During the fifth and sixth months of pregnancy, Shaoyin Junhuo (Heart Fire) nourishes the fetus's essence and blood; during the seventh to ninth months, Shaoyang Xianghuo (Gallbladder and Sanjiao Fire) nourishes the fetus's Qi. If a pregnant woman has an inherent excess of fire or is exposed to hot weather, causing internal and external fires to hyperact, resulting in palpitations, timidity, irritability, and restlessness, it is termed "Zifan" (Pregnancy-related Irritability). This condition is attributed to Heart Qi deficiency with internal fire. It is appropriate to use Zhuye Tang (Bamboo Leaf Decoction) or Zhuli Tang (Bamboo Sap Decoction); for severe cases, Zhimu Yin (Anemarrhena Infusion) or Xijiao San (Rhinoceros Horn Powder) may be used. If the pulse at the left Cun position is weak, Zhibai Yangxin Tang (Anemarrhena and Phellodendron Nourishing Heart Decoction) should be taken along with Anshen Wan (Calming Spirit Pill).
