泰山盘石散 治妇人血气两虚，或肥而不实，或瘦而血热，或脾肝素虚，倦怠少食，屡
有堕胎之患。此方平和，兼养脾胃气血。觉有热者，倍黄芩，少用砂仁；觉胃弱者，多用砂
仁，少加黄芩。更宜戒欲事恼怒，远酒醋辛热之物，可永保无堕。徐东皋曰∶妇人凡怀胎二
、三个月，惯要堕落，名曰小产，此由体弱气血两虚，脏腑火多，血分受热，以致然也。医
家又谓安胎，多用艾、附、砂仁热补，尤增祸患而速其堕矣。殊不知血气清和，无火煎烁，
则胎自安而固。气虚则提不住，血热则溢妄行，欲其不堕，得乎？香附虽云快气开郁，多用
则损正气；砂仁快脾气，多用亦耗真气，况香燥之性，气血两伤，求以安胎，适又损胎而反
堕也。今惟泰山盘石散、千金保孕丸二方，能夺化工之妙，百发百效，万无一失，甫故表而
出之，以为好生君子共知也。

An Tai Yin (Fetus-Securing Decoction): Treats the fifth to seventh month of pregnancy; taking several doses can preserve the fetus.
Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Shudi (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata), Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, honey-fried), Zisu (Perillae Folium), Zhi Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, honey-fried) (each 1 qian).
The above herbs are decocted with ginger and water. Another prescription includes Sharen (Amomi Fructus).
An Tai San (Fetus-Securing Powder): Treats sudden lower back pain and bleeding during pregnancy.
Shudi (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata), Aiye (Artemisiae Argyi Folium), Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, stir-baked), Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, stir-baked), Ejiao (Asini Corii Colla, stir-baked), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, honey-fried), Diyü (Sanguisorbae Radix) (each 1 qian).
The above herbs are decocted with ginger, jujube, and water.
Taishan Panshi San (Mount Tai Rock-Solid Powder): Treats 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 spleen and liver qi deficiency, presenting with fatigue and poor appetite, and a history of recurrent miscarriages. This formula is mild and nourishes the spleen, stomach, qi, and blood. If heat is felt, double the Huangqin and reduce the Sharen; if the stomach is weak, use more Sharen and less Huangqin. It is also advisable to abstain from sexual activity and anger, and avoid alcohol, vinegar, and spicy/warm foods, thereby ensuring no miscarriage. Xu Donggao said: When a woman habitually miscarrying at two or three months of pregnancy, 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, and heat in the blood component. Physicians often advocate using warm-tonifying herbs like Aiye, Fuzi, and Sharen for securing the fetus, which only increases disaster and accelerates miscarriage. They do not realize that when qi and blood are clear and harmonious, without scorching by fire, the fetus naturally remains secure. Qi deficiency fails to hold the fetus; blood heat causes reckless bleeding. How can one expect to prevent miscarriage? Xiangfu (Cyperi Rhizoma) is said to move qi and relieve depression, but excessive use damages healthy qi; Sharen moves spleen qi, but excessive use consumes true qi. Moreover, their aromatic-dry nature injures both qi and blood. Seeking to secure the fetus with them actually damages the fetus and causes miscarriage. Now, only Taishan Panshi San and Qianjin Baoyun Wan can achieve the wonders of creation, with hundred percent efficacy and no failure. I hereby publish them for benevolent gentlemen to know.
Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Huangqi (Astragali Radix), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Chuanxuduan (Dipsaci Radix), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) (each 1 qian), Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Shudi (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata) (each 8 fen), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) (2 qian), Zhi Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, honey-fried), Sharen (Amomi Fructus) (each 5 fen), Nuomi (Oryza Sativa Glutinosa Granulum) (a pinch).

Dihuang Danggui Tang (Rehmannia and Angelica Decoction): Also known as Neibu Wan (Internal Nourishing Pill). Treats deficiency of the Chong and Ren meridians during pregnancy, nourishing blood and securing the fetus.
Shudi (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata) (2 liang), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) (1 liang).

For pill preparation: Stir-fry Danggui until dry, grind into powder; steam and pound Shudi into a paste, mix with powder to form pills the size of sophora seeds. Take over 100 pills per dose, with warm wine or boiling water. Scholar Xu said: Generally, pregnancy requires suppressing yang and assisting yin. However, prenatal medications must avoid mixing yin and yang chaotically, which leads to other diseases. Zhike Tang (Bitter Orange Decoction) suppresses yang, while Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) assists yin. However, Zhike Tang is mostly cold in nature; taking it alone may cause fetal coldness and abdominal pain. Adding Neibu Wan helps balance this, preventing yang from becoming too strong and yin from becoming too weak, thus harmonizing yin and yang and benefiting offspring. This was not discussed by predecessors.
