〔疝瘕〕
〔大〕妇人疝瘕,由饮食不节,寒温不调,气血劳伤,脏腑虚弱,风冷入腹,与血
相结所生。疝者痛也,瘕者假也,结聚浮假而痛,推移乃动也。妇人之病,有异于丈夫
者,或因产后血虚受寒,或因经水往来,取冷过度,非独因饮食失节,多挟于血气所成
也。其脉弦急者生,虚弱小者死。尺脉涩而浮牢为血实气虚,其发腹痛逆气上行,此为
胞中有恶血,久则结成血瘕也。

Diyu San (Groundsel Powder): Treats Bai Xue (败血 - decaying blood).
Herbs: He Shou Wu (Polygoni Multiflori Radix), Rou Gui (Cinnamomi Cortex), Di Yu (Sanguisorbae Radix), Xiang Bai Zhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix) (equal parts).
Grind the above herbs into coarse powder. Take 2 qian per dose, with 1.5 liang of rice washing water and a small piece of rock sugar. Decoct until 0.8 liang remains, strain, and take on an empty stomach before meals.
Single prescriptions from *Ben Cao* (*Compendium of Materia Medica*): To eliminate Yu Xue (瘀血 - blood stasis), drink fresh lotus root juice. Scrape amber powder and take with water. If Yu Xue does not dissipate and transforms into Yong (痈 - carbuncle/abscess), crush fresh Qing Hao (Artemisiae Annuae Herba), extract one sheng of juice, and take it. To remove old blood in the abdomen, eat many dried persimmons to cure. To break old blood, burn a whetstone black, throw it hot into wine, and drink. Or decoct Zi Jing Mu (Cercidiphylli Lignum) strongly and take it.
[Pi]
[Large type]: Located inside the abdomen near the umbilicus on the left and right sides, there is each a tendon meridian that contracts and hurts. The large ones are as thick as an arm, the smaller ones as thick as a finger. Formed by Qi stagnation, they resemble a string, named "Pi" (癖 - abdominal mass/tumor). Another type of "Pi" is located obliquely between the two hypochondria, causing intermittent pain, hence called "Pi". Both conditions result from disharmony of Yin and Yang, obstruction of meridians, stagnation of food and drink, and failure of circulation. Pathogenic cold Qi binds and does not disperse; upon exposure to cold, pain attacks occur.
Shexiang Wan (Musk Pill): Treats women's Pi accumulation, accompanied by Cold Qi and Zhu Qi (注气 - infectious or wandering pathogenic qi), causing unbearable heart and abdominal pain.
Herbs: She Xiang (Moschus) (half liang, separately ground), A Wei (Ferulae Resina) (two and a half qian, wrapped in flour and roasted until flour is cooked), Wu Ling Zhi (Trogopterori Faeces), Tao Ren (Persicae Semen), San Leng (Sparganii Rhizoma) (each seven and a half qian), Yuan Hua (Genkwa Flos) (stir-fried with vinegar), Bing Lang (Arecae Semen) (each one liang), E Zhu (Curcumae Rhizoma), Gui Xin (Cinnamomi Ramulus), Mo Yao (Myrrha), Mu Xiang (Aucklandiae Radix), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) (each half liang).
Grind the above herbs (except Musk) into fine powder, mix evenly with Musk. Use soft glutinous rice as a binder to make pills the size of paulownia seeds. Take ten pills per dose at any time, with light vinegar soup.
Divine efficacy prescription for treating women's Pi accumulation and Blood-Qi disorders.
Take one pig liver, weighing about ten liang. Insert fifty peeled bitter almonds (Ba Dou) into the liver. Simmer the liver in three bowls of strong vinegar over slow fire until extremely soft. Mix in powdered Jing San Leng (Bupleuri Radix or Sparganii Rhizoma variant) to form pills the size of paulownia seeds. Take five pills before meals with warm wine. After the liver is cooked, remove the Ba Dou and discard. Pi, Ji (accumulation), and Jia (mass) are all hard masses formed by Blood and Qi stagnation. Attacks cause stabbing pain, sometimes life-threatening. Fundamentally, these are caused by Blood pathology.
I once treated a woman with unbearable Blood-Qi stabbing pain who even fell unconscious for one or two days before regaining consciousness. Despite treatment by doctors and shamans for years without success, I cured her using Cong Bai San (Scallion White Powder) and Wu Ji Wan (Black Chicken Pill). I also treated another woman whose Blood-Qi pain felt like a small plate moving around causing stabbing pain, requiring someone to press down on her body to relieve it slightly. This was also cured with these two medicines. For ordinary mild Blood-Qi disorders, these two medicines also have miraculous effects, so they are recorded hereafter.
Cong Bai San (Scallion White Powder): Specifically treats all types of Cold Qi disharmony, and pain caused by Qi attacking from the relevant organ and Bladder Meridian. It greatly treats abdominal pain before and after childbirth, fetal restlessness, or Blood stabbing pain. It also treats old cold in the Blood organs, fatigue and pain in all joints, weak physique, labor injury, leukorrhea, and Pi accumulation. Long-term use eliminates all ailments. However, this medicine is most suitable for all diseases in women.
Herbs: Chuan Xiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Zhi Ke (Aurantii Fructus), Hou Po (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex), Gui Xin (Cinnamomi Ramulus), Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix), Bo Shang Xiang (Agarwood), Qing Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride), Ku Lian Zi (Meliae Semen), Mu Xiang (Aucklandiae Radix), Shu Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata), Mai Ya (Hordei Fructus Germinatus), San Leng (Sparganii Rhizoma), E Zhu (Curcumae Rhizoma), Fu Ling (Poria), Shen Qu (Massae Fermentatae Medicamentosa), Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) (equal parts).
Grind into fine powder. Take three ping qian per dose with one liang of water, two cun of scallion white with roots (crushed), and half a qian of salt. Decoct until 0.7 liang remains. Add Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) and He Zi (Terminalia Chebulae Fructus). Adjust according to symptoms: if stool is difficult, add Da Huang to decoct, do not add salt. If stool is loose, add He Zi to decoct.
Mr. Zhu said: This medicine greatly treats Heart Qi and Spleen pain, with effective results. I once used this medicine to treat edema with immediate effect. Lady Chen suffered from Blood-Qi pain, unbearable, ineffective with other medicines. Upon my diagnosis, her Guan pulses were deep and weak indicating Liver pulse, deep and slightly tight, suggesting Blood-Qi gradually forming Pi accumulation. Cured using only these two medicines. The wife of Ma Chaofeng in Siming also suffered from this and was cured with these two medicines.

Muxiang Sha Wan (Aucklandia and Amomum Pill) (*Ba Cui Fang*): Treats women's Pi accumulation, Blood mass stabbing pain, Spleen and Stomach deficiency-cold, retained food digestion failure, chronic cases not healing.
Herbs: Mu Xiang (Aucklandiae Radix), Sha Ren (Amomi Fructus), Ding Xiang (Caryophylli Flos), Guan Gui (Cinnamomi Ramulus), Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata) (processed), Gan Qi (Drynariae Rhizoma? No, likely Datura or similar toxic herb, context suggests processing) (stir-fried until smoke ceases), Xi Mo (Indigo Naturalis?

Except for Sha Ren, Ru Xiang, and Mo Yao, grind the rest into powder. Dissolve Sha Ren in one sheng of good vinegar, strain, and slowly boil in a silver vessel. Then add Ba Dou Shuang and Da Huang to boil into a paste. Mix the powder with the paste to make pills the size of hemp seeds. Take 30-50 pills after meals with warm wine. Increase dosage until bowel movement occurs.

Coarsely grind and sieve. Take three qian per dose with one zhong zhan of water. Decoct until 0.6 liang remains, strain, and take slightly warm at any time.
The above formulas are all purgatives for accumulating pathogens, lacking tonifying properties. They are strictly forbidden for deficient persons. Even for excess patterns, they must be taken concurrently with Si Jun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) and Si Wu Tang (Four Substances Decoction).
[Shan Jia]
[Large type]: Women's Shan Jia arises from irregular diet, imbalance of cold and heat, exhaustion of Blood and Qi, weakness of Zang-Fu organs, wind-cold entering the abdomen, and binding with Blood. "Shan" refers to pain; "Jia" refers to false appearance. The mass floats and causes pain, moving when pushed. Women's diseases differ from men's. Some arise from postpartum Blood deficiency and cold invasion, others from menstrual cycles and excessive cold intake. Not solely due to dietary irregularities, but often compounded by Blood and Qi disorders. Pulse string-tight indicates survival; pulse weak-small indicates death. Chi pulse rough and floating-firm indicates Blood excess and Qi deficiency. Attacks involve abdominal pain and counterflow Qi upward, indicating Evil Blood in the uterus, which eventually forms Blood Jia.
[Xue] Zihe said: Enuresis, stranguria, impotence, bladder bi, spermatorrhea, and leukorrhea are men's Shan diseases. If Blood dries up and menstruation stops, or if a mass appears in the lower abdomen after menstruation, moves occasionally, anterior yin protrudes, posterior yin has hemorrhoids, these are women's Shan diseases. However, women do not call them Shan but Jia.
One woman had lower abdominal distension, occasional leukorrhea with urination, and dribbling urine. This was Damp-Heat pouring downward from the Liver Meridian, cured with Long Dan Xie Gan Tang (Gentian Liver-Draining Decoction).
One woman had lower abdominal distension and pain, difficulty urinating, sometimes chest/breast pain, sometimes hypochondriac distension, sometimes Qi counterflow to the chest/heart. I diagnosed Liver Fire injuring Blood and Spleen, cured with Si Wu Tang, Chai Hu, Qing Pi, Yan Hu Suo, and Mu Xiang.
One woman had lower abdominal stuffiness, difficulty urinating, internal heat, fatigue, and poor appetite. Treated with Ba Zhen Tang plus Chai Hu, Shan Zhi, and Long Dan Cao, resulting in recovery.
Gan Qi San (Dry Lacquer Powder): Treats women's Shan Jia persisting for a long time, causing jaundice, emaciation, hypochondriac oppression, and heart/abdominal pain.

Treat Kidney, Yu Chang, Bladder Pi accumulations, Shan prolapse, Five Obstructions, Blood flooding, postpartum bleeding, leukorrhea with red/white discharge. Divide one pill into four doses, all taken with wine wrapped in silk. For dead fetus, use one pill. For difficult labor, fry forty-nine Kai Zi (Abutili Semen), crush, decoct in wine, and take one pill. Various diseases resolve within three doses; Shan Qi within ten doses; Ge Qi and Jia within five doses; Blood Jia with three pills should heal. My clan niece-in-law had a large mass in her abdomen like a cup, causing unbearable pain. At that time, she was noble, and all skilled doctors in the capital gathered, but medicines failed.
