Danxi stated: This condition is deficient in nature, more so than epilepsy. It arises from wind invasion following sweating due to exertion, internally accompanied by cold-dampness pathogenic factors of the Taiyang (Greater Yang) meridian. The treatment principle is similar to that of the aforementioned conditions; however, one must examine the site of exertion to determine which Zang organ is deficient. For instance, excessive sexual activity leads to Kidney deficiency and sweating, causing the Couli (skin pores) to open. Wind pathogens enter the skin and Couli; upon encountering cold, they become closed, preventing the wind from exiting, where it travels together with fluid retention. The patient will exhibit swelling under the eyes resembling a sleeping silkworm.
Dairen (Zhang Congzheng) stated: The Kidney governs water, and its meridian reaches the area under the eyes. Therefore, failure to restrain sexual desire leads to death, indicating that the deficiency lies in the Kidney. Why is it related to the Taiyang meridian? Because the Taiyang meridian governs cold, and its pathway is the most superficial. When the Couli are exposed to cold, they close, so the Taiyang meridian is the first to be invaded by pathogens. Treatment should utilize Bawu Baizhu San (Eight-Ingredient Atractylodes Macrocephala Powder) or Cangong Danggui Tang (Cangong Angelica Sinensis Decoction). (See previous section.)
Hejian (Liu Wansu) advocated Xiongji Wan (Sichuan Lovage and Magnolia Bark Pill). (Formula not verified.) Zaorao Huatan Wan (Gleditsia Phlegm-Resolving Pill). (Formula see Cough section.)
This disease is mostly caused by wind-cold-dampness pathogens invading when the body is weak, and all treatments should address the Taiyang meridian.
*Huoyou Xinshu* records: Duhuo Fangfeng Tang (Angelica Pubescens and Saposhnikovia Decoction), treating Taiyang invasion with sweating.
Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig) (1 liang) Shaoyao (Peony Root) (3 liang) Gancao (Licorice Root) (0.5 liang) Duhuo (Angelica Pubescens) Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia Root) (each 1 liang).
Crush these finely. Take 1 liang per dose, add 2 zhong of water, decoct until 1 zhong remains, and take warm.
Fangfeng Gegen Tang (Saposhnikovia and Kudzu Root Decoction), treating Taiyang invasion without sweating.
Gegen (Kudzu Root) (4 liang) Mahuang (Ephedra Herb) (3 liang) Shaoyao (Peony Root) Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia Root) (each 2 liang) Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig) (1 liang).
Crush these finely. Use 1 liang per dose. First decoct Mahuang (Ephedra Herb) and remove the foam on the surface, then add the remaining herbs, boil for a few more boils, and take warm.
*Qianjin Fang* records: Zhuli Tang (Bamboo Juice Decoction), treating postpartum wind-stroke with trismus (lockjaw), cyanotic face, and stiffness/spasticity of the limbs.
Use 1 sheng of Bamboo Juice (Zhuli), divide into five doses, take frequently while slightly warm, yielding great efficacy.
This syndrome occurs due to wind invasion in a deficient state, complicated by phlegm turbidity. It is suitable to administer Ren Shen (Ginseng Root) and Bamboo Juice (Zhuli).
*Chanbao* asks: What is the reason for postpartum excessive sweating transforming into Jing illness (spasm)? Answer: Postpartum blood deficiency causes the Couli (skin pores) to be loose. Encountering wind pathogens causes them to bind, thus transforming into Jing illness (spasm). One must quickly pry open the mouth and administer Xiao Xuming Tang (Minor Continuation Life Decoction). If delayed even slightly, sweating will occur like rain, making wiping impossible, rendering it incurable. (Xiao Xuming Tang formula see previous section.)
Juxing Gabai San (Juxing Ancient Worship Powder), treating new postpartum patients with blood deficiency and Jing illness (spasm).
Jingjie Sui (Schizonepeta Spike) as needed, lightly stir-fried on a tile and ground into powder. Dayao Huangjuan (Yellow Soybean Sprout), irrigated with hot wine, remove the sprouts and collect the juice. Mix with 4-5 qian of powder, drink including the dregs, with miraculous effect.
*Qianjin Fang* records: Dayao Zi Tang (Black Soybean Purple Decoction), treating postpartum wind-stroke with opisthotonos (body arched backward like a bow), trismus (lockjaw), and profuse salivation.
Half a sheng of Heidou (Black Soybean), stir-fried until charred black and smoking. Irrigate with 2 sheng of unadulterated wine, place in a porcelain vessel. Each time use 1 zhan, add 5 qian of Duhuo (Angelica Pubescens), decoct until 6-7 parts remain, strain, and take warm.
Note: The three formulas below Xuming Tang are medications for the Taiyang (Greater Yang) and Jueyin (Terminal Yin) meridians. They are indeed suitable for cases with excess pathogens and floating, wiry, forceful pulses. However, for those with severe postpartum Qi and Blood deficiency, one should not lightly induce sweating to release the exterior. Using Fangfeng Danggui San (Saposhnikovia and Angelica Sinensis Powder) is the superior method.
Haicang (representing Zhang Yuansu/Li Dongguan lineage): Fangfeng Danggui San (Saposhnikovia and Angelica Sinensis Powder). (Formula see previous section.)
