Actions: Nourishes the blood and dispels stasis; warms the channels and relieves pain.

Indications: Persistent dribbling of lochia and cold pain in the umbilical region; retention of the placenta and death in utero.

Method: Decoct with water. (The original book says the powder should be decocted in equal proportions of yellow wine and child's urine.)

Rationale: Dāng guī, Shú dì huáng, and ???chiyao nourish and harmonize the blood. Pào jiāng and Ròu guì warm the center and disperse cold. Pú huáng and Hēi dà dòu eliminate stasis and relieve pain. Gān cǎo harmonizes all the agents in the formula.
