心慌惊悸或目不转睛，语言健忘，此由心血空虚，神不守舍，当补心神为主。安神定志丸、归脾汤并进，
或佐以 庵养心汤，其诸症自愈。

产妇汗多发痉，俗谓产后惊风，实非风也。乃肝血空虚，不能荣筋，以至手足抽搐，有似中风之状。更有口
噤切牙，角弓反张，此气血大虚之恶候。若非十全大补加附子，将何以救之？或先用古拜散配归芎服之，再服
大补汤，自可成功。《薛氏案》与《女科指掌》俱云小续命汤，此必刻书之人补入者，不然二公亦何荒唐至此耶？
不思小续命汤是仲景《伤寒论》中风症也，用之以疏风，岂可用医产后之人乎？无论医者错，而书亦有错，所以
谓之得诀，回来好看书。且中风一症，气血虚者多得之。
经谓治风先治血，张景岳有非风之论，尚宜补血以驱风，而况产妇血虚明矣。叶天士治中风医案内，唯一人用
桂枝、羌活尚配黄 、附子温补而行，其余悉皆用补，何曾以风治？乃曰肝虚动内风，正是明理高论，合乎经
旨者也。
古拜散（见前身痛）十全汤（见前玉门不闭）。
Palpitations, fright, or staring fixedly with memory loss and forgetfulness are caused by the emptiness of Heart Blood, resulting in the Shen (Spirit) failing to reside within its dwelling. Treatment should primarily focus on tonifying the Heart Shen. Anshen Dingzhi Wan (Calming the Spirit and Stabilizing Will Pill) and Guipi Tang (Restore the Spleen Decoction) may be administered concurrently, or supplemented with Yangxin Tang (Nourish the Heart Decoction), whereby all symptoms will resolve spontaneously.
Anshen Dingzhi Wan (Calming the Spirit and Stabilizing Will Pill)
Ingredients: Fushen (Poria with Hostwood), Fuling (Poria), Yuanzhi (Polygala Root), Renshen (Ginseng Root) (each 1 liang); Shichangpu (Acorus Rhizome), Longchi (Dragon Teeth/Fossilized Bones) (each 5 qian).
Preparation and Administration: Grind into powder, form pills the size of tung tree seeds using honey, coat with Zhusha (Cinnabar). Take 2 qian per dose, washed down with warm water.
Guipi Tang (Restore the Spleen Decoction) (See preceding section on Metrorrhagia).
Yangxin Tang (Nourish the Heart Decoction)
Ingredients: Renshen (Ginseng Root), Zhi Huangqi (Honey-fried Astragalus Root), Fushen (Poria with Hostwood), Fuling (Poria), Xiaqu (Medicated Leaven) (each 1 qian); Danggui (Angelica Sinensis Root) (2 qian); Chuanxiong (Ligusticum Rhizome), Yuanzhi (Polygala Root), Baiziren (Biota Seed, oil removed) (each 5 fen); Rougui (Cinnamon Bark), Zhi Gancao (Honey-fried Licorice Root) (each 3 fen); Wuweizi (Schisandra Berry) (2 fen).
Administration: Decoct in water and take orally.
Postpartum spasms and convulsions resulting from excessive sweating are commonly referred to as "postpartum wind-stroke," but this is not actually due to external Wind pathogen. It arises from the emptiness of Liver Blood, which fails to nourish the sinews, leading to twitching and convulsions of the hands and feet, resembling stroke. In more severe cases, there may be lockjaw, grinding of teeth, and opisthotonos (arching of the back like a bow), which are ominous signs of severe deficiency of Qi and Blood. If one does not use Shiquan Dabu Tang (Perfect Ten Great Tonifying Decoction) added with Fuzi (Aconite Lateral Root), how can life be saved? Alternatively, one may first administer Guyai San (Ancient拜 Powder) combined with Danggui (Angelica Sinensis Root) and Chuanxiong (Ligusticum Rhizome), followed by Da Bu Tang (Great Tonifying Decoction), which will naturally succeed. Both *Xue Shi An* (Cases of Master Xue) and *Nu Ke Zhi Zhang* (Guide to Gynecology) record the use of Xiao Xuming Tang (Minor Continuation of Life Decoction); this must have been added by later book engravers, for otherwise how could Masters Xue Ji and Zhang Jingyue have been so absurd? They failed to consider that Xiao Xuming Tang is a formula from Zhang Zhongjing’s *Shanghan Lun* (Treatise on Cold Damage) used to treat Wind-stroke by dispersing Wind; it certainly cannot be applied to postpartum women who are deficient. Whether the physician erred or the text contains errors, this illustrates why it is said, "Once you grasp the principle, returning to read the books reveals their true meaning." Moreover, Wind-stroke is most commonly contracted by those with deficient Qi and Blood.
The Classics state that when treating Wind, one must first treat the Blood. Zhang Jingyue proposed the theory of "Non-Wind," advocating that one should tonify Blood to dispel Wind. How much more so for postpartum women whose Blood deficiency is evident! In Ye Tianshi’s medical cases on treating Wind-stroke, only one case utilized Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig) and Qianghuo (Notopterygium Rhizome), yet even these were paired with Huangqi (Astragalus Root) and Fuzi (Aconite Lateral Root) for warming and tonifying; all other cases employed purely tonifying methods. When was Wind ever treated merely by dispersing Wind? Ye Tianshi stated that "Liver deficiency stirs internal Wind," which is indeed a profound and rational argument consistent with the Classic principles.
