In women, swelling of the yin (external genitalia) is caused by deficiency and damage combined with invasion of wind pathogenic factors. The collateral vessels of the uterus are deficient, allowing wind pathogens to lodge within. Wind qi invades the yin region and contends with blood and qi.
For treating menstrual stagnation and obstruction in women, accompanied by swelling and pain in the yin, use Changpu San (Acorus Powder):
Rhizoma Acori Tatarinowii (1 liang), Radix Angelicae Sinensis (1 liang, sliced and lightly stir-fried), Radix Gentianae Macrophyllae (3 fen), Fructus Evodiae (0.5 liang, soaked in water seven times, dried, and lightly stir-fried).
Crush the above ingredients into a coarse powder. Take 3 qian per dose, add one zhongzhan of water and five cun of scallion white, decoct until reduced to six-tenths, strain, and take warm before meals.
For treating swelling or ulceration of the yin in women, wash with Mahuang Decoction:
Herba Ephedrae (3 liang, roots removed), Rhizoma Coptidis (2 liang, sliced), Fructus Cnidii (2 liang), Fructus Mume (1 piece).
Finely slice the above ingredients, decoct in one dou of water until reduced to five sheng, strain, and wash the area while slightly warm. Avoid wind and cold carefully.
For unbearable swelling and pain in the yin of women:
Radix Saposhnikoviae (3 liang), Radix Euphorbiae Lathyris (2 liang), Folium Artemisiae Argyi (5 liang).
Finely slice the above ingredients, decoct in two dou of water until reduced to five sheng, strain, and wash while slightly warm. This may be done three times daily. Avoid wind and cold.

Radix Phytolaccae (1 jin, sliced).
Decoct in one dou of water until reduced to five sheng. Wash while slightly warm, three times daily.
Itching of the yin in women is caused by parasitic worms. Three types of parasites reside between the intestines and stomach; due to visceral deficiency, these parasites become active and erode the yin, causing itching and heat sensations.
For treating yin itching in women, use Dahuang San (Rhubarb Powder):
Radix et Rhizoma Rhei (1 liang, sliced and lightly stir-fried), Radix Scutellariae (1 liang), Radix Paeoniae Rubra (0.5 liang), Radix Scrophulariae (0.5 liang), Radix Astragali (1 liang, sliced), Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae (1 liang).
