛇蝉蜕。产后惟宜大补血，虽有
余痰从末治，去芍药兮易黄 ，恐其酸寒伐生气。气虚加参术茯甘，发热干姜为要剂。自汗
多者少川芎，渴加五味麦门冬。腹痛非芍则不可，但以酒炒不为凶。恶露不去腹作痛，香附
灵脂效若神，为末调入前汤内，甚则桃仁四五分。子宫未敛而作痛，酸炒芍甘粟壳共，入少

鲍氏方 治赤白带。
尺脉在女性中通常较为旺盛，右手脉象宏大，这都属于正常现象。血气旺盛而气机相对衰弱属于顺证，顺证则百病不生，自然容易受孕。然而，许多妇人见识浅陋，心胸狭窄，动不动就发怒。怒气会损伤肝脏，肝气亢盛克制脾土，导致脾的运化功能失常而生湿，湿气积聚形成痰，痰郁久化热，热极生风，从而产生症瘕（腹内结块）、淋证、闭经、崩漏、带下等病症。此时应当急治其标：有风邪则疏风，有热邪则清热，有痰则化痰，有湿则利湿，各种病症分别按照其性质治疗。待病情缓和后应治其本，通过平抑肝气、补益脾气来调节气机，进而推动血液运行，这是大概的原则。因此古人常使用二陈汤来化痰燥湿，四物汤来补血，香附来破气行滞，黄芩来清热，柴胡来平抑肝气，白术来补脾，虽然病情千变万化，但离不开这些基本方法。
加减二陈汤（治疗各种杂症）：二陈汤由陈皮、半夏、茯苓、甘草组成，是清气化痰的至宝之方。如果膈间不宽畅，可加入枳壳、桔梗；如果火旺生痰，加入黄芩效果最好。加入人参、白术称为六君子汤，健脾和胃没有比它更好的了。如果是中脘部因寒疼痛，去掉人参，配合香附、砂仁使用都能止痛。饮食过量无法消化，可用神曲、黄柏、山楂、厚朴调理。再加枳实、炒黄芩，何必担心体质虚弱脾胃娇嫩呢？咳嗽生痰要分寒热，热痰用黄芩、黄连并加枳壳、桔梗；寒痰在原方基础上配伍枳壳、缩砂仁，顺气后胸中痰自减。若是风寒外感引起的咳嗽，用二陈汤加前胡，干葛、桑叶、杏仁能消导痰滞，李东垣将此方命名为参苏饮。二陈汤中的半夏性燥，血虚烦渴者不宜使用，若需加入四物汤中不必加半夏，可用贝母代替以专取疗效。人有风痰疾病发生，可用天麻、白芷、制南星；湿痰在胃心中多咳嗽，苍术、白术任选一味配合二陈汤。火郁胸中老痰凝结，阻滞咽喉咯吐不出，可用半夏、瓜蒌、生姜、附子、桔梗、黄连，稍加玄胡索，痰自减少。痰在经络及四肢，需用姜汁送服竹沥；胸胃有痰须用枳实；胁间痰饮可用白芥子消除。温胆汤加入升麻、茹实（疑为竹茹之误或特定用法），宁神豁痰为首选；若加入枳实、南星，此汤名为导痰汤，能利膈除痰。去掉甘草、陈皮即为四七汤，加入紫苏、厚朴与生姜，可散郁消痰兼理气，孕妇妊娠恶阻服用可安康。呕吐皆因胃火炎上，脉象洪数呕吐连绵，急用此方加枳实，竹茹煎服并炒黄连；如果药也吞不下，需少用槟榔，加苏木煎服。五六月间腹痛不休，心中郁闷手难揉按，多加枳壳、厚朴、黄芩、黄连、白芍，若大便闭塞，用芒硝、大黄一剂即可治愈。嘈杂嗳气与此类似看待，多为胸中积热与停痰，用石膏、香附、南星，二陈汤加减有何困难？胸闷胀满吞酸与吐酸，在本方中加入炒黄连。水饮停聚心中名为“饮”，用枳壳、茯苓、猪苓利小便，这就是二陈汤的加减法，不要随意泄露给世人。
加减四物汤：妇人虽然有专门的妇科医生，其余疾病大多与男子相同，独有胎前与产后，以及血崩、月经滞后难通等情况不同。古人因此设立四物汤，对君臣药物的加减仔细阐述。血枯经闭加入桃仁，苏木、马鞭草也可加入。身体肥胖脂肪厚导致经闭者去掉地黄，再合用二陈汤加莎草根、连翘实（瘦人则因血枯经闭，肥人则因躯脂满闭）。血瘀不行导致腰腹痛，可用调胃承气汤同用（大黄四钱，甘草二钱，水两碗，先煎至一半，入芒硝三钱，溶化服用）。或者只用川芎、当归加蓬莪术、肉桂，血瘀证越鞠丸最为珍贵。经期过期是血虚，加入升麻、陈皮、柴胡、木香。经期提前是血热，热则血色紫黑并有血块凝结，均用人参、黄连、香附切片。经水涩少可加葵根、红花；过多则与人参、白术同用。经期忽来忽断发寒热，宜与小柴胡汤相合。经水作痛是血实，用木香、玄胡索、蓬莪术；若夏季炎热加黄芩、柴胡，再与桃仁、红花、马鞭草、连翘实同吃。经后作痛属血虚症，四君子汤与之并用。赤白痢疾腹微痛，脉沉微者用干姜、肉桂。若治血崩有异方，或加入荆芥或干姜。又一方加入莎草根、蒲黄、榆皮、升麻、白术与人参，煎煮调服稷米灰六七分，且用续断作为主药。安胎用生姜、人参、白术、黄芩，砂仁、紫苏、甘草与陈皮。胎痛将香附研为末，紫苏汤调服几帖。怀孕恶心名为恶阻，用姜炒栀子、黄连配合二陈汤辅助。怀孕下血多属胎漏，用阿胶、陈皮、栀子、黄柏、木通、甘草授受。孕期烦乱称为子烦，用人参、远志、神曲、栀子、黄芩、白术、甘草。子肿用桔梗、紫苏与滑石，大腹皮、枳壳、黄芩加入。胎上作胀名为子悬，用黄芩、莎草根、砂仁、枳壳及陈皮、甘草。子痫猝倒加柴胡、黄芩，竹沥、莎草根、甘草、白术与陈皮。产难前方还去掉地黄，更加益母草、白芷、桔梗，热服加射干两三分，烧取男发、蛇蜕、蝉蜕。产后惟宜大补血虚，虽有剩余痰浊也从次要治疗，去掉芍药改用黄芪，恐怕其酸寒伐伤生气。气虚加人参、白术、茯苓、甘草，发热干姜为要剂。自汗多者少用川芎，口渴加五味子、麦门冬。腹痛非芍药不可，但以酒炒不为凶险。恶露不去腹部作痛，香附、五灵脂效若神明，研为末调入前汤内，严重时加桃仁四五分。子宫未收敛而作痛，炒酸芍药、甘草、粟壳共用，入少许米醋以收敛，或只用山楂加糖使用。恶露不去发寒热，更加三棱、蓬莪术、莎草根、乳香、没药，五灵脂、干漆、桃仁见效快。腹痛不息加香附，乌药、陈皮、肉桂、良姜佐助，煎入童便与米醋。月余经血淋沥不止，加入升麻及白芷，血余烧灰调服之，阴部疼痛更加防己饵服。遍身浮肿加乳香、没药，桂枝通络、大腹皮、良姜见效快，槟榔、金沙、血竭同用。子宫下垂不收合四君子汤，黄芪蜜炙加入防风、升麻。口眼歪斜似中风，亦合四君子汤用最工，荆芥、附子还加入，少佐羌活并防风。
四物汤轻重解：川芎（调理肝脏，春季宜加倍、弦脉宜加倍、头痛宜加倍）；白芍（调理脾脏，夏季宜加倍、洪脉宜加倍、泄泻宜加倍）；地黄（调理肺脏，秋季宜加倍、涩脉宜加倍、细虚脉宜加倍）；当归（调理肾脏，冬季宜加倍、沉脉宜加倍、寒证宜加倍）。四物汤随四季变化使用：春加防风，夏加黄芩，秋加天冬，冬加桂枝。
加减逍遥散：治疗脾虚发热，或潮热，或自汗盗汗，或头痛目涩，或怔忡不宁，脸颊发红口干，或月经不调，或肚腹作痛；或小腹重坠，水道涩痛，或肿痛出脓，内热作渴。

（十枣汤见《局方》）
The Chi pulse (pulse at the wrist root) is typically vigorous in women, and a large pulse on the right hand is also considered normal. When blood is abundant and Qi is relatively deficient, it is a favorable condition; in such cases, myriad diseases do not arise, and conception occurs naturally. However, many women lack insight, have narrow minds, and are prone to anger. Anger damages the Liver, causing Liver Qi to overact upon the Spleen. The Spleen fails to transform and transport, leading to Dampness, which condenses into Phlegm. Phlegm stagnates and generates Heat, and extreme Heat generates Wind, resulting in conditions such as masses (abdominal lumps), strangury, amenorrhea, metrorrhagia, and leukorrhea. In these acute stages, one should treat the branch (symptoms): disperse Wind if present, clear Heat if present, resolve Phlegm if present, and promote diuresis for Dampness. Each disease should be treated according to its nature. Once the condition stabilizes, one should treat the root: soothe the Liver, tonify the Spleen, regulate Qi, and thereby move Blood. This is the general principle. Therefore, ancients often used Er Chen Tang (Two-Cured Decoction) to resolve Phlegm and dry Dampness, Si Wu Tang (Four-Substance Decoction) to nourish Blood, Xiang Fu (Cyperus Rhizome) to move Qi and break stagnation, Huang Qin (Scutellaria Root) to clear Heat, Chai Hu (Bupleurum Root) to soothe the Liver, and Bai Zhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome) to tonify the Spleen. Although conditions may change infinitely, they do not deviate from these basics.
Modified Er Chen Tang (for miscellaneous diseases): Er Chen Tang consists of Chen Pi (Tangerine Peel), Ban Xia (Pinellia Tuber), Fu Ling (Poria), and Gan Cao (Licorice Root); it is a supreme treasure for clearing Qi and resolving Phlegm. If the chest and diaphragm feel full and unrelieved, add Zhi Ke (Aurantium Fruit) and Jie Geng (Platycodon Root). If Fire is excessive generating Phlegm, Huang Qin is excellent. Adding Ren Shen (Ginseng) and Bai Zhu creates Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six-Gentlemen Decoction), which is unsurpassed for strengthening the Spleen and harmonizing the Stomach. For cold pain in the Zhong Wan region (CV12), remove Ren Shen and combine with Xiang Fu and Sha Ren (Amomum Fruit), which can alleviate pain. For indigestion due to overeating, use Qu Shen (Medicated Leaven), Huang Bo (Phellodendron Bark), Shan Zha (Hawthorn Fruit), and Hou Po (Magnolia Bark). Adding Zhi Shi (Immature Aurantium) and stir-fried Huang Qin alleviates concerns about weak constitution and delicate Spleen-Stomach. For cough with Phlegm, distinguish between Cold and Heat: for Heat, use Huang Qin, Lian Zi (Coptis Rhizome) with Zhi Ke and Jie Geng; for Cold Phlegm, add Zhi Ke and Su Su Zi (Perilla Seed) to the original formula to direct Qi downward so Phlegm diminishes. For cough due to external Wind-Cold, use Er Chen Tang plus Qian Hu (Peucedanum Root), Ge Gen (Kudzu Root), Sang Ye (Mulberry Leaf), and Xing Ren (Apricot Seed); Li Dongyuan named this Shen Su Yin (Ginseng and Perilla Decoction). Ban Xia in Er Chen Tang is drying; it is contraindicated for Blood deficiency with irritability and thirst. If adding to Si Wu Tang, do not use Ban Xia; instead, use Bei Mu (Fritillaria Bulb) for specific efficacy. For Wind-Phlegm diseases, use Tian Ma (Gastrodia Tuber), Bai Zhi (Angelica Dahurica Root), and Zhi Nan Xing (Prepared Arisaema Rhizome). For Damp-Phlegm in the Stomach causing frequent coughing, choose either Cang Zhu (Atractylodes Lancea Rhizome) or Bai Zhu combined with Er Chen Tang. For old Phlegm knotting in the chest due to constrained Fire, obstructing the throat and difficult to expectorate, use Ban Xia, Gua Lou (Trichosanthes Fruit), Sheng Jiang (Fresh Ginger), Fu Zi (Aconite Root), Jie Geng, and Huang Lian (Coptis Rhizome), with a little Yan Hu Suo (Corydalis Rhizome) to reduce Phlegm. For Phlegm in the meridians and limbs, administer Zhu Li (Bamboo Sap) with Jiang汁 (Ginger Juice). For Phlegm in the chest and Stomach, use Zhi Shi. For Phlegm in the hypochondrium, Bai Jie Zi (White Mustard Seed) is effective. Wen Dan Tang (Warm the Gallbladder Decoction) added with Sheng Ma (Cimicifuga Rhizome) and Zhu Ru (Bamboo Shavings) is first-rate for calming the Spirit and resolving Phlegm; adding Zhi Shi and Nan Xing creates Dao Tan Tang (Guiding Phlegm Out Decoction) to benefit the diaphragm. Removing Gan Cao and Chen Pi yields Si Qi Tang (Four-Qi Decoction); adding Su Ye (Perilla Leaf), Hou Po, and Sheng Jiang disperses constraint, resolves Phlegm, and regulates Qi, providing relief for pregnancy nausea (E Zu). Vomiting is caused by Stomach Fire flaring up; if the pulse is surging and rapid with continuous vomiting, urgently use this formula with Zhi Shi, Zhu Ru decocted with stir-fried Huang Lian. If medicines cannot be swallowed, use a small amount of Bing Lang (Areca Seed) decocted with Su Mu (Sandalwood). During May and June, if abdominal pain persists with inner frustration and inability to press the abdomen, add more Zhi Ke, Hou Po, Huang Qin, Huang Lian, and Bai Shao (White Peony Root); if constipation exists, Yi Fu Liao (One-Dose Cure) with Xiao Shi (Mirabilite) and Da Huang (Rhubarb Root) works instantly. Palpitations and belching are viewed similarly, often due to accumulated Heat and retained Phlegm in the chest; using Shi Gao (Gypsum), Xiang Fu, and Nan Xing makes modified Er Chen Tang easy to apply. For chest oppression, acid regurgitation, and vomiting acid, add stir-fried Huang Lian to the base formula. Water retention in the heart region is called "Yin" (Fluid Retention); use Zhi Ke, Fu Ling, and Zhu Ling (Polyporus) to promote urination. This is the method of modifying Er Chen Tang; do not disseminate it recklessly.
Modified Si Wu Tang: Although women have specialized physicians, most diseases are the same as men's, except for prenatal and postnatal conditions, metrorrhagia, and menstrual stagnation/difficulty. Ancients established Si Wu Tang (Four-Substance Decoction), carefully detailing modifications of sovereign and minister herbs. For Blood depletion and amenorrhea, add Tao Ren (Peach Kernel); Su Mu and Ma Bian Cao (Verbena Herb) can also be added. For obesity-related amenorrhea due to fat accumulation, remove Di Huang (Rehmannia Root) and combine with Er Chen Tang plus Sha Cao Gen (Cyperus Rotundus Rhizome) and Lian Qiao Shi (likely referring to a specific fruit/seed, context implies clearing heat/stasis). For Blood stasis causing lower back and abdominal pain, use Tiao Wei Cheng Qi Tang (Regulate the Stomach and Order the Qi Decoction) together (Da Huang 4 qian, Gan Cao 2 qian, water 2 zhong, boil to half, add Mang Xiao 3 qian, dissolve and take). Or simply use Xiong Gui (Chuan Xiong and Dang Gui) with Peng Ze (Curcuma Zedoaria) and Rou Gui (Cinnamon Bark); Yue Ju Wan (Six-Stagnation Pill) is precious for Blood stasis. Menstruation arriving late indicates Blood deficiency; add Sheng Ma, Chen Pi, Chai Hu, and Mu Xiang. Menstruation arriving early indicates Blood Heat; Heat causes dark purple color and clots, treating all with Ren Shen, Lian Zi, and Xiang Fu. Scanty menstruation adds Kui Gen (Hibiscus Root) and Hong Hua (Safflower); excessive flow combines with Ren Shen and Bai Zhu. Irregular onset with chills and fever suggests combining with Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction). Painful menstruation indicates Blood excess; use Mu Xiang, Yan Hu Suo, and Peng Ze. In summer heat, add Huang Qin and Chai Hu, along with Tao Ren, Hong Hua, Ma Bian Cao, and Lian Qiao Shi. Pain after menstruation indicates Blood deficiency; combine with Si Jun Zi Tang (Four-Gentlemen Decoction). For dysentery with slight abdominal pain and deep, faint pulse, use Gan Jiang (Dried Ginger) and Rou Gui. For metrorrhagia, there are different formulas: add Jing Jie (Schizonepeta) or Gan Jiang. Another formula adds Sha Cao Gen, Pu Huang (Typha Pollen), Yu Pi (Ulmus Bark), Sheng Ma, Bai Zhu, and Ren Shen, decocted with Ji Hui (Millet Ash) 6-7 fen, using Xu Duan (Dipsacus Root) as sovereign. For calming the fetus, use Sheng Jiang, Ren Shen, Bai Zhu, Huang Qin, Sha Ren, Zi Su, Gan Cao, and Chen Pi. For fetal pain, powder Xiang Fu and take with Zi Su Tang for several doses. Nausea during pregnancy is called E Zu; use stir-fried Zhi Zi (Gardenia Fruit), Huang Lian, assisted by Er Chen Tang. Vaginal bleeding during pregnancy is Tai Lou (Fetal Leakage); use Ejiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin), Chen Pi, Zhi Zi, Huang Bo, Mu Tong, and Gan Cao. Restlessness during pregnancy is Zi Fan (Fetal Agitation); use Ren Shen, Yuan Zhi (Polygala Root), Shen Qu (Medicated Leaven), Zhi Zi, Huang Qin, Bai Zhu, and Gan Cao. For Zi Zhong (Fetal Edema), use Jie Geng, Zi Su, and Hua Shi (Talcum); add Da Fu Pi (Areca Peel), Zhi Ke, and Huang Qin. Distension rising to the chest is Zi Xuan (Fetal Suspension); use Huang Qin, Sha Cao Gen, Sha Ren, Zhi Ke, Chen Pi, and Gan Cao. For Zi Xian (Fetal Eclampsia) with sudden collapse, add Chai Hu, Huang Qin, Zhu Li, Sha Cao Gen, Gan Cao, Bai Zhu, and Chen Pi. For difficult labor, remove Di Huang from the previous formula, add Yi Mu Cao (Motherwort Herb), Bai Zhi, and Jie Geng; take hot with She Gan (Belamcanda Rhizome) 2-3 fen, and burnt Male Hair, Snake Skin, and Cicada Slough. Postpartum requires major Blood tonification; even if there is residual Phlegm, treat it secondarily. Remove Shao Yao (Peony Root) and replace with Huang Qi (Astragalus Root), lest its sour-cold nature damage vital Qi. For Qi deficiency, add Ren Shen, Bai Zhu, Fu Ling, and Gan Cao; for fever, Gan Jiang is essential. For spontaneous sweating, reduce Chuan Xiong; for thirst, add Wu Wei Zi (Schisandra Berry) and Mai Dong (Ophiopogon Tuber). Abdominal pain requires Shao Yao, but wine-fried is safer. For lochia retention with abdominal pain, Xiang Fu and Wu Ling Zhi (Trogopterus Dung) are miraculous; powder them and mix into the decoction, or add Tao Ren 4-5 fen for severe cases. For uterine involution pain, use stir-fried Sour Shao Yao, Gan Cao, and Su Ke (Corn Silk), adding a little rice vinegar to astringe, or simply use Shan Zha with sugar. For lochia retention with chills and fever, add San Leng (Burreed Tuber), Peng Ze, Sha Cao Gen, Ru Xiang (Frankincense), Mo Yao (Myrrh), Wu Ling Zhi, Gan Xi (Drynaria Rhizome), and Tao Ren for quick results. For incessant abdominal pain, add Xiang Fu, Wu Yao (Lindera Root), Chen Pi, Rou Gui, and Liang Jiang (Zingiber Officinale) as assistants; decoct with Tong Bian (Child's Urine) and rice vinegar. For menstrual dripping for over a month, add Sheng Ma and Bai Zhi, and take Xue Yu (Burnt Human Hair) powder. For genital pain, add Fang Ji (Stephania Root). For generalized edema, add Ru Xiang, Mo Yao, Gui Zhi (Cinnamon Twig), Da Fu Pi, Liang Jiang, Bing Lang, Jin Sha (Gold Dust), and Xue Jie (Dragon's Blood). For uterine prolapse, combine with Si Jun Zi Tang, add honey-fried Huang Qi, Fang Feng (Saposhnikovia Root), and Sheng Ma. For facial paralysis resembling stroke, combine with Si Jun Zi Tang, add Jing Jie and Fu Zi, with minor amounts of Qiang Huo (Notopterygium Rhizome) and Fang Feng.

Amenorrhea:
Women's menstruation stops due to multiple births damaging Blood, abortion, prolonged tidal fever damaging Blood, or mostly due to Spleen-Stomach damage. For low Blood volume, treat slowly. Use Bai Zhu as sovereign, Fu Ling and Shao Yao as ministers, assisted by Huang Qi, Gan Cao, Chen Pi, Mai Ya (Barley Sprout), Chai Hu, Chuan Xiong, and Dang Gui to tonify Spleen and generate Blood, allowing menstruation to resume naturally.

Metrorrhagia and Metrostaxis:
Menstruation had stopped long ago, suddenly heavy bleeding with abdominal pain and fever is called Beng (Collapse/Yin); menstruation flowing for 30 days without stopping is called Lou (Leakage/Yang).
If the pulse is rapid, surging, and swift, it indicates leakage. Collapse involves massive bleeding; how can it be Cold? But after blood loss, the person becomes deficient; must greatly tonify Qi... to counter deficient Yang pulsation.
Metrorrhagia and Metrostaxis:
Danxi argued: Metrorrhagia must distinguish Cold and Heat. Acute stage treat the branch: use Bai Zhi Tang to mix Bai Cao Shuang powder. Severe cases use Chen Zong Hui (Old Palm Ash), followed by Si Wu Tang added with Huang Qin.
For excessive bleeding, first use Wu Ling Zhi (half raw, half fried) powder, taken with wine. Another method: chew raw Sesame Seeds, 6-7 times daily, curing the disease as Wu Ling Zhi can both move and stop bleeding. Purple clots indicate Heat; use Si Wu Tang added with Huang Lian. For metrorrhagia, use Xiang Fu and Bai Zhi pills.
For Qi and Blood deficiency, use Si Wu Tang added with Ren Shen and Huang Qi. Leakage due to Heat and deficiency uses Si Wu Tang added with Huang Lian. For metrorrhagia with leukorrhea, use Pepper... powder, or Bai Zhi (roasted with lime, ash removed, powdered) and a little Qian Cao (Madder Root), made into pills with congee. One formula uses raw Dog Skull Bone (burnt to ash preserving nature), taken with wine or mixed in medicine.
Sheng Ma Si Wu Tang: For metrorrhagia regardless of deficiency/excess, use Si Wu Tang added with Sheng Ma, Fang Feng, and Jing Jie Sui (burnt on lamp). If bleeding continues, add Bai Zhu, Pu Huang, and other hemostatics.

Remaining Discussion:
All metrorrhagia is due to meridian disorder. If it lasts 1-2 days, blood stasis forms nests; if abruptly stopped with astringents, it will worsen. Should use Five... [text incomplete].
Leukorrhea:
Red indicates Blood, White indicates Qi. Originally having Damp-Heat, childbirth/labor/fatigue damages Ying and Wei, turbid Qi penetrates Bladder, flowing as foul discharge. Secular formulas often use drying-hot astringents; though occasionally effective, they prolong the disease. One knows Lower Jiao deficiency-cold but ignores Middle Jiao Damp-Heat. Treatment generally requires clearing Upper, solidifying Lower, regulating Spleen, nourishing Blood, purifying Heart, avoiding rich flavors, and leukorrhea will cease. Danxi advocated starting with drying-moistening, using Er Chen Tang added with Cang Zhu and Bai Zhu; severe cases induce vomiting to lift Qi. Obese people mostly have Damp-Phlegm; use Hai Shi (Flint/Pyrite), Ban Xia, Nan Xing (fried), Huang Bo, Cang Zhu, Chuan Xiong, Chun Pi. Thin people have less leukorrhea; if present, it is mostly Heat; use fried Bai, Hua Shi, Chun Pi, Chuan Xiong, Hai Shi (or Ge Fen if no Hai Shi, or Qing Dai if no Chun Pi) made into pills. Excess can be purged, deficiency cannot be harshly attacked. For Blood deficiency, Modified Si Wu Tang; for Qi deficiency, alternate Ren Shen, Bai Zhu, Chen Pi. For Damp dominance, use Gu Chang Wan; for Minister Fire movement, add minor Huang Bo, Hua Shi, Long Gu, Chi Shi Zhi; for stagnation, add Kui Hua (White flower for white discharge, Red flower for red discharge); if dry nature, add Huang Lian; for Phlegm-Qi, add Cang Zhu, Xiang Fu, Hua Shi, Ge Fen, Ban Xia, Fu Ling pills.

Si Wu Tang added with Huang Bo, Gan Jiang, Bei Mu, Gan Cao, Chu Gen Bai Pi (Toona Root Bark), Sheng Jiang. Decoct and take. For obese with Damp diseases, add Bai Zhu, Ban Xia. If mixed with red, add Tiao Qin (Jing Jie/Huang Qin mixture, wine-fried), Jing Jie. For chronic discharge, add Shu Di, Mu Li (Oyster Shell). For Qi deficiency, add Ren Shen, Huang Qi.

Hejian argued: If Damp-Heat does not dissipate, first purge with Shi Zao Tang (Ten-Jujube Decoction), then take Ku Lian Wan (Melia Pill), and leukorrhea ceases. Ku Lian (crushed, wine-soaked), Hui Xiang (fried), Dang Gui equal parts powdered, made into pills with wine paste, size of paulownia seeds. Take 30-50 pills on empty stomach with wine. Better if taken with Da Xuan Hu San.
