Discussion states: In ancient times, when treating diseases, physicians first discussed the primary focus. For men, qi is regulated; for women, blood is regulated. If the Blood Chamber (Xueshi, uterus/blood reservoir) is not stagnant, then qi and blood harmonize; if the Blood Chamber is coagulated, then water and fire conflict. In cold damage disease, if the Cun Kou (radial artery at the wrist) pulse is tight and full, purgation should be used; if the Ren Ying (carotid artery) pulse is tight and full, diaphoresis should be used. For women, if the Left Guan pulse is floating and tight, purgation is contraindicated; instead, diaphoresis should be used to rescue the Blood Chamber. When Ying (nutritive) and Wei (defensive) harmonize, body fluids flow naturally, and the disease resolves through mild sweating. Zhang Zhongjing said: "When a woman suffers from cold damage and her menstruation has just ceased, she is clear during the day but delirious at night, seeing things as if they were ghosts. This is heat entering the Blood Chamber." Do not injure Stomach Qi or the Upper and Middle Jiao. "Do not injure Stomach Qi" means do not use purgation; Xiao Chaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) is the main formula. If treatment is delayed, heat enters the Stomach, causing dryness in the Middle Jiao. The Upper Jiao fails to nourish, resulting in symptoms resembling Blood Congestion Chest Syndrome, requiring acupuncture at Qimen (LR14). Five Elements generate each other through mutual restriction and support each other to expel pathogens. In normal health, Water nourishes Wood; Water and Wood generate each other, thus nourishing the Blood Chamber. If the Blood Chamber is not stagnant, the Spleen has no accumulation; if the Spleen has no accumulation, rigid dryness does not arise. Once rigid dryness arises, if it invades Stomach Qi, it causes day-and-night delirium and forgetfulness, lower abdominal fullness, and free urination, which belongs to the Dandang Tang (Resist the Dead Decoction) syndrome (In cold damage with Stomach excess and delirium, purgation is indicated; however, in women with heat entering the Blood Chamber and delirium, purgation is contraindicated). Although the treatment for women's cold damage differs from men's, with men regulating qi first and women regulating blood first, this is only a general statement. One must know that a tight pulse without sweat indicates Cold Damage, while a slow pulse with sweat indicates Wind Injury. Heat diseases present with a large, flooding pulse; heatstroke presents with a thin, weak pulse, yet their clinical manifestations may appear similar. For example, if heatstroke is treated with Baihu Tang (White Tiger Decoction), and Stomach excess is treated with Chengqi Tang (Order the Qi Decoction), why must blood regulation precede herbal administration? The reason Zhang Zhongjing's Shanghan Lun (Treatise on Cold Damage) does not separate women is likely because scholars can select appropriate formulas based on the patient's condition from the male prescriptions.
If a pregnant woman suffers from cold damage, the medicinal properties must be cooling. Avoid using Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig), Banxia (Pinellia Rhizome), Taoren (Persicae Semen), etc. Xiao Chaihu Tang with Banxia removed is named Huanglong Tang (Yellow Dragon Decoction), presumably established for pregnant women. Generally, before delivery, the fetus should be stabilized; after delivery, tonification should be prioritized, followed by treatment for cold damage. If the illness subsides slightly, stop medication and do not complete the full course; this is the general principle.
The Yellow Emperor asked: How should toxic medicines be used for a heavily pregnant woman? Qibo replied: "If there is a disease, the disease bears the toxicity, so neither the mother nor the fetus is harmed." For large accumulations and masses, attack may be permitted, but once the pathogen is reduced by more than half, stop to avoid exceeding the limit.
For cold damage in both men and women, Zhang Zhongjing's treatment methods are consistent without dispute. Recently, I have seen folk books on women's cold damage claiming to be written by Zhang Zhongjing with a preface by Wang Shuhe. Examining the methods, some are useful, but they are suspected not to be ancient prescriptions, merely borrowing the sage's name to gain credibility. Now, I have selected treatments for women's cold damage from Jin Gui Yu Han (Golden Cabinet Jade Box) and useful parts from common prescriptions, compiling them into one volume. Although this is insufficient to detail all aspects of women's cold damage, it can be used in conjunction with Bai Wen (Hundred Questions).
When women suffer from cold damage with fever and aversion to cold, limb stiffness and spasms, dry mouth and tongue, stagnant meridians, and impaired circulation, Guizhi Honghua Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Safflower Decoction) is suitable.
