To treat postpartum blood syncope (postpartum fainting due to blood stasis), where evil blood enters the Heart channel, causing inverted speech, memory loss, and loss of will, as well as various diseases after childbirth.
Moyao (Myrrha) and Xuexie (Dragon's Blood) in equal parts.
Grind the above into fine powder. Immediately after delivery, take half a cup of Tongzi Xiaobian (urine of a young boy) and half a cup of refined wine, boil for one or two boils, mix with two qian of the powder, and take orally. After a while, take again. The evil blood will naturally flow downwards and not rush upwards, preventing various diseases. *Zhuanzhi Furen Fang* uses only white boiled water for mixing.
Hong Yunshi (an official title) from Wuyang, whose wife Shu Ruren (a title for noblewomen), suffered from inverted speech after childbirth, incessant delirious speech, as if possessed by spirits, and other medicines were ineffective.
I was summoned to diagnose her; the six pulses were harmonious. I used this medicine, and she recovered after two doses.

To treat postpartum mania caused by fright, where败血 (defective blood) rushes to the Heart, causing dizziness, coma, and madness, as if haunted by ghosts, it is appropriate to use Dasheng Zelan San (Great Sage Marshwort Powder) from *Ju Fang*, unless it is a natural birth (in which case the formula is effective). Add high-quality Chensha (Cinnabar), grind extremely fine, add approximately one zi (a small unit of weight) per dose, decoct Suanzaoren Tang (Sour Jujube Seed Decoction) to administer, and one dose can stabilize the condition.

A prescription for postpartum madness due to defective blood and pathogenic qi entering the Heart, resembling seeing ghostly objects.
Use 1-2 qian of large Chensha (Cinnabar), ground extremely fine. Mix with 3-4 tea-spoonfuls of milk fed to infants. Additionally, dig out one live Dilong (Earthworm, *Pheretima*) with a purple neck, put it into the medicine, wait for the earthworm to roll three times, then remove the earthworm without using it, ensuring it does not carry out the medicine, but only its saliva is desired. Then add Wuhui Jiu (wine without ash impurities), mix with the aforementioned milk to about 70-80% of a cup, warm in a double boiler. When the illness strikes, divide into two or three doses.
My wife, just one day after giving birth, suddenly saw ghostly objects and spoke confusedly. I took one qian of Zihe Suhe Xiang Wan (Self-made Amber and Storax Pill), mixed with Tongzi Xiaobian (urine of a young boy), and she woke up immediately, with her spirit restored to normal.

Postpartum inverted speech or delirious speech as if seeing ghosts and gods has diverse origins; careful differentiation and medication are required. For treating postpartum convulsions with chaotic speech, seeing ghosts, and unsettled spirit, grind good Zhusha (Cinnabar), mix with wine, and administer Longhu Dan (Dragon and Tiger Pill) (see *Ju Fang*), three pills as one dose, combined with Hupo Dihuang Wan (Amber and Rehmannia Pill).
First, if it is due to postpartum Heart deficiency, with defective blood stagnating and disturbing the Heart, causing manic speech and talking to oneself, seek treatment in Volume 19, Treatise 1.
Second, if postpartum organ deficiency causes Heart palpitations, unstable will, chaotic speech, lack of self-awareness, and unsettled spirit, seek treatment in Volume 19, Treatise 2.
Third, if there is pre-existing wind-toxin, and postpartum Heart deficiency and weak qi cause stiffness in the waist and back, or singing, crying, anger, and laughing, with chaotic speech, treat as Feng Jing (Wind Spasm), seeking treatment in Volume 19, Treatise 3.
Fourth, if postpartum Heart deficiency leads to Wind Stroke, with vague Spirit and chaotic speech, seek treatment in Volume 19, Treatise 4.
Fifth, if postpartum madness is mostly due to defective blood confusing the Heart channel, causing erratic speech or dizziness, seek treatment in Treatises 5 and 6 of this volume.
Sixth, if postpartum contraction of wind-cold causes sudden cessation of lochia, aversion to cold and fever like malaria, clarity during the day, and delirium at night as if seeing ghosts, treat as Re Ru Xue Shi (Heat Entering the Blood Chamber). It is suitable to use Hupo Dihuang Wan (Amber and Rehmannia Pill) and Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction), using only Sheng Gan Dihuang (Raw Dried Rehmannia Root) and Beichaihu (Northern Bupleurum Root) in equal parts for decoction. If symptoms do not subside, use Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) adding Sheng Gan Dihuang (Raw Dried Rehmannia Root) in the same dosage as Huangqin (Scutellaria Root), decoct and take to cure. Although these syndromes vary, generally, diseases before and after pregnancy have specific fixed methods, differing by no hair's breadth. Postpartum treatment should first expel defective blood and generate new blood, then carefully differentiate the disease. Do not arbitrarily create names, innovate ideas, or modify prescriptions. It is highly advisable to match the syndrome and follow ancient methods for treatment; there will be no instability.
Hupo Dihuang Wan (Amber and Rehmannia Pill) (Formula seen in Vol 19, Treatise 2), Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) (Formula seen in Vol 2, Treatise 5 General Formulas), Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) (Formula seen in Vol 6, Treatise 5), treat postpartum defective blood rushing to the Heart, fever, manic speech and running around, with a deficient and large pulse. (Added by Nan Lide)
Gan Heye (Dried Lotus Leaf), Sheng Dihuang (Raw Rehmannia Root, dried), Mudanpi (Tree Peony Bark) in equal parts, any amount.
Decoct the above three ingredients strongly into a soup, mix with 2 qianbi of Sheng Puhuang (Raw Pollen Typhae), and one dose brings peace.
