[Xue] The discussion on deficiency vexation can be found under the entry "Febrile Disease" (Fever).
Siwu Tang (Four-Substance Decoction) with added Fushen (Poria with Hostwood) and Yuanzhi (Polygala Root) is used to treat postpartum deficiency vexation; Shiquan Dabu Tang (Ten-Increment Great Tonifying Decoction) is even more effective.
[Da] Blood rushing to the heart due to residual lochia occurs because the decomposition and discharge of lochia are obstructed, combined with drinking child's urine, lying down immediately after eating, and consuming incompatible foods. As long as treatment follows the formula, recovery is certain.
To treat residual lochia not fully expelled postpartum, rushing to the heart causing vexation and abdominal pain:
Chuanxiong Rhizome (Chuanxiong), Raw Prepared Rehmannia Root (Sheng Dihuang), Aurantium Fruit (Zhiqiao), Peony Root (Shaoyao) (equal parts, ground into powder).
Take one fangcun bi (approx. 5-10 grams) with wine, twice daily.
Jiyan Fang (Collected Proven Prescriptions) treats postpartum blood and qi vexation. (Same as Qianjin Fang.)
Raw Rehmannia Juice (Sheng Dizhi), Clear Wine (Qingjiu) (each 1 sheng).
Mix and boil once, divide into two doses.
Guangji Fang (Guangji Prescriptions) treats blood and qi vexation: Drinking 2 sheng of fresh lotus root juice is effective. Bamboo sap (Zhuli) is also acceptable.
To treat residual blood remaining for seven days postpartum that does not dissipate, occasionally rushing to the heart causing dizziness and stifling sensation:
Lotus Leaf (Heye) (1 liang 7 qian 5 fen), Corydalis Rhizome (Yanhusuo) (2 liang), Rehmannia Juice (Dihuang Zhi) (2 he).
Add water 2 sheng, decoct the first two ingredients to obtain 8 he, then add Corydalis Rhizome. Divide into three doses, taken on an empty stomach. Avoid meat for one day.
To treat residual lochia attacking the heart postpartum, or continuous bleeding, with chest stifling, cyanotic complexion, and feeling of cold approaching death:
Sheep blood (Yangxue) 1 zhan, taken in one dose. If symptoms persist, take again for immediate effect.
Jingxiao Fang (Effective Prescriptions) treats postpartum qi deficiency where cold pathogens clash with blood, causing blood and qi stagnation, rushing upward leading to chest and abdominal fullness:
Angelica Sinensis Radix (Danggui), Cinnamon Twig Heart (Guixin), Chuanxiong Rhizome (Chuanxiong), Evodia Fruit (Wuzhuyu), Tangerine Peel (Jupi), Fresh Ginger (Shengjiang) (each 1 liang), Peony Root (Shaoyao) (2 liang).
Coarsely crush the herbs, add water 3 sheng, decoct to obtain 1 sheng, remove dregs, and take on an empty stomach.
To treat residual lochia rushing to the heart postpartum:
Use aged white plums, crushed, decocted into soup when thirsty.
Jinhuang San (Golden Powder) treats postpartum evil blood rushing to the heart, with intermittent irritability.
Corydalis Rhizome (Yanhusuo), Pollen Typhae (Puhuang) (each ban liang), Cinnamon Twig Heart (Guixin) (2 qian 5 fen).
Grind into fine powder, mix with sour plum decoction, cool, and take 2 qian.
Moyao Wan (Myrrh Pill) treats postpartum chest and heart irritability and sluggish evil blood:
Myrrh (Mo Yao, ground), Galangal (Manjiang), Corydalis Rhizome (Yanhusuo), Processed Dry Bitumen (Ganqi, stir-fried), Angelica Sinensis Radix (Danggui), Cinnamon Twig Heart (Guixin), Achyranthes Root (Niuxi), Moutan Bark (Mudanpi), Dried Ginger (Ganjiang) (equal parts).
Grind into powder, make pills using vinegar-boiled wheat paste, size of paulownia seeds. Take 10-15 pills with fermented grain soup.
Buyi (Supplement) treats postpartum residual lochia rushing to the heart, causing vexation and abdominal pain:
Use Puhuang (amount unspecified), stir-fry between papers. Take 1 qian each time, mixed with east-flowing water decoction. Also, Shixiao San (Decoction for Stopping Pain) is excellent.
For postpartum shortness of breath approaching death and chest vexation, use Zhuye Tang (Bamboo Leaf Decoction):
Bamboo Leaves (Zhuye, finely cut), Ophiopogon Tuber (Mendong), Wheat (Xiaomai) (each 1 sheng), Licorice Root (Gancao) (1 liang), Fresh Ginger (Shengjiang) (2 liang), Jujube (Dazao) (12 pieces).
Cut all ingredients, add water 1 dou, decoct bamboo leaves and wheat until 8 sheng remain, remove dregs, add remaining herbs, decoct to obtain 3 sheng, remove dregs, and take warm. For deficiency palpitations, add Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma (Renshen) 2 liang; for weakness, add Glutinous Rice (Nuomi) 5 he.
Ganzhuru Tang (Sweet Bamboo Sheath Decoction) treats postpartum internal deficiency with vexation, heat, and shortness of breath:
Prepared Bamboo Sheath (Ganzhuru) (1 sheng), Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma (Renshen), Poria (Fuling), Licorice Root (Gancao) (each 1 liang), Scutellaria Root (Huangqin) (3 liang).
Coarsely crush, add water 6 sheng, decoct to obtain 2 sheng, remove dregs, divide into three doses, three times daily.
Renshen Danggui Tang (Ginseng and Angelica Decoction) treats excessive blood loss postpartum leading to blood deficiency and yin deficiency, generating internal heat, causing chest vexation, shortness of breath, spontaneous sweating, and headache:
Prepared Rehmannia Root (Shudihuang), Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma (Renshen, removed rhizome), Angelica Sinensis Radix Body (Danggui Shen, removed rhizome), Cinnamon Bark (Rougui, removed coarse bark), Ophiopogon Tuber (Mendong, removed heart) (each 2 qian), White Peony Root (Baishaoyao, stir-fried) (2 qian 5 fen). For severe blood heat, add Raw Rehmannia Root (Shengdihuang) 2 qian.
Add water 2 zhong, Glutinous Rice (Jingmi) 1 he, Bamboo Leaves (Zhuye) 10 leaves, decoct to 1 zhong, take well after meals.
Xiebai Tang (Allium Macrostemon Decoction) treats postpartum chest vexation, heat, and rebellious qi:

Coarsely crush, add water 1 dou 3 sheng, decoct to obtain 4 sheng, remove dregs, divide into five doses, three times by day and twice by night. For severe heat, add Anemarrhena Rhizome (Zhimu) 1 liang.
Yunqi treated postpartum deficiency vexation with insomnia using Shaoyao Zhichi Tang (Peony and Fermented Soybean Decoction):
White Peony Root (Shaoyao), Angelica Sinensis Radix (Danggui), Gardenia Fruit (Zhizi) (each 5 qian), Fermented Soybean (Xiangchi) (ban he).
Prepare and take according to Zhizi Chi Tang method. Postpartum cold damage presents similarly to complications after purging. (Although this prescription originates from Yunqi, it is less stable than Zhongjing's Suanzaoren Tang.)
Zhongjing's Erwu Huangqin Tang (Two-Ingredient Scutellaria Decoction): When a woman in the puerperium exposes herself to wind, suffering from vexation and heat in the four limbs and headache, give Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction); if there is no headache but only vexation, this decoction governs. (See Xiaochailu Tang under Shaoyang Disease in Cold Damage Treatise.)
Scutellaria Root (Huangqin) (1 liang), Sophora Root (Kushen) (2 liang), Prepared Rehmannia Root (Gan Dihuang) (4 liang).
These three ingredients, add water 8 sheng, decoct to obtain 2 sheng, take 1 sheng warm; often results in vomiting or purging of parasites.
When women are deficient during childbirth, experiencing vexation, disarray, nausea, and vomiting, to calm the middle and benefit qi, use Zhupi Dawan (Bark Pill).
Raw Bamboo Sheath (Sheng Zhuru), Gypsum (Shigao) (each 2 fen), Cinnamon Twig (Guizhi), Anemarrhena Root (Baiwei) (each 1 fen), Licorice Root (Gancao) (7 fen).
Grind these five into powder, mix with jujube flesh to form pills the size of a bullet. Take one pill with water, three times by day and twice by night. Increase Baiwei if there is heat; add Platycladi Seed (Baishi) 1 fen if there is vexation and panting.
[Chen] Usually, various deficiency vexation and heat conditions are treated with Zhuye Shigao Tang (Bamboo Leaf and Gypsum Decoction) or Wendan Tang (Warm Gallbladder Decoction). However, one must not ignore that postpartum conditions differ from ordinary ones; drugs like Gypsum should not be used lightly, as doing so will cause death.
Empirical Prescription for treating postpartum irritability:
One piece of Yuyuliang (Halloysitum Rubrum), shaped like a sour filling, bury half of it in the ground, compacting the surroundings tightly. Burn one cheng of charcoal and one jin of hair ash. After extinguishing the fire, allow two-thirds to consume. Cover with wet sandy soil overnight, then retrieve. Remove the outer layer, use only the inner part, grind finely, wash with water, clarify five to seven times, dry on paper, and grind thousands of times more. Mix with Licorice decoction, take two qianbi, effective immediately.
