产后中风者，由产时伤动血气，劳损脏腑，未曾平复，起早劳动，致使气虚而风邪乘虚入之，客于皮肤经络，致令
痛痹，羸乏不任，少气。大凡筋脉挟寒则挛急 僻，挟湿则纵缓虚弱，若入诸脏，恍惚惊悸，随其所伤脏腑经络而生病
焉。郭稽中论曰∶产后中风者何？答曰∶产后五七日内，强力下床，或一月之内，伤于房室，或怀忧怒，扰荡中和，或
因食生硬，伤动脏腑，得病之初，眼涩口噤，肌肉 搐，渐至腰脊筋急强直者，不可治，此乃人作，非偶尔中风所得也。
薛立斋曰∶前证果外邪所伤，形气不足，病气有余，当补元气为主，稍佐以治病之药。若强力不休，月内入房，属形气
俱不足，当纯补元气，多有复苏者，若误投风药，乃促其危也。
丹溪先生曰∶产后中风，口眼 斜，必用大补气血，然后治痰，当以左右手脉，分其气血多少以治，切不可作中风，
用发表治风之药。

无穴百壮，及服十全大补汤方效。
Postpartum wind-stroke arises from the injury to blood and qi during childbirth, damaging the zang-fu organs. If the body has not yet recovered and one rises early to labor, qi deficiency occurs, allowing wind-pathogen to invade through the deficiency. The pathogen lodges in the skin and meridians, causing pain, bi-syndrome (painful obstruction), emaciation, weakness, inability to bear weight, and shortness of breath. Generally, if tendons and vessels are combined with cold, they become spasmodic and deviated; if combined with dampness, they become flaccid, weak, and deficient. If the pathogen enters the various zang-fu organs, it causes mental confusion, fright, and palpitations, manifesting as diseases corresponding to the injured zang-fu and meridians.
Guo Jizhong discussed: "What is postpartum wind-stroke?" He answered: "Within five to seven days after childbirth, forcing oneself out of bed, or within a month engaging in sexual intercourse, or harboring worry and anger which disturbs the harmonious middle, or eating raw and hard foods that damage the zang-fu organs. At the onset of illness, there is dryness in the eyes, trismus (lockjaw), muscle twitching, gradually progressing to stiffness and rigidity of the waist and spine. This is incurable; it is man-made, not accidental wind-stroke."
Xue Lizhai stated: "If the aforementioned syndrome is caused by external pathogens, with insufficient form and qi but excess pathogenic qi, the primary treatment should be tonifying primordial qi, assisted slightly by herbs treating the disease. If one labors without rest or engages in intercourse within a month, both form and qi are insufficient; pure tonification of primordial qi is required, and many will recover. Misusing wind-dispelling herbs will hasten danger."
Mr. Danxi said: "For postpartum wind-stroke presenting with deviation of the mouth and eye, one must first vigorously tonify blood and qi, then treat phlegm. Treatment should differentiate the abundance or scarcity of blood and qi based on the pulse at the left and right hands. One must not treat it as ordinary wind-stroke using diaphoretic wind-dispelling herbs."
Danggui San (Angelica Decoction)
Treats postpartum wind-stroke with trismus, unconsciousness, foaming at the mouth, and convulsions of the hands and feet.
Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis, remove rhizome) Jing Jie Sui (Herba Schizonepetae, equal parts)
Grind into fine powder. Take 2 qian per dose, decoct with 1 sheng of water and 0.5 sheng of wine until 1 sheng remains, and administer. If trismus prevents opening, pry open gently and administer slowly. Once swallowed, life is saved. Repeated use saves lives with miraculous effect.
Gan Ge Tang (Pueraria Decoction)
Treats postpartum wind-stroke with trismus and inability to speak.
Du Huo (Radix Angelicae Pubescentis, remove rhizome, 2 liang) Gan Ge (Radix Puerariae Lobatae, 1.5 liang) Gan Cao (Radix Glycyrrhizae Uralensis, honey-fried, 0.5 liang) Sheng Jiang (Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens, 1.25 liang)

Treats postpartum wind-stroke with severe trismus, stiff back and waist, and frequent opisthotonos.
Wu Ji Shi (Chicken Droppings, 3 sheng) Da Dou (Sojae Semen, 2 sheng)
First stir-fry soybeans until popping stops, then stir-fry chicken droppings until yellow. Pour 1 sheng of wine over the chicken droppings to extract juice, then pour this juice over the soybeans. Take 1 sheng per dose; taking 4-5 doses is excellent.
Zhuli Yi Wu Yin (Bamboo Juice Single Herb Drink)
Treats postpartum wind-spasm with trismus, cyanotic face, and stiff, extended limbs.
Zhu Li (Bamboo Juice, obtained by heating)
Use 2 sheng, add a few drops of Jiang Zhi (Ginger Juice), divide into 5 doses, and take warm frequently. Miraculous effect.
Da Wu Dou (Large Black Beans)
Treats wind-stroke with stiff back and trismus, or irritability, heaviness of head/face/extremities, itching, and fixed gaze. These are all wind-stroke due to deficiency-cold.
Use 3 sheng of black beans, stir-fry until cooked. While hot, soak in 3 sheng of clear wine. Seal tightly for a long time, remove beans, divide into 3 doses. Cover with clothes to induce sweating; recovery occurs when the body becomes moist. This defends against wind-pathogen and dissipates blood stasis.
Hua Tuo Yu Feng San (Master Hua's Wind-Healing Powder)
Treats postpartum wind-stroke, trismus, convulsions, opisthotonos, syncope due to blood loss, limb stiffness, palpitations, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Jing Jie Sui (Herba Schizonepetae, lightly roasted and powdered)
Take 3 qian per dose, mixed with Dou Lin Jiu (Soybean-Dripping Wine) or Tong Zi Xiao Bian (Child's Urine). For trismus, pry teeth and administer; for gum-lock, instill into nose. Effect is divine. Ancient texts praise this formula highly; also known as Ru Sheng San (Like-Sage Powder), Yi Nian Jin (One-Touch Gold), or Zai Sheng Dan (Rebirth Pill). A woman slept long after childbirth; upon waking, she was dizzy as if drunk and unconscious. Physicians used this medicine plus Jiao Jia San, advising sleep after ingestion and scratching the head with the left hand. It worked exactly as predicted.
Jiao Jia San (Interlaced Decoction)
Treats various postpartum wind-stroke diseases, also treating women with unregulated Ying and Wei, irregular menstruation, abdominal cramping; Qi excess and Blood deficiency forming masses (Jia); suitable for all.
Sheng Di Huang (Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, 1 sheng, crushed for fresh juice; if unavailable, soak in water, crush, and extract) Sheng Jiang (Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens, 12 liang, crushed for fresh juice)
First, stir-fry Sheng Jiang residue with Sheng Di Huang juice; then stir-fry Sheng Di Huang residue with Sheng Jiang juice. Dry slightly, roast, and grind into fine powder. Take 3 qian per dose, taken down with warm wine. Suitable for ordinary abdominal pain; indispensable postpartum.

Treats wind generated from extreme postpartum deficiency.
Ru Xiang (Resina Acaciae Cathartae) Wu Ling Zhi (Faeces Trogopterori) Liu Huang (Sulfur) Xuan Jing Shi (Nephritus, ground extremely fine together) E Jiao (Colla Corii Asini, fried into beads) Juan Bai (Ramulus Serissae) Sang Ji Sheng (Taxilli Caulis et Folium) Chen Pi (Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae, equal parts)
Grind the first four ingredients evenly in silver or ceramic vessel, stir-fry lightly without burning, grind extremely fine again. Add remaining herbs, mix well. Form pills with Sheng Di Huang juice, size of Sophora seeds. Take 20 pills per dose, washed down with Dang Gui Tang (Angelica Decoction).
Wind generated from extreme postpartum deficiency: Women rely primarily on Ying-blood. Excessive bleeding leaves Qi unsupported, causing cyanotic lips, cold flesh, sweating, dizziness, coma, and imminent death. This is wind from extreme deficiency. Emergency administration of Ji Wei Shang Dan is required; using wind-dispelling herbs is an error.
Xue Lizhai stated: "For the aforementioned syndrome belonging to dual deficiency of blood and qi, use Shi Quan Da Bu Tang (Ten Significant Tonifying Decoction); if ineffective, add Fu Zi (Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata) and Gou Teng (Uncariae Ramulus cum Uncis). If Liver channel blood deficiency, use Xiao Yao San (Free and Easy Wanderer Powder) plus Gou Teng. The Classics state: The splendor of the Spleen manifests in the lips; the fluid of the Heart is sweat. If Heart and Spleen are extremely deficient, urgently use Shen Fu Tang (Ginseng and Aconite Decoction) to rescue. A woman suffered the aforementioned syndrome; others used tonics, resulting in cold extremities, spontaneous sweating, diarrhea, borborygmus, and abdominal pain. I diagnosed Yang-Qi deficiency-cold, used Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction) with Jiang (Ginger) and Fu Zi (Prepared Aconite Root) increased to 5 qian each; ineffective. Then used Shen (Ginseng) and Fu Zi (Aconite) at 1 liang each, which was effective. After a while without medication, borborygmus and pain returned. I moxa Guan Yuan (CV4) 100 moxa-cones and administered Shi Quan Da Bu Tang, only then did it work."
