Amber is the resinous fluid of the sea pine. Initially resembling peach gum, it later solidifies. It is warm in nature and primarily serves to stop bleeding, promote tissue regeneration, calm the heart (Shen), improve vision, and break up masses (Zheng Jia) and qi accumulations. For conditions such as postpartum blood syncope (Xue Yun) with fainting, and postpartum abdominal pain (Er Zhen Tong), this prescription is suitable for administration. The formula consists of: Amber 1 liang, Turtle Shell (Bie Jia) 1 liang, Burreed Rhizome (Jing San Leng) 1 liang, Corydalis Rhizome (Yan Hu Suo) 0.5 liang, Myrrh (Mo Yao) 0.5 liang, and Rhubarb (Da Huang) 6 zhu. These are processed by boiling and then pounded into a powder. Take three qian bi with wine on an empty stomach, twice daily. The efficacy is miraculous and unparalleled. For postpartum patients, reduce the dosage of Rhubarb. To verify authenticity, rub it warmly in the palm of the hand; if it attracts mustard seeds, it is genuine. There is also Southern Amber, but its quality does not match that imported from overseas. (Cited from *Daguan Bencao*, Vol. 12, p. 19; *Zhenghe Bencao*, p. 297; *Bencao Gangmu*, p. 1471)
