According to the *Daquan* (Complete Collection): Postpartum lochia that does not cease is caused by damage to the menstrual blood after childbirth, leading to deficiency and insufficiency. Or, during delivery, if the evil blood (lochia) is not completely expelled, it remains stagnant in the abdomen.

If Liver Qi is deficient and fails to store blood, Xiaoyao San (Free and Easy Wanderer Powder) is appropriate.

If both Qi and Blood are deficient, Shiquan Dabu Tang (Ten-Ingredient Great Tonifying Decoction) is appropriate.
