Treats women whose Tian Gui (menstrual blood) has passed its expected time, with irregular menstruation, either not coming for three or four months, or coming twice in one month, accompanied by pain in the waist and abdomen. The *Su Wen* states "Seven losses and eight benefits." This means that when a woman reaches the age of forty-nine (the number of seven sevens) and her menstruation does not occur on time, it is due to an excess of blood. It should not be forcibly stopped; rather, the best approach is to ensure it occurs on time without causing lower back pain.
Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) (washed, remove rhizome, slice thinly, dry by baking, weigh) Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizoma) (washed) Bai Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix) (remove bark, each chopped and stir-fried, one liang each) Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) (half liang) Shan Zhu Yu (Corni Fructus) (one and a half liang, use with seeds)
Grind the above into fine powder. Take two qian per dose, mixed with wine, taken on an empty stomach before meals, three times a day. If the constitution is cold, remove Huang Qin and add Gui Zhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) one liang.
Treats women's Zang Zao (Visceral Dryness syndrome).
Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (three liang, honey-fried) Xiao Mai (Tritici Levis Fructus) (one sheng) Da Zao (Ziziphi Jujubae Fructus) (ten pieces)
Chop the above ingredients, boil in six sheng of water until reduced to three sheng, strain, and take warm, divided into three doses. This also tonifies Spleen Qi. In my hometown, there was a woman who frequently yawned and stretched. She would weep sorrowfully without reason but could not cry out fully; this condition is extremely subtle and rare.
Treats febrile disease during pregnancy with a dead fetus retained in the uterus.
Lu Jiao Xie (Cervi Cornu Degelatinatum) one liang, one bowl of water, five stalks of Cong Bai (Allii Fistulosi Bulbus), Dou Chi (Sojae Semen Preparatum) half he, decoct together until reduced to six parts, strain, take warm, divided into two doses.
Formula for treating women whose labor has lasted several days without delivery, or where the placenta or dead fetus is not expelled.
Use seven Castor Seeds (Ricini Semen), remove shells, grind into a paste, apply to the sole of the foot. Wash off immediately after the fetus is delivered. This is from Cui Yuanliang's *Hai Shang Fang*. People simply do not know it. During the Zhenghe era, a villager's wife had not delivered after two days. I advised her to try it. After application, the fetus was delivered shortly thereafter. It has been used frequently since then with excellent results.
When examining pediatric pulses, one should use the thumb to palpate the Cun, Guan, and Chi positions. Six or seven beats per breath indicate a balanced pulse; ten beats per breath indicate fever; five beats per breath indicate internal cold. A tight pulse indicates Feng Xian (Wind Epilepsy), Suo (spiritual affliction), Chao Re (tidal fever); a wiry and urgent pulse; a chaotic pulse; a floating pulse; common red pulse; Wind pathogen, etc.
Treats various conditions in children such as Jing Gan (Startling Malnutrition), Shi Ji (Food Stagnation), and Feng Xian (Wind Epilepsy).
Shi Jun Zi (Quisqualis Fructus) (fifty pieces, burned until carbonized but retaining nature) Xiang Mo (Ink Stick) (size of a jujube) Jin Yin Bo (Gold and Silver Leaf) (five pieces each) Ni Fen (Calomelas) (two qian)
First grind Shi Jun Zi and Xiang Mo finely. Then place Jin Yin Bo in a mortar and grind together. Next, add Ni Fen and a small amount of She Xiang (Moschus) and grind until extremely fine and uniform. Make pills using thin starch paste, sized like tung seeds, and dry in the shade. Take one pill per dose, ground down with Bo He Tang (Menthae Haplocalycis Herba Decoction). For infants under one year old, take half a pill. Also known as Qing Jin Dan (Green Golden Pill). In my hometown, a scholar's family sold this medicine daily earning thousands of coins, a practice continuing for over a hundred years.
