Decoction of Motherwort (Yimucao): Crush fresh Motherwort Herba (Leonuri Herba, 益母草) to extract seven he of juice, decoct until reduced by half, and take in one dose; the fetus will be delivered immediately.

If fresh herb is unavailable, use a large handful of dried Motherwort Herba, add seven he of water, decoct, and take.

Another prescription: Mix half sheng of Ginger Juice (Shengjiang Zhi, 生姜汁) and half sheng of Rehmannia Root (Shengdihuang, 生地黄) juice, decoct until cooked, and take in one dose.
