The Qi of the Heart and Spleen meridians connects to the mouth and tongue. During pregnancy, if the Qi of the Zang-Fu organs is deficient, causing a disharmony of Ying (Nutritive) and Wei (Defensive) Qi, and an isolation of Yin and Yang, heat may invade the Heart and Spleen meridians. This leads to a withering of body fluids, resulting in irritability, dry tongue, and thirst. In such cases, Renshen Xijiao Tang (Ginseng and Rhinoceros Horn Decoction) is indicated. If the condition is due to Excess Fire in the Stomach meridian, Zhuye Shigao Tang (Bamboo Leaf and Gypsum Decoction) is indicated. If it is due to Deficiency Heat in the Stomach meridian, Zhuye Huang San (Bamboo Leaf and Astragalus Powder) is indicated. If it is due to Qi deficiency in the Stomach meridian, Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Decoction to Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi) is indicated (see formula in the "Ziqi" section above), with added Maidong (Ophiopogon Tuber) and Shanzhiren (Gardenia Seed). If it is due to Deficiency Heat in the Lung meridian, Zisu Yin (Perilla Infusion) is indicated.

If it is due to Kidney Fire stirring, Jiawei Dihuang Wan (Modified Rehmannia Pill) is indicated (see formula in the "Pregnancy Hematemesis and Epistaxis" section above). If there is pain in the throat, Jiawei Zhimu San (Modified Anemarrhena Powder) is indicated.
