Jaundice can occur in healthy individuals, but it is more severe postpartum and often leads to untreatable conditions. This is because Jia-Yi Wood (associated with the Liver and Gallbladder) belongs to the East, representing the vital energy that nourishes all things. The Gallbladder belongs to the Foot-Shaoyang meridian, which is a half-exterior, half-interior channel.
If external Wind-Cold invades and binds the meridians internally, and medical treatment is improper, Cold-Dampness enters the Gallbladder. Over time, it stagnates and transforms into Heat, disturbing and damaging the "Clear Palace" (Gallbladder), forcing bile out. The bile permeates the hair follicles and pores, turning yellow. In severe cases, sweat, eyes, and stool may turn yellow like golden juice, making treatment very difficult. The appropriate treatment is Jiajian Yindan Decoction (Modified Yin-Gallbladder Decoction). For those with Yang deficiency, add Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) components (Guizhi/Cinnamomi Ramulus and Fuzii Radix Preparata); for Yin deficiency, add Danggui Sheng (Radix Angelicae Sinensis body) and Shudihuang (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata); for slight heat, add Danpi (Moutan Cortex).
Jiajian Yindan Decoction (Modified Yin-Gallbladder Decoction)
Renshen (2 qian)
Chaihu (1 qian)
Baishao (0.8 qian, stir-fried with wine)
Zhigancao (0.8 qian, honey-fried)
Ganjiang (1 qian)
Faxia (1 qian)
Xidangshen (3 qian, stir-fried with ginger juice)
Take ten doses; the condition will resolve spontaneously. Avoid using cold-clearing herbs such as Yinchen (Artemisiae Scopariae Herba). If unable to afford Renshen, substitute with Huangqi (1 qian).
Postpartum continuous sweating arises from labor injuring the Spleen, fright injuring the Heart, and anger injuring the Liver. In these three cases, one should not immediately administer astringent antiperspirant drugs. Instead, calming the Spirit (Shen) will naturally stop the sweating. Furthermore, if there is pain due to blood stasis masses, Ezhu (Curcumae Rhizoma) and Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) should not be added hastily. Generally, after delivery, if sweating occurs, first administer two doses of Shenghua Tang (Life-Restoring Decoction) to eliminate blood stasis, followed immediately by Tiaowei Zhihan Tang (Regulating Defense and Stopping Sweat Decoction). If exhaustion is severe with profuse sweating, and both spirit and complexion are depleted, this is "Yang Collapse with Sweat Loss." One must not adhere strictly to standard methods; instead, use Canqi Tiaowei Tang (Ginseng and Astragalus Regulating Defense Decoction) as an emergency measure. Once the mother regains some vitality, reduce the dosage of Ginseng and Astragalus to address blood stasis pain. If excessive sweating leads to Yin exhaustion and Yang weakness, causing tendon constriction, neck stiffness, locked jaw, teeth clenching, and convulsions resembling Shaoyang-Jingue (Spasm Syndrome of Cold Damage), do not treat it as Cold Damage. Instead, use Jiawei Shenghua Tang (Modified Life-Restoring Decoction) adjusted according to symptoms. Although sweating is divided into spontaneous sweating and night sweats, treatment should simultaneously regulate the Blood level, and Jiawei Shenghua Tang is suitable. Other formulas are generally unsuitable for postpartum night sweats. If large doses of Renshen and Huangqi are taken yet sweating remains uncontrollable, or if head and face sweating is incessant accompanied by cyanosis of the waist and feet, the condition is untreatable.
Tiaowei Zhihan Tang (Regulating Defense and Stopping Sweat Decoction)
Zhimahuanggen (Rhizoma Imperatae, processed)
Danggui (each 1 qian)
Renshen (dosage adjusted to symptoms)
Fangfeng (0.3 qian)
Guizhi
Zhigancao (each 0.5 qian)
Dazao (2 pieces)
Decoct in water. If sweating is excessive with thirst, add Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix) and Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus). If excessive sweating depletes fluids leading to difficult urination, do not use diuretic drugs. If the mother has much phlegm, avoid Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) and Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens); only Ju Hong (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Rubrum, 0.4 qian) may be used.
Canqi Tiaowei Tang (Ginseng and Astragalus Regulating Defense Decoction - Emergency Use)
Renshen (3 qian)

Yuanzao (2 pieces)
Decoct in water. Contraindicated: Banxia, Shengjiang, Chaihu, Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix), Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma), Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex). If sweating is incessant indicating decline of True Yang and failure of Defensive Yang to secure the exterior, add Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata), Chao Suanzaoren (Ziziphi Spinosae Semen, fried), Ye Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), and Muli Fen (Concha Ostreae powder). Using a heavy dose of Zhi Huangqi (Processed Astragali Radix) is best.

If phlegm is present, add Zhuli (Bambusa Textilis Caulis Sap) and Jiangzhi (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens Juice). Avoid scallion, leek, and spicy-hot foods.
