Ordinary illnesses are generally easy to treat, whereas the safety of a pregnant woman during childbirth is often determined within a matter of moments. I have collected two prescriptions: Daseng Tang (Da Sheng Decoction) and Shenghua Tang (Sheng Hua Decoction). The former is taken continuously for several doses from the eighth or ninth month of pregnancy, making delivery as easy as giving birth to a lamb; the latter is taken continuously for one or two doses immediately after labor begins but before eating, preventing complications such as fainting and severe pain. The cost of these medicines is minimal, and they can be easily obtained if prepared according to the method.
To be taken before delivery.
