妊娠心惊胆怯，烦闷不安，名曰子烦，竹叶安胎饮主之。大抵皆由心肺虚热，是以扰乱心烦。
或积痰于胸，吐涎恶食，亦令心烦，剧则胎动不安。如心肺虚热，或积痰于中，《千金》竹沥汤。若
吐甚，胎动不安，烦闷口干，不得眠，又吐涎过多，以致外虽不热，而觉五心烦热，或日间不
觉，而夜觉热者，并宜加味竹叶汤。至于娠妇烦躁口干者，缘足太阴脾，其气通于口；手少阴心，其气
通于舌。脏腑气虚，热乘心脾，津液枯燥，故心烦口干，与子烦大同小异，宜用加减参麦汤。

During pregnancy, if one experiences palpitations with fear and timidity, along with restlessness and discomfort, it is termed "Zi Fan" (Fetal Restlessness). The primary formula for treatment is Zhuye Antai Yin (Bamboo Leaf Fetus-Calming Decoction). Generally, this arises from deficiency-heat in the Heart and Lung meridians, which disturbs the mind causing irritability.
If phlegm accumulates in the chest, manifesting as spitting of saliva and aversion to food, it also causes irritability; in severe cases, it leads to restless fetus. If there is deficiency-heat in the Heart and Lung, or phlegm accumulation in the middle jiao, Zhuli Tang (Bamboo Sap Decoction) from *Qianjin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) should be used. If vomiting is severe, accompanied by restless fetus, irritability, dry mouth, insomnia, and excessive salivation, leading to a sensation of heat in the five centers (palms of hands, soles of feet, and epigastrium) despite no external fever, or feeling heat at night but not during the day, Jiawei Zhuye Tang (Modified Bamboo Leaf Decoction) is suitable. As for pregnant women experiencing irritability and dry mouth, this is because the Qi of the Foot-Taiyin Spleen meridian connects to the mouth, and the Qi of the Hand-Shaoyin Heart meridian connects to the tongue. Due to deficiency of Zang-Fu Qi, pathogenic heat attacks the Heart and Spleen, drying up body fluids, thus causing irritability and dry mouth. This condition is largely similar to Zi Fan, and Jiajian Shenmai Tang (Modified Ginseng and Ophiopogon Decoction) is appropriate.
