,原属血虚,所生之血无几,一经伤耗,则阴血更虚,焉得不成内热骨蒸也,即藜藿之人,
不特无美食药力滋生气血,更兼自乳其子,则方生之血岂能骤足。倘本质瘦弱,又焉得而不
阴虚内热以成骨蒸也。故治产后虚弱,用参归汤。作寒热,白茯苓散。虚证杂见成蓐劳者,

产后因失血导致劳伤,再加上调养不当,致使出现骨蒸劳热。如果是富贵人家,虽然有美食和药物来调养,但必然会有其他事情不如意而恼怒引发肝火,耗伤刚刚生成的血液,也会导致饮食减少,身体虚弱疲倦。何况刚生产完的妇女,原本就属于血虚,所生的血量很少,一旦受到损伤消耗,阴血更加虚弱,怎么能不形成内热骨蒸呢?即使是平民百姓,不仅没有美食和药物来滋养气血,还要亲自哺乳孩子,那么刚刚生成的血液怎么可能迅速充足。如果体质本来就瘦弱,又怎么能不发生阴虚内热而形成骨蒸呢。所以治疗产后虚弱,使用参归汤。出现寒热交替症状的,用白茯苓散。虚证混杂出现形成蓐劳的,用鳖甲汤。没有明显疾病但感觉虚弱的,用十全大补汤,或者当归羊肉汤。有的治疗产后骨蒸,先服用清骨散,后服用保正汤,还有加味大造丸也能治疗骨蒸劳热。《医通》说:产后蓐劳,是筋力极度疲劳,忧虑思虑导致虚损。或者是产后调养不当,导致身体虚弱消瘦、气喘乏力,像疟疾一样的寒热交替,全身关节烦痛,头痛自汗,肢体倦怠,咳嗽痰逆,腹中绞痛刺痛,应当以扶正为主,用六君子汤加入当归。如果是脾肺气虚,咳嗽口干,用异功散加入麦冬、五味子。气虚头晕,用补中益气汤加倍使用当归、黄芪。肝经血虚,肢体疼痛,用四物汤加入人参、茯苓、白术、桂枝。肝肾虚弱,自汗盗汗,往来寒热,用六味地黄丸加入五味子。脾虚血弱,腹痛,月经不调,用归脾汤加倍木香。血虚有热,用增损柴胡汤。骨蒸劳热,咳嗽有经期的(或指特定病程),用异功散去白术,加入山药、丹皮、五味子、阿胶、童便。热而无痰、干咳的,用逍遥散,用蜂蜜煎姜、橘,蜜蒸白术。产后虚损,不时出现寒热,或者经过一两年,元气神气不能恢复,月经不来潮,先用千金当归芍药汤,后用乌骨鸡丸调理补益。大抵这个病症多因为脾胃虚弱,饮食减少,以致疲惫而成。应当补益脾胃,增进饮食,那么各脏腑有所依赖,病自然就好了!

Postpartum labor injury caused by blood loss, combined with improper nursing care, leads to bone-steaming consumption fever. If it is a wealthy family, although there are good food and medicinal power for nursing, there must be other matters that are not satisfactory, causing anger to stir up liver fire, consuming the newly generated blood, which can also lead to reduced diet, deficiency, emaciation, and body fatigue. Moreover, women who have just given birth originally belong to blood deficiency, with very little blood generated; once injured and consumed, yin-blood becomes even more deficient, how can it not become internal heat and bone-steaming? Even for common people, not only are there no good foods and medicines to nourish qi and blood, but they also breastfeed their children themselves, so how can the newly generated blood suddenly become sufficient? If the constitution is originally thin and weak, how can it not become yin-deficiency internal heat and form bone-steaming? Therefore, to treat postpartum weakness, Shen Gui Tang (Ginseng and Angelica Decoction) is used. For alternating chills and fever, Bai Fu Ling San (Poria Powder) is used. For mixed deficiency symptoms forming Ru Lao (postpartum consumption), Bie Jia Tang (Turtle Shell Decoction) is used.

For spleen deficiency and weak blood, with abdominal pain and irregular menstruation, Gui Pi Tang (Restore the Spleen Decoction) uses doubled Mu Xiang (Costus Root). For blood deficiency with heat, Zeng Sun Chai Hu Tang (Modified Bupleurum Decoction) is used. For bone-steaming consumption fever with cough having a menstrual cycle context (or specific course), Yi Gong San (Master Yi's Powder) removes Bai Zhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome) and adds Shan Yao (Dioscorea Rhizome), Dan Pi (Moutan Cortex), Wu Wei Zi (Schisandra Berry), E Jiao (Donkey-Hide Gelatin), and Tong Bian (Child's Urine).
