One Wumei (Mume Fructus), three Badou (Crotonis Fructus), and seven Hu Jiao (Piperis Nigris Fructus), ground into fine powder and pounded into a paste. Mixed with wine and vinegar, applied below the navel, it immediately facilitates the separation of the placenta from mother and child.
For difficult labor, secretly write the name of the Prefect of the current province on clean paper, burn it to ash over a lamp, mix with water, and take orally to induce delivery (from *Bai Yi Xuan Fang*).
For breech presentation, use one shed skin of Wushe (Dinodon rufozonatum), twenty-seven Chantui (Cicadae Periostracum), and a clump of Lanfa (Fetal Hair). Burn these three ingredients to ash, divide into two doses, and take with warm wine. After taking both doses, have the woman lie supine for a moment, and the infant will be born normally. Alternatively, prick thirty-seven times on the sole of the infant's foot with a small needle, immediately apply a little salt to the pricked area, and normal delivery will occur instantly, saving both mother and child (from Liu Yingshu's *Yi Wan*).
Another moxibustion method for dystocia: Zhang Wenzhong treated a woman with transverse lie where the hand presented first; various talismans and medicines were ineffective. He moxibusted the tip of the woman's right little toe with three cones, each the size of a wheat grain. Upon extinguishing the fire, delivery occurred immediately.
For all miscellaneous conditions after childbirth, first use Shenghua Tang (Life Return Decoction) to remove blood stasis and generate new blood, then use Bazhen Tang (Eight Treasures Decoction) to greatly tonify Qi and Blood. Even if there are miscellaneous conditions, they should be temporarily disregarded. This is because postpartum conditions involve deficiency; only by tonifying Qi and Blood can the pathogenic factors naturally dissipate once Qi and Blood are restored, leading to peace and health. This is Gao Gugeng's theory, originating from Mr. Zhu Danxi. Contemporary physicians mostly follow this view, so it is preserved here.
Shenghua Tang (Life Return Decoction)
Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 5 qian) Chuanxiong (Chuanxiong Rhizoma, 2 qian) Paojiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Preparatum, 0.5 qian) Taoren (Persicae Semen, 1.5 qian) Zhigancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Preparata, 1 qian). Decoct in water and take orally.
Additionally, for wind-stroke after childbirth characterized by lockjaw and opisthotonos, Huatuo Yufeng San (Huatuo's Wind-Dispelling Powder) is suitable.
Jingjiesui (Schizonepetae Spica, 2 or 3 liang, dried by roasting and powdered). Use 3 or 5 qian per dose, taken with half wine and half Tongbian (Infant Urine). If lockjaw prevents swallowing, use 1 liang, decoct with Tongbian, and instill through the nose.
Scanty lactation after childbirth is due to insufficiency of Qi and Blood; Zhuti Tang (Pig Trotter Decoction) is indicated.
Sheng Huangqi (Astragali Radix, 1 liang) Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 5 qian) Baizhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, 3 qian) Mutong (Akebiae Caulis, 1 qian). Boil two anterior pig trotters to obtain five bowls of broth. Use two and a half bowls of this broth to decoct the herbs until reduced to 0.8 bowl volume. Take orally, then lie on one side for one shichen (two hours). When milk flows, have someone suckle to empty the breast. Remove dregs, and decoct again with the pig trotter broth.
Yulin Zhu (Fertility Pearl, from *Jing Yue Quan Shu*) treats infertility in women due to combined deficiency of Qi and Blood and emaciation.
Renshen (Ginseng Radix) Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, stir-fried) Fuling (Poria) Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix, wine-fried, 2 qian each) Chuanxiong (Chuanxiong Rhizoma) Zhigancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Preparata, 3 liang each) Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) Shudi (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata) Tusizi (Cuscutae Semen, 4 liang each) Duzhong (Eucommiae Cortex, wine-fried) Lujiaoshuang (Cornu Cervi Pantotrichum Preparatum) Chuanjiao (Sichuan Pepper, stir-fried until oil exudes, 2 liang each).
Prepare pills with refined honey, sized like bullet seeds. Chew one or two pills on an empty stomach, taken down with wine or plain water. Small pills for swallowing are also acceptable.
If menstruation is delayed with abdominal pain, add Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus), Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata), Wuyu (Evodiae Fructus), etc. If heat in the blood causes early menstruation, add Digupi (Lycii Cortex) and Xuduan (Dipsaci Radix), etc.
