一产妇月余矣，因怒两胁胀痛，忽吐血甚多，发热恶寒，胸腹胀满，用八珍加柴胡、丹皮、
炮姜而安，却用十全大补，仍加炮姜而愈。前症因脾肺气血亏损，而胸腹虚痞，虽投大补，
若非姜桂辛温助其脾肺，以行药势，亦无以施其功，而反助其胀耳。
家人妇产后，小腹作痛，忽牙关紧急，进以失笑散良久而苏，又用四物加炮姜、白术、陈皮而愈。
一产妇筋挛臂软，肌肉掣动，此气血俱虚，用十全大补汤而愈。
一产妇两手麻木，服愈风丹、天麻丸，遍身皆麻，神思倦怠，晡热作渴，自汗盗汗，此气血
俱虚也，用十全大补加炮姜数剂，诸症悉退，却去炮姜，又数剂而愈。但内热，此血虚也，
产后元气亏损，恶露乘虚上攻，出现眼花头晕，或者心下满闷、神志昏迷、牙关紧闭，或者痰液壅盛的情况，紧急使用失笑散主治。如果因出血过多导致晕厥，或者神志昏迷、烦躁不安的，用大剂量的芎归汤来补益，或者使用芸薹子散，或者童子小便，如果有痰，加用二陈汤。如果是因劳累和心力交瘁导致的，适宜用补中益气汤加香附。如果是因为气血极度虚弱而人事不省的，使用清魂散，随后继以芎归汤以及大补气血的方剂。凡是分娩前可以预先烧红秤锤放在容器中，急送到床前用醋浇淋，或者用醋涂抹口鼻，闻到气味就能苏醒，或者使用破旧的漆器，或者干漆燃烧产生的烟雾熏蒸，或者用半夏末冷水调和成丸，塞入鼻孔中，都没有上述前患。丹溪先生说：血晕是因为气血俱虚，痰火泛上，适宜用二陈汤导痰，或者加减朱砂安神丸，用麦门冬汤送服也可以。大凡产后出现口眼歪斜等症状，应当以大补气血为主，同时兼治痰症。如果脾胃虚弱而不能固摄的，使用六君子汤，到了五六个月时，适宜服用安胎饮，到了八九个月时，再加大腹皮、黄杨脑，如临产时，更适宜服用保生无忧散，这样才没有前面的隐患。

一位产妇产后一个多月了，因为发怒导致两胁胀痛，忽然吐血很多，发热恶寒，胸腹胀满，用八珍汤加柴胡、丹皮、炮姜而安定病情，后来用十全大补汤，仍然加炮姜而痊愈。前面的症状是因为脾肺气血亏损，导致胸腹虚痞，虽然投用大补药物，如果不是姜桂辛温帮助脾肺，以运行药势，也无法发挥功效，反而助长胀气罢了。
家人妻子产后，小腹疼痛，忽然牙关紧急，进服失笑散很久后苏醒，又用四物汤加炮姜、白术、陈皮而痊愈。
一位产妇筋脉拘挛、手臂软弱，肌肉跳动，这是气血俱虚，用十全大补汤而痊愈。
一位产妇两手麻木，服用愈风丹、天麻丸后，遍身皆麻，神思倦怠，午后发热作渴，自汗盗汗，这是气血俱虚，用十全大补汤加炮姜数剂，所有症状全部消退，后来去掉炮姜，又服数剂而痊愈。但仍有内热，这是血虚所致。
Postpartum primordial qi is deficient, and lochia attacks upward taking advantage of the deficiency, causing blurred vision and dizziness, or fullness and oppression in the epigastrium, unconsciousness with clenched jaw, or excessive phlegm obstruction. In such emergencies, Shixiao San (Pain-Dispersing Powder) should be used as the primary treatment. If fainting occurs due to excessive blood loss, or if there is unconsciousness with restlessness, a large dose of Xiong Gui Tang (Ligusticum and Angelica Decoction) should be administered to tonify, or Yun Tai Zi San (Brassica Napus Seed Powder), or urine from an uncircumcised boy. If phlegm is present, Er Chen Tang (Two-Cured Decoction) should be added. If caused by overexertion and mental strain, Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) with Xiang Fu (Cyperus Rhizome) is appropriate. If unconsciousness results from extreme deficiency of both qi and blood, Qing Hun San (Clear the Soul Powder) should be used, followed by Xiong Gui Tang and other formulas that greatly tonify qi and blood. Generally, before delivery, a lead weight can be pre-heated until red, placed in a vessel, brought urgently to the bedside, and splashed with vinegar, or vinegar applied to the mouth and nose; smelling it will restore consciousness. Alternatively, broken lacquerware can be used, or smoke from burning dry lacquer can be inhaled, or a pill made from Ban Xia powder (Pinellia Rhizome) mixed with cold water can be inserted into the nostrils; these methods prevent the aforementioned conditions. Mr. Danxi stated: Blood fainting is due to deficiency of both qi and blood, with phlegm-fire surging upward. It is suitable to guide out phlegm with Er Chen Tang, or Jia Jian Zhu Sha An Shen Wan (Modified Cinnabar Calming the Spirit Pill), which can also be taken with Mai Men Dong Tang (Ophiopogon Decoction). Generally, for postpartum symptoms such as deviation of the mouth and eyes, the main approach should be to greatly tonify qi and blood, while simultaneously treating phlegm. If spleen and stomach are weak and unable to consolidate, Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six-Gentlemen Decoction) should be used. At five to seven months, An Tai Yin (Fetus-Calming Infusion) is suitable. At eight to nine months, Da Fu Pi (Areca Peel) and Huang Yang Nao (Buxus Seed) should be added. When approaching labor, Bao Sheng Wu You San (Life-Preserving Worry-Free Powder) is even more appropriate, thereby avoiding previous complications.
Clinical Cases
A parturient was more than a month postpartum. Due to anger, she experienced distending pain in both hypochondria, suddenly vomited a large amount of blood, had fever and aversion to cold, and chest/abdominal fullness. She was stabilized using Ba Zhen Tang (Eight-Treasure Decoction) with Chai Hu (Bupleurum Root), Dan Pi (Moutan Cortex), and Pao Jiang (Prepared Ginger). Subsequently, she recovered completely using Shi Quan Da Bu Tang (Complete Great Tonifying Decoction) still containing Pao Jiang. The preceding symptoms were due to deficiency and impairment of qi and blood in the spleen and lungs, leading to empty fullness in the chest and abdomen. Although major tonifying agents were administered, without the acrid-warm properties of Jiang (Ginger) and Gui (Cinnamon Twig) to assist the spleen and lungs and promote the movement of medicinal potency, the efficacy would not have been realized, and instead, it might have aggravated the distension.
The wife of a family member suffered lower abdominal pain after delivery, followed suddenly by trismus (lockjaw). After administering Shixiao San, she regained consciousness after a long period. She then recovered using Si Wu Tang (Four-Agent Decoction) with Pao Jiang, Bai Zhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome), and Chen Pi (Tangerine Peel).
A parturient presented with muscle spasms, flaccid arms, and twitching muscles. This indicated deficiency of both qi and blood, and she recovered using Shi Quan Da Bu Tang.
A parturient experienced numbness in both hands. After taking Yu Feng Dan (Wind-Dispelling Pills) and Tian Ma Wan (Gastrodia Pill), she developed generalized numbness, mental fatigue, afternoon fever with thirst, spontaneous sweating, and night sweats. This indicated deficiency of both qi and blood. She took Shi Quan Da Bu Tang with Pao Jiang for several doses, after which all symptoms subsided. Pao Jiang was then removed, and she took the formula for a few more doses until recovery. However, internal heat remained, which was attributed to blood deficiency.
