血
经络通。心痛自止。若误以为有所伤治之。则虚极寒益甚矣。心痛乍歇乍甚。心之支别络为
邪所伤也。若邪伤心之正经。心络寒甚。则变为真心痛。朝发夕死。夕发朝死。所以然者。
心为诸脏之主。不受邪伤。邪伤即死。药不可轻用也。

Postpartum heart pain occurs because the Heart governs blood vessels. When latent cold and accumulated chill reside within the body, and due to the deficiency of the Zang-Fu organs after childbirth, wind-cold pathogens invade and contend with Qi and Blood.
When the meridians and collaterals are unobstructed, heart pain ceases naturally. If mistakenly treated as an injury by a tangible pathogen, the deficiency becomes extreme, and the cold intensifies further.
Heart pain that comes and goes is caused by evil affecting the branch collaterals of the Heart. If the evil damages the main meridians of the Heart, and the cold in the Heart collaterals is severe, it transforms into *Zhen Xin Tong* (True Heart Pain). Death may occur from morning to evening or from evening to morning. This is because the Heart is the master of all Zang-Fu organs and does not accept evil damage; once damaged, death ensues. Medicines should not be used lightly.
Formulas
**Da Yan Mi Tang** (Great Rock Honey Decoction): Treats postpartum heart pain, Qi deficiency, and old cold contending with blood, rushing up to the Heart collaterals. This is not *Zhen Xin Tong*.
Sheng Gan Di Huang (Raw Dried Rehmanniae Radix, alternatively Shu Di Huang), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Du Huo (Angelicae Pubescentis Radix), Wu Zhu Yu (Evodiae Fructus), Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix), Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Gui Xin (Cinnamomi Cortex). (Hu Qia's formula excludes Gui Xin; Du Huo and Gan Cao are ground into powder, half liang taken per dose.)
Comment: Postpartum heart pain, while not a common disease of the lying-in period, does occasionally occur. Long-standing pain is not necessarily blood stasis pain. Even if it were blood stasis pain, could Da Yan Mi Tang be used? Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmanniae Radix), Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) three liang. Xi Xin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma) treats retained cold in the Lower Jiao. The original formula uses one liang, but reduces it to half liang. This follows the principles of odd and even formulations, measured by the depth of the disease, with fixed proportions; arbitrary additions or subtractions are inadvisable. However, for treating blood stasis pain with Da Yan Mi Tang, Shi Xiao San (Laughing Powder) is more effective. Another version lacks Gan Cao and honey.
**Shu Jiao Tang** (Sichuan Pepper Decoction): Treats postpartum heart pain caused by severe cold.
Shu Jiao (Sichuan Peppercorn), Shao Yao, Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma), Dang Gui, Gui Xin, Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), Fu Ling (Poria), Gan Cao (one fen, roasted until slightly red).

Qing Ju Pi (Green Tangerine Peel, soaked in hot water, pith removed, dried, three fen, crushed), Mu Xiang (Aucklandiae Radix), Peng E Zhu (Curcumae Phaeocaulis Rhizoma), Wu Yao (Linderae Radix) (each three fen), Gan Jiang (half liang, processed until cracked, crushed), Gui Xin.
