(One discussion, seventeen prescriptions)
Discussion states: Regarding difficult labor in women, signs of life and death are as follows: If the mother's face is red and tongue cyanotic, the fetus is dead but the mother lives. If the mother's lips and mouth are cyanotic with foam at the corners of the mouth, both mother and fetus die. If the mother's face is cyanotic, tongue red, with foam in the mouth, the mother dies but the fetus lives.
A miraculous prescription for treating fetal movement disorders, difficult labor, fetus dying in the uterus, or twin pregnancy with one dead and one alive, which expels the dead fetus and secures the living fetus:
Crab Claws (Xiezhua), one sheng; Licorice Root (Gancao), two chi; Donkey-hide Gelatin (Ejiao), three liang.
Take the above three ingredients with ten dou of water flowing from the east. First decoct crab claws and licorice root until reduced to three sheng, remove dregs, then add gelatin to dissolve. Administer all at once; if unable to take all at once, divide into two doses. If the patient is unconscious, pry open the mouth and administer the medicine; upon entry, the patient will revive. Build the stove facing east and use reed firewood for boiling.
Prescription for fetus dying in the uterus:
Processed Pearl (Zhenzhu), one liang; Bark of Elm White Layer (Yubai Pi), sliced, one sheng.
Take the above two ingredients with three sheng of vinegar (Ku Jiu), decoct until one sheng remains, administer all at once for immediate expulsion.
Prescription for fetus dying in the uterus failing to be expelled: Apply cow dung to the mother's abdomen for immediate expulsion.
Another prescription: Take three finger-pinches of Hearth Earth (Zaoxin Huangtu), take with wine for immediate expulsion. The earth should adhere to the head of the fetus; also treats malposition (nishi) and transverse position (hengsheng) where hands or feet appear first.
Another prescription: Boil two sheng of husband's urine and have the patient drink it.
Another prescription: Two sheng of vinegar, pry open the mouth and pour in.
Another prescription: Swallow fourteen Huai seeds (Huai Zi), also treats malposition.
Another prescription: Take one egg each from three families, one pinch of salt each from three families, and one sheng of water each from three families. Combine and boil, have the patient drink facing east for immediate expulsion.
Another prescription: One jin of Lupulin Herb (Qumai), decoct with eight sheng of water until two sheng remain; take one sheng, if not expelled, take the remaining one sheng.
Prescription for fetus dying in the uterus adhering dryly to the back:
Malva Seed (Kuizi), one sheng; Donkey-hide Gelatin (Ejiao), five liang.
Take the above two ingredients with five sheng of water, decoct until two sheng remain, administer all at once; if not expelled, decoct and administer again.
Prescription for sudden fetal death before full term failing to be expelled, causing the mother to desire suicide:
Decoct large soybeans (Dadou) strongly in vinegar (Ku Jiu); take one sheng per dose for immediate expulsion of the dead fetus. If unable to take all at once, divide into two doses.
Another method uses pure wine to decoct soybeans, also treating accumulations forming masses (Jia).
Prescription for fetal death in the uterus during pregnancy, where the placenta fails to be expelled after fetal death, causing abdominal pain radiating to the lower back:
Licorice Root (Gancao), one chi; Cinnamon Twig (Tonggui), four cun; Chicken Egg (Jizi), one; Sedge Spore (Puhuang), two he; Fermented Soybean (Xiangchi), two sheng.
Take the above five ingredients with six sheng of water, decoct until one sheng remains, administer all at once. This thoroughly eliminates foul matter from the fetal membranes and is highly effective.
Prescription for terminating pregnancy due to illness:
Mix one chicken egg with three finger-pinches of salt and take; the dead fetus will be expelled immediately. (This is similar to Ruan Henan's treatment for difficult labor.)
Another prescription: One sheng of Sprouted Barley (Maiya) powdered, mixed with one sheng of honey; take for immediate expulsion.
Another prescription: Three sheng of Medicated Leaven (Shenqu) collected on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, one sheng of vinegar, boiled twice. Fast overnight, administer all at once at dawn for immediate expulsion.
Another prescription: Five sheng of Large Barley Leaven (Damai Qu), one dou of wine, boiled three times, strain dregs, divide into five doses to finish. Do not eat that night. The fetus will be expelled like porridge, leaving the mother robust and free from disease.
