产后睡中汗出，醒来即止，犹盗瞰人睡，而谓之盗汗，非汗自至之比。《杂症论》云“自汗阳亏，盗汗阴虚。”
然当归六黄汤又非产后盗汗方也，惟兼气血而调治之，乃为得耳。
止汗散 治产后盗汗。
人参（二钱） 当归（二钱） 熟地（一钱半） 麻黄根（五分） 黄连（五分，酒炒） 浮小麦（一大撮） 枣
（一枚）
又方
牡蛎（ 细末，五分） 小麦面（炒黄，研末）
眉批∶一本牡蛎、小麦炒黄，各五分，空心调服。
歌括∶产后睡中出盗汗，醒后汗止身疲倦。
多因阴虚邪作祟，兼顾气血并收敛。
产后盗汗止汗散，人参当归川黄连。
熟地浮麦麻黄根，或用牡蛎小麦面。
产后烦躁，咽干而渴，兼小便不利，由失血汗多所致，治当助脾益肺，升举气血，则阳升阴降，水入经而为血为
液，谷入胃而气长脉行，自然津液生而便调利矣。若认口渴为火，而用芩、连、栀、柏以降之，认小便不利为水滞，
而用五苓散以通之，皆失治也。必因其劳损而温之益之，因其留滞而濡之行之，则庶几矣。
生津止渴益水饮
人参 麦冬 当归 生地（各三钱） 黄 （一钱） 葛根（一钱） 升麻 炙草（各四分） 茯苓（八分） 五
味子(十五粒)
汗多，加麻黄根一钱，浮小麦一大撮；大便燥，加肉苁蓉一钱五分；渴甚，加生脉散，不可疑而不用。
歌括∶产后口渴咽又干，小便不利是何缘。
失血汗多原致此，助脾益肺效非凡。
生津止渴益水饮，麦冬归 与人参。
生地茯苓五味子，升麻炙草并葛根。
Sweating during sleep after childbirth, which stops upon waking, is like a thief stealing while the person sleeps, hence termed *Dao Han* (Night Sweats), distinct from spontaneous sweating. The *Za Zheng Lun* states: "Spontaneous sweating indicates Yang deficiency; night sweats indicate Yin deficiency."
However, Danggui Liuhuang Tang is not the formula for treating night sweats after childbirth. Only by simultaneously regulating Qi and Blood can one achieve the appropriate treatment.
Zhihan San (Stop-Sweating Powder): Treats night sweats after childbirth.
Renshen (Ginseng Radix) (2 qian) Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) (2 qian) Shudi (Prepared Rehmanniae Radix) (1.5 qian) Mahuang Gen (Ephedrae Herba Cum Radice) (5 fen) Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma) (5 fen, stir-fried with wine) Fuxiaomai (Floating Wheat) (a large handful) Zao (Jujubae Fructus) (1 piece).
Another prescription:
Muli (Ostreae Concha) (finely powdered, 5 fen) Xiaomaimian (Tritici Aestivae Farina) (stir-fried until yellow, powdered).
Marginal note: Another version stir-fries Muli and Xiaomai until yellow, takes 5 fen of each, and mixes with water to take on an empty stomach.
Rhyme: Night sweats occur during sleep after childbirth, stopping upon waking with body fatigue.
This is often due to Yin deficiency allowing pathogenic factors to act; one must simultaneously regulate Qi and Blood and employ astringents.
For postpartum night sweats, use Zhihan San, containing Renshen, Danggui, and Chuan Huanglian.
Shudi, Fuxiaomai, and Mahuang Gen are used, or alternatively Muli and Xiaomaimian.
Restlessness, dry throat, thirst, and difficulty in urination after childbirth are caused by blood loss and excessive sweating. Treatment should assist the Spleen and benefit the Lung, raising Qi and Blood. Thus, Yang rises and Yin descends; water enters the meridians to transform into Blood and fluids; grain enters the Stomach, increasing Gu Qi and promoting pulse circulation. Naturally, fluids are generated and urination becomes smooth. If one mistakes thirst for Fire and uses Huangqin, Huanglian, Zhizi, and Huangbai to drain it; or mistakes difficult urination for Water stagnation and uses Wuling San to promote diuresis, these are all erroneous treatments. One must warm and tonify according to the exhaustion, and moisten and promote movement according to the stagnation. This would be appropriate.
Shengjin Zhike Yishui Yin (Fluid-Generating and Thirst-Relieving Water-Nourishing Drink):
Renshen Maidong Danggui Shengdi (each 3 qian) Huangqi (1 qian) Gegen (1 qian) Shengma Zhigancao (each 4 fen) Fuling (8 fen) Wuweizi (15 grains).
If sweating is excessive, add Mahuang Gen (1 qian) and Fuxiaomai (a large handful); if stool is dry, add Rongzhu (1.5 qian); if thirst is severe, add Shengmai San; do not hesitate to use it.
Rhyme: Postpartum thirst and dry throat, what causes difficult urination?
Blood loss and excessive sweating are the original causes; assisting the Spleen and benefiting the Lung yields extraordinary effects.
Fluid-generating and thirst-relieving Yishui Yin contains Maidong, Danggui, and Renshen.
Shengdi, Fuling, and Wuweizi, along with Shengma, Zhigancao, and Gegen.
