Qian Yi stated: Infants with robust prenatal constitution (Tai Shi) have ruddy complexions, dark and bright eyes with prominent iris coverage, and tend to smile. Infants with deficient prenatal constitution (Tai Qie) have sallow complexions, dark eyes but sparse iris coverage with prominent sclera, and tend to cry frequently. One must also distinguish the parents' body types; a fat father cannot produce a thin child, nor can a thin father produce a fat child.
"Tai Fei" (Prenatal Excess/Fatness) refers to infants born with thick muscles and ruddy skin coloration. After one month of age, they gradually become emaciated, their sclera turns pinkish-red, they experience five-palm heat (Wu Xin Fan Re), difficulty in defecation, and frequent salivation. The primary treatment is the Bathing Method (Yu Ti Fa).
Ingredients: Tianma (Gastrodiae Rhizoma, 2 qian), Xiewei (Scorpio tail, venom removed), Zhusha (Cinnabar, each 5 fen), Wushe Rou (Daboia sinensis meat, soaked in wine, dried, powdered), Baifan (Alumen, each 3 qian), Shexiang (Moschus, 1 zi), Qingdai (Indigo Naturalis, 3 qian).
Grind all ingredients uniformly. For each use, take 3 qian of the powder, add three bowls of water, one handful of peach branches with five or seven leaves, and decoct until boiling ten times. Use the warm liquid for bathing.
Do not bathe the back.
Dalianqiao Yin (Large Uncaria Decoction): Treats prenatal heat causing umbilical tetanus (Qi Feng), urinary retention, and various sores/toxins.
Ingredients: Lianqiao (Forsythiae Fructum), Qumai (Dianthi Herba), Jingjie (Schizonepetae Spica), Mutong (Akebiae Caulis), Chishaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Rubra), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix), Huashi (Talcum), Chanqiao (Cicadae Periostracum), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, stir-fried, each 1 qian), Shanzhizi (Gardeniae Fructum), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, each half qian).
Grind into powder. Take 2 qian per dose, add Zicao (Arnebiae Radix seu Lithospermi Radix), and decoct in water. If heat is severe, add Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma); adjust further based on specific symptoms.
Xue Ji stated: Tai Fei is caused by maternal stomach heat. The infant should undergo the Bathing Method to unblock the interstices (Cou Li). The nursing mother should take Dalianqiao Yin.
"Tai Qie" (Prenatal Deficiency/Weakness) refers to infants born with lusterless faces, thin muscles, white watery stools, lack of ruddiness in the body, frequent hiccupping and eructation, dull eyes, and lack of spirit. The Bathing Method is also suitable as the primary treatment. Chu Yushi said: Insufficient maternal qi leads to emaciation and thin flesh; insufficient paternal essence leads to delayed closure of the fontanelle (Jie Lu) and excessive scleral exposure.
When a newborn has yellowing of the entire body and face, resembling gold, accompanied by high fever, constipation, urine resembling gardenia juice, anorexia, and incessant crying, this is the presentation of "Tai Huang" (Prenatal Jaundice). This is caused by damp-heat contracted by the nursing mother being transmitted to the fetus. In such cases, both mother and infant should take Dihuang Tang (Rehmannia Decoction) and Dihuang Yinzi (Rehmannia Drink). If an infant remains slightly yellow at 100 days or six months without illness, it is due to stomach heat. If jaundice is present from birth, it is called "Tai Dan" (Prenatal Icterus). The Classics state: All icterus is heat-related; deep yellow color indicates this type. Xijiao San (Rhinoceros Horn Powder) is the main prescription. If the color is pale yellow mixed with white, it indicates stomach deficiency; Baizhu San (Atractylodes Macrocephala Powder) is the main prescription.
