Some asked: "In women who have just given birth, the good blood (normal blood) is already deficient, and the stasis blood remains. Is Heishen San not an essential medicine?" I replied: "The Kun Yuan (the creative power of Earth that generates all things) is profound; all things rely on it for life, which is the constant principle. However, in women who have just given birth, the good blood may not necessarily be deficient, the foul blood (lochia) may not necessarily accumulate, and the Zang-Fu organs are certainly not cold. What medicine should be used? By diligently caring for diet and daily life, what illness would there be? Indeed, if there is retained foul blood, physical weakness, and cold signs, administering a few doses is also a simple method. But if other diseases exist, one must seek the cause of the illness, determine which meridian is affected, treat Qi disorders by regulating Qi, treat Blood disorders by regulating Blood, warm the cold, clear the heat, move stagnation, tonify deficiency, and stop excessive bleeding. Why cling to the formula prepared by Haicang (Zhang Yuansu, styled Haicang) without regard for the patient's condition? This formula disregards the actual situation, potentially causing disease where none exists. That Heishen San uses the warming properties of Ganjiang (Dried Ginger) and Danggui (Angelica Sinensis), the sweet and cooked nature of Heidou (Black Soybean), and the slightly cold nature of Dihuang (Rehmannia Root) to tonify Blood deficiency; assists with the sweetness of Chaopuhuang (Stir-fried Spore of Lygodium Sporangium) to prevent excessive bleeding; utilizes the sour and cold nature of Shaoyao (Peony Root) for its astringent and dispersing effects as an aid to the aforementioned four herbs; employs Guigui (Cinnamon Twig) for its acrid and hot nature to move stagnant Qi and push out coagulated blood; and harmonizes with Gancao (Licorice Root) for its moderating effect. Its composition seems precise. However, expelling pathogens and tonifying deficiency seem difficult to treat simultaneously in one formula. Suppose there are those with irritable temperaments, thin constitutions, pre-existing fire-anger, or those giving birth in summer when fire regulations are prevalent; Ganjiang and Guigui are then contraindicated medicines. The warning in the Analects regarding 'not understanding' applies; who will bear the blame? As for postpartum care methods, they are even more contrary to reason. Meat broth can ignite fire in the Yin meridians, easily leading to internal injury diseases, as warned by ancient sages. Why consume thick broths of mutton and chicken as porridge, and constantly take Danggui Wan (Angelica Pill), Danggui Jianzhong Tang (Angelica Decoction to Build the Middle), and Sishun Lizhong Wan (Four Smooth Decoction to Warm the Middle)? Although these are nourishing agents, they all violate the principles by using overly heating agents like Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig), Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root), and Ganjiang (Dried Ginger). If the Zang-Fu organs are not cold, how can they tolerate this? Regarding the newborn, when the mother's abdomen suddenly expands after birth, eating eggs and Huoyan (fire salt) immediately is unwise. One fails to consider that eggs are hard to digest and Huoyan promotes heat, leading to illness through progression. Physicians, failing to recognize this, often misdiagnose other syndromes and prescribe rashly, do they not harm people? Whenever I see postpartum women without illness, I instruct them to discard Heishen San, eggs, Huoyan, and various meat foods, providing only white rice porridge. During nursing, occasionally offer Shishouyu (Croaker fish), boiled until mild and bland, continuing this for half a month before introducing small amounts of meat. If eggs are consumed, they must be cracked and boiled plainly, which greatly nourishes the Stomach and prevents disease. Those from wealthy families or indulgent women who suddenly develop leukorrhea, Toufeng (head wind/headache), Qi pain, chest fullness, phlegm rebellion, dry mouth, irregular menstruation, hair loss, and body heat—all these are diseases of Yang excess and Yin deficiency. Naturally, Qi and Blood are originally balanced. How do we know that 'excess' and 'deficiency' are not triggered by such absurd and reckless practices? Thus ends Ju Fang Fa Hui."
