This formula promotes blood circulation, tonifies Qi, and simultaneously resolves phlegm; thus, menstruation will naturally flow without obstruction.

Si Wu Tang (Four-Substance Decoction) with added Xiang Fu (Rhizoma Cyperi) and Huang Lian (Rhizoma Coptidis). Huang Lian clears heat from the blood, while Xiang Fu unblocks the Jueyin meridian. The combination is neither cooling nor drying, which is most appropriate.

Gui Ban (Tartar Testudinis, calcined) 4 liang, Shaoyao (Radix Paeoniae Alba, stir-fried with wine) [amount unspecified], Huang Bo (Cortex Phellodendri, stir-fried with wine) 3 liang, Huang Qin (Radix Scutellariae, stir-fried) 2 liang, Xiang Fu (Rhizoma Cyperi, stir-fried with child's urine and wine), Chu Pi (Cortex Ailanthi, stir-fried) 1.5 qian. Form into pills with wine.
Long-term consumption of Gui Ban, Huang Bo, and Huang Qin can lead to sterility; such formulas must absolutely not be used.

Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Boost Qi Decoction) with added Bai Shao (Radix Paeoniae Alba), Hei Zhi Zi (Fructus Gardeniae, charred), three slices of fresh ginger, and three jujubes for decoction.
It raises Yang and reduces fever, harmonizes Qi and Blood, and therefore can also treat Beng Lou (metrorrhagia and metrostaxis).

Zong Lu (Folium Nitrariae, charred), Wu Mei (Fructus Mume) 1 liang, Hei Jiang (Rhizoma Zingiberis, charred) 1.5 qian. Grind into powder; take 2 qian per dose, washed down with Wu Mei decoction.
When Qi fails to control blood, tonifying Qi should be the priority. However, if one only focuses on forcibly stopping the bleeding, does one not worry about the harm caused by accumulated blood stasis?
