In women who have a naturally narrow-minded and jealous disposition, leading to infertility, people may think it is Heaven's displeasure. However, who would know that this is actually due to the stagnation of Liver Qi (Liver Qi Stagnation)? For a woman to conceive, her Heart pulse must be smooth and slippery, her Spleen pulse relaxed and harmonious, and her Kidney pulse vigorous and large, pressing firmly against the fingers; only then can it be called a "pregnancy pulse" (Ximai). There is no case where pregnancy occurs when all three pulses are stagnant. If the three pulses are stagnant, the Liver Qi will inevitably become more stagnant. When Liver Qi stagnates, the Heart and Kidney pulses will inevitably become stagnant and tense, unable to resolve. This is because the fetus and mother are interconnected; stagnation implies lack of joy, while joy implies absence of stagnation. The reason why stagnation prevents conception is that the unrelaxed Wood of the Liver attacks the Earth of the Spleen downwards, causing blockage. Consequently, the Qi in the waist and umbilical region becomes obstructed. When the Qi in the waist and umbilical region is obstructed, it cannot communicate with the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) and Dai Mai (Girdle Vessel), causing the Qi of the Dai Mai to also become blocked. Once the Qi of the Dai Mai is blocked, the gate of the uterus (Bao Tai) must close. Even if sperm reaches the gate, it cannot enter. What should be done? The treatment method must relieve the stagnation of four meridians to open the gate of the uterus, which might then succeed. The formula used is Kaiyu Zhongyu Tang (Open Stagnation and Nourish Jade Decoction).

Baishao (White Peony Root, 1 liang, washed with wine) Xiangfu (Cyperus Rhizome, 3 qian, fried with wine) Danggui (Angelica Sinensis, 5 qian, washed with wine) Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome, 5 qian, stir-fried with earth) Danpi (Moutan Cortex, 3 qian, washed with wine) Fuling (Poria, 3 qian, peeled) Huafen (Trichosanthes Root, 3 qian)

Decoct in water and take orally. After one month of use, the stagnant Qi will dissipate. With the dissipation of stagnation, the abdomen will be filled with joyful Qi, and the jealous mindset can be completely transformed. Naturally, husband and wife will harmonize, and conception will occur almost instantly. The brilliance of this formula lies in resolving Liver Qi stagnation, relieving Spleen Qi constraint, and thereby allowing Heart and Kidney Qi to relax as well. Thus, the waist and umbilical Qi flow freely, and the Ren and Dai meridians connect smoothly. Without needing to forcibly open the uterine gate, the gate opens itself. This is not merely a treatment for jealousy.

Marginal Note: Although this formula seems ordinary, it effectively resolves jealousy and aids conception; it should not be overlooked. If a pregnant woman remains jealous, it will likely cause Blood stagnation and miscarriage. Even if she fortunately does not miscarry, the child may fail to thrive or achieve success later in life. To ensure safety, add Jiedu Yin (Resolve Jealousy Drink) to decoct together. It is essential to change her temperament for efficacy. Jiedu Yin: Setaria italica (Shu), Panicum miliaceum (Ji), and Setaria faberi (Gu) each 90 grains; Triticum aestivum (Mai, raw), and Vigna angularis var. nipponensis (Xiaoheidou, black soybean) each 49 grains (soybeans stir-fried until cooked); Sorghum bicolor (Gaoliang) 55 grains.

Verse:
Women with jealous hearts lack breadth of mind,
Liver stagnation and Spleen blockage are not Heaven's disdain.
Heart, Kidney, Ren, and Dai meridians follow in blockage,
Uterine gate closed, conception becomes difficult.
Kaiyu Zhongyu Tang uses Baizhu, Baishao, and Danpi,
Plus Danggui, Fuling, Xiangfu, and Huafen added.
Take continuously for a month, stagnation fully resolved,
Whether bearing noble sons or orchid-like talents, both are born.
