【歌】脾肾虽分先后天，阴阳气血总相兼，瘦人过动宜清理，自汗滋阴合自然，怒气伤肝常呕逆，胎元不运
懒多眠，惟宜开郁安胎气，养血和中疾自痊。
【论】脾为后天之长，肾为先天之原。有孕则碍脾，以致运化迟而生湿，湿生热，故用白术以健脾燥湿，黄
芩以清热安胎，此形瘦血热，营行过疾，胎常上逼，过动不安，食少面黄，倦怠无力者宜之。若火旺口干，发热
自汗，烦躁腹痛者，又宜生地、归、芍以养血也。若性急多怒，形实气盛，面黑胸满，呕逆腹痛，胎常不运者，又
宜砂仁、香附以开之。肾为冲任之根，男子以藏精，女子以系胞，若肾虚腰软，脚膝无力，又宜六味丸去丹皮加
杜仲、续断。故健脾、养血、开郁、补肾，治虽不同，然五行相生，循环无端，一以贯之。总之使其气血和平，
无过不及而已。

[Verse] Although the Spleen and Kidney are distinguished as the Post-Heaven (acquired) and Pre-Heaven (innate) foundations respectively, Yin and Yang, Qi and Blood are always interdependent. For thin individuals with excessive internal heat, clearing and purifying methods are appropriate; for those with spontaneous sweating, nourishing Yin harmonizes naturally. Anger injures the Liver, often causing vomiting and regurgitation, poor movement of the fetal origin, lethargy, and hypersomnia. In such cases, one should only resolve depression/stagnation to calm the fetal Qi, nourish Blood, and harmonize the Middle Jiao, so that the disease heals spontaneously.
[Discussion] The Spleen is the head of the Post-Heaven foundation, and the Kidney is the root of the Pre-Heaven foundation. During pregnancy, the Spleen is impeded, leading to slow transformation and transportation, resulting in Dampness. Dampness generates Heat. Therefore, Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) is used to strengthen the Spleen and dry Dampness, and Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix) is used to clear Heat and calm the fetus. This formula is suitable for those who are thin, have blood heat, rapid Ying (Nutritive) circulation, upward pressing of the fetus causing restlessness, poor appetite, sallow complexion, and fatigue/weakness. If there is fire hyperactivity, dry mouth, fever, spontaneous sweating, irritability, and abdominal pain, it is better to use Sheng Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), and Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) to nourish Blood. If the person is irritable, prone to anger, has a solid physique, abundant Qi, dark complexion, chest fullness, vomiting/regurgitation, abdominal pain, and stagnant fetal movement, Sha Ren (Amomi Fructus) and Xiang Fu (Cyperi Rhizoma) should be used to resolve stagnation. The Kidney is the root of the Chong (Penetrating) and Ren (Conception) vessels. In men, it stores Essence; in women, it anchors the Bao (Uterus). If Kidney deficiency causes softness of the waist and weakness in the legs and knees, Liu Wei Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia) with Dan Pi (Moutan Cortex) removed, plus Du Zhong (Eucommiae Cortex) and Xu Duan (Dipsaci Radix), is appropriate. Thus, strengthening the Spleen, nourishing Blood, resolving stagnation, and tonifying the Kidney are different treatments, yet they follow the principle of mutual generation among the Five Elements, cycling endlessly, and are consistent throughout. Ultimately, the goal is to make Qi and Blood peaceful, without excess or deficiency.
