Treats barrenness in women due to long-standing coldness of blood and qi, as well as multiple miscarriages. These conditions arise from the deficiency and damage of the Chong Mai (Penetrating Vessel) and Ren Mai (Conception Vessel), with pre-existing diseases harbored within the Bao Gong (Uterus). Menstruation does not cease at the proper time, occurring twice within a month, either early or late, presenting as Beng Zhong (Metrorrhagia/heavy bleeding) or Lou Xia (Leukorrhea/spotting), along with the thirty-six gynecological disorders, Ji Ju Zheng Jia (accumulations and masses), cold pain below the umbilicus, and turbid white urine. All the aforementioned ailments prevent conception, leading to the extinction of descendants. (Formula see previous section.)
Moxibustion Method: For female infertility. Moxa on Ran Gu (KI2) for fifty moxa cones, located one cun directly below the anterior aspect of the medial malleolus.
Another method: For infertility caused by the closure of the Bao Men (Uterine Gate). Moxa on Guan Yuan (CV4) for thirty moxa cones, repeated. For women who fail to carry pregnancies to term, suffer frequent miscarriages, abdominal pain, and vaginal spotting, moxa on Bao Men for fifty moxa cones.

Treats constipation and difficult defecation. This occurs because deficient Blood fails to nourish the Zang-Fu organs, leading to withered and viscous fluids. Several doses will result in recovery. (Formula see Da Fang Ke Xiao Ke Lei category.)
Treats convulsions arising from excessive use of hot/drying tonics in a debilitated state. This is due to insufficient Liver Blood being dried out by the hot/drying agents, causing spasms and twitching. Administration leads to recovery. (Formula see Da Fang Ke Xiao Ke Lei category.)
