东垣云∶妇人分娩及半产漏下,昏冒不省,瞑目无所知觉。盖因血暴亡,有形血去,
则心神无所养。心与包络者,君火相火也,得血则安,亡血则危。火上炽故令人昏昌,火
胜其肺,瞑目不省人事,是阴血暴去,不能镇抚也。血已亏损,往往用滑石、甘草、石
膏之类,乃辛甘大寒文药,能泻气中之热,是血亏泻气,乃阴亏泻阳,使二者俱伤,反为
不足。虚劳之病,昏迷不省者,上焦心肺之热也。此无形之热,用寒凉之药驱令下行,岂
不知上焦之病,悉属于表,乃阴证也,汗之则愈。今反下之,幸而不死,暴亏气血,必
夭天年。又不知《内经》有说,病气不足,宜补不宜泻。但瞑目之病,悉属于阴,宜汗不
宜下。又不知伤寒郁冒,得汗则愈,是禁用寒凉药也。分娩半产,本气不病,是暴去其
血,亡血补血,又何疑焉。补其血则神昌。常时血下降亡,今当补而升举之,心得血而养,
神不昏矣。血若暴下,是秋冬之令太旺,今举而升之,助其阳则目张神不昏矣。今立一
方,补血、养血、生血、益阳,以补手、只厥阴之不足也。

Li Dongyuan stated: Women who have undergone delivery or spontaneous abortion with prolonged bleeding may experience fainting, loss of consciousness, closing their eyes, and lack of perception. This is because blood has been suddenly lost; when有形 (substantial) blood departs, the Heart Spirit loses its nourishment. The Heart and Pericardium belong to Ministerial Fire and Sovereign Fire; they are calm when nourished by blood and endangered when blood is lost. Excessive fire causes fainting; fire overcoming Lung Metal leads to closed eyes and unconsciousness, indicating that Yin blood has been suddenly depleted and cannot anchor Yang. When blood is deficient, practitioners often use Shihi (Talcum), Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae), and Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum), which are pungent, sweet, and greatly cold medicines. These drain heat from Qi, meaning draining Qi while Blood is deficient, and draining Yang while Yin is deficient, injuring both and worsening insufficiency. In consumptive diseases with coma and unconsciousness, the heat is in the Upper Jiao (Heart and Lungs). This is formless heat; using cold medicines to drive it downward ignores that Upper Jiao diseases all belong to the Exterior and are Yin syndromes, which should be cured by sweating. Now, using purgatives instead, although survival is fortunate, the violent depletion of Qi and Blood will surely shorten life. Furthermore, one must not ignore the *Neijing* saying that when disease Qi is insufficient, tonification is preferred over purgation. All cases of closed eyes belong to Yin and should be treated with sweating, not purging. One must also not forget that in Taiyang syndrome with depression and dizziness, sweating cures it; thus, cold medicines are contraindicated. Delivery or abortion does not inherently damage the Original Qi; it is merely a sudden loss of blood. To lose blood is to tonify blood; what doubt remains? Tonifying blood clarifies the Spirit. Normally, blood descends and is lost; now it should be tonified and lifted. The Heart receives blood nourishment, and the Spirit will not be confused. If blood flows down violently, it is like the excessive dominance of Autumn/Winter energies; now lift and raise it, assisting Yang so the eyes open and the Spirit remains clear. I hereby establish a prescription to tonify, nourish, generate blood, and benefit Yang, to supplement the insufficiency of the Hand and Foot Jueyin meridians.
