Postpartum diarrhea leads to yin exhaustion, depletion of body fluids, and inability to nourish the upper body, resulting in extreme thirst and excessive drinking. In the prescription, Ophiopogon Tuber is used to generate fluids and moisten dryness, nourishing the upper source of metal and water; Smoked Plum is used to astringe and consolidate fluids, preventing the loss of body fluids below. The formula is taken as a powder with rice water to ensure the harmonization of stomach qi, allowing body fluids to ascend and nourish the upper body, thereby alleviating the extreme thirst.
