Translation

Wherever a woman conceives and miscarries at the third month, though the qi and blood be insufficient, it is that the thoroughfare vessel has been damaged. The thoroughfare is the yang brightness stomach vessel, which supplies and nourishes the pregnancy. At this time she must carefully moderate food and drink, cut off sexual desire and guard against vexation and anger, and take this medicine — and she may then escape the trouble of miscarriage. Eucommia (ginger-juice fried) and white atractylodes (earth-fried) 2 nyang each; angelica (wine-washed), cooked rehmannia (ginger-juice fried), ass-hide glue (fried to beads with clam shell powder), slender scutellaria (stir-fried), motherwort, dipsacus (wine-washed) and cyperus (one packet each steeped in wine, vinegar, salt water and child's urine for three days, then dry-roasted) 1 nyang each; chuanxiong, mugwort leaf (vinegar-boiled) and tangerine peel 5 don each; amomum 2 don 5 pun. Powder them, bind with jujube flesh into pills the size of a firmiana seed, and take a hundred at a time on an empty stomach with rice broth. — Gogeum Uigam 醫鑑 (Donguibogam · Buin)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Three requirements are set beside the medicine — moderate the diet, abstain from intercourse, guard against anger — and the chapter says the formula alone will not do. 經三月而墮 — miscarrying at the third month — is treated as its own category, and Danxi's case at the end of this section explains why: the third month belongs to the ministerial fire, which is when a pregnancy is most readily lost. The cyperus is processed four ways, as in the Uterus chapter's Sajehyangbu-hwan at 13.9.7, and every other medicinal is fried or washed as well. Nothing here is used raw. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
