One Treatise, fourteen Pulse and Syndrome Combinations (Note: Should be ten). Fourteen Prescriptions (Note: Should be thirteen).
A woman suffering from Wind-Strike for seven or eight days continues to experience alternating chills and fever.
Note: The phrase "menstruation just ceased" should be read in conjunction with "seven or eight days." Since the first four items of this chapter have been detailed in the *Commentary on Shanghan Lun*, they are not repeated here. (Cheng's Note: The treatment methods differ; it completely adopts the principles from *Shanghan Yunyao*.)
A woman feels as if there were a piece of roasted meat stuck in her throat.
Jiao Xiong's *Diao Gu Ji* and Luo Hao's preface to *Yijing Yulun* state: In their discussion of *Jingui Yaolue*, they consider the condition where water qi rushes to the throat, resembling a piece of roasted meat, and the condition where a woman feels a lump in her throat, to be tangible pathogens obstructing intangible Qi.
Note: The name "Plum Pit Qi" (Meiheqi) appears in *Zhizhi Fang*. Some predecessors considered it a precursor to dysphagia (Yige). Generally, in men, it often gradually develops into a choking syndrome; in women, it is mostly due to temporary Qi stagnation and Phlegm binding.
Banxia Houpo Tang (Pinellia and Magnolia Bark Decoction) Prescription
*Yixin Fang* and *Yimen Fang* record a prescription for treating a sensation of a meat-like lump in the throat that cannot be swallowed or spat out.
Based on this prescription, remove Perillae Folium (Suye), add Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (Jupi).
*Waitai Miyao* and *Guangji Fang* record Chaihu Houpo Tang (Bupleurum and Magnolia Bark Decoction) for treating abdominal distension and fullness.
Based on this prescription, remove Pinelliae Rhizoma (Banxia), add Bupleuri Radix (Chaihu), Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (Jupi), and Arecae Semen (Binglang).
*Shenghui Fang* records Zisu San (Perilla Powder) for treating Diaphragmatic Qi, chest oppression, Phlegm obstruction preventing food intake.
Based on this prescription, add Aurantii Fructus (Zhike), Bupleuri Radix (Chaihu), Arecae Semen (Binglang), and Cinnamomi Cortex (Guixin).
It also records Houpo San (Magnolia Bark Powder) for treating abdominal distension and fullness, Phlegm-fluid retention preventing food intake.
Based on this prescription, add aged Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (Chen Jupi), Peucedani Radix (Qianhu), and Arecae Semen (Binglang).
Zang-Jiao (Visceral Restlessness) in women, characterized by a tendency toward sadness and weeping. ("Restless" [Zao] is written as "Dry" [Zao] in *Maixian* and the annotated editions of Zhao, Xu, Shen, You, and Zhu, which is an error.)
A woman spits out saliva and froth; the physician incorrectly uses purgatives, resulting in epigastric stuffiness (Pi).
Note: Based on the analysis of *Xiao Qinglong Tang*, the "saliva and froth" mentioned here refers to thick Phlegm.
Women's diseases arise from Deficiency, Accumulated Cold, and Stagnated Qi. ("Wei duo" - "not much": Zhu suggests it might be a typo for "Han" [Cold], which is incorrect. "Wei yun" - originally and in all versions written as "Bu yun" [uneven], should be corrected to "Wei".)
Note: Xu states: Regarding women's diseases up to the Baomen (uterine gate), this serves as the outline of the chapter. The six characters "Due to Deficiency, Accumulated Cold, Stagnated Qi" are the core of the outline. It means if one is not deficient, pathogens cannot take advantage. Due to deficiency, occasional cold sensations fail to transform and accumulate. Heat causes Qi to move; Cold causes it to congeal. Congealed Cold Qi stagnates and eventually forms knots. A knot implies non-dispersion. Blood fails to circulate when encountering Cold Qi, leading to amenorrhea. However, conditions vary in severity and location, hence the term "various" (Zhu). Cheng states: This clause should be divided into three parts. Women's diseases must stem from Deficiency-Labor, Accumulated Cold, and Stagnated Qi (i.e., Stagnated Heat). These three can cause various meridian diseases in women. You agrees with Cheng, and *Yizong Jinjian* follows suit. Upon careful reading, Xu's explanation seems more reasonable, but his interpretation of "Zhu" is likely incorrect. Wei states: "Zhu" means "of," which is appropriate. This clause primarily focuses on Blood-Cold accumulation in the Lower Jiao. The fifteen sentences from "Cold injuring meridians" to "not limited to women" are secondary remarks, listing Upper and Middle Jiao diseases as references for Lower Jiao diseases. Long-standing cases may develop Lung Abscess (Fei Yong); my elder brother said "Yong" [Abscess] should be "Wei" [Atrophy/Withered], a character error. There is no logic for Lung Abscess from Upper Jiao Cold condensation; Lung Cold leads to Wei syndrome, as seen in Gancao Ganjiang Tang patterns. (*Maixian·Furen Bing* also mentions "coughing, reverse flow, vomiting froth, lung becomes Wei"). Wei further states: Dull pain around the navel manifests as Lower Abdominal Cold Pain, Running Piglet (Ben Tun), or Cold Colic (Han Han), varying greatly. Pathogens branching off bind to both hypochondria, resembling connected organs; high pathogen, low pain, yet pain is at Guanyuan, indicating Lower Jue and Upper Reverse. Shen interprets "Wei duo" as "not having passed many days," which is incorrect. Xu states: The four lines starting with "Yan Hu" form a paragraph and should be followed. One should read "Huo" [Perhaps] above "Yan". *Yizong Jinjian* considers it a constant state of severe pain, which seems incorrect. "Jue Dian" refers to Dian disease (Epilepsy/Mania). *Maiyao Jingwei Lun* states: Jue transforms into Dian disease. Also: Rapid onset, slow decline, Upper Excess and Lower Deficiency constitute Jue-Dian disease. Vomiting saliva and froth: "Xian" rhymes; "Gen" at Qijie rhymes. Ancient texts rhyme within sentences, not necessarily at the end. See Qian Daxin's *Shijiazha Yangxin Lu* and Wang Yinzhi's *Jingyi Shuwen*. (Collected meanings cite *Zhubing Yuanhou Lun*, considering "Bu tong" [blockage] redundant.)
Wenjing Tang (Warm the Menses Decoction) Prescription
Note: The purpose of Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) in this prescription is unclear. Cheng claims it stops leukorrhea, which is baseless. Xu argues: Prolonged diarrhea injures Spleen Qi, so Ginger and Banxia correct Spleen Qi, but this is unverified.
*Yangshi Jiacang Fang* Tiaojing Tang treats Chong and Ren Meridian Deficiency, invasion of Wind-Cold, Qi knotting and stagnation. Before menstruation, cramping pain occurs in the umbilical/abdominal region, or urgent lower abdominal pain radiating to waist and legs. It is suitable to take five days before menstruation starts and five days after it ends.
Based on this prescription, remove E-Jiao (Colla Corii Asini), add Acanthopanacis Cortex (Wujia Pi), Prepared Rehmanniae Radix (Shu Dihuang), Linderae Fructus (Wuyao), Carthami Flos (Honghua), and Myrrha (Moyao).
Leukorrhea with irregular menstruation, lower abdominal fullness and pain.
[Xu] Leukorrhea refers to what was previously called "all these are leukorrhea," not specifically red-and-white discharge. [Zhao] This is also a disease caused by Blood stasis. Irregular menstruation or twice-a-month bleeding are all Chong-Ren Blood stasis diseases. Digerae Fructus (Tugua Gen) promotes menstruation, resolves Blood stasis, and generates fluids. Fluid generation transforms into Blood. Paoniae Radix (Shaoyao) treats pathogenic abdominal pain, removes Blood Bi, opens Yin-Cold. Cinnamomi Ramulus (Guizhi) unites blood vessels and guides Yang Qi. Mylabris (Chong) breaks Blood accumulations to dissolve and move them.
Note: Zhao's annotation is comprehensive. The main text likely supplements the word "Huo" [Perhaps], following old traditions. Additionally, *Qianjin Fang*'s Wenjing Tang treats lower abdominal pain in women using Poria (Fuling), Paoniae Radix (Shaoyao), Digerae Fructus (Tugua Ren), and Coicis Semen (Yiyiren), with similar intent.
Cunkou pulse is Wiry (Xian) and Large (Da).
Note: You's theory on the functions of the Three Grades originates from Zhao. Zhao further states: All silk-related herbs regulate Blood; since Blood color is red, Crimson-dyed silk is particularly effective for invigorating Blood.
Women's sinking meridians with dripping hemorrhage (Lou Xia).
Note: Zhao says: Although the full prescription is not visible, E-Jiao (Colla Corii Asini) and Ai Ye (Artemisiae Argyi Folium) are sufficient to treat it. Shen and Wei argue that E-Jiao and Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) are difficult to accept.
Sixty-two types of Wind in women.
Note: Zhao believes treating sixty-two types of wind with one medicine is clearly not Zhang Zhongjing's method. However, analyzing the prescription's intent, breaking Blood and unifying meridians using Honghua Wine allows Blood to open and Qi to move, dispersing Wind.
Honglan Hua Jiu (Red Blue Flower Wine) Prescription
*Benzao* and *Tujing* state: Zhang Zhongjing treated sixty-two types of wind combined with internal Blood-Qi stabbing pain using one da liang of Honghua (Carthami Flos), divided into four parts, decocted in one da sheng of Wine until half remains, taken in one dose. If ineffective, take again. Another method uses one sheng of Honglan Zi (Carthamus seeds), crushed, mixed with eight he of pure Wine, dried in sun, pounded again, honey-pilled like wattle seeds, taken with wine on an empty stomach, ten pills per dose.
Question: A woman's disease presents with normal diet and appetite.
Note: The syndrome of this clause is essentially Lower Jiao obstruction preventing urination. The Bladder becomes urgently distended, causing the uterine ligaments to twist and tangle, further closing urination, leading to irritability, heat, inability to lie flat, and reliance on sitting up to breathe. Therefore, Shenqi Wan (Kidney Qi Pill) is used to open obstruction and promote urination. Once urination flows freely, the Bladder relaxes, and the ligaments return to normal. This condition does not require Lower Yuan deficiency; the pill is used specifically for its diuretic effect. Hence, it is said that promoting urination cures it. Furthermore, according to Huilin's *Yiqie Jing Yinyi*, "Liao" means "knotting/twisting." Xu states: Liaoli refers to the twisting of ligaments. My elder brother cites Lu Wentiao's *Zhongshan Zhaji*: Liaoli means crooked rotation. Xu Shen's commentary on *Huainan Yuandao Xun* defines it as "Liaoli." Guo Pu's commentary on *Fangyan III* defines "Zhen" as "Li," meaning mutual twisting. Yang Qiang's commentary on *Xunzi Xiushen* equates "Jili" with "Liaoli."
If the Shaoyin pulse is Slippery (Hua) and Rapid (Shu), sores will appear in the vagina. (*Maixian* splits this into two clauses: Shaoyin pulse rapid indicates Qi Lin [dysuria]; sores appear in the vagina.)
*Ping Mai Fa* states: If the Shaoyin pulse is slightly Slippery, Slipperiness is the floating name of Tightness. This indicates Yin Excess. The person will inevitably have sweating inside the thighs and dampness below the genitals.
Stomach Qi leaks downward, causing vaginal flatulence (Yinchui) with noisy sounds.
*Maixian*: Preceding this clause is one stating: Shaoyin pulse is Weak and Fine. Fine indicates Blood deficiency; Weak generates Wind. Weak and Fine struggle together, causing aversion to cold in the vagina. Stomach Qi leaks downward, causing vaginal flatulence with noisy sounds.
*Furen Liangfang* Gaofa Jian (Hair and Fat Decoction) treats women with Grain Qi Excess, Stomach Qi leaking downward, vaginal flatulence with noisy sounds, and vaginal bleeding.
*Chishui Xuanzhu* records: The wife of Lingxi Changqing had mild abdominal pain, irregular menstruation, sore throat, numbness and trembling in limbs, and loss of appetite. Her Right pulse was Surging and Large like a bean. She was treated with Chuanxiong, Xiangfu, Maiya, Shanzha, Wumei, Fencao, Jiegeng, Jiu Qin, Fangfeng, Jingjie, Baizhu, and Fuling for four doses, bringing relief. Next month, menstruation flowed heavily for ten days. She was treated with Huangqi, E-Jiao, and Puhuang (1 qian each), Shaoyao (2 qian), and Fencao (3 fen) for one dose, stopping the bleeding. Afterwards, she felt turbid Qi sinking, passing gas from the uterus. She was treated with Buzhong Yiqi Tang plus Jiu Chaid Huanglian for regulation and recovery.
Xiao'er Ganchong Shichi Fang (Pediatric Malnutrition Worm-Eroded Teeth Prescription) (Cited from *Youyou Xinshu*, with "each a little" added under Tingli. "Lari" means La Yue [Twelfth Month]. "He" added above. Not recorded in Zhao's annotated edition.)
[Wei] Attached is a prescription for pediatric malnutrition worm-eaten teeth. I do not know why it is included at the end of the chapter. Perhaps pediatric books are incomplete, omitting details while mentioning others?
