[Preface]
What is a medical case record? It is merely the diagnosis of illness and the prescription of medicine. Medical literature is voluminous, mostly dealing with miscellaneous diseases of men and women, while those specializing in gynecology are rare. Ms. Gu Yun from our Wu region was a renowned gynecologist. During the Daoguang and Xianfeng reigns, scholars and officials in Wu (Suzhou area) competed to invite her for consultations and held her in high esteem. She authored one volume of "Huayunlou Medical Cases," unfortunately unpublished. Those knowledgeable in medicine occasionally mention it, regretting their inability to obtain it. I have long possessed a manuscript copy of Ms. Gu's cases. Her discussions on treatment are thorough, and her prescriptions are balanced and sound, truly works of experience. Compared to female doctors today, few can match her. I have often wished to print and publish them for the study of gentlemen everywhere, but deeply feel my limited strength has prevented me from fulfilling this wish like Mr. Zhigong and other enthusiasts, leaving me often disheartened. Therefore, I corresponded with Mr. Qi Jisheng of the *Zhongyi Yaoxue Bao* Society, seeking to have it printed to spread its influence. Fortunately, he agreed. From now on, this book will circulate widely throughout the world. Thus, Ms. Gu's compassionate heart for saving lives and benefiting people will not be forgotten, and Mr. Qi's great merit in promoting it will also be immortalized.
Preface by Zhang Yuanrui, courtesy name Yutian, of Wu County, at Qingxuan Study House, Wuchu, in the late winter of the 10th year of the Republic of China (Xinyou).
Case of Patient Wang (Initial Consultation)
After a miscarriage, vaginal bleeding persisted for over a month. The voice was low, breath weak, sleep scanty with dry throat, face and eyes swollen, and paroxysmal dry coughing occurred. This is primarily due to excessive blood loss, presenting a picture of deficiency. The ancients called severe metrorrhagia "Bengzhong" (Central Collapse), where "Zhong" refers to the Spleen and Stomach. Previous prescriptions used purely nourishing and astringent herbs, which were ineffective after long-term use. Why is the principle still not understood? The Liver stores blood, and the Spleen controls blood. When the Spleen loses its function of controlling blood, blood leaks internally continuously. Due to the use of cloying and astringent herbs, stagnation occurs in the collaterals. Hence, sometimes bleeding seems clear, then suddenly large clots like a palm appear successively. The patient feels the mind and spirit have no foundation, limbs are cold, and sweat pours out. The *Classic* states: Yin and Yang are mutually rooted, forming a cycle without end. If Yin seeps downward, Yang floats upward. Can we not worry about the interruption of this pivot? Urgently employ the Guipi Method (Restore the Spleen Decoction approach) as a pillar of support.
Prescription: Codonopsis Root (Dangshen) 3 qian, Processed Atractylodes Rhizome (Baizhu) 1 qian, Tangerine Peel (Chenpi) 0.7 qian, Moutan Cortex Charcoal (Danpitan) 1.5 qian, Astragalus Root (Huangqi) 2 qian, Rehmannia Root Charcoal (Shudihuantan) 5 qian, Sanguisorba Root Charcoal (Yutan) 3 qian, Longan Aril (Guiyuanrou) 3 qian, Angelica Sinensis Root (Guishen) 1 qian, White Peony Root (Baishao) 1.5 qian, Ziziphus Seed (Suanzaoren) 3 qian. Decoct with Lotus Root Flesh (Ourou) 2 liang and Hunan Lotus Seed Meat (Xianglianrou) 5 qian as water substitute.
Case of Patient Wang (Follow-up)
The previous method of replenishing Qi for blood loss, combined with clearing the Ying (Nutritive) level, stopped the paroxysmal metrorrhagia caused by deficient fire. The chest and epigastrium feel comfortable, and there is slight appetite. This shows the error of previously adhering strictly to bitter-cold herbs that close Qi. However, the Liver and Kidney are empty, and the Eight Extraordinary Vessels are jointly deficient. One must fear abdominal distension, leukorrhea leakage, dry cough, and alternating chills and fever. These four symptoms easily appear after metrorrhagia and should be prevented.
Prescription: Ginseng Radicula (Renshenxu) 1.5 qian, Astragalus Root (Huangqi) 1.5 qian, Donkey-hide Gelatin (Ejiao) 2 qian, Sanguisorba Bark (Yutupi) 3 qian, Codonopsis Root (Dangshen) 3 qian, Processed Atractylodes Rhizome (Baizhu) 1.5 qian, Fried Moutan Cortex (Danpi) 1.5 qian, Ziziphus Seed (Suanzaoren) 3 qian, White Peony Root (Baishao) 1.5 qian, Poria (Fuling) 3 qian, Longan Aril (Guiyuanrou) 3 qian, Hunan Lotus Seed Meat (Xianglianrou) 4 qian.
Case of Patient Wang (Follow-up)
Metrorrhagia stopped for three days; spirit and pulse have revived. Dizziness and heat flashes still occur occasionally. Only when Ying-Yin recovers can the wandering pattern of Wind-Yang completely subside.
Prescription: Ginseng Radix (Renshen) 1 qian, Processed Winter Atractylodes (Dongzhu) 1.5 qian, Donkey-hide Gelatin (Ejiao) 2 qian, Oyster Shell (Muli) 5 qian, Ziziphus Seed (Suanzaoren) 3 qian, Astragalus Root (Huangqi) 2 qian, Codonopsis Root (Dangshen) 3 qian, Rehmannia Root Charcoal (Shudihuantan) 4 qian, Fritillaria Bulb (Beimu) 3 qian, White Peony Root (Baishao) 1.5 qian. Add Fresh Lotus Root Flesh 1 liang.
Case of Patient Wang (Follow-up)
Liver-Wind gradually settles, symptoms stabilize, night sleep improves. However, complexion and fingernails are extremely pale. Stomach Qi has awakened, but Spleen transportation is weak; hunger is felt but greasy food cannot be tolerated. Distraction from mental labor and quiet rest for 100 days are needed; recovery of Qi and Blood can be expected.
Prescription: Ginseng Radicula (Renshenxu) 1.5 qian, Processed Atractylodes Rhizome (Baizhu) 1.5 qian, Goji Berry (Gouqizi) 3 qian, Fried Ziziphus Seed (Zaosuanzaoren) 3 qian, Milkvetch Root (Huangqi) 3 qian, Honey-fried Licorice Root (Gancao) 0.4 qian, Donkey-hide Gelatin (Ejiao) 2 qian, Honey-fried Tangerine Peel (Chenpi) 0.7 qian, Longan Aril (Guiyuanrou) 3 qian, Large Black Dates (Heizao) 2 pieces. Add Jian Lotus Seeds 3 qian.
Case of Patient Wang (Follow-up)
Spirit has greatly improved compared to before, lips turning red, sleep and diet are good. Yangming Blood is daily increasing.
Prescription: Codonopsis Root (Dangshen) 3 qian, Fried Ziziphus Seed (Zaosuanzaoren) 3 qian, Fried Coix Seed (Yiyiren) 3 qian, Processed Atractylodes Rhizome (Baizhu) 1.5 qian, Astragalus Root (Huangqi) 2 qian, Fried White Peony Root (Baishao) 1.5 qian, Honey-fried Tangerine Peel (Chenpi) 0.5 qian, Honey-fried Black Licorice Root (Gancao) 0.3 qian, Donkey-hide Gelatin (Ejiao) 2 qian (fried with clam powder), Longan Aril (Guiyuanrou) 3 qian, Large Black Dates (Heizao) 2 pieces.
Case of Patient Zhang (Initial Consultation)
Spleen and Kidney Yang decline; morning intake leads to evening vomiting, undigested food passes through. This indicates lack of Fire (Mingmen Fire Deficiency), not rapid expulsion due to Heat-Fire. Tongue is pale with white coating, pulse is fine and slow. Warm the Middle and regulate Qi mechanism.
Prescription: Cinnamon Bark (Rougui), Evodia Fruit (Wuyu), Poria (Fuling), Perilla Stem (Sugeng), Alpinia Oxyphylla Fruit (Yizhiren), Gingered Myristica Seed (Ruguo), Fried White Peony Root (Baishao), Tangerine Peel (Chenpi), Pinellia Tuber (Banxia).
Case of Patient Zhang (Follow-up)
Food and water entering the stomach easily generate Phlegm-Dampness, mostly due to Spleen deficiency and Earth decline. Now Liver Wood insults Spleen Earth; above, belching and vomiting of fermented food; below, diarrhea, abdominal distension. Ascending and descending are obstructed. Specifically regulating the Yang of the Central Palace (Spleen/Stomach) is appropriate.
Prescription: Dried Ginger (Ganjiang), Alpinia Oxyphylla Fruit (Yizhiren), Poria (Fuling), Tangerine Peel (Chenpi), Evodia Fruit (Wuyu), Licorice Root Charcoal (Gancaotan), Fried White Peony Root (Baishao), Ginger-processed Pinellia (Banxia), Dried Rose Flower (Meiguihua).
Case of Patient Zhang (Follow-up)
Warming and moistening the Spleen and Stomach, the Qi mechanism of the Middle Jiao has rotated. Indeed, Yin recovery is slow, while Yang recovery is fast.
Prescription: Processed Aconite Root (Fuzi), Gingered Myristica Seed (Ruguo), Fried White Peony Root (Baishao), Coix Seed (Yiyiren), Processed Magnolia Bark (Houpo), Evodia Fruit (Wuyu), Tangerine Pith (Jubai), Medicated Leaven (Qu), Poria (Fuling).
Case of Patient Zhang (Follow-up)
Regurgitation has stopped. Support Spleen and Stomach Qi, assisted by nourishing Liver Blood.
Prescription: Ginseng Strip (Renshentiao), Poria (Fuling), Tangerine Peel (Chenpi), Clean Angelica Sinensis Root (Guishen), Raw Atractylodes Rhizome (Baizhu), Honey-fried Licorice Root Charcoal (Gancaotan), Ginger-processed Pinellia (Banxia), Fried White Peony Root (Baishao), Fried Coix Seed (Yiyiren), Rice Sprout (Guya).
After stopping the decoction, take Xiangsha Liujun Wan (Three Qian), taken every morning with soup made from fried yellow rice.
Case of Patient Xie (Initial Consultation)
Overthinking injures the Spleen; depression and anger injure the Liver. After metrorrhagia, Qi and Ying are severely deficient. Sleeplessness all night, spirit unable to control itself, startling and doubting everything. This is palpitations and anxiety, not epilepsy.
Combining pulse and symptoms, Spleen-stored Qi and Blood are severely injured. The Spleen is the source of Ying. Although the Heart governs blood generation, blood does not generate itself; it requires Spleen Qi to transport fluids, extract essence from the Middle Jiao, and transform into blood. If Heart deficiency is treated without tonifying the Spleen, the source of blood generation is cut off. Also, stool is loose, gallbladder courage is abnormally low, clearly indicating deficiency. Do not stubbornly adhere to the idea of excess Phlegm-Fire.
Prescription: Large Rehmannia Root (Dishengdi), Fried White Peony Root (Baishao), Fried Ziziphus Seed (Zaosuanzaoren), Poria (Fuling), Processed Winter Atractylodes (Dongzhu), Curcuma Root (Yujin), Longan Aril (Guiyuanrou), Ophiopogon Tuber ( Maidong), Lotus Seed Meat (Lianrou), Fritillaria Bulb (Beimu).
Case of Patient Xie (Follow-up)
Pulse is fine and wiry, slightly rapid. Metrorrhagia belongs to Qi deficiency sinking; blood loss leads to Yin fluid deficit. Palpitations and fear, doubt without mastery. Seeking the root, establishing Middle Qi should be prioritized. If only clearing Phlegm-Fire is done, it will surely become a chronic disease.
Prescription: Codonopsis Root (Dangshen), Processed Winter Atractylodes (Dongzhu), Large Ophiopogon Tuber ( Maidong), Angelica Sinensis Root (Guishen), Astragalus Root (Huangqi), Honey-fried Black Licorice Root (Gancao), Hairy Human Excrement Charcoal (Xuyutan), White Peony Root (Baishao), Poria (Fuling), Ziziphus Seed (Suanzaoren), Fritillaria Bulb (Beimu). Add Longan Aril, Large Black Dates.
Case of Patient Xie (Follow-up)
Pulse shows improvement, Yuan Qi gradually revives. Fear and doubt are manageable. Liver depression is smoothing, anger is rare. This is a good sign. Heart and Spleen Blood are not yet full; emotional nurturing is best.
Prescription: Processed American Ginseng (Yangshen), Poria Spirit (Fushen), Schisandra Berry (Wuweizi), Fritillaria Bulb (Beimu), Processed Winter Atractylodes (Dongzhu), Left Oyster Shell (Muli), Longan Aril (Guiyuanrou), Coix Seed (Yiyiren), Ziziphus Seed (Suanzaoren), Raw Licorice Root (Gancao). Add Kumquat Cake, Wild Rose Dew, take Baijin Wan (3 fen) before bed.
Case of Patient Xie (Follow-up)
Insomnia due to Yang rising, Spleen Qi sinking, Wind-Yang wandering不定. Kidney Essence lacks fluid. Use the method of guiding Yang to submerge and store.
Prescription: Codonopsis Root (Dangshen), Large Rehmannia Root (Shudi), Left Oyster Shell (Muli), White Peony Root (Baishao), Astragalus Root (Huangqi), Processed Aconite Root (Fuzi), Chrysanthemum Petal (Juban), Ziziphus Seed (Suanzaoren), Tangerine Pith (Jubai), Honey-fried Licorice Root (Gancao), Dendrobium Stem (Shihu), Longan Aril (Guiyuanrou). Add Egg Yolk (Jizihuang).
Case of Patient Xie (Follow-up)
Stool is solid, Kidney Essence is stored, Spleen Qi transports. Spirit gradually recovers. Occasionally encountering worries, Liver Yang easily disturbs the Pericardium, also because Heart Ying Blood and Qi are insufficient.
Prescription: Codonopsis Root (Dangshen), Scrophularia Root Heart (Yuanshenxin), Polygala Root Charcoal (Yuanzhi), Fried Ziziphus Seed (Zaosuanzaoren), Astragalus Root (Huangqi), Fritillaria Bulb (Beimu), Large Rehmannia Root (Shudi), Biota Seed (Baiziren), Yam (Shanyao), Honey-fried Licorice Root (Gancao), Longan Aril (Longyanrou).
Case of Patient Xie (Follow-up)
Walking is strong, sleep and diet are moderate. Middle Qi has recovered, but Blood deficiency still lacks nutrition.
