Translation

Treats foetal stirring with bleeding in the eighth or ninth month, and also bleeding that continues without stopping after miscarriage. Ass-hide glue beads, mugwort leaf, chuanxiong and angelica 2 don each; licorice (mix-fried) 1 don. Cut up, make one packet, decoct in water and take. Where foetal stirring comes with abdominal pain, or a yellow fluid descends like lacquer or like bean broth, wild ramie root and honeysuckle root 5 don each, decocted in half water and half wine. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Buin)

Clinical commentary 臨床

如漆如豆汁 — like lacquer or like bean broth — describes a thick dark discharge rather than fresh blood, and the appended formula is for that presentation specifically. Wild ramie root and honeysuckle root are registered in this database from this entry. Both are cooling and both are used for heat toxin, which is how the chapter reads a discharge of that colour and consistency. **Bleeding in the third trimester is an obstetric emergency requiring immediate hospital assessment. Bleeding that continues after miscarriage may indicate retained products or infection.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
