Translation

Cut up, make one packet, add 3 slices of ginger and 2 jujubes, decoct in water and take. — Jeongjeon 正傳 (Donguibogam · Buin)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Where 1.29.8's other formulas treat postpartum delirium as stagnant blood reaching the heart, this one treats it as the heart simply emptied. The two readings sit side by side in the section, and the discriminating sign is whether the lochia is flowing. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
