The *Book of Songs* states: "Medicago sativa enables women to joyfully bear children." Lu Ji's annotation says: "Treats difficult labor in women." I have carefully examined Confucius' preface to the *Book of Songs*, which states: "Joyful childbirth, easy delivery." Later generations misunderstood this as "liking," which is incorrect.
Shenqin Wan for Treating Difficult Labor
This formula makes the fetus slender and the birth canal slippery, facilitating easy delivery. It should be taken during the last month before delivery, yielding miraculous effects. This prescription comes from Vice-Intendant Shi of Qizhou, transmitted by Grand Surgeon Xu of Qizhou.
