两，炼蜜丸梧子大。加肉桂一两，制附子五钱，名桂附八味地黄丸，又名金匮肾气丸。一方桂、附
有用各一两者。八味再加牛膝、车前各一两，名加味肾气丸。一方肉桂易桂枝。盖因阴气固结于中，
势必分解于外，则肾气得以流布周身之意耳。但仅存其方，而世人少有从而易之者。予按医方中，
又济生肾气丸，治肾气不化，小便涩数，并治产后脚肿，或肚肿，或成鼓肿，乃八味丸
本方，用茯苓三两，熟地四两，山药、山萸、丹皮、泽泻、肉桂各一两，附子五钱，加牛膝、车前各
一两。此本金匮肾气方中诸药，各减过半，惟桂、苓二味仍照原方，为宣布五阳、开发阴邪之专药；
更加牛膝、车前，为太阳、厥阴之向导。以肝为风木之脏，凡走是经之药，性皆上升，独牛膝通津利
窍下走至阴，车前虽行津液之腑，而不伤犯正气。既用牛膝引入至阴，又须桂、附蒸动三焦，不特决
渎有权，膀胱亦得以化，所以倍用肉桂，暗藏桂苓丸之妙用，愈于五苓十倍矣。但方中牛膝滑精，精
气不固者勿用。产后精气本自不固，用者审之。故杂证小便不通，济生肾气丸为善也。今世人所用肾
气丸分两多从此。再考后人不分八味、加味、济生分两悬殊，统以金匮肾气名之，殊觉混人，今特拈出。
东垣凉膈散 孕妇有病热，如目赤、口舌疮之类，各随其证，加减用之。

一钱） 红花（五分） 生草（三分） 炙草（二分）

妊娠期间出现头痛，多因血虚伴有内火，使用四物汤进行加减治疗。如果原本就有偏头痛或正头痛的旧疾，适宜用川芎茶调散。
若是外感风寒引起的头痛，使用加味芎归汤。
妊娠期间出现心腹痛，或者原本就有冷痞、痰饮积聚，或者是新近感受风寒，邪气与正气相搏结并影响气机，随着气机的升降而上下移动，向上冲逆到心脏则引发心痛，向下冲击腹部则引发腹痛，疼痛不止会导致胎动不安。如果损伤的是心脏本体导致真心痛，则早晨发病晚上死亡，晚上发病早晨死亡。如果损伤的是心脏的支络，则疼痛时好时发，《医通》使用正气散进行加减治疗。《尊生》治疗心痛，使用定痛延胡散。《医通》又说：胸腹部胀满，按压时感到疼痛，这是饮食停滞所致，用人参养胃汤。按压时不痛，这是脾胃受伤，用六君子汤补益。腹部胀满疼痛且牵连心胸，无法进食，使用千金芩术芍药汤。如果不定时出现腹痛，称为胎痛，有血虚和气滞两种原因，但血虚居多，用熟地黄三钱，当归一钱，煎汤治疗。如果无效，加入人参、白术、陈皮。丹溪使用四物汤去掉川芎，加倍使用熟地黄。《医通》使用四物汤加入香附研成粉末，用紫苏汤送服。如果是气滞引起的，用紫苏饮治疗。如果疼痛伴有沉重下坠感，是因为中气虚弱下陷，使用补中益气汤。
如果是胃口处疼痛，多因脾虚导致食物停滞不消化，适宜养胃消食，《纲目》使用平胃散加入枳壳、山楂。我认为平胃散恐怕会损伤胎儿，不太适宜，应该用养胃汤进行加减。
妊娠期间出现胁肋部疼痛，有因哭泣引起，因内伤引起，因恼怒引起，不宜使用破气药物，适宜用童便和酒送服，或者用紫苏饮去掉人参，使用白芍、当归，加入砂仁、童便。
妊娠期间脐下冷痛，腹胀虚疼，小便频数，大便虚滑，都是食用生冷食物导致的，用小建中汤加入炮姜、木香。如果无效，再加小茴香、良姜。
妊娠期间少腹部疼痛，属虚热用紫苏饮，属虚寒用胶艾汤。如果小腹靠近下方处肿胀、皮肤薄而光亮，这是孕痈，使用千金托里散或者薏苡仁煎汁饮用。如果心腹急痛，烦闷面色青黑，出冷汗甚至气绝，阴道流血不止，胎儿上冲，这是不可治之症。
妊娠期间腰痛，有肾虚引起的疼痛，则脉象大且疼痛不止，急需服用八珍汤加入阿胶、艾叶、黄芪，或者紫苏饮加减。有因劳累负重，导致胞系受损欲脱，适宜用安胎饮加入杜仲、续断。有因房事不节制，导致胞系受伤，用熟地黄、当归、阿胶、砂仁、竹茹、炙甘草，调入男子阴囊皮灰一钱服用，禁止房事一百天非常重要。有湿热证见脉缓，遇到阴天或久坐后疼痛，多排出白色分泌物，用二妙散加入柴胡、防风、茯苓、半夏。有寒湿导致腰部沉重，像带着重物且感觉寒冷，用紫苏饮加减，替换为健脾温燥的药物。有气血凝滞导致脉涩，白天轻晚上重无法躺卧，全身拘急不适而疼痛，眼睛出现黑花，用紫苏饮加入枳壳、桔梗。有膀胱受风邪，颈项强直，用独活寄生汤。有闪挫伤导致脉实，用胶艾芎归汤，或者佛手散，或者熬焦黑的红糖冲入童便、酒调服。有因服用毒药引起的，适宜用阿胶散，或者快捷方式方，或者三物解毒汤选用。有走注痛（疼痛游走不定），是败血进入经络的证候，用四乌汤加入薄荷、肉桂、杜仲、续断。有临产时腰痛如肾脱出者，这是即将分娩，不要当作普通腰痛论治，产后即可恢复平静，不必用药治疗。
妊娠期间腰腹及背痛，肾主腰部，劳损经虚，风冷乘虚侵袭则腰痛，乘虚侵入腹部则腹痛，所以腰腹相互牵引而痛，疼痛不止恐怕会导致堕胎。又有因劳伤导致腰腹背痛，用补中益气汤加入杜仲、续断。然而多有因病淋证而疼痛的，应当仔细体察，只用加味导赤汤治疗淋证，淋证治愈疼痛自除。如劳伤元气，用八珍汤加入杜仲、砂仁、阿胶、艾叶。如脾肾不足，再加白术、补骨脂。如伤于外邪，用独活寄生汤。若气血郁滞，用紫苏饮加入枳壳、桔梗。如肝虚有火，用小柴胡汤加入白术、枳壳、山栀。如肝脾郁结，用归脾汤加入柴胡、枳壳。
妊娠期间环跳穴疼痛，属于肾虚，适宜用六味地黄汤加入杜仲、续断，或者千金保孕丸。
妊娠期间目赤痛，咽喉痛，口鼻唇舌疮痛，都使用凉膈散进行加减。
妊娠期间因负重跌仆，凝血作痛，想要服用活血药，则恐怕损伤胎儿，不服用，则受伤的血液停留不去，治疗时，应当先辨别胎儿的死生，如果没有其他症状，只用红糖熬焦，加入陈酒、童便调服，细嚼带皮胡桃吞下，胎儿死则瘀血下行，胎儿活则疼痛立即停止。如果因愤怒跌仆，或者手足抽搐，用紫苏饮加入钩藤。如果失血过多，用八珍汤去掉茯苓加入阿胶、艾叶、黄芪。如果跌仆余伤未尽，疼痛未止，用四乌汤加入延胡索、木香。如果外伤已去而胎气未安，用紫苏饮加入童便、砂仁。如果伤势重者，用香壳散加入熟地黄、当归以保护胎儿。如果病情剧烈者，用下瘀血汤加入川芎、当归用酒煎煮以去除瘀血，则胎儿自然安定。此药峻猛严厉，必须详细审慎。如果出现昏睡、言语如狂，这是血迫心包，用当归活血汤。如果腹部有沉重下坠感，按压冰冷，这是胎气已伤，急忙用香桂散加入酒大黄、生附子攻下。如果口中觉得有秽气，急忙用平胃散加入芒硝攻逐。我认为下胎没有比佛手散更好的了，即使是香桂散也能下胎，又何须用大黄、附子来辅助它。然而以上提到的四乌汤、香壳散、下瘀血汤、当归活血汤、香桂散、平胃散等方剂，不可轻易使用，能不用则最好，只用熬焦的黑糖用酒、童便调服比较稳妥，或者嚼服带皮胡桃辅助。各方录在后面，以备参考即可。千万不要轻视佛手散、香桂散，而妄用猛烈峻厉的药物伤害生命。
妊娠期间遍身疼痛，或者痛至心胸欲死，不能饮食，这是因为胎有水气导致疼痛，用白术五钱，黄芩二钱，白芍四钱，加入活鲤鱼约半斤左右的一尾，煮汤代替水煎服。这就是胎水证，应当归入本门，因为伴有遍身痛的证候，所以移录于此，以备采取治疗疼痛的方法。

Headache during pregnancy is mostly caused by blood deficiency with internal heat; treat with Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) with modifications. If there is a history of recurrent migraine or frontal headache, Chuanxiong Chatiao San (Ligusticum Chuanxiong Tea-Pinginating Powder) is suitable.
For headache due to external contraction, Jiawei Xiongui Tang (Modified Ligusticum and Angelica Decoction) should be used.
Heart and abdominal pain during pregnancy may arise from pre-existing cold stagnation or phlegm-fluid accumulation, or from recent exposure to wind-cold. Pathogenic factors clash with healthy qi, affecting the movement of qi, which moves up and down. When rushing upward to the heart, it causes heart pain; when striking downward into the abdomen, it causes abdominal pain. Unrelenting pain may disturb the fetus. If the true heart is damaged causing Zhenxintong (True Heart Pain), death occurs within the same day (morning onset leads to evening death, evening onset leads to morning death). If the collateral branches are damaged, pain comes and goes intermittently. *Yitong* recommends Zhengqi San (Regular Qi Powder) with modifications for this. *Zunsheng* uses Dingtong Yanhu San (Pain-Relieving Corydalis Powder) for heart pain. *Yitong* also states: Fullness and distension in the chest and abdomen with tenderness upon pressure indicate food stagnation; treat with Renshen Yangwei Tang (Ginseng Stomach-Nourishing Decoction). Non-tenderness upon pressure indicates spleen-stomach injury; tonify with Liujunzi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction). Abdominal fullness and pain radiating to the heart with inability to eat calls for Qianjin Qinshu Shaoyao Tang (Thousand Gold Scutellaria, Atractylodes, and Peony Decoction). Intermittent abdominal pain is called Taipain (Fetal Pain), caused by either blood deficiency or qi stagnation, though blood deficiency is more common. Use Shudi (Prepared Rehmannia Root) 3 qian, Danggui (Angelica Sinensis) 1 qian, decocted in water. If ineffective, add Renshen (Ginseng), Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala), and Chenpi (Tangerine Peel). Danxi uses Siwu Tang removing Chuanxiong and doubling Shudi. *Yitong* uses Siwu Tang added with Xiangfu (Cyperus Rotundus) powdered, taken with Zisu Tang (Perilla Decoction). For qi stagnation, Zisu Yin (Perilla Infusion) treats it. If pain is accompanied by a heavy, bearing-down sensation due to sinking of middle qi, use Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Center-Building and Qi-Augmenting Decoction).
Pain at the stomach opening is often due to spleen deficiency with retained undigested food; nourish the stomach and digest food. *Gangmu* suggests Pingwei San (Stomach-Calming Powder) added with Zhike (Bitter Orange) and Shanzha (Hawthorn Fruit). I believe Pingwei San might damage the fetus and is not suitable; instead, use Yangwei Tang with modifications.
Hypochondriac pain during pregnancy can result from crying, internal injury, or anger. Do not use qi-breaking herbs. It is suitable to take Tongbian (Child's Urine) mixed with wine, or use Zisu Yin removing Renshen, adding Baishao (White Peony Root), Danggui, Shenren (Amomum Villosum), and Tongbian.
Cold pain below the umbilicus, abdominal distension with empty pain, frequent urination, and loose stools are all caused by consuming raw and cold foods. Treat with Xiaojianzhong Tang (Minor Construct the Middle Decoction) added with Paojiang (Roasted Ginger) and Muxiang (Aucklandia Root). If ineffective, add Huixiang (Fennel Seed) and Liangjiang (Galangal Rhizome).
Lower abdominal pain during pregnancy: for deficiency-heat, use Zisu Yin; for deficiency-cold, use Jiaoai Tang (Ejiao and Mugwort Decoction). If swelling appears near the lower abdomen with thin, shiny skin, this is a gestational carbuncle (Yunyong); use Qianjin Tuoli San (Thousand Gold Supporting Interior Powder) or drink decoction of Yiyiren (Coix Seed). If there is acute heart-abdominal pain, restlessness, cyanotic face, cold sweat, collapse, continuous bleeding, and fetal rising, it is incurable.
Lower back pain during pregnancy: if caused by kidney deficiency, the pulse is large and pain persists; urgently administer Bazhen Tang (Eight Treasures Decoction) added with Ejiao (Donkey-Hide Gelatin), Aiye (Mugwort Leaf), and Huangqi (Astragalus Root), or modify Zisu Yin. If caused by overexertion and heavy lifting damaging the uterine ligaments threatening prolapse, use Antai Yin (Fetus-Securing Infusion) added with Duzhong (Eucommia Bark) and Xuduan (Dipsacus Root). If caused by excessive sexual activity damaging the uterine ligaments, use Shudi, Danggui, Ejiao, Shenren, Zhuru (Bamboo Shavings), and Zhigancao (Honey-fried Licorice Root), mixed with 1 qian of ash from male scrotum skin; strict abstinence from sex for 100 days is crucial. For damp-heat with a slow pulse, pain worsening on cloudy days or after prolonged sitting, with discharge of white matter, use Ermiao San (Two Marvels Powder) added with Chaihu (Bupleurum Root), Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia Root), Fuling (Poria), and Banxia (Pinellia Tuber). For cold-damp causing heavy, cold sensation in the waist like wearing a weight, modify Zisu Yin with spleen-fortifying and warming-drying herbs. For qi-blood stasis with a choppy pulse, pain worse at night preventing sleep, general stiffness and discomfort, and visual floaters, use Zisu Yin added with Zhike and Jiegeng (Platycodon Root). For wind-pathogen in the bladder causing neck stiffness, use Duohuo Jisheng Tang (Angelica Pubescens and Taxillus Decoction). For sprain/trauma with a solid pulse, use Jiaoai Xiongui Tang or Foshou San (Buddha's Hand Powder), or take charred brown sugar dissolved in child's urine and wine. For toxicity-induced issues, select Ejiao San, Kuaiejifang (Quick Method Formula), or Sanwu Jiedu Tang (Three-Item Detoxifying Decoction). For wandering pain indicating stagnant blood entering meridians, use Siwu Tang added with Bohe (Mint), Rougui (Cinnamon Bark), Duzhong, and Xuduan. For severe lower back pain resembling kidney dislocation at term, this indicates impending labor; do not treat as ordinary back pain, it will resolve after delivery without medication.
Back pain during pregnancy is due to qi stagnation; treat with Zisu Yin.
Pain involving the lower back, abdomen, and back during pregnancy: The kidney governs the lower back; exhaustion and channel deficiency allow wind-cold to invade, causing back pain. Entering the abdomen via deficiency causes abdominal pain, leading to mutual牵引 (traction) pain between waist and abdomen. Unrelenting pain risks miscarriage. For trauma-induced back/abdominal pain, use Buzhong Yiqi Tang added with Duzhong and Xuduan. However, many cases involve pain due to strangury (Lin syndrome); examine carefully. Treat strangury with Jiawei Daochi Tang (Modified Guiding Out Red Decoction); once strangury resolves, pain ceases. For yuanqi injury, use Bazhen Tang added with Duzhong, Shenren, Ejiao, and Aiye. For spleen-kidney insufficiency, add Baizhu and Buguzhi (Psoralea Fruit). For external pathogen invasion, use Duohuo Jisheng Tang. For qi-blood depression/stagnation, use Zisu Yin added with Zhike and Jiegeng. For liver deficiency with fire, use Xiao Chaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) added with Baizhu, Zhike, and Shanzhi (Gardenia Fruit). For liver-spleen depression/stagnation, use Guipi Tang (Restore the Spleen Decoction) added with Chaihu and Zhike.
Pain at the Huantiao point (GB30) during pregnancy belongs to kidney deficiency; use Liuwei Dihuang Tang (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill Decoction) added with Duzhong and Xuduan, or Qianjin Baoyun Wan (Thousand Gold Pregnancy-Preserving Pill).
Red, painful eyes, sore throat, and sores/pain in mouth, nose, lips, and tongue during pregnancy are all treated with Liangge San (Cooling the Diaphragm Powder) with modifications.
Trauma from carrying heavy loads causing blood stasis pain: Using blood-invigorating herbs fears fetal damage; not using them leaves injured blood unresolved. Treatment must first distinguish fetal life or death. Without other symptoms, use charred brown sugar mixed with aged wine and child's urine, chewed with whole walnuts. If the fetus is dead, blood passes; if alive, pain stops immediately. For trauma induced by anger or convulsions, use Zisu Yin added with Gouteng (Uncaria Rhynchophylla). For excessive blood loss, use Bazhen Tang removing Fuling, adding Ejiao, Aiye, and Huangqi. For residual trauma pain, use Siwu Tang added with Yanhusuo (Corydalis Rhizome) and Muxiang. If external injury is healed but fetal qi is unsettled, use Zisu Yin added with Tongbian and Shenren. For severe injuries, use Xiangke San (Costus and Bitter Orange Powder) added with Shudi and Danggui to protect the fetus. For critical conditions, use Xiayuxue Tang (Eliminate Stasis Blood Decoction) with Chuanxiong and Danggui decocted in wine to remove blood, thereby securing the fetus. This formula is harsh; use with extreme caution. For lethargy and delirious speech indicating blood forcing into the pericardium, use Danggui Huoxue Tang (Angelica Invigorating Blood Decoction). For heavy bearing-down sensation in abdomen with coldness on pressure, fetal qi is damaged; urgently use Xiangui San (Costus and Cinnamon Powder) added with Jiuhuanglian (Wine-processed Rhubarb) and Shengfuzi (Raw Aconite Root) to purge. If foul breath is detected, urgently use Pingwei San added with Mangxiao (Mirabilite) to purge. I believe Foshou San is best for expelling the fetus; even Xiangui San can expel it, so why use Rhubarb and Aconite? However, formulas like Siwu Tang, Xiangke San, Xiayuxue Tang, Danggui Huoxue Tang, Xiangui San, and Pingwei San should not be used lightly. It is better to abstain and simply use charred brown sugar with wine and urine, or chew walnuts. These formulas are recorded below for reference. Do not slight Foshou San or Xiangui San, nor recklessly use harsh life-damaging drugs.
Generalized body pain during pregnancy, potentially reaching the heart causing death-like distress, and inability to eat, is caused by fetal fluid retention. Use Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala) 5 qian, Huangqin (Scutellaria Root) 2 qian, Baishao (White Peony Root) 4 qian, boiled with one live carp (approx. half jin) replacing water for decoction. This is the Fetal Fluid Syndrome, usually categorized separately, but included here due to generalized pain.

Liuwei Dihuang Tang (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill Decoction) (Includes Liuwei Dihuang Wan, Bawei Dihuang Wan named Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan, Jiawei Shen Qi Wan, Jisheng Shen Qi Wan):
Shudi (Prepared Rehmannia Root) (4 qian, nine-steamed nine-dried).
Mudanpi (Moutan Cortex), Fuling (Poria) (each 1.5 qian), Shanyuzhi (Cornus Fruit, pitted, pure flesh), Shanyao (Dioscorea Rhizome) (each 2 qian), Zexie (Alisma Rhizome) (1 qian).
Decoct in water. For pills: Shudi 8 liang, Mudanpi/Fuling 3 liang each, Shanyuzhi/Shanyao 4 liang each, Zexie 1 liang (ancient formula used 3 liang Zexie). Honey-pill size of wutong seeds. Add Rougui (Cinnamon Bark) 1 liang, Zhi Fuzi (Processed Aconite Root) 5 qian, named Guifu Bawei Dihuang Wan or Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan. One version uses 1 liang each of Gui and Fu. Adding Niuxi (Achyranthes Root) and Cheqiancao (Plantago Leaf) 1 liang each to the eight ingredients is named Jiawei Shen Qi Wan. One version substitutes Rougui with Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig). This addresses yin consolidation internally requiring dispersion externally to circulate kidney qi throughout the body. Only the formula remains, rarely modified by others. I note Jisheng Shen Qi Wan in medical texts treats kidney qi failure, difficult/frequent urination, postpartum leg/abdominal swelling, or drum-like bloating. It is based on the eight-ingredient formula: Fuling 3 liang, Shudi 4 liang, Shanyao, Shanyuzhi, Mudanpi, Zexie, Rougui 1 liang each, Fuzi 5 qian, plus Niuxi and Cheqian 1 liang each. Most herbs in Jin Gui Shen Qi formula are halved, except Gui and Ling remain original, acting specifically to disseminate five yangs and dispel yin evil. Niuxi and Cheqian act as guides for Taiyang and Jueyin. Liver is wind-wood organ; herbs traversing its channels rise, but Niuxi directs fluids downwards to the lowest yin, while Cheqian drains fluids without harming righteous qi. With Niuxi guiding to lowest yin, Gui and Fu vaporize/sanitize the Triple Burner, empowering water passages and bladder transformation. Thus, double Rougui hides the subtle utility of Guiling Wan, ten times superior to Wuling San. However, Niuxi causes seminal emission; avoid in those with unstable essence/qi. Postpartum essence is naturally unstable; users must be cautious. Therefore, for miscellaneous disorders with urinary obstruction, Jisheng Shen Qi Wan is best. Modern dosages of Shen Qi Wan largely follow this. Later generations confused the distinct weights of Bawei, Jiawei, and Jisheng,统称 (collectively naming) them Jin Gui Shen Qi, which is confusing. I highlight this distinction now.
