If delivery occurs before the gestational period is complete and the fetal Qi (vital energy) has not fully matured, it is termed Ban Chan (spontaneous abortion). This is generally due to deficiency of Qi in the Chong and Ren vessels in the pregnant woman, which fails to nourish the fetus, leading to instability of fetal Qi. It may also result from falls, bumps, sprains, or drops that damage and disturb Qi and Blood, or from febrile diseases such as warm malaria. All these can cause spontaneous abortion and must not be taken lightly; convalescence requires ten times the care of a normal delivery. Xue Lizhai stated: "Spontaneous abortion is more severe than term delivery. Term delivery is like a ripe chestnut falling naturally, whereas spontaneous abortion is like picking it unripe, breaking its shell and severing its root." However, many people neglect this and die as a result. The treatment method should focus on tonifying Zang-Fu organ Qi, generating new Blood, and removing Blood stasis. If delivery is threatened before full term with abdominal pain, Xiong Gui Bu Zhong Tang (Cnidium and Angelica Decoction to Tonify the Middle) with added Zhi Mu (Anemarrhena Rhizome) should be used to stop it. If bleeding continues after delivery, Renshen Huangqi Tang (Ginseng and Astragalus Decoction) should be used to tonify. If there is heart and abdominal pain after delivery, Danggui Chuanxiong Tang (Angelica and Ligusticum Decoction) is indicated. For spontaneous abortion due to weak fetal Qi, Bazhen Tang (Eight Treasure Decoction) is used to consolidate. If there is excessive bleeding accompanied by fever, Shengyu Tang (Supreme Healing Decoction) is used. If sweating continues uncontrollably, Dushen Tang (Single Ginseng Decoction) should be used urgently. If there is fever, irritability, intense thirst, red face, and a洪大 (surging and large) yet empty pulse, Danggui Buxue Tang (Angelica Tonifying Blood Decoction) is indicated. If there is body heat, red face, and a deep and faint pulse, Sijunzi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) with Ganjiang (Dried Ginger) and Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root) is used. Danxi said: "Deficiency and damage of Qi and Blood fail to nourish the fetus, causing it to fall spontaneously. Tracing to the root, this is because fire-heat consumes things, which is the natural order of creation. 'Bing Yuan' attributes uterine prolapse to wind-cold injuring the Zi Zang (uterus), which misses the true nature of the condition." I observed a Mrs. Jia who inevitably miscarried around three months of pregnancy. Her pulse was large and powerless on the left hand, and choppy upon heavy pressure, indicating Blood deficiency. As she was young, I only tonified Middle Qi so that Blood would naturally flourish. It was early summer, so I taught her to brew Baizhu Tang (Atractylodes Macrocephala Decoction) thickly and take one Qian of Huangqin (Scutellaria Root) powder. After taking 30-40 doses, she successfully preserved the pregnancy. Another woman in her thirties always miscarried. Observing her irritable and angry temperament, dark complexion, and solid Qi, I determined this was due to excessive Minister Fire failing to generate Qi and instead consuming Qi and damaging Essence. Therefore, I prescribed Huangqin, Baizhu, Danggui, and Gancao, starting from the second month until the end of the third month, after which she gave birth to a son.
