〔丹〕秦桂丸论 无子之因，多起于妇人，医者不求其因起于何处，遍阅古方，惟秦桂丸其辞确，
其意专，用温热药近乎人情，欣然授之，锐然服之，甘受燔灼之祸，犹懵然不悔。何者？阳精之施，
阴血能摄之，精成其子，血成其胞，胎孕乃成。今妇人之无子者，率由血少不足以摄精也。血之少
也，固非一端。然欲得子者，必须调补阴血，使无亏欠，乃可推其有余，以成胎孕。何乃轻用热剂，
煎熬脏腑，血气沸腾，祸不旋踵矣。或
曰∶春气温和，则万物发生，冬气寒凛，则万物消陨。非秦桂丸之温热，何以得子脏温暖而成胎耶？
予曰∶诗曰∶妇人和平，则乐有子。和则血气均平，则阴阳不争，今得此药，经血必转紫黑，渐成衰少，
或先或后，始则饮食骤进，久则口苦而干，阴阳不平，血气不和，疾病蜂起，焉能成胎。纵然成胎，
生子亦多病而不寿，以秦桂丸耗损天真之阴也，戒之慎之。（按秦桂丸施于肥人，而少其丸数，兼服
调理补药，亦无妨。但忌施于瘦人火多者也。）

[Danxi] Leukorrhea during pregnancy.
Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma, 3 qian) Baizhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, 2 qian) Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma, stir-fried, 1.5 qian) Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, stir-fried, 2 qian) Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex, stir-fried, 1.5 qian) Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, 2.5 qian)
Chugenpi (Stemonae Radix Cortex, stir-fried, 1.5 qian) Shanzhuyu (Corni Fructus, 2.5 qian)
The above herbs are ground into fine powder, made into pills with paste, taken on an empty stomach, and swallowed with fifty pills using warm wine.
The principle of treating conditions before delivery begins with seeking conception. The method for seeking conception prioritizes regulating the menstruation. It is often observed that women who cannot conceive invariably have irregular menstruation, either advancing or delaying, with scanty or excessive flow,
pain before or after menstruation, purple, black, pale, or coagulated and irregular blood. Irregular menstruation leads to disharmony between Blood and Qi, preventing conception. Examining the causes of irregularity: those advancing, delaying, or painful after menstruation indicate Deficiency. Those with scanty and pale flow indicate Blood Deficiency. Excessive flow indicates Qi Deficiency. Pain before menstruation and un-dispersed clots indicate Stagnation. Purple-black color indicates Stagnation with Heat. Treatment methods: For Blood Deficiency, use Siwu Tang; for Qi Deficiency, Siwu Tang plus Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) and Huangqi (Astragali Radix); for Stagnation, use Xiangfu (Cyperi Rhizoma), Suosha (Amomi Fructus Rotundus), Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix), Binglang (Arecae Semen), Taoren (Persicae Semen), and Yuanhusuo (Corydalis Rhizoma); for chronic and entrenched Stagnation, use emetic and purgative methods; for patterns with Heat indicated by pulse and symptoms, use Siwu Tang plus Huangqin and Huanglian; for patterns with Cold indicated by pulse and symptoms, use Siwu Tang plus Rougui (Cinnamomi Cortex) and Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) and Zishiyingsu (Hematitum). Only when stagnation is resolved, Qi moves freely, and Deficiency is restored, will Blood and Qi be in harmony, allowing conception. When I treat irregular menstruation,
I often use only Xiangfu powder made into pills with vinegar, which proves effective almost every time.
[Danxi] Obese women often cannot conceive because phlegm-dampness (lipid membranes) blocks the Uterus, causing amenorrhea. Emaciated women cannot conceive
because the Uterus lacks Blood, and Essence and Qi do not gather. Obese individuals infertile should first take regulating medicines.

Grind the above into powder, make pills with refined honey, size of small beans. Take five pills per dose on an empty stomach with wine, increasing to ten pills is acceptable. Once pregnancy is felt, stop taking it after three months.
Avoid beef and horse meat. This prevents difficult labor at term.
Note: This formula is Qingu Wan. Danxi advised against it, likely cautioning its use in emaciated individuals lacking Blood. For obese individuals with dampness, combined with the preceding regulating medicine, reducing the pill count by nine-tenths, taking only a small amount (five fen) is acceptable. These three formulas were obtained from Danxi's son Zhu Maocheng and have proven effective repeatedly.

The above twenty-six ingredients are ground to extremely fine powder, made into pills with refined honey, size of paulownia seeds. Take twenty pills per dose, with wine or rice drink, on an empty stomach, before meals, twice daily.
[Zihe] Dairen passed through the Qiao military camp drinking. A soldier mentioned divorcing his wife. Dairen asked why. He replied: "When my wife was a maiden, she had cold accumulation under the heart like an inverted basin,
making a sloshing sound when pressed, feeling like ice when warmed by hot hands. We have been married fifteen years; I fear it will cut off my lineage, so I divorced her." Dairen said: "Do not divorce her. If you use my medicine,
the disease can be removed, and pregnancy achieved." The soldier agreed. Dairen palpated the Cun pulse as deep and slow, the Chi pulse as full and forceful, indicating this was not a case of infertility; pregnancy could occur within a year. Her husband
sighed and said: "Let us try." First, administer Sansheng San to induce vomiting of one dou of saliva/phlegm, until the area under the heart became soft; then administer Baizhu Tiaozhong Tang and Wuling San; finally harmonize with Siwu Tang. Within a month, Qi and Blood were balanced, and she conceived a son after several months. Dairen often said: "Using my method, there are no women who cannot conceive," and this statement is not false. A woman aged thirty-four dreamed of intercourse with spirits, experiencing extreme fear,
and visions of spirit halls, underworld offices, boats, and bridges, for fifteen years, without conceiving. She consulted shamans and priests extensively, drilling skin and moxing flesh, thousands of acupoints. She was sallow, feverish, thirsty, with abdominal fullness and swollen legs, resigning herself to fate. One day she bitterly requested Dairen. Dairen said: "Yang Fire is excessive above, Yin Water is excessive below. Seeing spirits is the manifestation of Yin. Spirit halls are Yin residences. Boats and bridges relate to water. Both Cun pulses are deep and hidden, indicating Phlegm-Excess in the Chest. Perform three rounds of emesis, three rounds of purgation, and three rounds of sweating. Within ten days, the dreams ceased, and she conceived within a month."
[Tai Ping Hui Min He Ji Ju Fang] Dangbao Tang Treats women who have never borne children since birth, or have been sterile for twenty to thirty years.
Piaoxiao (Natrii Sulfas) Danpi (Moutan Cortex) Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, steamed for one meal duration) Taoren (Persicae Semen, each 3 liang) Xixin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma) Houpo (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex) Kujie (Platycodonis Radix) Chishao (Paeoniae Radix Rubra) Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma)

each ten pieces)
Cut the above ingredients. Take four qian per dose, with half cup water and half cup wine, decoct to six-tenths, strain, and take warm on an empty stomach, three times daily and once at night. Cover warmly to induce slight sweating. Expelled material will include accumulated blood and cold red pus resembling mung bean juice. Adjust dosage until fully expelled. If the patient is weak and unable to tolerate, stop after one or two doses. However, fearing incomplete expulsion of pathogenic factors and insufficient medicinal effect,
complete the course if possible; otherwise, use Sitao Yao (Vaginal Suppository Medicine).
Sitao Yao Treats complete infertility and cessation of menstruation. After taking Dangbao Tang, if pathogenic matter is not fully expelled, use this formula.
Zaojiao (Gleditsiae Sinensis Spina, skin and seeds removed) Wuzhuyu (Evodiae Fructus) Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, each 2 liang) Xixin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma, weeds removed) Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus) Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, processed. each 2 liang) Huang Kui Hua (Malvae Rosae Flower)
Baifan (Alumen, calcined) Rongyan (Halitum) Shuzhao (Zanthoxyli Fructus, each half liang)
Grind into fine powder. Place in a silk bag the size of a finger, over three inches long, fill with medicine, tie securely, and insert into the vagina. Sit or lie as desired, avoid walking. Remove during urination and reinsert. Replace with a new one once daily. Clear yellow cold discharge will ensue; stop when discharge ceases. If no pathology is expelled, may leave in place for ten days. This is due to cold pathogenic matter in the Uterus
causing infertility. In cold weather, pain occurs. Must wait until all pathology is expelled before stopping; do not interrupt. Daily morning and evening, fumigate with Cong Cai (Allium fistulosum) decoction.
[Danxi] Discussion on Qingu Wan Causes of infertility often originate in women. Physicians fail to investigate the root cause, instead consulting ancient formulas. Only Qingu Wan has precise wording
and focused intent. Using warming herbs appeals to human desire, so patients gladly accept and eagerly take them, enduring burning harm, yet remaining ignorant and unrepentant. Why? Yang Essence is applied,
Yin Blood captures it. Essence forms the fetus, Blood forms the sac, thus conception occurs. Now, women infertile mostly suffer from insufficient Blood to capture Essence. Scarcity of Blood
has various causes. To conceive, one must regulate and tonify Yin Blood, ensuring no deficiency, thereby utilizing surplus to form the fetus. Why use heat-inducing agents recklessly,
scorching Zang-Fu organs, boiling Blood and Qi, bringing immediate disaster? Some
say: Spring warmth allows all things to grow; Winter cold causes all things to wither. Without the warmth of Qingu Wan, how can the Zi Zang (Uterus) become warm to conceive?
I say: The Book of Songs states: "When a woman is harmonious, she joyfully bears children." Harmony means balanced Blood and Qi, non-conflicting Yin and Yang. With this medicine, menstrual blood turns purple-black, gradually becoming scanty,
either early or late. Initially, appetite increases rapidly; later, bitter taste and dry mouth appear. Yin and Yang become imbalanced, Blood and Qi disharmonious, diseases arise frequently, how can conception occur? Even if conception occurs,
the child will likely be sickly and short-lived, as Qingu Wan depletes the True Yin. Beware and be cautious. (Note: Qingu Wan applied to obese individuals, with reduced dosage, combined with
regulating tonics, is acceptable. But contraindicated for emaciated individuals with excess Fire.)
[Su Wen] Disease of the Du Mai (Governor Vessel) causes female infertility.
[Shi Yi] Treating male infertility. Use a ball of warm mugwort, fill the navel with salt, then place moxa cones on the salt according to the salt's size. If painful, replace the salt.
Moxibustion continues until the moxa is exhausted. If not finished in one day, continue on the second or third day. Proven effective.
[Dong Yuan] Female infertility: Baomen (One cun to the left of Guanyuan, moxibustion 50 zhuang.) Another method: Qimen (Three cun lateral to Guanyuan, moxibustion 50 zhuang.)
[Ji Cheng] Another method: Zigong (Three cun lateral to Zhongji, needle insertion two cun, moxibustion 21 zhuang) Zhongji
[Yuan] Another method: Guanyuan (20 zhuang, Sanbao point.)
[Jia Yi Jing] Infertility, moxibustion at Qizhong (CV10), promotes fertility. Women with limb spasms, abdominal fullness, hernia, amenorrhea, breast disorders, infertility, vaginal itching,
Yinjiao (KI10) governs these. Abdominal fullness, hernia, masses, other disorders, infertility, vaginal itching, puncture Shimen (CV5). [Qian Jin] says: Ben Tun (Rushing Pig) ascending, lower abdominal hardness and pain, radiating to genitals, inability to urinate. Female infertility, blood stasis retained internally not descending, Guanyuan (CV4) governs. [Qian Jin] says: Reversed bladder unable to urinate, lower abdominal fullness named Shui Tong (Stone Water Pain).
Women with misaligned Zi Men (vaginal opening), suffering cold in lower abdomen, vaginal itching and pain, amenorrhea, Zhongji (CV3) governs. Female infertility, Yongquan (KI1) governs. Large hernia causing infertility, Zhubin (KI5) governs. Infertility, Shangqiu (SP5) governs. (Point located in the depression anterior to the medial malleolus.) Female sterility, whether nulliparous or parous, Yinlian (LR11) governs. (Insert needle half cun, moxibustion one cun below.)
[Zhong Jing] Male pulse floating, weak, and choppy indicates infertility, clear and cold Essence and Qi.
[Mai Jing] Women with cold lower abdomen and prolonged aversion to cold: if young, this indicates infertility. If older, this indicates sterility. Pulse faint, weak, and choppy: if young, infertility; if middle-aged, sterility. Obese women with thin pulse, Cold in the Bao Mai (Uterus), thus few children. Yellow complexion indicates Cold in the Upper Jiao. Shaoyin pulse floating and tight: tight indicates Hernia/Mass, abdominal pain, miscarriage injury; floating indicates Blood loss, sterility, aversion to cold.
