Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

催生神效, 又治子死腹中不下. 明乳香硏細, 取猪心血和丸芡實大, 朱砂爲衣, 曬乾, 每一丸, 冷酒化下, 未下再服. 端午日, 或歲除夜收合, 尤妙. 《綱目》

Translation

Hastens the birth with spirit-like effect, and also treats a foetus dead in the belly that will not come down. Clear frankincense ground fine, bound with pig's heart blood into pills the size of a euryale seed, coated with cinnabar and sun-dried; take one at a time dissolved in cold wine, and if it does not come down take again. Compounding it on the Dano festival or on New Year's Eve is better still. — Uihak Gangmok 綱目 (Donguibogam · Buin)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Heart blood used to bind a formula meant to move blood is the organ-for-organ reasoning that runs through the Bogam, and the auspicious compounding days are of a piece with the Imja-day instruction at 1.3.8. **Contains cinnabar, which is mercury sulfide. Intrauterine fetal death requires hospital management; retained products cause infection and coagulopathy.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
