Translation

Treats the days before the menses come: outward tidal heat and inward vexation, cough with scant eating, a clouded head and flowering vision; vaginal discharge; blood wind and blood Qi; long without children; and all patterns of phlegm and fire. Taken, it brings pregnancy. It also treats fetal stirring and fetal leaking before birth, and taken regularly there is no trouble of miscarriage.

Avoid eating blood foods. — Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Buin)

Clinical commentary 臨床

The formula the chapter offers for two situations at once — the premenstrual week of heat, cough, and dizziness, and the pregnancy that keeps being lost. Its logic connects them: both are read as Blood too thin to hold what it should, with heat rising into the space. Scutellaria and white atractylodes, the classical fetus-quieting pair, sit in the middle of a Four Substances frame, and the forty-nine dry-fried black beans are the vehicle, as in several formulas of this chapter. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl.
