[Yun Qizi] Discussion: Duoming San (Life-Saving Powder) is used to treat postpartum blood dizziness where pathogenic factors invade the Heart Meridian, resulting in disordered speech, forgetfulness, and loss of will.
Ingredients: Myrrha (Myrrha), Dragon's Blood (Sanguis Draconis) (equal parts).
Preparation and Administration: Grind the above ingredients into a fine powder. For postpartum administration, take half a cup of urine from an uncircumcised boy and half a cup of refined wine, boil for one or two boils, mix with two qian of the powder, and administer. After a while, administer again; the lochia will naturally descend.
(Case: A woman suffered from postpartum delirium, appearing as if possessed by spirits, with no effect from various medicines. She was cured using this prescription.)
Another Prescription: Treats postpartum敗血 (retained blood) rushing to the Heart, accompanied by fever, rambling speech, running about restlessly, and a deficient and large pulse.
Ingredients: Dried Lotus Leaf (Nelumbinis Folium), Raw Rehmannia Root (Rehmanniae Radix), Moutan Cortex (Moutan Cortex) (equal parts).
Preparation and Administration: Decoct these three herbs strongly to make a soup, mix in two qian bi of Pteridii Spora (Puhuang), and one dose will settle the condition.
Guo discussed the cause of suddenly seeing ghosts and spirits after childbirth. The answer is: The Heart governs the blood vessels of the body. Childbirth consumes and injures the blood vessels; when Heart Qi is deficient, retained blood accumulates and harasses the Heart upwards. The Heart cannot tolerate this disturbance, leading to inner irritability, restlessness in lying down and rising, sudden visions of ghosts and spirits, and disordered speech. If physicians do not recognize this pattern and mistakenly call it Wind Pathogen, simply administering Tiaojing San (Regulating Menstruation Powder) with a pinch of Gentiana Scabra Root (Gentianae Radix) added per dose will bring peace once sleep is achieved.
Ingredients: Myrrha (Myrrha), Amber (Succinum) (both finely ground), Cinnamon Twig (Cinnamomi Ramulus) (each 1 qian), White Peony Root (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Angelica Sinensis Root (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) (each 1 fen), Musk (Moschus), Asarum Root (Asari Radix) (each 3 fen).
Preparation and Administration: Make into a powder. Take half a qian per dose, mixed with a little ginger juice and warm wine.
[Chanbao] Treats seeing ghosts on the first day after delivery, with disordered speech. Use Suhexiang Wan (Styrax Pill) 1 qian, mixed with urine from an uncircumcised boy for administration; the patient will wake up immediately.
[Yun Qizi] Treats postpartum fever, rambling speech, running about restlessly, and a deficient and large pulse. Use Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) plus Bupleurum Root (Bupleuri Radix). If not cured, add Licorice Root (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Bupleurum Root (Bupleuri Radix), and Raw Rehmannia Root (Rehmanniae Radix) in equal parts, decoct and administer.
[Guangjifang] Treats postpartum blood dizziness, chest oppression with unconsciousness, speaking words of gods and ghosts, rapid breathing almost to the point of death.
Ingredients: White Peony Root (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Licorice Root (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Salvia Root (Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix) (each 1 liang), Juice of Raw Rehmannia Root (Rehmanniae Radix Sucus), Ginger Juice (Zingiberis Recensis Sucus) (each 1 sheng), White Honey (Mel Album) (1 he).
Preparation and Administration: Use 2 sheng of water, first decoct the first three herbs to obtain 8 he of liquid. Add Rehmannia juice, ginger juice, and honey, mix well, and divide into two doses for administration.
[Chanbao] Treats postpartum retained blood and evil qi invading the Heart, such as seeing malevolent entities, mania, and madness. Use 1-2 qian of Cinnabar (Cinnabaris), grind extremely fine, mix with 3-4 tea spoons of milk. Hold a live earthworm with a purple neck in the medicine, wait for the earthworm to roll three times, then remove the earthworm without letting it take out the medicine; only the saliva from the earthworm is desired. Mix this saliva with unfermented wine and the aforementioned milk to make about 7-8 fen zhang, warm in a double boiler, and divide into 2-3 doses during attacks.
Baizi Ren San (Seed of Platycladi Seed Decoction) treats postpartum rambling and confused speech, which is caused by internal deficiency, where retained blood carries pathogenic factors to attack the Heart.
Ingredients: Seed of Platycladi Seed (Platycladi Semen), Polygala Root (Polygalae Radix) (heart removed), Ginseng Root (Ginseng Radix), Mulberry Mistletoe Stem (Taxilli Herba), Saposhnikovia Root (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Amber (Succinum) (ground separately), Fried Angelica Sinensis Root (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Baked Rehmannia Root (Rehmanniae Radix), Licorice Root (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (equal parts).
Preparation and Administration: Make into coarse powder. First, slice one white sheep heart, add 1.5 da zhang of water, decoct until 90% remains, remove the sheep heart, add 5 qian of the herb powder, decoct until 60% remains, strain, and administer at any time.
