血气。赵和叔传。
治妇人病多是月经乍多乍少,或前或后,时发疼痛,医者一例呼为经病,不曾说得是阴
胜阳,是阳胜阴,所以服药少得有效。盖阴气乘阳,则胞寒气冷,血不营运,经所谓天寒地
冻,水凝成冰,故令乍少,而在月后。若阳气乘阴,则血流散溢,经所谓天暑地热,经水沸
溢,故令乍多,而在月前。当和其阴阳,调其血气,使不相乘,以平为福。

The *Classic* states: "If food intake doubles, the intestines and stomach will be injured." It also states: "The generation of Yin is harmed by the five flavors. The five Yin organs are damaged by the five flavors."
Drinking this formula during pregnancy is the most stable and expedient method.
To treat disordered fetal Qi in pregnancy, where the fetus feels high, causing abdominal distension and pain, known as "Zi Xuan" (Fetal Suspension). Also treats fright during labor, where Qi stagnation prevents delivery for several days.
Da Fu Pi (Arecae Pericarpium), Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, remove rhizome), Chuan Xiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma, washed), Chen Ju Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, remove white pith), Bai Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), each 0.5 liang; Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, washed, remove rhizome, thinly sliced, 3 qian); Zi Su Jing Ye (Perillae Caulis et Folium, 1 liang); Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 1 qian, honey-fried).
Cut all ingredients finely. Divide into three doses. For each dose, use 1.5 sheng of water, 4 slices of Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens), and 7 cun of Cong Bai (Allii Fistulosi Bulbus). Decoct until reduced to 0.7 sheng, strain, and take on an empty stomach.
Once, a woman failed to deliver despite multiple attempts and various parturition-inducing medicines. I said: "This must be due to sitting on the birth mat too early, causing fear and Qi stagnation," not due to deficiency of Qi and Blood.
Gui Mo (Cinnamomi Cortex powder), 2 qian; She Xiang (Moschus), one "Dang Men Zi" (the best quality piece from the musk pod). Grind together, take with warm wine. Within a short while, the fetus will descend as if pushed by hand. This formula does not use mercury or other toxic substances. It does not damage Qi and Blood. Transmitted by Zhao Heshu.
Women's diseases often involve menstrual flow that is suddenly heavy or light, arriving early or late, accompanied by intermittent pain. Physicians generally call this a "menstrual disease" without distinguishing whether Yin overcomes Yang or Yang overcomes Yin, hence treatments are rarely effective. Generally, when Yin Qi overcomes Yang Qi, the uterus becomes cold, and blood circulation fails. As the *Classic* says: "When heaven is cold and earth frozen, water congeals into ice," thus causing scanty flow occurring after the expected date. If Yang Qi overcomes Yin Qi, blood flows and spills excessively. As the *Classic* says: "When heaven is hot and earth warm, menstrual waters boil and overflow," thus causing excessive flow occurring before the expected date. One should harmonize Yin and Yang, regulate Qi and Blood, prevent mutual overcoming, and restore balance for health.
