(For palpitations, insomnia, and forgetfulness, the treatment is the same as for constant palpitations.)
Gao Gufeng stated: Constant palpitations are caused by blood deficiency. The root cause lies in insufficient Kidney Water (Jing/Essence), which fails to ascend, thereby preventing Heart Fire from descending. Treatment should employ a large dose of Guipi Tang (Restore the Spleen Decoction), removing Xiangru (Costus Root) and adding Maidong (Ophiopogon Tuber), Wuweizi (Schisandra Berry), and Gouqi (Goji Berry), while swallowing Duqi Wan (Duqi Pill). If the palpitations are of an excess type, accompanied by an excess fire in the Pericardium (Bao Luo) and phlegm, add Shengdi Huang (Rehmannia Root), Huanglian (Coptis Rhizome), and Chuan Bei Mu (Fritillaria Bulb) to clear heat and resolve phlegm.
Note: The treatment for this condition is summarized in just a few sentences. This is due to extensive reading and clinical experience, allowing for concise yet essential guidance. Hu Nianzai further supplemented symptoms such as stomach collaterals failing to connect upwards, spleen pulse failing to enter the heart, deficiency of Zong Qi (Pectoral Qi) causing movement at the Xuli acupoint, Water Qi overwhelming the Heart, and Ben Tun (Rushing Pig) ascending. The treatment methods are not significantly different. However, Water Qi overwhelming the Heart and Ben Tun require distinct treatments. I believe that for Water Qi overwhelming the Heart, mild cases are treated with Xiao Banxia Tang (Minor Pinellia Decoction) with doubled Fuling (Poria) to drain water; severe cases use Fuling Guizhi Gancao Dazao Tang (Poria, Cinnamon Twig, Licorice, and Jujube Decoction) to calm the spirit; even more severe cases use Zhenwu Tang (True Warrior Decoction) to suppress it. ○ As for Ben Tun (Rushing Pig), treat with Guizhi Jia Gui Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction plus Cinnamon Twig) to drain pathogenic factors, or Heixi Dan (Black Tin Pill) to suppress it, or Fuling Guizhi Gancao Dazao Tang to moderate it. Ben Tun Tang from *Jin Gui Yao Lue* also has its significance, and Wumei Wan (Mume Pill) can also be borrowed.
Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill) added with Wuweizi (Schisandra Berry) is named Duqi Wan. (14)
Women's diseases are the same as men's, except for menstruation, leukorrhea, pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum conditions, which have specific treatment methods.
For pregnant women suffering from Shang Han (Cold Damage) or miscellaneous diseases, Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) serves as the main formula. For those without sweat, add Mahuang (Ephedra Herb) and Xixin (Asarum Root); for those with sweat, add Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig) and Gancao (Licorice Root); for alternating chills and fever, add Chaihu (Bupleurum Root) and Huangqin (Scutellaria Root); for dry nose and insomnia, add Shengma (Cimicifuga Rhizome), Gegen (Kudzu Root), Dahuang (Rhubarb Root), Mangxiao (Mirabilite), Ganjiang (Dried Ginger), and Fuzi (Aconite Root). These can be added according to symptoms. The ancient "Liuhe Siwu Tang" (Six Harmonies Four Substances Decoction) has been discussed in detail.
For a pregnant woman concerned about medication affecting the fetus, earth from the center of a stove was ground into powder, mixed with water, and applied to the epigastrium and below the navel. It was changed when dry.
During the second or third month of pregnancy, nausea and vomiting are inevitable because menstrual flow has ceased, causing Stomach Yang Qi to become congested and rise upward. This usually resolves spontaneously by the fourth or fifth month. If the condition is severe, [the text here appears incomplete/missing specific herbs]...
Vaginal bleeding during pregnancy is called "Tai Lou" (Fetal Leakage), caused by Qi deficiency failing to control blood. Frequent administration of Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) is recommended. If caused by anger injuring the Liver, Jiawei Xiaoyao San (Modified Free and Easy Wanderer Powder) with added Shengdi Huang (Rehmannia Root) is suitable.
Restless fetus is due to blood deficiency failing to nourish the fetus. Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) should be used, removing Chuanxiong (Szechwan Lovage Rhizome) and adding Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome) and Duzhong (Eucommia Bark). If there is internal heat, add Huangqin (Scutellaria Root). If abdominal pain occurs frequently with cold signs, add Chuanjiao (Sichuan Pepper). This herb is rarely used today, but *Jin Gui Yao Lue* uses it to secure the fetus.
Patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion invariably miscarry at expected intervals, generally belonging to severe Qi and Blood deficiency. I was previously misled by Zhu Danxi's theory, regarding Huangqin (Scutellaria Root) and Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome) as sacred medicines for securing the fetus. My wife suffered from this, and after taking them five times over four years, she miscarried each time. Later, an old physician secured the fetus using Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) added with Luzhijiao (Deer Antler Glue), Buguzhi (Psoralea Fruit), Tusizi (Cuscuta Seed), Duzhong (Eucommia Bark), and Chuanduxuan (Dipsacus Root). I then realized that the Mingmen (Gate of Life) is the foundation of human life, and for women, it anchors the uterus. Only warm and hot medicines are effective. Zhao Xike's *Yi Guan* (Medical Canon), which adds Aiye (Mugwort Leaf) and Ejiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin) to Liuwei Dihuang Wan and Bawei Dihuang Wan, shows profound insight. For those who cannot tolerate harsh warm medicines, use Duzhong (Eucommia Bark) eight liang, soaked in glutinous rice soup, stir-fried until not burnt, and taken as powder; Zhen Sangshang Jisheng (Mulberry Mistletoe), Renshen (Ginseng Root), and Wuweizi (Schisandra Berry) four liang each as powder; Huangqi (Astragalus Root) one jin, Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome) and Dazao (Jujube Fruit) six liang each, boiled into a paste to make pills. Take four qian with rice soup, twice a day. This yields miraculous effects.
For fetal edema, use Wupi San (Five Peel Powder) with added Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome). For fetal cough, use Erchen Tang (Two Aged Decoction) with added Ejiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin), Maidong (Ophiopogon Tuber), Sangbaipi (Mulberry Root Bark), Wuweizi (Schisandra Berry), Ganjiang (Dried Ginger), and Xixin (Asarum Root). For fetal suspension (chest/abdominal distension), use Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction), removing Chuanxiong (Szechwan Lovage Rhizome) and adding Huangqin (Scutellaria Root), Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome), and Gancao (Licorice Root). For fetal diarrhea, use Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) and Sijunzi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) with added Huangqin (Scutellaria Root) and Sharen (Amomum Fruit).
At delivery, if the giao bone (pubic symphysis) does not open, use Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction), removing Shaoyao (Peony Root) and Dihuang (Rehmannia Root), and adding Fac Tan (Hair Charcoal) three qian and Guiban (Turtle Shell) five qian, decocted in water. If profuse bloody discharge occurs without delivery, this indicates blood exhaustion and fetal stagnation due to Qi deficiency lacking pushing power. Use Danggui Buxue Tang (Angelica Tonifying Blood Decoction) with added Renshen (Ginseng Root) and Rougui (Cinnamon Bark) one qian each. In severe cases, remove Rougui and add Fuzi (Aconite Root) three qian. This method is neglected by contemporary physicians.
For postpartum blood syncope, fumigate the nose with vinegar-treated charcoal and drink aged wine mixed with children's urine. Do not lay the patient flat or inverted. If syncope is due to Qi and Blood collapse, lips, mouth, hands, and feet will be cold. Use Danggui Buxue Tang (Angelica Tonifying Blood Decoction) with added Renshen (Ginseng Root), Fuzi (Aconite Root), and Ganjiang (Dried Ginger) to restore Yang. In severe cases, Tongmai Sini Tang (Unblock the Pulse Sini Decoction) is mandatory. If mistakenly treated as blood-stasis syncope, [the text implies adverse consequences, though specific words are missing]...
For retained placenta, use Danggui Shen (Angelica Sinensis Body) five qian and Chuanxiong (Szechwan Lovage Rhizome) three qian, decocted in water. If blood enters the placenta causing distension and retention, administer Shixiao San (Pain-Stopping Powder) delivered with clear wine.
For postpartum fever, if caused by external pathogens, treat according to standard methods. If no external pathogen is present, use Danggui Buxue Tang (Angelica Tonifying Blood Decoction).
For pain from blood masses, use Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) with doubled Danggui (Angelica Sinensis Root), remove Dihuang (Rehmannia Root), and add Niuxi (Achyranthes Root), Taoren (Peach Kernel), Rougui (Cinnamon Bark), Qingpi (Tangerine Peel), and Cu Chao Dahuang (Vinegar-processed Rhubarb Root) to purge the stasis.
For postpartum diarrhea, do not use diuretics; only modify Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction).
For postpartum constipation, use Bazhen Tang (Eight Treasures Decoction) with added Taoren (Peach Kernel) and Xingren (Apricot Seed).
Uterine prolapse is caused by labor injury. Use Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) with added Fuzi (Aconite Root). Yu Men (vaginal opening) failure to close is treated similarly.
For postpartum abdominal pain due to stagnant blood, use Danggui (Angelica Sinensis Root) four qian, Chuanxiong (Szechwan Lovage Rhizome) two qian, Paojiang (Prepared Ginger) and Zhigancao (Honey-fried Licorice Root) one qian each, and Tao Ren (Peach Kernel) seven seeds. This is named Shenghua Tang (Life Generation Decoction).
For postpartum wind-induced spasms with locked jaw and opisthotonos: If without sweat, it is called Gang Jing (Stiff Spasm). Use Jingjie Sui (Schizonepeta Spike) one liang, decocted in children's urine for administration. Or use Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) with added Gegen (Kudzu Root) three qian. If with sweat, it is called Rou Jing (Flexible Spasm). Use Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) with added Gualou Gen (Trichosanthes Root) three qian. For these spasms attributed to deficiency, use Shiquan Dabu Tang (Complete Great Tonifying Decoction) with added [text incomplete]...
For postpartum panting with black qi arising from the mouth and nose, this indicates blood stasis entering the lungs, which is incurable. Alternatively, use Renshen (Ginseng Root) one liang and Sumu (Sappan Wood) three qian, decocted and taken in one dose. If accompanied by cold limbs and spontaneous sweating, Tongmai Sini Tang (Unblock the Pulse Sini Decoction) must be used for two to three doses. Once limbs warm and pulse returns, treatment is possible.
