产后中风，数十日不解。头微痛，恶寒，时时有热，心下闷，干呕，汗出虽多，阳旦证耳。可
与阳旦汤。（即桂枝汤方。见太阳病。）
产后中风，发热面赤，喘而头痛，竹叶汤主之。

大附子半钱，煎药，扬去沫。呕者，加半夏一钱。
〔丹〕产后发热恶寒，皆属血气虚。左手脉不足，补血；右手脉不足，补气。恶寒发热，又腹痛，
当去恶血。恶寒发热，乳汁不通及膨者，无子当消。用麦芽二两，炒，研细，清汤作四服调下；有子

After childbirth, wind-stroke (Zhongfeng) persists for dozens of days without resolution. There is slight headache, aversion to cold, occasional fever, oppression in the epigastrium, dry retching, and profuse sweating; this is merely Yangdan Syndrome (Yangdan Zheng). Yangdan Decoction (Yangdan Tang) may be administered. (This is Guizhi Tang [Cinnamon Twig Decoction], see Taiyang Disease.)
After childbirth, wind-stroke presents with fever, red face, wheezing, and headache. Zhuye Tang (Bamboo Leaf Decoction) is the principal formula.
Zhuye (Bamboo Leaf, one handful), Gegen (Kudzu Root, three liang), Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia Root), Jiegeng (Platycodon Root), Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig), Renshen (Ginseng Root), Gancao (Licorice Root, one liang each), Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root, one piece, processed).
The above herbs are cut into small pieces. Each dose consists of five qian, with one jujube, five slices of ginger, and one and a half sheng of water. Decoct until one sheng remains, strain, and take warm. Cover with blankets to induce sweating. If there is stiffness in the head and neck, use half a qian of large Fuzi (Aconite Root), decoct the medicine, and skim off the foam. If vomiting occurs, add Banxia (Pinellia Tuber) one qian.
[Danxi] Fever and aversion to cold after childbirth all belong to deficiency of blood and qi. If the pulse at the left position is insufficient, tonify blood; if the pulse at the right position is insufficient, tonify qi. If there is aversion to cold, fever, and abdominal pain, it is necessary to eliminate blood stasis. If there is aversion to cold, fever, along with blocked lactation and breast distension, if nursing is not intended, milk production should be suppressed. Use two liang of Maiya (Barley Sprout), stir-fried and ground into fine powder, taken in four doses mixed with clear broth; if nursing is intended, use Mutong (Akebia Stem), Tongcao (Tetrapanax Pith), and pig trotter juice, mixed and decocted for oral administration.
When fever first appears after childbirth, exterior-releasing methods must not be used, nor any bitter-cold medicines. Ganjiang (Dried Ginger Rhizome) must be used to treat it, vigorously dispersing the heat. For mild cases, Fuling (Poria Sclerotium) is used to drain dampness and reduce heat.
[Daquan] In all cases of postpartum fever, headache, and body ache, do not immediately treat it as a common cold. These cases are mostly due to blood deficiency or obstruction by retained blood (stasis). It is appropriate to administer mild and harmonizing formulas, which will certainly be effective. Such as Yulu San (Jade Dew Powder), or Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) added with Beichaihu (Northern Bupleurum Root) in equal proportions, decocted and taken. If Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) or formulas like Zhuyegao Tang (Bamboo Leaf and Gypsum Decoction) are used directly, many cases fail to be cured.
Yulu San (Jade Dew Powder): Treats postpartum blocked lactation, severe body heat and pain, dizziness and headache, and constipation. It cools the diaphragm, clears heat, and promotes lactation.
Renshen (Ginseng Root), Fuling (Poria Sclerotium), Gancao (Licorice Root, half liang each), Kugeng (Fried Platycodon Root), Chuanxiong (Ligusticum Rhizome), Baizhi (Angelica Dahurica Root, one liang each), Danggui (Angelica Sinensis Root, one fen), Shaoyao (Peony Root, three fen).
The above herbs are cut into small pieces. Each dose consists of five qian, with one sheng of water. Decoct until seven-tenths remain, and take warm. If vexation and heat are severe and stool is constipated, add Dahuang (Rhubarb Root) two and a half qian.
