下俱乱也。此时倘不烦躁，则肾中之真阳未散，今又加烦躁不得卧寐，明是奔越而不可回之兆矣，
非死症而何？然而其先原因失治，以至于不可救，非本不可救，而成此扰乱之症也。我
有奇方，名转阳援绝汤。用人参一两，白术一两，炒枣仁一两，茯神五钱，肉桂二钱，水煎服。一
剂即可安卧而回春矣。此方用人参以救绝，用白术、茯神以分消水湿而止下利；又用肉桂以温中
而去寒，加枣仁以安心而解躁，用之得宜，自然奏功如响也。
伤寒脉迟，自然是寒，误与黄芩汤以解热，则益加寒矣。寒甚宜不能食，今反能食，病名除
中。仲景为是死症者，何也？夫能食者，是胃气有余，如何反日死症。不知胃寒而加之寒药，反致能食
者，此胃气欲绝，转现假食之象，以欺人也。此不过一时能食，非可久之道。病名除中者，正言其胃
中之气除去而不可留也。虽然，此病虽是死症，而吾以为犹有生机，终以其能食，胃气将除而未除，
可用药以留其胃气也。方用参苓汤加减，人参一两，茯苓五钱，肉桂一钱，陈皮三分，甘草一钱，水
煎服。此方参、苓健脾开胃，肉桂祛
寒，陈皮化食，甘草留中，相制得宜，自然转败为功，而死者可重生矣。
伤寒六七日，脉微，手足厥冷，烦躁，灸厥阴。厥不还者死。此仲景原文也。夫伤寒阴症发
厥，灸其厥阴之经，亦不得已之法，原不及汤药之神也。灸厥阴不还，听其死者，亦仅对贫寒之子
而说，以其不能备参药也。倘以参附汤救之未有不生者。我今怜悯世人，另传一方，名还厥汤。用白术
四两，附子三钱，干姜三钱，水煎服。一剂而苏。凡见有厥逆等症，即以此方投之，无不神效
如响。盖白术最利腰脐，阴寒之初入，原从腰脐始，吾利其腰脐，则肾宫已有生气，况佐之附子、
干姜，则无微不达，而邪又安留乎。况白术健脾开胃，中州安奠，四肢边旁，有不阳回顷刻者乎。
伤寒发热下利，又加厥逆，中心烦躁而不得卧者，死症也。身热未退，邪犹在中，今既发厥，身
虽热而邪将散矣，宜下利之自止；乃不止，而心中转添烦躁不得卧，此血干而心无以养，阳气将外
散也，不死何待？又将何法以生之？亦惟有补元阳之气而已矣。方用参术汤∶人参三两，白术三两，
炒枣仁一两，麦冬三钱，水煎服。此方参、术补气，气足而血自生，血生而烦躁可定，况又佐之枣仁
以安魂，麦冬以益肺，有不奏功如神者乎。纵不能尽人可救，亦必救十之七八也。
伤寒发热而能发厥，便有可生之机。以发厥则邪能外出也。然厥可一二而不可频频。况身热而下
利至甚，如何可久厥而不止乎，其为死症何疑。盖下寒而上热，郁结于中，而阴阳之气不能彼此之相接
也。必须和其阴阳，而通达其上下，则死可变生。方用人参三两，白术五钱，甘草一钱，苏子一钱。
附子二钱，水煎服。此方通达上下，以和其阴阳之气，
自然厥止而利亦止、厥利既止，死可变生。倘服后而厥仍不止，则亦无药之可救，正不必再与
之也。盖阴阳已绝，而上下之气不能接续矣。
伤寒热六七日不下利，忽然变为下利者，已是危症，况又汗出不止乎，是亡阳也。有阴无
阳，死症明甚，吾何以救之哉，夫阳之外越，因于阴之内祛也。欲阴之安然于中而不外祛，必先使
阳之壮于内而不外出。急以人参三两，北五味一钱，煎汤救之可生。然而贫寒之子，安可得参。
我另定一方，用白术三两，黄 三两，当归一两，北五味一钱，白芍五钱，水煎服。此方补
气补血，以救阳气之外越，阳回则汗自止；汗止而下利未必遽止，方中特用当归，白芍者，正所以止
利也。水泻则当归是所禁用，下利非水泻也，正取当归之滑，白芍之酸，两相和合，以成止利之功。
况又有五味之收敛，不特收汗，并且涩利。若遇贫贱之子，无银备参者，急投此方，亦可救危亡
于顷刻。
伤寒下利，手足厥冷，以致无脉，急灸其关元之脉者，以寒极而脉伏，非灸则脉不能出也。今灸之
而脉仍不出，反作微喘，此气逆而不下，乃奔于上而欲绝也。本是死症，而吾以为可生者，正以其无
脉也。夫人死而后无脉，今人未死而先无脉，非无也，乃伏也。灸之不还，岂真无脉之可还乎？
无脉应死矣，而仍未死，止作微喘，是脉欲还而不能遽还也。方用人参一两、麦冬一两，牛膝三钱，
熟地五钱，甘草一钱。附子一钱，名为还脉汤。一剂而脉骤出者死，苟得渐渐脉出，可望生全矣。
伤寒下利后，脉绝，手足厥冷，猝时还脉，而手足尽温者生。此亦用灸法而脉还者也，然亦必手足
温者可生，正见阳气之尚留耳。倘脉不还，则手足之逆冷，终无温热之时，
是阳不可返，而死不可生矣。今将何以救之哉。不知脉之不返者，因灸法而不能返也。灸之力微，终
不及药之力浓。吾以人参三两灌之，则脉自然骤出矣。夫少阴下利厥逆无脉者。服白通汤，恶脉之骤
出；兹厥阴下利，厥逆脉绝者，用灸法欲脉之猝还，一死一生者何也？一用灸而一用药也。可见用药之
能速出脉，不于此益信乎，吾所以用独参汤救之而可生也。
伤寒下利，日十余行，脉反实者死。何也？盖下多亡阴，宜脉之虚弱矣，今不虚而反实，现假实之象
也。明是正气耗绝，为邪气所障，邪盛则正气消亡，欲不死不可得矣。然则何以救之哉。仍补其虚，而不
必论脉之实与不实也。方名还真汤。人参一两，茯苓二两、白芍一两，水煎服。此方人参以固元阳，茯
苓以止脱泻，白芍以生真阴，阴生而阳长，利止而脱固，则正气既强，虚者不虚；而后邪气自败，实者
不实也。假象变为真虚，则死症变为真生矣。产后感太阳风邪，大喘大吐大呕，不治之症也。喘则元
阳将绝，况大喘乎；吐则胃气将亡，况大吐乎；呕则脾气将脱，况大呕乎。产后气血大弱，如何禁此
三者，自是死症无疑。吾欲于死里求生，将用何方以救之。仍然大补气血，而少加止吐止呕止喘之药，
而太阳风邪反作末治而已矣。方用转气救产汤∶人参三两，麦冬三两，白术一两，当归一两；川芎
三钱，荆芥一钱，桂枝三分，水煎服。一剂而喘转，呕吐止，便有生机，否则仍死也。人参夺元气于欲
绝未绝之间，麦冬安肺气于将亡未亡之候、白术救脾胃之气于将崩未崩之时，当归、川芎不过生血
而已，荆芥仍引血归经而兼散邪，助桂枝祛风而同入膀胱，下行而不上逆也。方中酌量，实有
深意，非漫然或多或少而轻用之。大约此方救此症，亦有七八人生者，总不可惜人参而少用之耳。
产后感冒风邪，是太阳之症。口吐脓血，头痛欲破，心烦不止，腹痛如死，或作结胸，皆在不
救。以产后气血大亏不可祛邪，而病又犯甚拙，不能直治其伤故耳。如口吐脓血者，血不下行而上
行也；头痛欲破者，血不能养阳，而阳欲与阴绝也；心烦不止者，心血已尽，肾水不上滋也；腹痛如
死者，腹中寒极，肾有寒侵，命门火欲外遁也；或作结胸，胃中停食不化，胃气将绝也。诸症少见
一症，已是难救，况一齐共见乎，必死无疑矣，子欲以一方救之，何也？盖产后感邪，原不必深计，
惟补其正，而邪自退。予用佛手散，多加人参，而佐之肉桂、荆芥，不必治诸症，而诸症自
必皆去。当归二两，川芎一两，人参三两，荆芥二钱，肉桂一钱。一剂即见功，再剂而全愈。盖佛手散
原是治产后圣方，加之人参则功力更大，生新去旧，散邪归经，止痛安心，开胃消食。所以奏效皆
神也。
产后减少阳风邪，谵语不止，烦燥不已，更加惊悸者死，盖少阳。胆经也，胆中无计则不能润
心，心中无血则不能养心，于是心中恍惚，谵语生矣；而烦躁惊悸，相因而至，总皆无血之故。无血补
血，如何即是死症。不知胆木受邪，不发表则血无以生，然徒发表则血更耗散，顾此失彼，所以难
救，然而非真不可救也，吾用佛手散加减治之，便可生全。方用当归二两，川芎一两，人参一两，炒
枣仁一两，麦冬三钱，竹茹一团，丹砂一钱，熟地五钱，水煎服。此方归，芎生血以养心，又加人参、
枣仁、麦冬，竹茹、丹砂，无非安心之药，而熟地又是补肾之妙剂，上下相需。心肾两济，又何烦躁之
不除，惊悸之不定，而谵语之不止者乎。
产后感中阳明之风邪，大喘大汗者，亦不治。盖风邪入于阳明，寒变为热，故大喘大汗。平人
得此病，原该用白虎汤，而产妇血气亏损，如何可用乎。虽然大补产妇之气血，而兼治阳明之
邪火，未必不降，而大喘大汗未必不除也。方用补虚降火汤∶麦冬一两，人参五钱，元参五钱，桑
叶十四片，苏子五分，水煎服。此方人参、麦冬补气，元参降火，桑叶止汗、苏子定喘，助正而不攻
邪，退邪而不损正，实有奇功也。
产后感阳明之邪，发狂亡阳者，不救之症也。狂症多是实热；产后发狂又是虚热矣。实热可泻火
而狂定，虚热岂可泻火以定狂哉。然吾以为可救者，正以其亡阳也。亡阳多是气虚，虽实热而气仍虚
也，故泻实热之火，不可不兼用人参，况产后原是虚症乎。大约亡阳之症，用药一止汗，便有生
机，吾今不去定狂。先去止汗。方用救阳汤∶人参三两，桑叶三十片，麦冬二两，元参一两，青蒿五
钱，水煎服。一剂而汗止，再剂而狂定，不可用三剂也。二剂后即单用人参、麦冬北五味、当归。川芎
调理，自然安也，此方止可救亡阳之急症，而不可据之为治产之神方，盖青蒿虽补，未免散多于
补不过借其散中有补，以祛胃中之火，一时权宜之计。倘多服又恐损产妇气血矣，所以二剂后，必须改
用他方。
妊妇临月，忽感少阴经风邪，恶寒蜷卧，手足冷者，不治之症也。少阴，肾经也，无论传经至
少阴，与直中入少阴，苟得此症，多不能治。盖少阴肾经，宜温而不宜寒，今风寒入之，则命门之火
微，而肾宫无非寒气，势必子宫亦寒。手足冷者，脾胃寒极之非也。脾胃至于寒极，不死何待。而吾
以为可生者，以胎之未下也，急以温热药救之。方名散寒救胎汤。人参一两，白术二两，肉桂一钱，干
姜一钱，甘草一
钱，水煎服，一剂而寒散，不恶寒矣；再剂而手足温；不蜷
卧矣；三剂全愈。夫人参，白术，所以固气，肉桂干姜，所以散寒，甘草和中，亦可已矣。不知肉桂
干姜，虽是散寒。用之于临月之时，何愁胎堕。然必竟二味性甚猛烈，得甘草以和之，则二味单去祛
腹中之寒，而不去催胎中之子，助人参、白术以扫除，更有殊功耳，岂漫然而多用之哉。
妊妇临月，感少阴经症，恶心腹痛，手足厥逆者，不治。亦以寒入肾宫，上侵于心，不独下浸于
腹已也，较上症更重。夫肾水滋心，何以反至克心。盖肾之真水，心藉之养，肾之邪水，心得
之亡。今肾感寒邪，挟肾水而上凌于心，故心腹两相作痛，手足一齐厥逆。此候至急至危，我将
何术以救之。亦仍治其少阴之邪而已。方用回阳救产汤∶人参一两，肉桂一钱，干姜一钱，白术
五钱，甘草一钱，当归一两，水煎服。此方妙在加当归。盖少阴之邪，敢上侵于心者，欺心中之无
血也，用当归以补血，助人参之力以援心，则心中有养，而肉桂。干姜无非祛寒荡邪之品，况有白术、
甘草之利腰脐而调心腹乎，自然痛止而逆除矣。仲景谓子生则可治，用独参汤以救之，亦救之于生
子之后，而非救之于未生子之前也。子未生之前，当急用吾方，子既生之后，当急用仲景方。
产妇临月，忽感少阴症者，急以人参、白术大剂温之，不应则死。此仲景之文也，似乎舍人参、
白术无可救之药矣。吾以为单用人参、白术，尚非万全，苟用人参、白术不应，急加入附子、肉桂、
干姜，未必不应如响也。吾今酌定一方，名全生救难汤。人参一两，白术一两，附子一钱，甘草五分，
水煎服。可治凡感少阴经之邪者，神效。产妇三四日至六七日，忽然手足蜷卧，息高气喘，恶心
腹痛者，不救。此症盖感少阴之寒邪，而在内之真阳，逼越
于上焦，上假热而下真寒也。倘治之不得法，有死而已。急用平喘祛寒散∶人参二两，麦冬五
钱，肉桂二钱，白术三两，吴茱萸五分，水煎服。二剂喘止，二剂痛止。此方亦补气反
逆之圣药，祛寒定喘之神方，但服之不如法，往往偾事。必须将药煎好，俟其微寒而顿服之。盖药性
热而病大寒，所谓宜顺其性也。
产妇半月后至将盈月，亦患前症，又不可用前方矣，当改用护产汤。人参五钱，茯苓五钱，附子
一钱，白术五钱，当归一两、熟地一两，山茱萸五钱，麦冬五钱，牛膝一钱，水煎服。盖产妇已产至半
月以后与将盈月，不比新产血气之大亏也。故参可少用，而补阳之中，又可用补阴之剂。有附子以
祛寒，何患阴滞而不行哉。
产妇产后，手足青，一身黑，不救。此阴寒之最重，而毒瓦斯之最酷者也。原无方法可以回生，然
下利与神志均出现紊乱。此时如果并不烦躁，说明肾中的真阳尚未离散；如今又加上烦躁且无法安卧入睡，这显然是阳气奔散、无法挽回的征兆，这不是死症又是什么？然而，其先前的原因在于治疗失误，导致病情发展到不可挽救的地步，并非原本就不可救，而是演变成了这种混乱的病症。我有奇方，名为转阳援绝汤。用人参一两，白术一两，炒酸枣仁一两，茯神五钱，肉桂二钱，水煎服。服用一剂即可安然入睡并恢复生机。此方用人参来挽救将绝之气，用白术、茯神来分消水湿以止住下利；又用肉桂来温中散寒，加酸枣仁来安心解除烦躁，使用得当，自然能像回声一样迅速见效。
伤寒脉象迟缓，自然是寒证，误用黄芩汤来清热，则寒气更加严重。寒气极盛时应当不能进食，如今反而能进食，病名叫做“除中”。张仲景认为这是死症，为什么呢？能够进食，似乎是胃气有余，怎么反而是死症呢？不知道这是因为胃寒又加了寒凉药物，反而导致能进食，这是胃气将要断绝，转而显现出假性进食的现象，以此来欺骗人。这只是一时的能食，并非可以长久的道理。病名叫“除中”，正是说胃中之气已经除去而无法留存。虽然，此病虽然是死症，但我认为还有生机，终究是因为还能进食，胃气将除而未除，可以用药物来留住胃气。方子用参苓汤加减，人参一两，茯苓五钱，肉桂一钱，陈皮三分，甘草一钱，水煎服。此方中人参、茯苓健脾开胃，肉桂祛寒，陈皮化食，甘草守中，相互制约得当，自然能转败为胜，死者可重生。
伤寒六七日，脉象微弱，手足冰冷，烦躁，灸厥阴经穴。如果灸后厥冷不回者死。这是张仲景的原文。对于伤寒阴证发厥，灸厥阴经穴，也是不得已的方法，原本就不如汤药的神效。灸厥阴后厥冷不还，听任其死亡，这也是仅对贫穷寒冷的人家说的，因为他们无法备齐人参等药物。如果用参附汤来抢救，没有不活的。我今天怜悯世人，另外传授一方，名为还厥汤。用白术四两，附子三钱，干姜三钱，水煎服。一剂即可苏醒。凡是见到有厥逆等症状，就用此方投药，无不神效如响。因为白术最利于腰脐部位，阴寒之邪初入，原本从腰脐开始，我通利其腰脐，则肾宫已有生气，何况辅以附子、干姜，则无微不到，邪气又怎能停留呢？况且白术健脾开胃，中焦安稳，四肢周边，难道没有顷刻间阳气回复的吗？
伤寒发热下利，又加上厥逆，心中烦躁且无法安卧的，是死症。身体发热未退，邪气仍在中间，如今既已发厥，身体虽热但邪气将要消散了，按理下利应当自止；然而不止，心中反而增添烦躁不得安卧，这是血液枯竭而心无所养，阳气将要外散，不死还要等待什么？又将有什么办法来救治呢？也只有补益元阳之气罢了。方子用参术汤：人参三两，白术三两，炒酸枣仁一两，麦冬三钱，水煎服。此方中人参、白术补气，气足则血自生，血生则烦躁可定，何况又辅以酸枣仁来安魂，麦冬来益肺，哪有不见神效的呢？纵然不能保证所有人都能救活，也一定能救活十之七八。
伤寒发热而能发厥，便有可生的机会。因为发厥则邪气能向外排出。然而厥逆可有一两次，不可频频发作。况且身体发热而下利非常严重，怎么能长期厥逆不止呢，这无疑是死症。因为下寒而上热，郁结于中，阴阳之气不能彼此相接。必须调和阴阳，通达上下，则死可变生。方子用人参三两，白术五钱，甘草一钱，苏子一钱，附子二钱，水煎服。此方通达上下，调和阴阳之气，自然厥逆停止而泄利也停止，厥利既止，死可变生。如果服药后厥逆仍不止，那么也无药可救，正不必再给其用药了。因为阴阳已绝，上下之气不能接续。
伤寒发热六七日不下利，忽然变为下利的，已是危症，何况又汗出不止呢，这是亡阳。有阴无阳，死症非常明显，我如何救治呢？阳气的外越，是因为阴气在内逼迫所致。想要阴气安然在中而不外逼，必须先使阳气壮盛于内而不外出。急用人参三两，北五味子一钱，煎汤救治可生。然而贫穷人家，哪里能得到人参。我另外定一方，用白术三两，黄芪三两，当归一两，北五味子一钱，白芍五钱，水煎服。此方补气补血，以救阳气之外越，阳气回复则汗自止；汗止而泄利未必立刻停止，方中特别用当归、白芍的原因，正是为了止利。水泻则当归是禁用的，下利并非水泻，正是取当归之滑利，白芍之酸收，两者相合，以成止利之功。况且又有五味子的收敛作用，不仅收汗，而且涩肠止利。如果遇到贫贱之人，无钱备人参的，急投此方，也可在顷刻间挽救危亡。
伤寒下利，手足厥冷，以致无脉，急灸关元穴，是因为寒极而脉伏，不灸则脉不能复出。如今灸之而脉仍不出，反而出现微喘，这是气逆而不下降，乃奔于上而欲绝。本是死症，但我认为可生，正是因为他无脉。人死后才无脉，今人未死而先无脉，并非真的无脉，而是脉伏。灸之不还，难道是真的无脉可还吗？无脉应死，却仍未死，只作微喘，是脉欲还而不能立即回复。方子用人参一两、麦冬一两，牛膝三钱，熟地黄五钱，甘草一钱，附子一钱，名为还脉汤。一剂后脉骤然复出的会死，如果能渐渐脉出，可望保全生命。
伤寒下利后，脉绝，手足厥冷，片刻后脉复还，而手足尽温的则生。这也是用灸法而脉复还的情况，然而也必须手足温的才可生，正可见阳气尚留。如果脉不还，则手足的逆冷，终无温热之时，是阳气不可返，而死不可生。现在用什么来救治呢？不知道脉之不返，是因为灸法之力不够。灸的力量微弱，终究不及药力浓厚。我用三两人参灌服，则脉自然骤出。少阴下利厥逆无脉者，服白通汤，厌恶脉的骤出；兹厥阴下利，厥逆脉绝者，用灸法欲脉之猝还，一死一生为什么呢？一个用灸，一个用药。可见用药能速出脉，不于此更可信乎，所以我用独参汤救之而可生。
伤寒下利，日行十余次，脉反实者死。为什么呢？因为下利多伤阴，脉应当虚弱，如今不虚反实，现出假实的象。明是正气耗绝，被邪气所障蔽，邪盛则正气消亡，想不死也不可能了。那么如何救治呢？仍补其虚，而不必论脉之实与不实。方名还真汤。人参一两，茯苓二两，白芍一两，水煎服。此方中人参以固元阳，茯苓以止脱泻，白芍以生真阴，阴生而阳长，利止而脱固，则正气既强，虚者不虚；而后邪气自败，实者不实。假象变为真虚，则死症变为真生。
产后感太阳风邪，大喘大吐大呕，是不治之症。喘则元阳将绝，况是大喘；吐则胃气将亡，况是大吐；呕则脾气将脱，况是大呕。产后气血大弱，如何禁受这三者，自然是死症无疑。我想于死里求生，将用何方来救？仍然大补气血，而少加止吐止呕止喘的药，而太阳风邪反作次要治疗而已。方用转气救产汤：人参三两，麦冬三两，白术一两，当归一两，川芎三钱，荆芥一钱，桂枝三分，水煎服。一剂而喘转平，呕吐止，便有生机，否则仍死。人参夺回元气于欲绝未绝之间，麦冬安肺气于将亡未亡之候，白术救脾胃之气于将崩未崩之时，当归、川芎不过是生血而已，荆芥仍引血归经而兼散邪，助桂枝祛风而同入膀胱，下行而不上逆。方中酌量，实有深意，不是漫然或多或少而轻用之。大约此方救此症，也有七八人能活，总不可惜人参而少用之。
产后感冒风邪，是太阳之症。口吐脓血，头痛欲破，心烦不止，腹痛如死，或作结胸，皆在不救之列。因为产后气血大亏不可祛邪，而病又犯甚重，不能直治其伤故耳。如口吐脓血者，血不下行而上行也；头痛欲破者，血不能养阳，而阳欲与阴绝也；心烦不止者，心血已尽，肾水不上滋也；腹痛如死者，腹中寒极，肾有寒侵，命门火欲外遁也；或作结胸，胃中停食不化，胃气将绝也。诸症少见一症，已是难救，况一齐共见乎，必死无疑矣。你想用一方救之，为什么呢？盖产后感邪，原不必深计，惟补其正，而邪自退。我用佛手散，多加人参，而佐之肉桂、荆芥，不必治诸症，而诸症自必皆去。当归二两，川芎一两，人参三两，荆芥二钱，肉桂一钱。一剂即见功，再剂而全愈。盖佛手散原是治产后圣方，加之人参则功力更大，生新去旧，散邪归经，止痛安心，开胃消食。所以奏效皆神也。
产后感受少阳风邪，谵语不止，烦躁不已，更加惊悸者死，盖属少阳胆经。胆中无汁则不能润心，心中无血则不能养心，于是心中恍惚，谵语生矣；而烦躁惊悸，相因而至，总皆无血之故。无血则补血，为何即是死症？不知胆木受邪，不发表则血无以生，然徒发表则血更耗散，顾此失彼，所以难救，然而非真不可救也，我用佛手散加减治之，便可生全。方用当归二两，川芎一两，人参一两，炒酸枣仁一两，麦冬三钱，竹茹一团，丹砂一钱，熟地黄五钱，水煎服。此方归、芎生血以养心，又加人参、枣仁、麦冬，竹茹、丹砂，无非安心之药，而熟地又是补肾之妙剂，上下相需。心肾两济，又何烦躁之不除，惊悸之不定，而谵语之不止者乎。
产后感中阳明之风邪，大喘大汗者，亦不治。盖风邪入于阳明，寒变为热，故大喘大汗。平人得此病，原该用白虎汤，而产妇血气亏损，如何可用乎。虽然大补产妇之气血，而兼治阳明之邪火，未必不降，而大喘大汗未必不除也。方用补虚降火汤：麦冬一两，人参五钱，玄参五钱，桑叶十四片，苏子五分，水煎服。此方人参、麦冬补气，玄参降火，桑叶止汗、苏子定喘，助正而不攻邪，退邪而不损正，实有奇功也。
产后感阳明之邪，发狂亡阳者，不救之症也。狂症多是实热；产后发狂又是虚热矣。实热可泻火而狂定，虚热岂可泻火以定狂哉。然吾以为可救者，正以其亡阳也。亡阳多是气虚，虽实热而气仍虚也，故泻实热之火，不可不兼用人参，况产后原是虚症乎。大约亡阳之症，用药一止汗，便有生机，吾今不去定狂，先去止汗。方用救阳汤：人参三两，桑叶三十片，麦冬二两，玄参一两，青蒿五钱，水煎服。一剂而汗止，再剂而狂定，不可用三剂也。二剂后即单用人参、麦冬、北五味子、当归、川芎调理，自然安也，此方止可救亡阳之急症，而不可据之为治产之神方，盖青蒿虽补，未免散多于补，不过借其散中有补，以祛胃中之火，一时权宜之计。倘多服又恐损产妇气血矣，所以二剂后，必须改用他方。
妊妇临月，忽感少阴经风邪，恶寒蜷卧，手足冷者，不治之症也。少阴，肾经也，无论传经至少阴，与直中入少阴，苟得此症，多不能治。盖少阴肾经，宜温而不宜寒，今风寒入之，则命门之火微，而肾宫无非寒气，势必子宫亦寒。手足冷者，脾胃寒极之征也。脾胃至于寒极，不死何待。而吾以为可生者，以胎之未下也，急以温热药救之。方名散寒救胎汤。人参一两，白术二两，肉桂一钱，干姜一钱，甘草一钱，水煎服，一剂而寒散，不恶寒矣；再剂而手足温；不蜷卧矣；三剂全愈。夫人参、白术，所以固气，肉桂干姜，所以散寒，甘草和中，亦可已矣。不知肉桂干姜，虽是散寒，用之于临月之时，何愁胎堕。然毕竟二味性甚猛烈，得甘草以和之，则二味专去祛腹中之寒，而不去催胎中之子，助人参、白术以扫除，更有殊功耳，岂漫然而多用之哉。
妊妇临月，感少阴经症，恶心腹痛，手足厥逆者，不治。亦以寒入肾宫，上侵于心，不独下浸于腹已也，较上症更重。夫肾水滋心，何以反至克心。盖肾之真水，心藉之养，肾之邪水，心得之亡。今肾感寒邪，挟肾水而上凌于心，故心腹两相作痛，手足一齐厥逆。此候至急至危，我将何术以救之。亦仍治其少阴之邪而已。方用回阳救产汤：人参一两，肉桂一钱，干姜一钱，白术五钱，甘草一钱，当归一两，水煎服。此方妙在加当归。盖少阴之邪，敢上侵于心者，欺心中之无血也，用当归以补血，助人参之力以援心，则心中有养，而肉桂、干姜无非祛寒荡邪之品，况有白术、甘草之利腰脐而调心腹乎，自然痛止而逆除矣。仲景谓子生则可治，用独参汤以救之，亦救之于生子之后，而非救之于未生子之前也。子未生之前，当急用吾方，子既生之后，当急用仲景方。
产妇临月，忽感少阴症者，急以人参、白术大剂温之，不应则死。此仲景之文也，似乎舍人参、白术无可救之药矣。吾以为单用人参、白术，尚非万全，苟用人参、白术不应，急加入附子、肉桂、干姜，未必不应如响也。吾今酌定一方，名全生救难汤。人参一两，白术一两，附子一钱，甘草五分，水煎服。可治凡感少阴经之邪者，神效。产妇三四日至六七日，忽然手足蜷卧，息高气喘，恶心腹痛者，不救。此症盖感少阴之寒邪，而在内之真阳，逼越于上焦，上假热而下真寒也。倘治之不得法，有死而已。急用平喘祛寒散：人参二两，麦冬五钱，肉桂二钱，白术三两，吴茱萸五分，水煎服。二剂喘止，二剂痛止。此方亦补气反逆之圣药，祛寒定喘之神方，但服之不如法，往往偾事。必须将药煎好，俟其微寒而顿服之。盖药性热而病大寒，所谓宜顺其性也。
产妇半月后至将盈月，亦患前症，又不可用前方矣，当改用护产汤。人参五钱，茯苓五钱，附子一钱，白术五钱，当归一两，熟地黄一两，山茱萸五钱，麦冬五钱，牛膝一钱，水煎服。盖产妇已产至半月以后与将盈月，不比新产血气之大亏也。故参可少用，而补阳之中，又可用补阴之剂。有附子以祛寒，何患阴滞而不行哉。
All below are chaotic. At this time, if there is no irritability (Fan Zao), the true Yang (Zhen Yang) in the Kidney has not yet scattered. Now, with the addition of irritability and inability to sleep, it is clearly a sign of scattering that cannot be reversed. Is this not a fatal syndrome? However, the prior cause was mismanagement, leading to an untreatable state; it was not originally untreatable, but became this chaotic condition. I have a miraculous formula named Zhuan Yang Yuan Jue Tang (Decoction for Turning Yang and Supporting Desperation). It uses Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) 1 liang, Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) 1 liang, Chao Zao Ren (Semen Ziziphi Spinosae Preparatum) 1 liang, Fu Shen (Poria Cum Radice Xyli) 5 qian, Rou Gui (Cinnamomi Cortex) 2 qian, decocted in water and taken orally. One dose allows for peaceful sleep and recovery. This formula uses Ren Shen to rescue the desperate Qi, Bai Zhu and Fu Shen to distribute and eliminate dampness to stop diarrhea; it also uses Rou Gui to warm the middle and dispel cold, adds Zao Ren to calm the mind and resolve irritability. If used appropriately, it will naturally produce effects as quickly as an echo.
In Shang Han (Cold Damage), a slow pulse indicates cold. Mistakenly using Huang Qin Tang (Scutellaria Decoction) to clear heat will increase the cold. Severe cold should prevent eating; now, the patient can eat, which is called Chu Zhong (Elimination of the Middle). Why does Zhang Zhong Jing consider this a fatal syndrome? Being able to eat suggests excess Stomach Qi, so how can it be fatal? The truth is that cold in the Stomach combined with cold herbs leads to the ability to eat only because Stomach Qi is about to perish, presenting a false image of eating to deceive. This temporary ability to eat is not sustainable. "Chu Zhong" means the Qi in the Stomach is eliminated and cannot remain. Although this is a fatal syndrome, I believe there is still vitality. Since the patient can eat, Stomach Qi is about to leave but has not yet left, so medicine can be used to preserve it. Use Can Ling Tang (Ginseng and Poria Decoction) modified: Ren Shen 1 liang, Fu Ling (Poria) 5 qian, Rou Gui 1 qian, Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) 3 fen, Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) 1 qian, decocted in water. In this formula, Ren Shen and Fu Ling strengthen the Spleen and open the appetite, Rou Gui dispels cold, Chen Pi transforms food stagnation, and Gan Cao retains Qi in the center. Properly balanced, it turns defeat into victory, allowing the dead to be reborn.
Shang Han for six or seven days, with a faint pulse, cold extremities, and irritability, moxa the Jue Yin channel. If the cold extremities do not return, death ensues. This is Zhang Zhong Jing's original text. For Shang Han Yin syndrome with cold extremities, moxing the Jue Yin channel is a method of last resort, originally inferior to the efficacy of herbal decoctions. If moxa on Jue Yin does not reverse the cold, accepting death is said only for the poor who cannot afford Ginseng and other herbs. If treated with Shen Fu Tang (Ginseng and Aconite Decoction), survival is certain. Today, out of pity for people, I transmit another formula named Huan Jue Tang (Decoction for Returning Extremity Warmth). It uses Bai Zhu 4 liang, Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata) 3 qian, Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) 3 qian, decocted in water. One dose brings consciousness back. Whenever cold extremities are seen, use this formula, and it will be miraculously effective. Bai Zhu benefits the waist and umbilicus; Yin-Cold initially enters from here. By benefiting the waist and umbilicus, the Kidney Palace gains vitality. Assisted by Fu Zi and Gan Jiang, nothing is too subtle to reach, so how can evil remain? Moreover, Bai Zhu strengthens the Spleen and opens the stomach, stabilizing the Middle Jiao. Will the limbs not regain Yang instantly?
Shang Han with fever, diarrhea, plus cold extremities, central irritability, and inability to sleep is a fatal syndrome. Body heat has not subsided, so evil is still in the middle. Now that cold extremities have appeared, although the body is hot, the evil is scattering. Diarrhea should stop spontaneously; since it does not, and central irritability increases, this indicates dry blood and lack of nourishment for the Heart, with Yang about to scatter externally. How can one avoid death? What method can save them? Only by supplementing Yuan Yang (Original Yang) remains. Use Shen Shu Tang (Ginseng and Atractylodes Decoction): Ren Shen 3 liang, Bai Zhu 3 liang, Chao Zao Ren 1 liang, Mai Dong (Ophiopogonis Radix) 3 qian, decocted in water. Ren Shen and Bai Zhu tonify Qi; sufficient Qi generates Blood; generated Blood settles irritability. Assisted by Zao Ren to calm the soul and Mai Dong to benefit the Lung, how can it fail to work miraculously? Even if not everyone can be saved, ten out of seven or eight might be.
Shang Han with fever and cold extremities offers a chance of life because cold extremities allow evil to exit outward. However, cold extremities may occur once or twice, but not frequently. With severe fever and intense diarrhea, how can prolonged cold extremities persist? This is undoubtedly fatal. Cold below and heat above, constrained in the middle, prevents interaction between Yin and Yang. One must harmonize Yin and Yang and connect upper and lower, turning death to life. Use Ren Shen 3 liang, Bai Zhu 5 qian, Gan Cao 1 qian, Su Zi (Perillae Fructus) 1 qian, Fu Zi 2 qian, decocted in water. This formula connects upper and lower, harmonizes Yin and Yang, stopping cold extremities and diarrhea. If cold extremities persist after taking the medicine, no remedy exists, and further medication is unnecessary because Yin and Yang are severed and Qi cannot connect.
Shang Han fever for six or seven days without diarrhea suddenly changes to diarrhea is critical; especially with continuous sweating, this is Wang Yang (Loss of Yang). Having Yin without Yang is clearly fatal. How can I save it? Yang escaping outward is caused by Yin forcing inward. To keep Yin stable in the center, one must first make Yang strong inside and prevent outward escape. Urgently use Ren Shen 3 liang, Bei Wu Wei Zi (Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus) 1 qian, decocted in soup to survive. However, the poor cannot obtain Ren Shen. I prescribe another formula: Bai Zhu 3 liang, Huang Qi (Astragali Radix) 3 liang, Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) 1 liang, Bei Wu Wei Zi 1 qian, Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) 5 qian, decocted in water. This formula tonifies Qi and Blood to rescue escaping Yang; when Yang returns, sweating stops. Sweating stopping does not immediately stop diarrhea. Dang Gui and Bai Shao are specifically used to stop diarrhea. While Dang Gui is contraindicated in watery diarrhea, it is suitable for non-watery diarrhea due to its slippery nature, combined with the astringent Bai Shao to stop diarrhea. With Wu Wei Zi’s astringency, it stops sweating and binds the intestines. For the poor unable to afford Ren Shen, urgently administering this formula can save them from peril.
Shang Han diarrhea with cold extremities resulting in no pulse requires urgent moxibustion at Guan Yuan (CV-4) because extreme cold causes the pulse to hide; without moxa, the pulse cannot emerge. If moxa fails to bring the pulse back and slight panting occurs, Qi is rebellious and rising upward toward exhaustion. This is fatal, but I believe it can be saved precisely because there is no pulse. Death follows loss of pulse; here, the person is not dead but the pulse is hidden. If moxa doesn't restore it, is it truly gone? No pulse implies death, yet the person lives, panting slightly, meaning the pulse wants to return but cannot immediately. Use Ren Shen 1 liang, Mai Dong 1 liang, Niu Xi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix) 3 qian, Shu Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata) 5 qian, Gan Cao 1 qian, Fu Zi 1 qian, named Huan Mai Tang (Decoction for Returning Pulse). If the pulse emerges abruptly after one dose, death occurs; if it gradually returns, survival is possible.
After Shang Han diarrhea, if the pulse vanishes and extremities are cold, but the pulse returns suddenly and extremities become warm, the patient lives. This involves moxa restoring the pulse, but warmth of extremities confirms remaining Yang. If the pulse does not return, extremities remain cold, Yang cannot return, and death is inevitable. How to save? The pulse didn't return because moxa was insufficient. Moxa is weak compared to potent herbs. Using 3 liang of Ren Shen will cause the pulse to emerge rapidly. For Shao Yin diarrhea with cold extremities and no pulse, Bai Tong Tang is used, avoiding abrupt pulse emergence. For Jue Yin diarrhea with cold extremities and absent pulse, moxa is used to restore the pulse suddenly. Why the difference in outcome? One uses moxa, the other herbs. Herbs can rapidly restore the pulse, as confirmed here. Thus, using Du Shen Tang (Single Ginseng Decoction) saves the patient.
Shang Han diarrhea occurring more than ten times daily with a surprisingly solid pulse indicates death. Why? Profuse diarrhea consumes Yin, so the pulse should be weak. A solid pulse is a false appearance. Righteous Qi is exhausted and blocked by Evil. When Evil is excessive, Righteous Qi perishes, making death inevitable. How to save? Tonify deficiency regardless of the pulse's solidity. The formula is Huan Zhen Tang (Decoction for Returning Truth): Ren Shen 1 liang, Fu Ling 2 liang, Bai Shao 1 liang, decocted in water. Ren Shen secures Original Yang, Fu Ling stops collapse diarrhea, Bai Shao generates True Yin. As Yin grows, Yang lengthens; diarrhea stops and collapse is secured. Righteous Qi becomes strong, deficiency is corrected, and Evil defeats itself, resolving false solidity. False appearance turns to true deficiency, changing fatal syndrome to true life.
Postpartum contraction of Tai Yang Wind Evil causing severe panting, vomiting, and retching is untreatable. Panting indicates Yuan Yang nearing extinction; vomiting indicates Stomach Qi perishing; retching indicates Spleen Qi collapsing. Postpartum Qi and Blood are severely deficient, unable to withstand these three symptoms, making it undoubtedly fatal. Seeking life from death, I use a formula to greatly tonify Qi and Blood, adding small amounts of herbs to stop vomiting and panting, treating Wind Evil secondarily. Use Zhuan Qi Jiu Chan Tang (Decoction for Turning Qi and Saving Childbirth): Ren Shen 3 liang, Mai Dong 3 liang, Bai Zhu 1 liang, Dang Gui 1 liang, Chuan Xiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma) 3 qian, Jing Jie (Schizonepetae Spica) 1 qian, Gui Zhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) 3 fen, decocted in water. One dose stops panting and vomiting, indicating vitality; otherwise, death ensues. Ren Shen rescues Yuan Qi between extinction and survival; Mai Dong calms Lung Qi; Bai Zhu saves Spleen and Stomach Qi before collapse; Dang Gui and Chuan Xiong generate Blood; Jing Jie guides Blood back to vessels and disperses Evil, assisting Gui Zhi to disperse Wind and enter the Bladder, directing flow downward rather than upward. The dosage reflects deep intent, not arbitrary light usage. Approximately 70-80% survive if Ren Shen is not sparingly used.
Postpartum wind evil contraction presents as Tai Yang syndrome: spitting pus and blood, headache as if breaking, incessant heart vexation, abdominal pain as if dying, or chest binding. These are untreatable because postpartum Qi and Blood deficiency precludes dispelling Evil, and the disease is too severe for direct treatment. Spitting pus/blood means Blood rises instead of descending; headache means Blood cannot nourish Yang, and Yang seeks separation from Yin; heart vexation means Heart Blood is exhausted and Kidney Water fails to nourish; abdominal pain means extreme cold in abdomen invading Kidney, Ming Men Fire escaping; chest binding means undigested food in Stomach and failing Stomach Qi. Seeing even one symptom is difficult to treat; seeing all guarantees death. You ask for one formula to save them? Postpartum evil contraction need not be deeply analyzed; simply tonify Zheng (Righteousness), and Evil retreats. Use Fo Shou San (Buddha's Hand Powder) with added Ren Shen, assisted by Rou Gui and Jing Jie. Treating specific symptoms is unnecessary; they will resolve themselves. Dang Gui 2 liang, Chuan Xiong 1 liang, Ren Shen 3 liang, Jing Jie 2 qian, Rou Gui 1 qian. One dose shows effect, two doses cure completely. Fo Shou San is a sacred formula for postpartum; adding Ren Shen enhances power, generating new tissue, removing old, dispersing Evil, guiding Blood, stopping pain, calming mind, opening stomach, and digesting food. Hence, miraculous effects.
Postpartum Shao Yang Wind Evil causing incessant delirium, irritability, and palpitations is fatal. Shao Yang belongs to the Gallbladder channel. Without Gallbladder juice, Heart cannot be moistened; without Heart Blood, Heart cannot be nourished. Thus, mental confusion and delirium arise; irritability and palpitations follow, all due to Blood deficiency. Deficiency requires Blood tonification, so why fatal? Gallbladder Wood receives Evil; not releasing exterior prevents Blood generation, but solely releasing exterior耗散 (consumes/scatters) Blood. Balancing both is difficult, yet not impossible. Use modified Fo Shou San: Dang Gui 2 liang, Chuan Xiong 1 liang, Ren Shen 1 liang, Chao Zao Ren 1 liang, Mai Dong 3 qian, Zhu Ru (Bambusae Caulis in Taenia) a piece, Dan Sha (Cinnabaris) 1 qian, Shu Di Huang 5 qian, decocted in water. Dang Gui and Chuan Xiong generate Blood to nourish Heart; Ren Shen, Zao Ren, Mai Dong, Zhu Ru, and Dan Sha calm the mind; Shu Di Huang tonifies Kidney. Upper and lower support each other; Heart and Kidney mutually assist. How can irritability, palpitations, and delirium persist?
Postpartum Yangming Wind Evil causing severe panting and sweating is also untreatable. Wind Evil entering Yangming transforms cold to heat, causing severe panting and sweating. For healthy individuals, Bai Hu Tang (White Tiger Decoction) would be used, but postpartum Qi and Blood deficiency prohibits this. However, greatly tonifying postpartum Qi and Blood while simultaneously treating Yangming pathogenic fire may reduce the fire and eliminate panting and sweating. Use Bu Xu Jiang Huo Tang (Decoction for Tonifying Deficiency and Descending Fire): Mai Dong 1 liang, Ren Shen 5 qian, Xuan Shen (Scrophulariae Radix) 5 qian, Sang Ye (Mori Folium) 14 leaves, Su Zi 5 fen, decocted in water. Ren Shen and Mai Dong tonify Qi; Xuan Shen descends fire; Sang Ye stops sweating; Su Zi calms panting. It supports Righteousness without attacking Evil, eliminates Evil without damaging Righteousness, achieving miraculous results.
Postpartum Yangming Evil causing mania and Yang loss is untreatable. Mania is usually Excess Heat; postpartum mania is Deficiency Heat. Excess Heat can be cleared to stop mania, but Deficiency Heat cannot be cleared to stop mania. Yet, I believe it is treatable precisely because of Yang loss. Yang loss is mostly Qi deficiency; even with Excess Heat, Qi remains deficient. Thus, clearing Excess Heat must include Ren Shen, especially since postpartum is inherently a deficiency syndrome. Generally, for Yang loss, stopping sweating indicates vitality. I do not aim to stop mania directly but first stop sweating. Use Jiu Yang Tang (Decoction for Saving Yang): Ren Shen 3 liang, Sang Ye 30 leaves, Mai Dong 2 liang, Xuan Shen 1 liang, Qing Hao (Artemisiae Annuae Herba) 5 qian, decocted in water. One dose stops sweating, two doses stop mania. Do not use three doses. After two doses, regulate with Ren Shen, Mai Dong, Bei Wu Wei Zi, Dang Gui, and Chuan Xiong alone for natural peace. This formula treats acute Yang loss emergencies, not as a general postpartum miracle formula. Qing Hao, though tonifying, scatters more than tonifies; it borrows scattering-with-tonifying properties to remove Stomach fire temporarily. Overuse damages postpartum Qi and Blood, so change formulas after two doses.
Pregnant woman near term suddenly contracting Shao Yin Wind Evil, with aversion to cold, curling up, and cold extremities is untreatable. Shao Yin is the Kidney channel. Whether transmitted or direct invasion, this syndrome is often untreatable. Shao Yin Kidney channel prefers warmth over cold. Wind-Cold invasion weakens Ming Men Fire, filling Kidney Palace with cold, inevitably chilling the Uterus. Cold extremities indicate extreme Spleen-Stomach cold. Extreme Spleen-Stomach cold leads to death. I believe it can be saved because the fetus has not been delivered; urgently use warm-hot herbs. Name: San Han Jiu Tai Tang (Decoction for Dispelling Cold and Saving Fetus). Ren Shen 1 liang, Bai Zhu 2 liang, Rou Gui 1 qian, Gan Jiang 1 qian, Gan Cao 1 qian, decocted in water. One dose disperses cold and removes aversion to cold; two doses warm extremities and remove curling; three doses cure completely. Ren Shen and Bai Zhu secure Qi; Rou Gui and Gan Jiang dispel cold; Gan Cao harmonizes the middle. Although Rou Gui and Gan Jiang dispel cold, using them near term raises concern for miscarriage. However, their potency is fierce; Gan Cao harmonizes them to focus on dispelling abdominal cold without inducing labor, assisting Ren Shen and Bai Zhu to sweep away evil, achieving special merit. Not used arbitrarily.
Pregnant woman near term contracting Shao Yin syndrome with nausea, abdominal pain, and cold extremities is untreatable. Cold enters Kidney Palace, invades Heart upwards, not just soaking downwards into abdomen. This is heavier than the previous case. Kidney Water nourishes Heart; why does it attack? True Kidney Water nourishes Heart; Pathogenic Kidney Water destroys Heart. Now Kidney contracts Cold Evil, carrying Kidney Water to overwhelm Heart, causing heart and abdominal pain and cold extremities. This is urgent and critical. How to save? Treat Shao Yin Evil. Use Hui Yang Jiu Chan Tang (Decoction for Returning Yang and Saving Childbirth): Ren Shen 1 liang, Rou Gui 1 qian, Gan Jiang 1 qian, Bai Zhu 5 qian, Gan Cao 1 qian, Dang Gui 1 liang, decocted in water. The brilliance lies in adding Dang Gui. Shao Yin Evil dares to invade Heart because Heart lacks Blood. Dang Gui tonifies Blood, assisting Ren Shen to support Heart, providing nourishment. Rou Gui and Gan Jiang dispel cold and purge evil. Bai Zhu and Gan Cao benefit waist/umbilicus and regulate heart/abdomen. Naturally, pain stops and reversals cease. Zhang Zhong Jing said treatable after delivery using Du Shen Tang, saving after birth, not before. Before birth, urgently use my formula; after birth, urgently use Zhang Zhong Jing's formula.
Parturient near term contracting Shao Yin syndrome requires urgent large-dose warm Ren Shen and Bai Zhu; if ineffective, death ensues. This is Zhang Zhong Jing's text, implying no remedy other than Ren Shen and Bai Zhu. I believe using only Ren Shen and Bai Zhu is not foolproof. If ineffective, urgently add Fu Zi, Rou Gui, and Gan Jiang, likely responding effectively. I prescribe Quan Sheng Jiu Nan Tang (Decoction for Complete Life and Saving from Disaster): Ren Shen 1 liang, Bai Zhu 1 liang, Fu Zi 1 qian, Gan Cao 5 fen, decocted in water. Miraculous for any Shao Yin Evil contraction. Parturient 3-6 days after delivery suddenly experiencing curling extremities, rapid breathing/panting, nausea, and abdominal pain is untreatable. This syndrome contracts Shao Yin Cold Evil, forcing internal True Yang upward to Upper Jiao, creating false heat above and true cold below. Improper treatment leads only to death. Urgently use Ping Chuan Qu Han San (Powder for Calming Panting and Dispelling Cold): Ren Shen 2 liang, Mai Dong 5 qian, Rou Gui 2 qian, Bai Zhu 3 liang, Wu Zhu Yu (Evodiae Fructus) 5 fen, decocted in water. Two doses stop panting, two doses stop pain. This formula is a holy medicine for reversing Qi and calming panting, and a divine formula for dispelling cold. Incorrect administration often fails. Must decoct well, let cool slightly, and take in one dose. Medicine is hot, disease is very cold; one must follow its nature.
Parturient half-month to near full month suffering previous symptoms cannot use the previous formula; switch to Hu Chan Tang (Decoction for Protecting Childbirth). Ren Shen 5 qian, Fu Ling 5 qian, Fu Zi 1 qian, Bai Zhu 5 qian, Dang Gui 1 liang, Shu Di Huang 1 liang, Shan Zhu Yu (Corni Fructus) 5 qian, Mai Dong 5 qian, Niu Xi 1 qian, decocted in water. Half-month to near full month differs from immediate postpartum severe Qi/Blood deficiency. Thus, less Ren Shen is needed, and within Yang tonification, Yin tonification can be used. With Fu Zi to dispel cold, why worry about Yin stagnation?
Parturient after delivery with blue hands/feet and black body is untreatable. This is the heaviest Yin-Cold and most toxic vapor. Originally no method to revive, however...
