Ban Dou Yin

Ban Dou Yin,Postpartum cholera results from deficiency of the zang-fu organs, exposure to wind and cold, disharmony between yin and yang, and dietary imbalance—whether from cold or heat—leading to vomiting and diarrhea, as well as abdominal pain; or a sensation of a hard mass rising from the abdomen, surging upward toward the chest with severe, cramping pain, accompanied by drowsiness, a dark complexion, blue lips, cold extremities, and spontaneous sweating. These symptoms are indistinguishable from ordinary cholera, but the condition stems from postpartum blood deficiency.
