产后颠症,狂言谵语,或乍见鬼神,甚有不避亲疏,不知羞耻者,其间有血虚神不守舍者,有败血未尽误补
而然者,有心脾本虚,妄思妄想致心神不宁者。治法用安神定志丸倍人参加归芎主之,佐以归脾汤。予制定神汤,
每用取效,此皆安神补虚之意也。盖初知瘀未清,早用失笑丸、花蕊散逐去败瘀,则新血自生,安有颠狂之变?
此为姑息错治者成耳。病久名曰失心症,有绵延数载者,治法惟白金丸,真妙也。

产后癫症,表现为胡言乱语、说梦话,或者突然看见鬼神,严重的甚至不避亲疏、不知羞耻。这种情况中,有的是因为血虚导致心神不能安守其舍;有的是因为有败血(瘀血)未尽,误用补药而导致的;有的是因为心脾本来虚弱,因胡思乱想导致心神不宁。治疗方法使用安神定志丸,倍用人参,加入当归、川芎来主治,同时辅助使用归脾汤。我制定了定神汤,每次使用都能取得疗效,这其中的意思都是安神和补虚。大概如果一开始就知道瘀血未清,尽早使用失笑丸、花蕊散来驱逐败瘀,那么新血自然会产生,怎么会有癫狂的变故呢?这是姑息养错治造成的罢了。病程久了叫做失心症,有的绵延数年,治疗方法只有白金丸,真是奇妙啊。

Postpartum mania is characterized by incoherent speech, delirium, or suddenly seeing ghosts and spirits. In severe cases, patients may not distinguish between relatives and strangers or feel any sense of shame. Among these cases, some are due to blood deficiency causing the spirit to fail to reside within its abode; some result from residual foul blood (stasis) that was mistakenly treated with tonics; others arise from inherent deficiency of the Heart and Spleen, leading to restless thoughts and an unsettled Heart Spirit. The treatment method involves using Anshen Dingzhi Wan (Calming the Spirit and Stabilizing Will Pill) with doubled Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma (Renshen), added with Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Danggui) and Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizoma (Chuanxiong) as the main prescription, assisted by Guipi Tang (Restore the Spleen Decoction). I formulated Dingshen Tang (Stabilize the Spirit Decoction), which has been effective in every use, embodying the principles of calming the spirit and tonifying deficiency. Generally, if one recognizes early on that stasis has not cleared, and employs Shixiao Wan (Pain-Relieving Pill) and Huarui San (Flower Coral Powder) early to expel the foul stasis, new blood will generate naturally, preventing such manic transformations. These conditions arise only from negligent and incorrect treatments. When the disease persists for a long time, it is called Shixin Syndrome (Loss of Heart Mind), which may last for several years. The treatment is solely with Baijin Wan (White Gold Pill), which is truly miraculous.

Hupo Dihuang Wan
This formula treats postpartum accidental pathogenic invasion where lochia stops abruptly, accompanied by aversion to cold and fever, resembling malaria. The patient is lucid during the day but delirious at night. This is identical to Heat Entering the Blood Chamber (Re Ru Xue Shi), both being diseases of the Blood aspect. Using this pill is extremely effective; attacking phlegm would be a mistake.
