(For women whose menstruation has ceased for three months and pregnancy is suspected, this method can be used for verification.)
Chuanxiong Rhizoma (amount unspecified, ground into powder, not subjected to fire roasting)
Take on an empty stomach with decoction of Mugwort Leaf mixed in; administer 5 fen. If movement is felt in the abdomen, pregnancy is confirmed. If pulsation is felt below the umbilicus, it indicates Blood Stasis mass (Xue Jia). If there is no pulsation, it indicates Blood coagulation.
(Treating women with deficiency of both Qi and Blood, or those who are obese but constitutionally weak, or thin with Heat in the Blood, or with inherent deficiency of Liver and Spleen, manifesting as lassitude, poor appetite, and recurrent miscarriage.)
This formula is mild and harmonious, nourishing the Spleen and Stomach while tonifying Qi and Blood. If Heat sensation is perceived, double the dosage of Scutellaria Root and reduce Amomum Fruit. If Stomach weakness is perceived, increase the dosage of Amomum Fruit.
Furthermore, one should avoid anger and sexual activity, and abstain from alcohol, vinegar, and pungent-warm foods, thereby ensuring the prevention of miscarriage.)
Codonopsis Radix (roasted) Glutinous Rice (each 3 qian) Astragalus Membranaceus Root (honey-fried) Dipsacus Asperoides Root Scutellaria Baicalensis Root (each 1 qian) Chuanxiong Rhizoma Licorice Root (honey-fried) Amomum Fruit
Decoct in plain water and take orally. If pregnancy is already established, one may regularly take one dose every three to five days. After four months, safety can be assured. The herbal dregs may be poured into ponds or rivers.
(Treating pregnant women with lower back pain and habitual miscarriage; taking this can prevent premature delivery.)
Dipsacus Asperoides Root (2 liang, mixed with wine and stir-fried) Eucommia Bark (4 liang, sliced and stir-fried with white glutinous rice until the fibers break)
Grind all ingredients into fine powder. Use 4 liang of Chinese Yam to make a paste for pill formation, sized like paulownia seeds. Take 80-90 pills each time, swallowed with rice gruel on an empty stomach. Avoid anger and abstain from alcohol and vinegar.
Xu Donggao stated: When women habitually miscarry at two or three months of gestation, it is called "minor abortion" (Xiao Chan). This is due to weak constitution, deficiency of both Qi and Blood, excessive Fire in the Zang-Fu organs, causing Blood heat to scorch and Qi stagnation to disturb the fetus.
(Treating threatened miscarriage due to deficiency of menstrual blood.)
Chuanxiong Rhizoma (6 fen) Angelica Sinensis Root Body Fried Paeonia Lactiflora Root Poria Cocos (each 1 qian) Codonopsis Radix (honey-fried) Rehmannia Glutinosa Root (roasted, each 3 qian) Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizoma (charred, 1 fen) Jujube Fruit
(Note: The original text here is fragmented; context implies that proper regulation leads to safe delivery.)
(Gestational age of five to seven months; taking several doses can ensure full-term delivery.)
Codonopsis Radix Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizoma Angelica Sinensis Root Prepared Rehmannia Glutinosa Root Chuanxiong Rhizoma Fried Paeonia Lactiflora Root Tangerine Peel Licorice Root (roasted) Perilla Leaf Scutellaria Baicalensis Root (roasted, each 1 qian)
Add 5 fen of Ginger as a guiding herb. Decoct in plain water and take orally.
