It is stated that after childbirth, both Qi and Blood are deficient, making it easy for pathogenic factors to invade. These pathogens lodge between the skin and interstices (the spaces between skin and muscles), where they contend with healthy Qi, resulting in headache, body pain, fever, and aversion to cold. This constitutes the syndrome of postpartum cold damage (Shanghan). The formulas for inducing sweating (diaphoresis) or purging should be used with lighter dosages compared to those for ordinary people; one cannot apply a uniform standard.
