When excessive effort is exerted during childbirth, fatigue damages the Spleen Qi. The Spleen (the solitary organ) fails to distribute essence to the four extremities, resulting in cold feet and rebellious Jue Qi rising upward. As stated in the *Classic* (*Huangdi Neijing*): "When Yang Qi is deficient below, it manifests as Cold Jue." Without an urgent prescription to elevate Qi and return it to its origin, and without substantial tonification to restore Yang and spirit, how could a few qian of Dang Gui (Chinese Angelica Root) and Ren Shen (Ginseng), administered at the standard frequency of one decoction per day for ordinary conditions, revive the dying and rescue nearly exhausted Qi and Blood? One must use Jiashen Shenghua Tang (Ginseng-Enhanced Decoction for Generating New Blood), doubling the dosage of Ren Shen, and administer it continuously for two doses. Only then will Qi and Blood become robust, Spirit will recover, and the Jue syndrome will cease spontaneously. If thirst persists after taking the medicine, prepare Shengmai San (Generate Pulse Powder) with a heavy dose of Ginseng to replace tea, assisting Jin Ye (Body Fluids) to treat Zang Zao (Visceral Agitation). This is a verified empirical conclusion; do not raise objections. Although there may be cold limbs, diarrhea, or dysentery resembling Yin syndromes of Shanghan (Cold Damage), making Si Ni Tang (Frigid Extremities Decoction) difficult to apply, one must still use Shenghua Tang with doubled Ren Shen, assisted by Zhi Jiang (Honey-fried Dried Ginger), or add one slice of Fu Zi (Aconite Lateralis Radix Praeparata). This can restore Yang, stop rebellion, and enhance the efficacy of Ren Shen and Dang Gui. The *Classic* states: "The Spleen is the solitary organ. The four directions refer to the Heart, Liver, Lung, and Kidney." It also says: "Physical labor and hardship damage the Spleen." And again: "Rebellious Jue Qi rises and fills [the chest]." Two prescriptions are established for sequential use:
**Jiashen Shenghua Tang (Ginseng-Enhanced Decoction for Generating New Blood)**
Indications: Postpartum Jue syndrome (fainting/collapse).
Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizoma) (2 qian)
Dang Gui (Angelica Sinensis Radix) (4 qian)
Gan Cao (Glycyrrhiza Uralensis Radix et Rhizoma) (4 fen, honey-fried)
Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) (4 fen, charred)
Ren Shen (Panax Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) (2 qian)
Tao Ren (Prunus Persica Semen) (10 grains, skin and tip removed)
Add two red dates (Jujubae Fructus), decoct in water, and take continuously for two doses.
Note: If Jue syndrome occurs with persistent abdominal mass pain (lochia retention), Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) and Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) should not be added.
**Zirong Yiqi Fushen Tang (Nourishing Blood, Boosting Qi, and Restoring Spirit Decoction)**
Indications: Postpartum Jue syndrome without abdominal mass pain.
Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizoma) (1 qian)
Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) (1 qian)
Huang Qi (Astragali Membranacei Radix) (1 qian)
Ren Shen (Panax Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma)
Dang Gui (Angelica Sinensis Radix) (3 qian each)
Huai Di Huang (Rehmanniae Glutinosae Radix Praeparata) (2 qian, soaked in wine, steamed)
Gan Cao (Glycyrrhiza Uralensis Radix et Rhizoma) (4 fen, honey-fried)
Mai Dong (Ophiopogonis Japonici Rhizoma) (5 qian)
Wu Wei Zi (Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus) (10 grains)
Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) (4 fen)
Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) (5 fen)
Decoct in water.
Modifications: If sweating is excessive, add Ma Huang Gen (Ephedrae Herbae Radix) and Suan Zao Ren (Ziziphi Spinosae Semen) (1 qian each); if constipation occurs, add Rou Cong Rong (Cistanches Herba) (2 qian).
Generally, postpartum fainting (Yun) and Jue syndrome are similar; both result from the simultaneous exhaustion of Qi and Blood, where the Spirit is about to depart and vital functions are nearly halted, leaving only a thread of life. Unless urgent prescriptions are taken urgently, how can the nearly extinct Yuan Shen (Original Spirit) be rescued? However, fainting occurring during delivery is more acute than Jue syndrome. It is advisable to frequently administer Jiashen Shenghua Tang for several doses to first replenish the deficiency in the Blood aspect. Subsequently, lochia will resolve, Blood will flourish, Spirit will clarify, and fainting will cease. If there are no signs of sweat-induced collapse, rapid breathing, or physical depletion, adding Ren Shen and Huang Qi is unnecessary. Jue syndrome occurs after delivery, characterized by dual exhaustion of Qi and Blood. One should use Shenghua Tang with doubled Ren Shen to tonify the deficiency of Qi and Blood, stop Jue, and restore Spirit. This cannot be cured merely by tonifying the Blood aspect alone. In treatment, one must recognize that if fainting is accompanied by mass pain, Bai Shao, Bai Zhu, and Ren Shen should not be rashly added. Conversely, for treating Jue syndrome without mass pain, the combined use of Bai Shao, Bai Zhu, and Di Huang is undoubtedly appropriate.
