Warm the maltose over fire until melted. If excessive blood loss occurs, with metrorrhagia or internal hemorrhage that does not stop, add six liang of Shengdi Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata) and two liang of Ejiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin), totaling eight ingredients. Once the decoction is prepared, dissolve the Ejiao in the liquid and take it.
Jisheng Zengsun Siwu Decoction: Treats postpartum disharmony of Yin and Yang, alternating chills and fever, stagnation of lochia, which also causes chills and fever; the distinguishing feature is acute pain in the lower abdomen.
Ingredients: Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis, soaked in wine), Baishao Yao (Radix Paeoniae Alba), Chuanxiong (Rhizoma Chuanxiong), Renshen (Radix Ginseng) (each one liang); Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata, honey-fried) (half liang); Ganjiang (Rhizoma Zingiberis Preparatum) (one liang).
Preparation and Administration: Coarsely crush the herbs. Take four qian per dose, with three slices of fresh ginger, decocted in water. Drink hot at any time.
Qianjin Fang treats residual diseases after childbirth, including colicky abdominal pain, emaciation, weakness, and anorexia.
Ingredients: Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis), Huangqi (Radix Astragali Membranacei), Shaoyao (Radix Paeoniae Alba) (each six fen); Shengdihuang (Radix Rehmanniae Preparata), Baizhu (Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae) (each eight fen); Guixin (Cortex Cinnamomi), Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata) (each four fen); Dazao (Fructus Jujubae) (fourteen fruits).
Preparation and Administration: Coarsely crush the herbs. Decoct in two sheng of water to obtain eight he. Take on an empty stomach. Avoid raw green onions.
Danxi stated: The Wuji San (Five Accumulations Powder) from Ju Fang treats postpartum pain caused by residual blood. It uses Cangzhu (Rhizoma Atractylodis Lanceae) as the sovereign herb, Mahuang (Herba Ephedrae) as the minister herb, Houpo (Cortex Magnoliae Officinalis) and Zhishi (Fructus Aurantii Immaturus) as the assistant herbs. Although it contains blood-nourishing herbs like Dang Gui and Shaoyao, their quantity is only one-third of that of Cangzhu. One fails to consider what pathogenic cold exists in postpartum women? At this stage, Qi and Blood are not yet replenished, making sweating therapy seemingly inappropriate. Even if one argues that the drug properties are mild and can promote renewal, how can one use the fierce nature of Mahuang combined with the dispersing actions of Cangzhu, Zhishi, and Houpo? This leads to deficiency upon deficiency, bringing disaster swiftly.
Appendix [Itching in the Intestines]
To treat unbearable itching in the intestines after childbirth: Place a small bag containing needles and thread under the sleeping mat, without letting others know. Another prescription: Place arrow feathers and [missing character] under the sleeping mat, without letting the puerpera know.
[Da Lun] Postpartum distending and Qi-stagnation pain in both hypochondriac regions is due to retained fluid previously existing in the Bladder. Because lochia is not completely discharged after childbirth, fluid accumulates, causing obstruction where Qi and fluid clash and accumulate in the Bladder. Thus, distension and fullness occur in the hypochondriac region. The agitation between Qi and fluid causes pain.
[Xue Ji] For the aforementioned syndrome, if it is Blood stasis in the Liver channel, use Xiansu San (Corydalis Powder). If it is Qi stagnation in the Liver channel, use Sijun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) added with Qingpi (Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae Viride) and Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri). If it is Blood deficiency in the Liver channel, use Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) added with Renshen (Radix Ginseng), Baizhu (Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae), and Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri). If both Qi and Blood are deficient, use Bazhen Tang (Eight Treasures Decoction) added with Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri). If Kidney Water is insufficient to nourish Liver Wood, use Liuwei Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia). If Lung Metal is excessive and suppresses Liver Wood, use Xiebai San (Drain White Powder). Refer to the preceding discussions for primary treatments. A puerpera suffered from distending and painful hypochondriac regions due to anger, with severe hematemesis, fever, aversion to cold, and chest/abdominal distending pain. I considered this a case of dual deficiency of Qi and Blood. Using Bazhen Tang (Eight Treasures Decoction) added with Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri), Mudanpi (Cortex Moutan), and Paojiang (Rhizoma Zingiberis Preparatum), the bleeding stopped immediately. Subsequently, using Shiquan Dabu Tang (Complete Great Tonifying Decoction), the chills and fever gradually subsided. In this syndrome, unless warm and acrid herbs like Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) and Gui (Cinnamomi Cortex) are used to assist the Spleen and Lung in promoting the action of the medicines, not only would efficacy be lost, but the distension would be exacerbated.
