Postpartum panting and shortness of breath, if there is no cold pathogen in the Lung but only panting and shortness of breath are observed, this is due to blood loss causing Yin deficiency, with lone Yang having no master (anchor), thus Qi becomes exhausted and short. This indicates Liver and Kidney depletion, with the Yuan Sea (root of Qi) lacking a foundation, representing a sign of collapse; it is an extremely critical condition, suitable for Zhenyuan Yin (True Origin Decoction). If Qi deficiency is accompanied by cold, Dabu Yuanyin (Great Tonification of the Original Source Decoction) is suitable. If there is external contraction of Wind-Cold, with pathogenic factors entering the Lung causing panting and shortness of breath, this must be accompanied by coarse breathing, chest distension, or frequent coughing. Treatment should involve dispersing and supplementing simultaneously, suitable for Liujunzi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction). If Cold pathogen enters the Lung, causing Qi excess and stagnation, while the body originally has no deficiency, Liu'an Jian (Six Comforts Infusion) is suitable.
