Postpartum excessive sweating accompanied by symptoms resembling spasm (spasmodic disease), manifesting as trismus (lockjaw) where the mouth cannot open, rigidity and straightness of the back, opisthotonos (arching of the back), and breathlessness as if lifeless, is caused by blood loss and profuse sweating followed by wind-pathogen invasion. One should quickly administer Modified Shenghua Decoction (Modified Birth-Transforming Decoction) with a small amount of wind-dispelling herbs. By nourishing Yin, Yang will harmonize naturally; when blood circulation resumes, wind will extinguish itself. It is strictly forbidden to use only wind-dispelling herbs, which would cause blood dryness to worsen, leading to malnourishment of sinews and resulting in an incurable condition.

This is due to blood deficiency; therefore, Chuanxiong and Dangui should be used in heavy doses.

Postpartum diarrhea differs from miscellaneous diseases; it does not follow the classifications of undigested stool diarrhea (Xunxie), soft diarrhea (Ruxie), hole diarrhea (Dongxie), or watery/grain diarrhea. Generally, it belongs to Qi deficiency, food stagnation, and dampness.
Qi stagnation requires tonification, food stagnation requires resolution, and spleen dampness requires drying. However, since lochia (postpartum discharge) has not yet cleared, sudden harsh tonification is difficult. For resolution and drying, one should first take two or three doses of Shenghua Decoction to transform old blood and generate new blood, adding Poria (Fuling) internally to promote urination. Only after blood transformation and generation are complete should one proceed to tonify Qi, resolve food, dry dampness, and separate fluids to drain water channels, thereby avoiding errors of obstruction and further depletion. If more than ten days have passed, treatment may follow the principles for miscellaneous diseases, adjusting according to the patient's deficiency or excess. For example, if there is painful passage of clear water, borborygmus, and inability to digest rice water, treat as cold diarrhea. If feces are red-yellow with anal pain and constipation, treat as hot diarrhea. Some cases arise from overeating damaging the spleen, naturally accompanied by belching with a foul odor like rotten eggs. Others involve long-term spleen Qi deficiency and poor appetite; after eating, borborygmus and abdominal urgency occur, and relief is felt only after all ingested matter is expelled. Although symptoms vary, treatments include warming for cold, clearing for heat, separating fluids and strengthening the spleen for spleen injury and food stagnation, combining resolution and tonification, focusing on deficiency as the root. This constitutes proper management.

Zhu Danxi treated critical postpartum deficiency diarrhea with blurred vision and inability to recognize people using:
Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome (Baizhu, 3 qian), Ginseng Root (Renshen, 7 qian), Poria (Fuling, 3 qian), Aconite Lateral Root (Fuzi, 1 qian).
Decoct in water.

Modified Shenghua Decoction (Modified Birth-Transforming Decoction): For postpartum blood stasis masses that have not yet resolved.
Chuanxiong Rhizome (2 qian), Angelica Sinensis Root (4 qian), Prepared Ginger (Paojiang), Peach Kernel (Taoren, 10 grains), Honey-fried Licorice Root (Zhigancao, 5 fen), Poria (2 qian), Lotus Seed (Lianzi, 8 seeds).

Spleen-Strengthening and Water-Draining Shenghua Decoction: For postpartum blood stasis masses that have already resolved.
Angelica Sinensis Root (2 qian), Chuanxiong Rhizome (1 qian), Dried Ginger (Ganjiang, 4 fen), Poria (1.5 qian), Ginseng Root (3 qian), Myristica Seed (Rouguo, 1 seed, processed), Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome (1 qian, soaked in rice water), Tangerine Peel (Chenpi, 5 fen), Alisma Rhizome (Zexie, 8 fen).

For cold diarrhea, add Dried Ginger (8 fen). For cold-induced abdominal pain and diarrhea, add Amomum Fruit (Sharen, 8 fen) and Dried Ginger (4 fen). For hot diarrhea, add Coptis Rhizome (Huanglian, 8 fen), stir-fried with wine. For watery diarrhea with abdominal pain and indigestion of rice water, add Amomum Fruit, Hawthorn Fruit (Shanzha), and Malt (Maiya). For diarrhea with sour, putrid odor, add Medicated Leaven (Shenqu, 8 fen), Amomum Fruit (8 fen), Hawthorn Fruit, and Malt (5 fen). For long-term spleen Qi deficiency where diarrhea consists of undigested food and relief follows expulsion, treat as food stagnation: add Hawthorn Fruit, Malt, Medicated Leaven, and Amomum Fruit. For weak spleen Qi, deficient Yuan Qi, and severe postpartum exhaustion, major tonification is necessary, assisted by resolving food, clearing heat, and dispelling cold. If weakness is extreme with physical collapse, Zhu Danxi’s Ginseng-Poria-Atractylodes-Aconite Formula must be used for major tonification to restore life. For chronic diarrhea, add Cimicifuga Rhizome (Shengma). For all types of diarrhea, add 10 Lotus Seeds, decocted separately to take with the medicine. For excessive watery diarrhea, add Atractylodes Lancea Rhizome (Cangzhu, 1 qian) to dry dampness.
