〔大法〕
〔丹〕紫色成块者血热，四物加黄连、柴胡之类。气虚血虚者，皆于四物内加参、 。
急则治其标，白芷汤调百草霜，甚者棕榈灰，后用四物加炒干姜调理。因劳者，用人参带
升补药。因热者，用黄芩。因寒者，用炒干
姜。
〔戴〕血大至曰崩中，或清或浊，或纯下瘀血，或腐，势不可止，证状非一，所感
亦异，甚则头目昏晕，四肢厥冷，并宜胶艾汤咽震灵丹，佐以三灰散。或以童子小便煎
理中汤，或以沉香降气汤加入百草霜，米饮调下。血崩甚而腹痛，人多疑恶血未尽，又
见血色瘀黑，愈信恶血之说，不敢止截。大凡血之为患，欲出未出之际，停在腹中，即
成瘀色，难尽以瘀为恶，又焉知瘀之不为虚冷乎？若必待见瘀血之后截之，恐并与人无
之矣。此腹痛更有说瘀而腹痛，血通而痛止，崩而腹痛，血住则痛止，宜芎归汤加干姜、熟
附一钱，止其血而痛自止，仍以刺花绣拭黑片烧灰研末，米饮调下。一方，以毛蟹壳烧
存性，米饮下。亦有以早黄麻根烧灰为末，米饮下。
〔薛〕经云∶阴虚阳搏，谓之崩。又云∶阳络伤则血外溢，阴络伤则血内溢。又云∶脾
统血，肝藏血。其为患因脾胃虚损，不能摄血归源。或因肝经有火，血得热而下行。或
因肝经有风，血得风而妄行。或因怒动肝火，血热而沸腾。或因脾经郁结，血伤而不归经。
或因悲哀太过，胞络伤而下崩。治疗之法∶脾胃虚弱者，六君子汤加当归、川芎、柴胡。脾
胃虚陷者，补中益气汤加酒炒芍药、山栀。肝经血热者，四物汤加柴胡、山栀、苓、术。肝
经风热者，加味逍遥散，或小柴胡汤加山栀、芍药、丹皮。若怒动肝火，亦用前药。脾经
郁火者，归脾汤加山栀、柴胡、丹皮。哀伤胞络者，四君子汤加柴胡、升麻、山栀。故
东垣、丹溪诸先生云∶凡下血证须用四君子以收功，斯言厥有旨哉。若大去血后，毋以
脉诊，当急用独参汤救之。其发热、潮热、咳嗽、脉数，乃是元气虚弱，假热之脉也，尤
当用人参之类。此等证候，无不由脾胃先损，故脉洪大。察其有胃气受补则可救，设用寒
凉之药，复伤脾胃生气，反不能摄血归源，是速其危也。
《经验》、《简要》治崩中等证。冷者，脉紧细，手足寒，红去、淡黑或五色，当归
建中加白龙骨、血竭、附子，下紫石英丸、震灵丹。灸火。热者，脉洪，四肢温，心烦
口苦燥，血沸而成，用黄芩汤、荆芥散，或清心莲子饮加竹沥、生地黄汁，甚者，生地
黄汁磨京墨、百草霜冷服。虚者，胶艾汤加麦门冬、鹿茸、龙骨、酸枣仁，或养荣汤
加龙骨、血竭，送震灵丹。实者，腹中痛，煮附丸、四物汤加香附子。心虚者，恍忽
多梦，健忘，舌强，小便多，面红盗汗，柏子仁汤、酸枣仁汤加龙骨、京墨、百草霜，吞
灵砂丹。又灵砂、当归、莲肉、龙骨、枣肉丸，参汤送下。崩中作麝香、当归，香者，心

(Attached: Heart Pain Caused by Severe Blood Loss)
[General Principles]
[Zhu Danxi] If the blood is purple-black and forms clots, it indicates Blood Heat. Use Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) with added Huanglian (Coptis Rhizome) and Chaihu (Bupleurum Root). For Qi Deficiency or Blood Deficiency, add Renshen (Ginseng Radix) and Huangqi (Astragalus Membranaceus) to Siwu Tang.
In acute cases, treat the branch symptoms first. Administer Baicaoshuang (Soot from Hundred Herbs) mixed with Baizhi Tang (Angelica Dahurica Decoction); for severe cases, use Zongluyin (Date Palm Spine Ash). Afterwards, regulate with Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) plus Chao Ganjiang (Fried Dried Ginger). For cases caused by overexertion, use Renshen (Ginseng Radix) combined with herbs that have lifting and tonifying properties. For cases caused by Heat, use Huangqin (Scutellaria Root). For cases caused by Cold, use Chao Ganjiang (Fried Dried Ginger).
[Dai Yuanli] Massive bleeding is called Bengzhong (Metrorrhagia). The discharge may be clear or turbid, purely clotted blood, or putrid. The flow is unstoppable, symptoms vary, and etiologies differ. In severe cases, dizziness and cold extremities occur. All such cases should be treated with Jiao'ai Tang (Donkey-hide Gelatin and Mugwort Decoction) taken with Zhenling Dan (Spirit-Shaking Pill), assisted by Sanhui San (Three Ashes Powder). Alternatively, decoct Lizhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction) using Tongzi Xiaoye (Child's Urine), or add Baicaoshuang (Soot from Hundred Herbs) to Chenxiang Jiangqi Tang (Aquilaria Qi-Descending Decoction) and administer with Rice Drink. When metrorrhagia is severe with abdominal pain, people often suspect that evil blood remains. Seeing the dark, clotted blood reinforces this belief, leading to hesitation in using hemostatic agents. Generally, when blood is about to exit but lingers in the abdomen, it becomes clotted. One cannot assume all clots are "evil"; how can one know if clots are not due to Deficiency-Cold? If one waits until clots appear before stopping the bleeding, normal blood may also be lost. Regarding abdominal pain: if caused by blood stasis, pain ceases when blood flows; if caused by metrorrhagia, pain ceases when bleeding stops. Use Xionggui Tang (Ligusticum and Angelica Decoction) with Ganjiang (Dried Ginger) and Shu Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Carapax et Radix Preparata, 1 qian). Once bleeding stops, pain will cease. Alternatively, burn black flakes from embroidered cloth to ash, powder it, and take with Rice Drink. Another method: burn crab shell until preserved nature, take with Rice Drink. Some use dried hemp root burned to ash, taken with Rice Drink.
[Xue Ji] The Classic says: Yin Deficiency with Yang pounding is called Beng. It also says: Injury to Yang collaterals causes external bleeding; injury to Yin collaterals causes internal bleeding. Furthermore: Spleen governs blood; Liver stores blood. Pathogenesis involves Spleen-Stomach deficiency failing to control blood return to its source. Or Liver channel Fire causing blood to descend due to heat. Or Liver channel Wind causing blood to move recklessly. Or anger stirring Liver Fire causing blood to boil. Or Spleen channel stagnation injuring blood so it does not return to vessels. Or excessive grief injuring the Bao Luo (Uterine Collaterals) causing lower bleeding. Treatment methods: For Spleen-Stomach weakness, use Liujunzi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction) with Danggui (Angelica Sinensis), Chuanxiong (Sichuan Lovage Rhizome), and Chaihu (Bupleurum Root). For Spleen-Stomach sinking, use Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment Qi Decoction) with Jiushao Yao (Wine-fried White Peony Root) and Shanzhi (Gardenia Fruit). For Liver channel Blood Heat, use Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) with Chaihu (Bupleurum Root), Shanzhi (Gardenia Fruit), Fuling (Poria), and Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome). For Liver channel Wind-Heat, use Jia Wei Xiaoyao San (Modified Free and Easy Wanderer Powder) or Xiao Chaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) with Shanzhi (Gardenia Fruit), Shaoyao (Peony Root), and Mudanpi (Tree Peony Bark). If caused by anger stirring Liver Fire, use the aforementioned formulas. For Spleen channel Stagnant Fire, use Guipi Tang (Restore the Spleen Decoction) with Shanzhi (Gardenia Fruit), Chaihu (Bupleurum Root), and Mudanpi (Tree Peony Bark). For grief injuring Bao Luo, use Sijunzi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) with Chaihu (Bupleurum Root), Shengma (Cimicifuga Rhizome), and Shanzhi (Gardenia Fruit). Thus, Dongyuan and Danxi stated: For all lower bleeding syndromes, conclude treatment with Sijunzi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction). This statement is profound. After massive blood loss, do not rely solely on pulse diagnosis; urgently use Dushen Tang (Single Ginseng Decoction) to rescue. Fever, tidal fever, cough, and rapid pulse indicate Yuan Qi (Original Qi) deficiency and false Heat; Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix) is especially indicated. These syndromes stem from prior Spleen-Stomach damage, hence the flooding pulse. If stomach Qi can accept tonification, rescue is possible. Using cold-cooling herbs would further damage Spleen-Stomach generating Qi, preventing blood from returning to vessels, thus accelerating death.
Jingyan Fang (Experience Formulas) and Jianyao Fang (Essential Formulas) treat Bengzhong (Metrorrhagia). For Cold patterns: tight/thin pulse, cold limbs, red/dark/black or multi-colored discharge. Use Danggui Jianzhong Tang (Angelica Build the Middle Decoction) with Bailonggu (Fossilized Bones), Xuexue (Dragon's Blood), and Fuzi (Aconite Carapax et Radix Preparata). Follow with Zi Shiying Wan (Purple Quartz Pill) and Zhenling Dan (Spirit-Shaking Pill). Moxibustion. For Heat patterns: flooding pulse, warm limbs, irritability, bitter/dry mouth, boiling blood. Use Huangqin Tang (Scutellaria Decoction), Jingjie San (Schizonepeta Powder), or Qingxin Lianzi Yin (Clear Heart Lotus Seed Drink) with Zhuli (Bamboo Juice) and Shengdihuang汁 (Fresh Rehmannia Juice). For severe cases, mix Shengdihuang汁 (Fresh Rehmannia Juice) with Jingmo (Beijing Ink) and Baicaoshuang (Soot from Hundred Herbs), take cold. For Deficiency patterns: Jiao'ai Tang (Donkey-hide Gelatin and Mugwort Decoction) with Maidong (Ophiopogon Tuber), Lurong (Deer Antler), Longgu (Fossilized Bones), and Suanzaoren (Ziziphus Seed). Or Yangrong Tang (Nourish Vigor Decoction) with Longgu (Fossilized Bones) and Xuexue (Dragon's Blood), followed by Zhenling Dan (Spirit-Shaking Pill). For Excess patterns: abdominal pain. Use Zhu Fu Wan (Boiled Aconite Pill) or Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) with Xiangfu (Cyperus Rhizome). For Heart Deficiency: vagueness, dreams, forgetfulness, stiff tongue, frequent urination, facial flushing, night sweats. Use Baizi Ren Tang (Biota Seed Decoction) or Suanzaoren Tang (Ziziphus Seed Decoction) with Longgu (Fossilized Bones), Jingmo (Beijing Ink), and Baicaoshuang (Soot from Hundred Herbs). Swallow Lingsha Dan (Cinnabar-Sulfur Pill). Also, pills of Lingsha (Cinnabar-Sulfur), Danggui (Angelica Sinensis), Lianrou (Lotus Seed Plumule), Longgu (Fossilized Bones), and Jujube flesh, taken with Renshen Tang (Ginseng Decoction). If Bengzhong shows musk and Danggui (Angelica Sinensis) aroma, Heart Qi has scattered; urgently take Lingsha (Cinnabar-Sulfur) and Longgu (Fossilized Bones).
A peasant woman suffered metrorrhagia and leukorrhea. She took Da Wugen (Great Arisaema Root) decocted in wine, taken early morning. It grows in wheat fields, resembling Artemisia flowers. Some say it is Jigen (Thistle Root).
Chanbao (Treasures of Childbirth) distinguishes Yin Beng and Yang Beng. Heat-induced red discharge is Yang Beng. Cold-induced white discharge is Yin Beng.
Jiao'ai Tang (Donkey-hide Gelatin and Mugwort Decoction) treats Yang Beng unceasing with lower abdominal pain. (See previous section on continuous menstruation.)
Gu Jing Wan (Stabilize the Menses Pill) treats Yin Beng unceasing.
Ai Ye (Mugwort Leaf, stir-fried with vinegar), Lujiaoshuang (Deer Horn Glue Frost), Fulonggan (Dragons' Blood Soil), Ganjiang (Dried Ginger) (equal parts, powdered).
Melt Lujiaojiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin) and mix with powder. Form pills while hot. Take 50 pills after meals with light vinegar water.
Danxi said: Phlegm-fluid retention in the chest prevents Clear Qi from ascending, obstructing meridians and causing downward flow. Without resolving phlegm, Qi cannot move; without ascending Qi, Blood cannot return to its vessels. This clearly explains blood leakage. Resolving chest phlegm allows Clear Qi to ascend; ascending Clear Qi stops bleeding. Symptoms include abdominal fullness like pregnancy, umbilical/abdominal pain, blood clots, comfort upon bleeding but oppression upon cessation, or pulsation above the navel. Treatment: resolve phlegm, move stagnant Qi, eliminate dirty blood.
[Resolving Phlegm]
Madam Jiang, 30 years old, had post-abortion bleeding, poor appetite, abdominal fullness, fatigue, restlessness. Six pulses were deep, hidden, rapid, and slightly wiry upon heavy pressure. I diagnosed Liver Qi stagnation affecting Stomach Qi. Used Erchen Tang (Two Aged Substances Decoction) with Chuanxiong (Sichuan Lovage Rhizome), Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome), and Suosha (Amomum Fruit). 20 doses brought relief.

Banxia Wan (Pinellia Pill) [Zhizhi Fang] treats lower bleeding, hematemesis, metrorrhagia, leukorrhea, phlegm-wheezing/fullness, edema. Also eliminates old stasis.
Use round white Banxia (Pinellia Tuber), scrape clean, flatten. Mix with Jiangzhi (Ginger Juice) and refined flour to make cakes. Wrap and roast until yellow. Remove flour, powder Banxia.
Form pills with rice paste, size of mung beans. Take 10 pills with warm cooked water. Can also be taken with half-decoctions of Xionggui Tang (Ligusticum and Angelica Decoction) or Chenxiang Jiangqi Tang (Aquilaria Qi-Descending Decoction). Essential hemostatic herb.

Due to Spleen-Stomach deficiency sinking into Kidney, combining with Minister Fire, Damp-Heat pressing down, causing leakage. Color purple-black, foul like rotting meat in summer. With leukorrhea: wiry/thin pulse, internal Cold. With red leukorrhea: flooding/rapid pulse, Heat evident.

Treat by frightening patient to stop fear, then greatly tonify Qi/Blood, nourish Spleen-Stomach, slightly calm Heart Fire, tonify Yin drain Yang, menstruation stops. Fei Lun says: Excessive grief severs Bao Luo, Yang moves internally, causes heart metrorrhagia/frequent bloody urine. Large vessels empty, muscle bi transforms into Mai Wei (Vessel Flaccidity). This is it.
