Sweating indicates *Rou Jing* (Soft Spasm); no sweating indicates *Gang Jing* (Stiff Spasm). The syndrome differentiation and treatment are detailed in Volume 5 of *Miscellaneous Diseases*, so they are not repeated here.

For women suffering from *Shanghan* (Cold Damage), the transmission through the Six Channels and its treatment principles are the same as for men. However, when heat enters the Blood Chamber due to menstruation just starting or stopping, or in cases of metrorrhagia and leukorrhea before or after childbirth, the treatment methods differ specifically.

Heat Entering the Blood Chamber:
When a woman suffers from *Fengzhong* (Wind Strike) with fever and aversion to cold, coinciding with the onset of menstruation, and after seven or eight days the fever subsides but the pulse is slow, the body is cool, yet there is fullness and distension in the chest and hypochondrium resembling *Jie Xiong* (Chest Binding), accompanied by delirium, this is Heat Entering the Blood Chamber. One should puncture the *Qimen* (Liv 14) acupoint and apply the reducing method according to the excess condition. (Li Dongyuan stated: hallucinations, hearing voices at night, and dreaming of deceased persons are all caused by excessive Liver Wood affected by pathogenic factors; puncturing *Qimen* shares the same principle.)

Xu Xueshi treated a woman with Heat Entering the Blood Chamber. The physician failed to recognize the syndrome and used blood-nourishing and qi-regulating herbs, leading to Blood Binding in the Chest after several days. Someone suggested using the previous prescription (referring to Xiao Chai Hu Tang). I said, "Using Xiao Chai Hu Tang is now too late and ineffective." If no other option exists, there is one alternative: puncturing the *Qimen* acupoint will suffice. As I am not skilled in acupuncture, I requested a proficient practitioner to treat her, who cured her as advised. Someone asked, "Why does Heat Entering the Blood Chamber lead to Chest Binding?" I replied, "Pathogenic factors enter the meridians and contend with healthy Qi, circulating up and down. If coinciding with menstruation starting or stopping, pathogens enter the Blood Chamber vacuously. The blood is forced by pathogens upward into the Liver Meridian. The Liver receiving pathogens causes delirium and seeing ghosts; if it further enters the *Dan Zhong* (Conception Vessel area), blood binds in the chest. Why? Normally, water nourishes Wood, and blood nourishes the Liver. Before pregnancy, blood descends as menses; during pregnancy, it accumulates in the middle jiao to nourish the fetus; after birth, it rises to become milk. All are this blood. Now, pathogens and stagnant blood converge in the Liver Meridian, gathering at *Dan Zhong* and binding below the breasts, causing pain upon touch. This is beyond the reach of decoctions, hence puncturing *Qimen* is required."

When a woman suffers from *Shanghan* with fever coinciding with menstruation, being lucid during the day but delirious at night as if seeing ghosts, this is Heat Entering the Blood Chamber. Do not violate the Stomach Qi or the Upper Two Jiaos; the disease will heal itself. (*Huo Ren Shu* states: Use Xiao Chai Hu Tang to harmonize. ○ 'Violating Stomach Qi' refers to purgation; 'violating Upper Two Jiaos' refers to diaphoresis.)

*Yan Yi* records: A woman suffered from Warm Disease for twelve days. Her pulse was rapid (6-7 beats per respiration) and choppy, with the Cun position slightly large and Chi position slightly small. She had alternating chills and fever, flushed cheeks, dry mouth, discomfort, and deafness. It was learned that menstruation started only after several days of illness. This belongs to Shaoyang Heat Entering the Blood Chamber. Incorrect treatment would be fatal. Based on the syndrome, Xiao Chai Hu Tang was administered for two days, followed by Xiao Chai Hu Tang plus Guizhi and Ganjiang. After one day, chills and fever ceased. The patient reported urgency and pain below the umbilicus, so Didang Wan was given, resulting in mild bowel movement and relief of pain. The body cooled, and the pulse became regular, though she remained uncomfortable. Xiao Chai Hu Tang was given again. The next day, she complained of internal heat and dryness in the chest, mouth, and nose. A small dose of Tiaowei Chengqi Tang was given but failed to induce bowel movement. The next day, epigastric pain occurred, so Daxiexiong Wan was given. Half a dose resulted in three bowel movements. The next day, she exhibited empty irritability, occasional hallucinations, and delirium. Although dry feces were suspected, her extreme deficiency precluded aggressive purgation. Zhuye Tang was given to relieve irritability and heat. That night, spontaneous bowel movement occurred. By morning, two bowel movements contained several pieces of dry feces, and delirium and irritability resolved. Only coughing with sputum remained, indicating Lung deficiency. Fearful of developing Lung Abscess due to deficiency, Xiao Chai Hu Tang was modified by removing Renshen, Dazao, and Shengjiang, adding Ganjiang and Wuweizi. Cough decreased after one day, and the disease resolved after two days. All above prescriptions are from Zhang Zhongjing.

When a woman suffers from *Fengzhong* for seven or eight days, subsequently experiencing alternating chills and fever at specific times, coinciding with the cessation of menstruation, this is Heat Entering the Blood Chamber. The blood must be bound, hence symptoms resemble malaria with periodic occurrence. Xiao Chai Hu Tang is the primary formula.

Appendix:
Yun Qizi stated: The treatment of *Shanghan* and *Fengzhong* in women is identical to men, except for Heat Entering the Blood Chamber and *Shanghan* during pregnancy. One should use Siwu Tang to nourish fetal blood, assisted by diaphoretic or purgative herbs. For women with *Shanghan* or *Fengzhong* presenting with spontaneous sweating, headache, stiffness of the neck and back, fever, aversion to cold, and floating-slow pulse, suspecting Heat Entering the Blood Chamber, Shaoyao should be doubled.

Guizhi Jia Shaoyao Tang:
Guizhi (1.5 liang), Chi Shaoyao (3.5 liang), Shengjiang (sliced, 1.5 liang), Zhi Gancao (1 liang), Dazao (6 pieces, split). Coarsely crush, take 5 qian per dose, decoct in water.

For women with *Shanghan* presenting with floating-tight pulse, headache, fever, aversion to cold, and anhidrosis, after diaphoresis, to prevent Heat Entering the Blood Chamber, use Mahuang Jia Shengdihuang Tang.
Mahuang (2.5 liang), Guizhi (1.5 liang), Zhi Gancao (0.5 liang), Shengdihuang (2 liang), Xingren (25 pieces, peeled and de-seeded). Crush, take 5 qian per dose, decoct in water.

*Huo Ren Shu*: For women with *Shanghan* where menstruation has just stopped, presenting with alternating chills and fever like malaria, delirium, and hallucinations, use Ganjiang Chaihu Tang.
Chaihu (4 liang), Gualougen, Guizhi (each 1.5 liang), Muli, Ganjiang, Zhi Gancao (each 1 liang). Crush, take 5 qian per dose, decoct in 1.5 sheng water until 0.7 sheng remains, strain, and take warm. Mild irritability may occur after the first dose; sweating and recovery follow the second dose.

Luo Zhiti: Xiao Chai Hu Jia Dihuang Tang. Treats women and young girls with *Shanghan* fever, menstruation starting or stopping, lucid by day, delirious by night as if seeing ghosts/spirits. Also treats postpartum lochia that starts and suddenly stops, causing near-death state.
Chaihu (1.25 liang), Renshen, Huangqin, Zhi Gancao, Banxia (washed in hot water 7 times), Shengdihuang (each 7 qian). Make coarse powder, take 5 qian per dose with 3 slices of Shengjiang and 2 dates, decoct in water.

Yun Qizi: For women with *Shanghan* presenting with fever, long-string-like pulse, belonging to Yangming/Shaoyang alternating chills and fever, nighttime restlessness with daytime calm, hallucinations, and stopped menstruation, indicating Heat Entering the Blood Chamber without fullness/excess, use Xiao Chai Hu Jia Mudanpi Tang. For severe fullness/excess, use Taoren Chengqi Tang to purge.

Xiao Chai Hu Jia Mudanpi Tang Formula:
Chaihu, Renshen, Mudanpi (each 2 liang), Zhi Gancao, Shengjiang (each 0.75 liang), Banxia (washed in hot water, 0.6 liang), Dazao (3 pieces, split), Huangqin (0.75 liang). Coarsely crush, take 1 liang per dose, decoct in water.

For women with *Shanghan* presenting with headache and floating pulse, if the physician erroneously uses purgation, pathogens enter the interior vacuously, menstruation stops, epigastric hardness/fullness occurs, mouth and tongue become dry, with alternating chills/fever and delirium/hallucinations, and deep-rapid pulse, purgation is indicated. Use Xiao Chai Hu Jia Mangxiao Dahuang Tang.
Chaihu (2 liang), Zhi Banxia (1.5 liang), Huangqin, Shengjiang (each 0.75 liang), Dahuang, Mangxiao (each 0.7 liang), Zhi Gancao (0.55 liang), Dazao (3 pieces, split). Coarsely crush, take 1 liang per dose, decoct in water, strain, add Mangxiao, boil again, and take warm. Do not purge if the pulse is not deep-rapid.

Xu Shimicro: In the Xinhai year, residing in Piling, the sister of Wang Zhongli, an educational official, suffered from *Shanghan* with alternating chills and fever. At night, she seemed possessed by spirits. After six or seven days, she suddenly became comatose with rattling phlegm, locked jaw, closed eyes, and unconsciousness, in critical condition. Upon examination, I asked if menstruation had occurred at onset. Family replied menstruation started then stopped with illness. Chills/fever started after 1-2 days; quiet by day, haunted by spirits by night. Phlegm increased yesterday, leading to unconsciousness. I diagnosed Heat Entering the Blood Chamber. Citing Zhang Zhongjing: "Women with Fengzhong, fever/aversion to cold, menstruation starting, lucid by day, delirious by night... named Heat Entering Blood Chamber." Physicians wrongly used harsh/dry herbs, causing chest/pharynx obstruction, phlegm flooding upper jiao, panting, high breathing, coma. Treatment should first resolve phlegm, then clear heat. I urgently administered Yi Xi San. After two hours, phlegm drained, she slept and regained consciousness. Then, Xiaochaihu Jia Dihuang Tang was given for three doses, resolving fever without sweating.

Yun Qizi: For women with *Shanghan*, exterior deficiency with spontaneous sweating, cool body, limb stiffness, deep-slow pulse, Taiyang marked disease, Shaoyang root disease, and stopped menstruation, use Guizhi Jia Fuzi Honghua Tang.
Guizhi (2.5 liang), Shaoyao, Shengjiang (each 1.5 liang), Zhi Gancao (1 liang), Pao Fuzi, Honghua (each 0.5 liang). Coarsely crush, take 1 liang per dose, decoct in 3 sheng water.

For women with *Shanghan*, Taiyang marked disease, after sweating resolves exterior, internal pathogenic heat enters Blood Chamber, excessive menstruation without fullness/excess, use Gancao Shaoyao Tang.
Gancao, Shaoyao, Shengdihuang, Chuanxiong (each 1 liang). Crush, take 1 liang per dose, decoct in 3 sheng water until 1.5 sheng remains, strain, add 5 qian of hair ash, mix well, take warm. If bleeding persists, puncture Yinbai (SP 1).

Pregnancy Shanghan:
Wu Kun: All Six Channel treatments for *Shanghan* during pregnancy are the same, but fetal protection is paramount. Herbs damaging the fetus must be avoided. Examples include Huoxiang Zhengqi San, Shiwei Xiongsu San, Shen Su Yin, Xiao Chai Hu Tang, which contain Banxia that can harm the fetus. If Banxia is necessary, remove it. For excessive phlegm/vomiting, use Banxia Qu (fermented Banxia). Alternatively, soak Banxia in boiling water 7 times, peel, remove navel, and dry with fresh Shengjiang juice. Herbs like Chuanwu, Fuzi, Tianxiong, Cezi, Rougui, Ganjiang, Dahuang, Mangxiao, Yuanhua, Gansui, Daji, Shuqi, Shuizhi, Mengchong, Taoren, Mudanpi, Ganqi, Daizheshi, Qumai, Niuxi, etc., are uterine-moving drugs and require careful consideration. See individual sections for details. To protect the fetus in severe *Shanghan* heat, apply mud from the bottom of a well to the umbilicus (2 cun), reapplying when dry. Alternatively, use Baizaizi powder mixed with water, or Fulonggan powder mixed with water, applied to the umbilicus. Generally, add Huangqin and Baizhu to decoctions for pregnant women to secure the fetus. These can be decocted separately or taken as powder with warm water (2-3 qian). For weak constitutions, add Siwu Tang. Using Xiao Chai Hu Tang minus Banxia, plus Baizhu and Siwu Tang, effectively protects the fetus and clears heat. Other formulas should follow this principle.

Li Gao, Zhu Zhenheng: Jiemi Tang. Treats pregnant women with Wind Strike and spontaneous sweating.
Renshen, Huangqi, Danggui, Chuanxiong, Zhi Gancao (each 5 qian), Shaoyao (6 qian). Cangzhu and Shengdihuang may be added. Make coarse powder, take 5 qian per dose, decoct in water, take warm anytime.

For pregnant women with *Shanghan*, limb stiffness, cool body, slight sweat, abdominal pain, deep-slow pulse (Shaoyin disease), use Fuzi Liuhe Tang.
Siwu Tang (4 liang), Pao Fuzi (peeled, sliced), Rougui (each 5 qian).

For pregnant women with *Shanghan* and Blood Stasis, do not use abortifacients. Use Siwu Dahuang Tang to purge.
Siwu Tang (4 liang), Shengdihuang, Dahuang (wine-soaked, each 5 qian).

Danxi: For pregnant women with Blood Stasis, do not recklessly use Didang or Taoren formulas; ensure mother and child remain unharmed. Divide Dahuang and Siwu Tang equally.

*Huo Ren Shu*: To protect the fetus in pregnant women with *Shanghan*, use Ejiao San.
Renshen, Baifuling, Chao Ejiao, Sangjisheng, Baizhu (equal parts). Grind to fine powder, take 2 qian with glutinous rice water, twice daily.

To protect the fetus in pregnant women with *Shanghan*, use Baizhu San.

Decoct until 0.7 remains, strain, take warm. Take 2-3 doses at first sign of headache/fever for quick recovery. Do not use if limbs are cold or Yin syndrome signs appear.

To induce sweating for pregnant women with *Shanghan* presenting with aversion to cold and fever, use Congbai Tang.
Congbai (10 stems), Shengjiang (sliced, 2 liang). Coarsely crush, decoct in 2 sheng water until 1 sheng remains. Take continuously to induce sweating.

Haizang: Congbai Yiwu Tang. Boil 2 bunches of Congbai in 1 sheng water until reduced to juice. Drink completely to safely deliver the fetus. If the fetus is damaged, it will be expelled quickly.

Guidelines for Medication in Pregnant Women with *Shanghan*:
For fever/aversion to cold, use Guizhi/Shaoyao; for alternating chills/fever, use Chaihu/Qianhu; for intense thirst, use Zhimu/Shigao/Wuweizi/Maidong; for diarrhea, use Guizhi/Fuzi/Ganjiang/Baizhu; for constipation, use Dahuang/Huangqin; for menstruation starting/stopping, use Xiao Chai Hu Tang; for fetal insecurity, use Renshen/Ejiao/Baizhu/Huangqin; for diaphoresis, use Chao Doujiang/Shengjiang/Mahuang/Xuanfu; for headache, use Shigao/Zhizi/Qianhu; for summerheat headache, use Chaihu/Gancao/Shigao; for fullness/stuffiness, use Zhishi/Chenpi; for fetal insecurity, use Huangqin/Maidong/Renshen; for black spots/rash, use Huangqin/Zhizi/Shengma.

Dai Yuanli: To protect the fetus in pregnant women with seasonal diseases and high fever, preventing miscarriage:
Grind Fulonggan to fine powder, mix with water, apply to 3 cun below umbilicus. Change when dry, stop when healed.

Another formula: Apply well-bottom mud, change when dry. (From *Ben Shi Fang*, effective).

Another formula: Pingtong, Lan Gen, Poxiao, Ge Fen, Wei Chao Dahuang. Make powder, mix with water, apply to umbilicus. Excellent for protecting fetus and clearing heat.

Another formula: Baizaizi powder, mix with water, apply to abdomen.

Two formulas for Pregnancy Huoluan (attached to Shaoyin Vomiting/Diarrhea section):

For pregnant women with rash turning black, use Zhizi Daqing Tang.
Huangqin, Shengma, Zhiren (each 2 liang), Daqing, Xingren (each 0.5 liang). Crush, take 5 qian per dose with 1.5 sheng water, 3 cun sliced Congbai. Decoct until 1 sheng remains, strain, take warm.

Postpartum Shanghan:
Wu Kun: New mothers with *Shanghan* should not be lightly induced to sweat. Fever may arise from labor injury, excessive blood loss, retained lochia, lactation fever (day 3), early exertion, or food stagnation—all mimicking *Shanghan*. Careful differentiation is crucial; do not rush diaphoresis. Postpartum blood deficiency makes sweating dangerous, potentially causing muscle twitching, depression/coma, convulsions, or constipation. Be precise. For any fever, start with Siwu Tang, using Chuanxiong and Danggui as chief herbs, abundant Shaoyao, and wine-steamed Shudihuang as assistant. For fever, add soft-stemmed Chaihu, Renshen, Ganjiang. Ganjiang's pungent-warm nature guides blood/qi herbs to their respective domains, removes stasis, nourishes new blood, follows the principle of Yang generating Yin, and treats heat with heat, aligning with *Neijing*. I have used this successfully. If lochia is incomplete, combine with Yimu Wan or Heishen San. For weak stomach/poor appetite, add Baizhu/Fuling. For phlegm/vomiting, add Chenpi/Banxia. Other Six Channel treatments are similar, but always base them on Siwu Tang to nourish blood as the root.

Postpartum *Fengzhong* lasting dozens of days, mild headache, aversion to cold, intermittent heat, epigastric stuffiness, dry vomiting, profuse sweating, Yang Dan syndrome: Administer Yang Dan Tang (i.e., Guizhi Tang, see Taiyang Disease).

Postpartum *Fengzhong* with fever, red face, panting, headache: Zhuye Tang is primary.
Zhuye (1 bundle), Gegen (3 liang), Fangfeng, Jiegeng, Guizhi, Renshen, Zhi Gancao (each 1 liang). Crush, take 5 qian per dose with 1 date, 5 slices Shengjiang, 1.5 sheng water. Decoct until 1 sheng remains, strain, take warm, cover to induce sweat. For neck stiffness, add 0.5 qian Da Fuzi, boil medicine, skim foam. For vomiting, add 1 qian Banxia.

Danxi: Postpartum fever/aversion to cold belong to Qi/Blood deficiency. Deficient left pulse requires blood tonification; deficient right pulse requires Qi tonification. For chills/fever with abdominal pain, remove blood stasis. For chills/fever with blocked lactation or abdominal distension without conception, use Maiya (2 liang, fried, ground, taken in 4 doses with clear soup). For those with conception needing expulsion, use Mutong, Tongcao, pig trotter juice.

For postpartum fever, do not use diaphoretics or bitter-cold herbs. Must use Ganjiang to vigorously clear heat. For mild heat, use Fuling to leach out heat via urination.

Dai Yuanli: Postpartum fever, headache, body pain should not be treated as common cold. Often due to blood deficiency or blood stasis obstruction. Use mild formulas like Yulu San or Siwu Tang plus Bei Chaihu in equal parts. Many fail when treated solely with Xiao Chai Hu Tang or Zhuye Shigao Tang.

Yulu San: Treats postpartum blocked lactation, high fever, pain, dizziness, constipation. Clears heat, promotes lactation.
Renshen, Fuling, Gancao (each 0.5 liang), Chao Kugeng, Chuanxiong, Baizhi (each 1 liang), Danggui (2.5 qian), Shaoyao (7.5 qian). Crush, take 5 qian per dose, decoct in 1 sheng water until 0.7 remains, take warm. For severe irritability/constipation, add 2.5 qian Dahuang.
