Inducing abortion and sterilization are not acts that benevolent persons would willingly undertake. However, in cases where a woman faces critical danger during childbirth or is too ill to bear the burden of pregnancy and delivery, methods for inducing abortion and sterilization become necessary measures of last resort and cannot be entirely discarded. Substances such as mercury (Shui Yin), flesh flies (Meng Chong), leeches (Shui Zhi), and blister beetles (Ban Mao) not only harm the fetus but also injure the mother; therefore, practitioners must exercise extreme caution and avoid reckless use.

Alternative Prescription: Regardless of whether the fetus is living or dead, apply two seeds of Ricinus communis (Bi Ma Ren), one seed of Croton tiglium (Ba Dou), and one fen of Moschus (She Xiang), ground into powder, to the umbilicus and soles of the feet to expel the fetus. If taken orally, swallow one pill with warm wine.
Another method states: To expel a living fetus, use one seed of Ricinus communis.
