The *Zhubing Yuanhou Lun* (Treatise on the Pathogenesis and Manifestations of All Diseases) states: When fetal qi presses against the heart, it is due to improper regulation of daily life, causing fetal movement and rebellious qi ascent, thus resulting in the fetus pressing upward toward the heart. If the fetus remains positioned downward, birth will proceed normally.
The *Duanju Fang* (Short Drama Formulas) records a formula for treating fetal qi pressing against the heart: Bind a bowstring below the heart; the fetus will be expelled immediately.
The *Qianjin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) states: If the fetus moves toward the anus (breech presentation), apply hot salt compresses to the abdomen. (This is consistent with the *Ge Shi Fang*.)
The *Ge Shi Fang* states a formula for treating fetal qi pressing against the heart: Take blood from a black dog and drink a small amount; the fetus will descend immediately.
It further states: If the hands emerge first, chew salt and apply it to the infant's palms.
It also states: If the feet emerge first, write the character "Qian" (Thousand) with cinnabar ink under the infant's left foot and the character "Hei" (Black) under the right foot; normal delivery will ensue.
The *Zhubing Yuanhou Lun* states: This may result from fright or falling, or contracting warm diseases or cold damage (Shanghan). Pathogenic toxins enter the uterus, causing fetal death. The sign is that the area where the fetus lies feels cold, indicating fetal demise.
The *Duanju Fang* states: Swallow two liang of mercury; the fetus will be expelled immediately.
Another formula: Crush Xiongqiong (Ligusticum chuanxiong), take one fangcun bi (a square-inch measure) with wine; it is highly effective.
The *Seng Shen Fang* states: Take two stalks of Niuxi root (Achyranthes bidentata), crush them, pour boiling water over them, and drink the juice; the fetus (will be expelled immediately).
Another formula: Take Puhuang (Typhae Pollen) one fangcun bi with wine.

Another formula: Take San sheng of Antshi tu (Soil from ant hills), heat it, place it in a bag, and apply it below the heart; the fetus will descend. (Consistent with the *Duanju Fang*.)
Another formula: Kui Zi (Malvae Semen) one sheng, Ejiao (Colla Corii Asini) five liang (roasted). Add five sheng of water, boil to obtain two sheng, and ingest in one dose.
The *Jiyan Fang* states: Take Zaozhong Huangtu (Caulis Fornacis Terra Rubra), pinch with three fingers, take with wine; expulsion occurs immediately. (Consistent with the *Duanju Fang*.)
It also states: Treating difficult labor, partial delivery, retained placenta, fetal death in utero, fetal malposition (such as against the spine), or prolonged labor lasting several days on straw, where blood and qi rush upward disturbing the heart.
Formula for treating maternal pallor and impending collapse:
Cook Zhigao (Porcine Fat) one sheng, Baimi (White Honey) one sheng, Chunjiu (Pure Wine) two sheng.
Combine these three ingredients, boil to obtain three sheng, divide into five doses; highly effective.
It also states: Difficult labor with fetal death in utero. Also, for twin pregnancy where one fetus dies in utero while the other lives, a formula to expel the dead and preserve the living:
Xiezhua (Crab Claws) one sheng, Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) two chi (roasted), Ejiao (Colla Corii Asini) three liang.
Combine these three ingredients, boil in ten dou of East-flowing water to obtain three sheng. Add Ejiao and melt it; ingest in one dose. If unable to ingest at once, divide into two doses; upon ingestion, the living fetus will be preserved. (Consistent with the *Qianjin Fang*.)
The *Chan Jing* states a formula for treating fetal death in utero: Take Qumai (Polygoni Avicularis Herba) one handful, boil for two or three boils, drink the juice; expulsion occurs immediately. Another formula: Grind into powder, take one fangcun bi.
It also states: Talismans for treating fetal death in utero: (Write these two talismans with cinnabar and swallow them to deliver a live infant.)
