**Tortoise Shell Decoction (Hui Jue Syndrome)**
In cases of Hui Jue syndrome (蛔厥, a condition characterized by cold extremities and vomiting of roundworms), vomiting of roundworms is expected. Currently, the patient is quiet but experiences intermittent irritability. This is not due to Cold in the Zang organs, but rather because the roundworms have moved upward into the Diaphragm, causing irritability; this subsides after a short while. If eating induces vomiting followed by renewed irritability, it is because the roundworms emerge upon smelling food odor, and the person will likely vomit roundworms spontaneously. For Hui Jue syndrome, Wumei Wan (乌梅丸, Mume Pill) is the primary treatment.
[Commentary]
The character "Ci" (此, this) in "This is Cold in the Zang organs" should be "Fei" (非, not). If it were "this," how would one distinguish Cold Jue? It should be corrected.
**Postpartum Condition**
Seven or eight days postpartum, without Taiyang syndrome symptoms, there is hardness and pain in the lower abdomen, indicating that lochia (恶露, postpartum uterine discharge) has not cleared. [Heat is in the interior, congealing in the Bladder.] There is constipation, irritability, and fever. The pulse is slightly solid. With doubled fever, or irritability at Shen hour (15:00–17:00) accompanied by an inability to eat, and delirium upon eating, which resolves at night, Da Cheng Qi Tang (大承气汤, Major Order the Qi Decoction) is appropriate.
[Commentary]
The eight characters "Heat is in the interior, congealing in the Bladder" should be placed after "lochia has not cleared" in the preceding text. There is no rationale for using Da Cheng Qi Tang to purge blood from the Bladder; the position should be shifted. The two characters "Zai Bei" (再倍, doubled) are likely interpolations.
**Postpartum Wind-Stroke with Spasm**
In postpartum wind-stroke with spasm (病痉), there is fever, a bright red face, wheezing, and headache. Zhuye Tang (竹叶汤, Bamboo Leaf Decoction) is the primary treatment.
[Commentary]
After "postpartum wind-stroke," the three characters "with spasm" should be added to align with the formula. Without these three characters, is it appropriate to use Ren Shen (Ginseng) and Fu Zi (Aconite) for wind-stroke with fever? And what is the significance of naming the formula after Zhu Ye (Bamboo Leaf)? Furthermore, the formula contains instructions for using large amounts of Fu Zi for neck stiffness. Since this section presents symptoms without a formula, it is evident that bamboo slips are missing and should be supplemented.
**Women's Diseases**
Women's diseases arise from deficiency, accumulated cold, and qi stagnation, leading to the cessation of menstruation. In some cases, over many years, blood cold accumulates in the Bao Men (uterine gate), damaging meridians with cold. If cold coagulates firmly in the upper body, it causes vomiting of saliva and sputum, eventually developing into Lung Abscess (Fei Yong), resulting in physical wasting. If it knots in the middle, it forms Han Shan (cold hernia) around the navel, or pain in both flanks connected to the Zang organs. If heat knots in the center, pain occurs at the Guan Yuan point; the pulse is rapid without sores, and the skin resembles fish scales. This disease affects men as well, not just women. In the lower body, if menstruation comes excessively before time, cycles become irregular, causing pulling pain in the yin, and coldness in the lower abdomen. Pain may radiate to the waist and spine, extending down to the Qi Chong point, causing urgent pain there, and pain in the knees and shins. Sudden dizziness and vertigo, resembling Jue or Dian syndromes, or feelings of sorrow, grief, excessive crying, and irritability occur. These all fall under Dai Xia (leukorrhea/gynecological disorders), not ghostly influences. Prolonged Dai Xia leads to emaciation, a deficient pulse, and excess cold. The thirty-six gynecological diseases present myriad variations. One must examine the pulse for Yin/Yang, Deficiency/Excess, Taut/String-like, and Tight characteristics, and apply acupuncture and herbs to stabilize critical conditions. Although diseases may appear similar, their pulse origins differ; you must discern and record this, do not dismiss it.
[Commentary]
The character "Lai" (来, come) in "menstruation comes excessively" should be "Wei" (未, not). This section concerns the cessation of menstruation; if it were "comes excessively," it would contradict the preceding text and the subsequent mention of "irregular cycles." It should be corrected. Also, the four characters "These all belong to Dai Xia" should be moved below "not ghostly influences" for logical coherence.
**Zang Anxiety**
For Women's Zang Anxiety (Zang Zao), characterized by a tendency toward sadness and weeping, behavior resembling spirit possession, frequent yawning and stretching, Gan Cao Xiao Mai Da Zao Tang (甘草小麦大枣汤, Licorice, Wheat, and Jujube Decoction) is the primary treatment.
[Commentary]
The rationale for Gan Cao Xiao Mai Da Zao Tang is unclear; there must be textual errors.
**Question on Post-Menopausal Bleeding**
Question: A fifty-year-old woman suffers from bleeding (corrected from diarrhea) for dozens of days without stopping, evening fevers, urgency and fullness in the lower abdomen, palm heat, and dry lips and mouth. What is the cause? The Master said: This disease belongs to Dai Xia. Why? Because she previously had a miscarriage, and blood stasis remains in the lower abdomen. How do we know? The symptom of dry lips and mouth indicates this. Wen Jing Tang (温经汤, Warm the Meridians Decoction) is the primary treatment.
[Commentary]
The character "Li" (利, diarrhea) in "suffers from diarrhea" should be "Xue" (血, blood) for the meaning to make sense. It should be corrected.
**Irregular Menstruation**
For Dai Xia with difficult menstruation, lower abdominal fullness and pain, where menstruation does not return for a month, Tu Gua Gen San (土瓜根散, Trichosanthes Root Powder) is the primary treatment.
[Commentary]
The character "Zai" (再, again/twice) should be "Bu" (不, not). If it were "twice," implying menstruation twice a month, it would contradict the preceding "difficult menstruation." It should be corrected.
**Pulse Diagnosis and Miscarriage**
At the Cun Kou (inch position), the pulse is Xian (Wiry) and Da (Large). Xian indicates reduction (Jian), Da indicates Kong (Hollow). Reduction implies Cold, Kong implies Deficiency. The combination of Cold and Deficiency is named Ge (Leather) pulse. In women, this leads to spontaneous abortion and continuous bleeding (Note: "Xuan Fu Hua Tang is the primary treatment" is considered a textual error here).
[Commentary]
This passage is detailed in *Shanghan Lun · Bian Mai Fa Pian* (Differentiating Pulse Methods); its presence here is a textual error. The phrase "Xuan Fu Hua Tang is the primary treatment" is also certainly misplaced. In spontaneous abortion with continuous bleeding, Qi has sunk; why would one use Xuan Fu Hua (Inula Flower) to direct Qi downward?
**Heat Entering the Blood Chamber**
A woman with wind-stroke for seven or eight days develops alternating chills and fever at regular intervals, coinciding with the sudden cessation of menstruation. This is Heat Entering the Blood Chamber (Re Ru Xue Shi), where blood becomes congealed, causing malaria-like symptoms at regular intervals. Xiao Chai Hu Tang (小柴胡汤, Minor Bupleurum Decoction) is the primary treatment.
[Commentary]
See commentary in *Shanghan Lun · Shao Yang Pian* (Shaoyang Chapter); further explanation is omitted.
**Heat Entering the Blood Chamber during Menses**
A woman with Shanghan (Cold Damage) fever, whose menstruation has just begun, is clear-minded during the day but delirious at night, seeing things as if possessed by ghosts. This is Heat Entering the Blood Chamber. Treatment should avoid violating Stomach Qi and the Upper Two Jiao; it will heal spontaneously.
[Commentary]
See commentary in *Shanghan Lun · Shao Yang Pian*; further explanation is omitted.
**Heat Entering the Blood Chamber with Chest Fullness**
A woman with wind-stroke, fever, and aversion to cold, whose menstruation has just begun, develops symptoms after seven or eight days: fever subsides, pulse becomes slow, body temperature normalizes, but chest fullness resembles Jie Xiong (Chest Binding), accompanied by delirium. This is Heat Entering the Blood Chamber. Acupuncture the Qi Men point to drain excess according to the pattern.
[Commentary]
See commentary in *Shanghan Lun · Shao Yang Pian*; further explanation is omitted.
**Yangming Disease and Heat Entering the Blood Chamber**
In Yangming disease, bleeding and delirium indicate Heat Entering the Blood Chamber. Only head sweating occurs. Acupuncture the Qi Men point to drain excess. General sweating indicates recovery.
[Commentary]
See commentary in *Shanghan Lun · Yang Ming Pian*; further explanation is omitted.
**Yin Blow (Vaginal Flatulence)**
When Stomach Qi leaks downward, causing Yin Chui (flatulence from the vagina) with audible noise, this is due to Excess of Grain Qi. (Note: "Guided by Gao Fa Jian" is considered an interpolation; "Long-term administration of He Li Le Wan" should follow "Excess of Grain Qi".)
[Commentary]
The five characters "Guided by Gao Fa Jian" are interpolations. Below "Excess of Grain Qi," the six characters "Long-term administration of He Li Le Wan" should be inserted. Flatulence from the posterior orifice is called Qi Li, treated with He Li Le San; flatulence from the anterior orifice is called Yin Chui, treated with He Li Le Wan, making the text coherent. He Li Le Wan uses He Li Le (Chebula Fruit) to secure sinking Qi deficiency, and Hou Po (Magnolia Bark) and Chen Pi (Citrus Peel) to regulate Grain Qi excess, matching the pathology. This formula was misplaced in the *Miscellaneous Treatments Chapter*. The formula for pediatric malnutrition with tooth decay, which kills parasites and detoxifies, might belong in a Pediatric Section or Miscellaneous Formulas; listing it at the end of Women's Miscellaneous Diseases is also a textual error.
