First, boil the mutton and remove the dregs; then decoct the herbs in the broth. Divide into four doses: three during the day and one at night. This formula treats abdominal pain occurring three days postpartum, with effects of tonifying the Middle and benefiting Qi, and resolving Lin syndrome (difficulty or obstruction in urination). If Wind-Heat is present, remove Ren Shen, Di Huang, and Rou Gui, and add Fang Feng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix), and Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens).
