(See the formula in the "Similar to Cold Damage" section)
After childbirth, the Qi of the Spleen and Stomach is deficient. It fails to regulate water passages and transport fluids downward to the Bladder, often resulting in scanty and dysuric urine. One must strictly avoid using diuretic methods (promoting urination to leach out dampness). Instead, treatment should focus on tonifying and lifting the Qi. Yi Qi Sheng Mai Tang (Qi-Boosting Pulse-Nourishing Decoction) is extremely effective for this condition.
Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, 2 qian), Huang Qi (Astragali Radix, raw, 2 qian), Wu Wei Zi (Schisandrae Fructus, 9 grains), Mai Dong (Ophiopogonis Tuber, 2 qian), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 3 qian), Fu Ling (Poria, 1 qian), Sheng Ma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma, 4 fen), Ge Gen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix, 1 qian), Gan Cao (Licorice Radix et Rhizoma, roasted, 4 fen).
Take the above herbs, add one and a half zhan of water, decoct until seven parts remain, and take warm.
Ou (vomiting with sound and matter) refers to the simultaneous expulsion of sound and food; Tu (spitting/regurgitation without sound) refers to expelling matter without sound. This arises from deficiency of the Spleen and Stomach, invasion by cold pathogen, or injury from diet, leading to rebellious Qi and inability to retain food. If within seven days postpartum, lochia stasis and pain have not been resolved, An Wei Xing Xue Tang (Stomach-Anchoring Blood-Activating Decoction) is suitable. If the stasis pain has resolved but vomiting persists and food intake is refused, Jia Jian Liu He Tang (Modified Harmonizing Six Decoction) should be taken. After taking the first two formulas, if the Stomach harmonizes and vomiting stops, Bu Zhong Diao Wei Tang (Middle-Tonifying Stomach-Regulating Decoction) should be administered. Only when vomiting is accompanied by hiccupping is it termed "Earth Failure and Wood Invasion" (Spleen-Stomach collapse with Liver overacting), which is generally difficult to treat.

In cases of food stagnation, one must carefully identify the specific ingested item while administering herbs that tonify Qi and Blood, assisting them with digestive-promoting herbs. For grain/starch injury, Shen Qu (Massa Medicata Fermentata) and Gu Ya (Setariae Germinatus Semen) are appropriate; for meat injury, Mai Ya (Hordei Fructus Germinatus) and Shan Zha (Crataegi Fructus) are appropriate; for fruit injury with severe abdominal pain, Wu Zhu Yu (Evodiae Fructus) and Sha Ren (Amomi Fructus) are appropriate. Physicians of the world, upon encountering such conditions, often focus solely on digestion without tonification, thereby further damaging Stomach Qi. When the condition does not improve, they mistakenly attribute it to unresolved original dietary injury and double the dosage of broad-chest and Qi-consuming agents, even causing critical danger by forcing fasting for several days. At this stage, no medicine is available except for decocting Du Shen Tang (Single Ginseng Decoction, 2-3 qian), mixing it with rice pot crust powder, and administering it slowly; perhaps four or five out of ten patients can be saved.
