论曰∶产后血晕者，由败血流入肝经，眼见黑花，头目旋晕，不能起坐，甚致昏闷不省
人事，谓之血晕。细酒调黑神散最佳。庸医或作暗风、中风治之。凡晕，血热乘虚，逆上凑
心，故昏迷不省、气闭欲绝是也。然其由有三，有用心使力过多而晕者；有下血多而晕者；
有下血少而晕者；其晕虽同，其治特异，当详审之。下血多而晕者，但昏闷烦乱而已，当
以补血清心药治之；下血少而晕者，乃恶露不下，上抢于心，心下满急，神昏口噤，绝不知
人，当以破血行血药治之。古法有云∶产妇才分娩了，预烧秤锤或江中黄石子，硬炭烧令通
赤，置器中，急于床前以醋沃之，得醋气可除血晕。产后一腊，不防时作为妙。崔氏云∶凡
晕者，皆是虚热，血气奔并，腹中空所致。欲分娩者，第一须先取酽醋以涂口鼻，仍置醋于
傍，使闻其气，兼细细饮之，此为上法。如觉晕即以醋 面，苏来即饮醋，仍少与解。（一
云仍少以水解之。）一法烧干漆，令烟浓熏产母面即醒。（如无干漆以旧破漆器，以猛火烧熏
之亦妙）
郭稽中论曰∶产后血晕者何？答曰∶产后气血暴虚，未得安静，血随气上，迷乱心神，
故眼前生花。极甚者，令人闷绝不知人，口噤、神昏气冷。医者不识，呼为暗风，若作此治
之，病必难愈。但服清魂散即省。
论述说：产后血晕（因失血或瘀血导致头晕目眩、意识丧失的病证），是由于败血（恶露不尽之瘀血）流入肝经，患者眼前出现黑花，头目旋转眩晕，无法起身坐立，严重时会昏闷不省人事，这被称为血晕。用细酒调服黑神散效果最佳。庸医有时将其当作暗风、中风来治疗。凡是晕厥，都是血热乘虚逆上冲心，所以昏迷不省、气闭欲绝。然而其成因有三种：有用心用力过多而致晕的；有下血过多而致晕的；有下血过少而致晕的。虽然晕厥表现相同，但治疗方法截然不同，应当详细审察。下血过多而致晕的，只是昏闷烦乱而已，应当用补血清心的药物治疗；下血过少而致晕的，乃是恶露不下，瘀血上冲于心，心下胀满急迫，神志昏迷、牙关紧闭，完全不知人事，应当用破血行血的药物治疗。古法记载：产妇刚分娩完，预先烧红秤锤或江中的黄石子、硬炭，使其通红，放入容器中，急忙在床前用醋浇在上面，利用醋气可以消除血晕。产后一个月内，随时预防使用是妙法。崔氏说：凡是晕厥，都是虚热所致，血气奔涌，腹部中空引起。准备分娩时，第一须先用浓醋涂抹口鼻，并将醋放在旁边，让产妇闻其气味，同时细细饮用，这是上策。如果感觉要晕，就用醋涂面，苏醒后再饮醋，并少量给予水解渴。（另一种说法是仍少量用水稀释解之。）还有一种方法：烧干漆，让浓烟熏产妇面部即可苏醒。（如果没有干漆，可用旧破漆器猛火烧熏，也很好）。
郭稽中论述说：什么是产后血晕？回答说：产后气血突然虚弱，未能得到安静，血随气上逆，迷乱心神，所以眼前生花。极严重的，使人闷绝不知人事，牙关紧闭、神志昏迷、气息冷。医生如果不认识，称之为暗风，如果按照这种方法治疗，病必定难以痊愈。只要服用清魂散就能清醒。
It is stated: Postpartum blood syncope (a condition characterized by dizziness, vertigo, and loss of consciousness due to blood loss or blood stasis) occurs when retained blood (stasis from lochia that fails to discharge) flows into the Liver Meridian. The patient sees black spots before the eyes, experiences spinning vertigo of the head and eyes, and is unable to rise or sit up. In severe cases, it leads to fainting and unconsciousness, which is termed "blood syncope." It is best treated with Heishen San (Black Divine Powder) mixed with fine wine. Quack doctors sometimes treat it as An Feng (Dark Wind) or Zhong Feng (Wind Stroke). Generally, syncope results from blood-heat taking advantage of deficiency to surge upward to the Heart, causing coma, unconsciousness, closed qi, and a sense of impending death. However, there are three causes: syncope caused by excessive mental or physical exertion; syncope caused by excessive bleeding; and syncope caused by insufficient bleeding. Although the symptom of syncope is the same, the treatment differs significantly, requiring careful examination. For syncope due to excessive bleeding, where the patient is merely faint, confused, and restless, it should be treated with formulas that tonify blood and clear the Heart. For syncope due to insufficient bleeding, where lochia does not discharge and stasis rushes upward to the Heart, causing fullness and urgency in the epigastrium, coma, locked jaw, and complete unconsciousness, it should be treated with formulas that break stasis and promote blood circulation. Ancient methods state: Immediately after delivery, preheat a weight (such as a scale weight), yellow stones from rivers, or hard charcoal until red-hot, place them in a vessel, and urgently pour vinegar over them near the bed. The fumes of the vinegar can eliminate blood syncope. Using this method preventively within one month postpartum is excellent. Cui Shi said: All syncope is caused by deficient heat, with blood and qi rushing together due to emptiness in the abdomen. Before delivery, one must first apply strong vinegar to the mouth and nose, keep vinegar nearby for inhalation, and drink it slowly; this is the superior method. If one feels dizzy, apply vinegar to the face; once recovered, drink vinegar, and give a small amount of water to quench thirst (another version suggests diluting with water). Another method involves burning Gan Qi (Dried Lacquer) to produce thick smoke and fumigating the parturient's face to restore consciousness (if Dried Lacquer is unavailable, burning old broken lacquerware with intense fire is also effective).
Guo Jizhong discussed: What is postpartum blood syncope? The answer is: After delivery, qi and blood become suddenly deficient, and rest is not yet achieved. Blood follows the rebellious qi upward, confusing the Shen (Spirit) of the Heart, causing visual disturbances like seeing flowers. In extreme cases, it causes deep coma and unconsciousness, locked jaw, clouded spirit, and cold breath. If physicians do not recognize this and call it An Feng (Dark Wind), treating it as such will make the disease difficult to cure. Simply administering Qinghun San (Clear Soul Powder) will restore consciousness.
