Answer: Postpartum, Qi and Blood are suddenly deficient, and the body has not yet regained tranquility. Blood follows the upward movement of Qi, confusing and disturbing the Heart Spirit (Shen), resulting in blurred vision. In severe cases, it causes coma, locked jaw, loss of consciousness, and cold breath. If physicians do not recognize this condition, they may call it "An Feng" (Dark Wind). Treating it as such will make the disease difficult to cure. One should simply administer Qing Hun San (Clear Soul Powder).

Zelan Ye (Lagopterum Herba) (2.5 fen), Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) (2.5 fen), Jingjie Sui (Schizonepetae Spica) (1 liang), Chuanxiong (Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizoma) (0.5 liang), Gancao (Licorice Root) (roasted, 1 fen).
Grind the above ingredients into a fine powder. Take 1 qian per dose, mixed with half a cup of hot water and half a cup of warm wine. Upon swallowing, the eyes will open, breathing will stabilize, and consciousness will return.

Qibao San (Seven-Treasure Powder): Used in the early postpartum period to regulate Blood and harmonize Qi, tonify deficiency, suppress palpitations and fright, and treat syncope due to deficiency.
Zhusha (Cinnabar) (ground), Guixin (Cinnamon Twig Bark), Jiangjiang (Dried Ginger) (processed), Danggui (Angelica Sinensis Radix), Lingyangjiao (Saiga Tatarica Cornu), Chuanxiong (Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Fuling (Poria) (each 0.5 fen).
Grind the above ingredients into a fine powder. If the parturient is physically balanced, from three days before delivery until one month postpartum, take one zi-sized amount daily, mixed with Qianghuo Doulin Jiu (Notopterygium and Bean Leaven Wine). Take on an empty stomach. If chest and heart heat sensation occurs, reduce the dosage of Guixin and Jiangjiang; if feeling cold, increase them. For abdominal pain, add Danggui; for chest stuffiness, add Lingyangjiao; for shortness of breath in the chest, add Guixin; for inability to eat or nausea, add Renshen; for tremors due to deficiency, add Fuling. Adjust according to judgment. Take twice daily and once at night. For those who do not drink alcohol, mix with a small amount of Tongbian Jiu (Child Urine Wine).

Answer: Postpartum, the Uterus and Stomach are extremely deficient, and Qi and Blood have not yet stabilized. Consuming wheat products too early overwhelms the Stomach's digestive capacity. The toxicity of wheat accumulates in the Epigastrium and steams upward into the Chest, causing dry mouth, irritability, thirst, and epigastric fullness and oppression. Physicians who do not recognize this may misdiagnose it as obstruction in the Thoracic Diaphragm. This condition is suitable for treating with Jian Wan (Note: Text implies a specific pill formula, likely missing character in source, translated literally).
