以上十味药材切碎,每次服用五钱,加水一盏半,放入三个掰破的大枣,煎煮至七分满,饭前温服。
【丁香胶艾汤】治疗崩漏出血不止。这通常是因为心气不足、过度劳累以及饮食不节制所致。经过一段时间后,其脉象表现为双侧尺脉均弦紧且洪大,重按则无力。患者自觉脐下寒冷如冰,寻求厚衣厚被以抵御寒冷,白带及白色滑腻之物较多,间或有少量鲜血流出,右侧尺脉时而洪大微弱。所谓“屋漏水”般暴下血量多者,是指黑色物质多而红色物质少,二者混合而成。急弦脉出现,说明寒邪居多;洪脉时现,说明热邪较少。综合而言,急弦脉代表北方寒水之气偏盛,洪脉时出代表命门与包络之火偏衰。
阿胶(炮制,六分)、当归身(一钱二分)、生艾末(一钱)、川芎、丁香末、熟地黄(各四分)、白芍药(三分)。
以上七味药材切碎,作为一剂,加水五盏,先煎煮五味药材,煎至两盏,滤去药渣,加入阿胶和艾叶,再煎至一盏,空腹且在进食前热服。

以上十味药材切碎,作为一剂,加水四盏,煎煮至一盏,滤去药渣,空腹稍热服用,取微汗即可立即停止出血。
【凉血地黄汤】治疗妇人血崩不止。这是由于肾水阴虚,不能镇守包络相火,导致血液妄行而崩漏。

以上十七味药材切碎,作为一剂,加水二盏,煎煮至一盏,滤去药渣,稍热服用,空腹且在进食前服用。
【益胃升阳汤】治疗血脱证采用益气法,这是古人的良方。先补益胃气以助发生之气,所以说“阳生阴长”。使用各种甘味药物作为首要任务。世人皆认为这是补气,殊不知甘味能生血,这正是阳生阴长的道理。所以先调理胃气,人体内部,谷气最为宝贵。
白术(三钱)、黄芪、甘草(炙,各二钱)、人参(一钱半)、陈皮、当归身(各一钱)、炒神曲(一钱半)、柴胡、升麻、生黄芩(各半钱)。
以上十味药材切碎,每次服用三钱或五钱,根据进食情况增减剂量。如果吃得少,应在三钱的基础上再减少,不要让药力胜过谷气。每次服药加水二盏,煎煮至一盏,滤去药渣,稍热服用,不限时间。○黄芩:夏季每服中稍加,秋冬季节去掉。○如果腹中疼痛,每服加白芍药三分,去皮肉桂少许。○如果口渴或口干,加葛根二分。
【升阳举经汤】治疗月经不调,右侧尺脉重按空虚,这是气血俱脱的表现,属于大寒证。轻手按压脉搏数疾,举手时脉象弦紧或涩,这些都是阳气外脱的证候,阴火也随之消亡。如果见到热证,出现在口、鼻、眼并伴有口渴,这都是阴躁而阳气欲脱的先兆。应当采用温补、提升、升提、浮散、燥湿的方法。此法应当大力升浮血气,并切实补益命门下方的脱失。
黄芪、白术、当归身(各三钱)、柴胡、藁本、防风、羌活(各二钱)、独活(一钱半)、川芎(炙)、地黄、白芍、甘草、人参(各一钱)、细辛(六分)、黑附子(炮制,去皮脐,五分)、肉桂(五分,夏季不用)、桃仁(十个,热水浸泡去皮尖)、红花(少许)。

【酒煮当归丸】治疗疝气、白带下注、脚气。腰部以下感觉如在冰雪之中,用火烘烤,层层盖上厚绵衣,仍然寒冷难忍,这是极寒之证。面色苍白如枯鱼之状,肌肉消瘦迅速如刀刮削,小便不止,白带常流不禁,自己不知觉,面色白而目青,如篮菜之色,视力模糊无所见,身体沉重如山,行走倾斜不稳,腿膝枯细,大便秘难,口不能言,极度无力,饮食不下,心下痞闷烦乱,心中懊恼,不堪其苦,面部污垢停滞,背部恶寒,小便遗溺而不自知,这是上、中、下三焦真气俱虚欲竭,呕逆不止,胃气极度虚弱。其脉沉厥紧而涩,重按空虚。如果脉洪大而涩,重按无力,尚属中寒,何况重按空虚的呢?服用此药忌食湿面、油腻、生冷及有毒食物。
当归(一两)、良姜(七钱)、黑附子(炮制,七钱)、茴香(半两,炒制)。
以上切碎如麻豆大小,用好酒一升半同煮,直到酒干为止,在炭火上焙干,研为细末。之后加入玄胡索(四钱)、全蝎(三钱)、柴胡(二钱)、木香、盐炒黄芪、升麻(各一钱)、丁香、甘草、苦楝皮(各五分,生用)。

[Dingxiang Jiao'ai Tang (Clove and Donkey-hide Gelatin Decoction)] Treats persistent metrorrhagia and leukorrhea. This is caused by insufficient Heart Qi, overexertion, and irregular diet. After some time, the pulse at both Chi positions is wiry, tight, and surging, but weak upon deep pressure. The patient feels cold in the lower abdomen as if with ice, seeking thick clothing and quilts to ward off the cold. There is abundant white leukorrhea and slippery discharge, occasionally mixed with small amounts of fresh blood. The right Chi pulse is sometimes surging and weak. "Leaking roof" refers to profuse discharge where blackish material predominates over red blood, resulting from their mixture. A wiry-tight pulse indicates predominant cold; a surging pulse appearing intermittently indicates minor heat. In summary, wiry-tightness signifies excessive Northern Cold Water energy, while intermittent surging signifies deficient Fire of the Mingmen (Gate of Life) and Pericardium.

[Yiwei Shengyang Tang (Benefit Stomach and Raise Yang Decoction)] Treats blood depletion by supplementing Qi, an excellent method of the ancients. First tonify Stomach Qi to assist the generating Qi. Thus it is said "Yang generates Yin." Using sweet-flavored agents is the priority. Although the world considers this merely Qi-tonifying, they do not know that sweet flavors generate blood, illustrating the principle of Yang generating Yin. Therefore, regulate Stomach Qi first; within the body, Grain Qi is precious.
Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) 3 qian.
Huangqi (Astragali Radix), Gancao (Licorice Root) [roasted]. Dosages: Each 2 qian.

Take slightly hot at any time. ○ Huangqin: Add slightly more in summer; remove in autumn and winter. ○ If abdominal pain occurs, add Baishaoyao (White Peony Root) 0.3 qian and a little peeled Rougui (Cinnamon Bark). ○ If thirsty or dry-mouthed, add Gegen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix) 0.2 fen.
[Shengyang Ju Jing Tang (Raise Yang and Lift Menses Decoction)] Treats irregular menstruation. The right Chi pulse is empty upon deep pressure, indicating depletion of both Qi and Blood, a severe cold syndrome. Light pressure reveals a rapid pulse; lifting the finger reveals wiry, tight, or choppy pulses, all signs of Yang collapse and extinction of Yin fire. If heat symptoms appear in the mouth, nose, eyes, accompanied by thirst, these indicate Yin restlessness and impending Yang collapse. Treatment should involve warming, lifting, raising, floating, and drying. This method requires strongly floating and raising Qi and Blood, and firmly tonifying the collapse below the Mingmen (Gate of Life).
Huangqi (Astragali Radix), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Danggui Shen (Body of Angelicae Sinensis Radix). Dosages: Each 3 qian.

Sensation of ice and snow in the lower body despite heating and heavy quilting indicates extreme cold. Face is pale like a dried fish, muscles wasted rapidly as if scraped by a knife.
