A friend, a pregnant woman, almost 30 years old, was first diagnosed on August 16, 2012, with an expected delivery date of September 8, 2012. She complained of insomnia for three nights in a row, and last night she was up all night. She has been waiting for delivery at her mother-in-law’s house for nearly a month, but due to different living habits, she is very uncomfortable and feels stressed. Because of the poor sleep, I feel upset, fetal movement, abdominal pain, pain like an appendicitis attack. I had been examined before and had a fetal malposition and the umbilical cord was wrapped around my neck. The moxibustion with moxa for Sanyinjiao was ineffective, her bowel movements were normal, her appetite was fine, and she had no other discomfort. Prescription: Radix Angelicae Sinensis and Paeoniae combined with Sour Date Soup. Angelica sinensis 10 g, fried white peony 50 g, white poria 12 g, fried atractylodes 12 g, zedoary 24 g, Chuanxiong 10 g, sour dates 30 g, roasted licorice 6 g, Zhi Mu 6 g. 5 doses, decoction in water, 1 dose daily, divided into morning and evening. On the night of the 16th, I slept for only one or two hours, but on the 17th, I got up early in the morning and started to sleep at noon, and started to sleep again after the evening meal, and did not wake up until nearly noon on the 18th, and felt comfortable after waking up. On the 20th, I found that the fetal position was correct and the umbilical cord was not wrapped around the neck. I was so happy. According to the Pregnant woman, because the whole body is full of Qi and blood to nourish the fetus, she is prone to deficiency of liver and blood, coupled with emotional and mental disorders, it will easily lead to liver depression and fire, which will disturb the heart and mind, resulting in distress and insomnia, and disturb the fetus, resulting in fetal movement and abdominal pain. The origin of the disease lies in the deficiency of liver and blood, and the symptom lies in liver stagnation and fire. The treatment is to nourish blood and calm the mind, dredge the liver and relieve pain. Sour Jujube Soup is taken from “The Sixth Book of Blood Paralysis and Void Labor Diseases”, the text is very concise: “Void labor and sleeplessness are caused by vain labor, so Sour Jujube Soup is used. Two liters of sour date palm, one tael of licorice, two taels of Zhi Mu, two taels of Fu Ling, two taels of Chuan Xiong. The above five flavors, eight liters of water, boil sour dates, six liters, the inner medicine, boiled to three liters, divided into three warm.” The previous sages have discussed in detail the mechanism of this formula for treating insomnia, such as the Jin Kui Essentials Commentary says: “The deficiency of deficiency labor, and annoyance is host to fire, can not sleep is due to fire and gas is also not smooth, the fault should be blamed on the heart. However, the heart of the fire, actually by the liver Qi depression and soul restlessness, then wood can produce fire. Therefore, the most important thing to do is to use sour date palm to enter the liver and calm the mind; Chuanxiong to pass the depression of liver qi as the minister; Zhi Mu to cool the lung and stomach qi, licorice to diarrhea the real heart qi, Fu Ling to guide the qi to the lower jiao as an adjuvant. Although it is said to be false and annoying, it has not been tonic heart.” The ancient and modern famous doctor’s formula said: “liver, striking the pole of the book. Also said: Yang Qi, annoyance is Zhang. Therefore, the strike will hurt the liver, strain is the essence, liver injury, the essence is extinguished, then deficiency labor false annoyance shall not lie Ming carry on. Jujube kernel acid flat, should be less Yang wood, and the treatment of liver pole, should be collected should be supplemented, with jujube kernel to two liters, to produce heart blood, nourish liver blood, the so-called acid to collect, acid to supplement is also. Gu liver depression wants to disperse, disperse with Chuanxiong’s pungency, so that supplemented by jujube seeds to regulate the liver and the camp, so called to pungency. The liver urgently wants to slow down, slowing down with the sweetness of licorice, preventing Chuanxiong from draining the liver and releasing the Qi, so to speak. However, the ultimate fear of labor, the fire in the kidneys, up to the lungs, it is not and still can not sleep, it is to ZhiMu Chong water, FuLing through the Yin, will be water strong, gold clear and soul from Ning, the gods condensed, the soul hidden and the body and quiet. This treatment of deficiency labor liver pole of the divine formula. It is a pity that people of later generations like to add and subtract when using this formula, thus leading to excessive addition and subtraction, which in turn loses the original intent of this formula to treat insomnia, and the effect of using it is not good. Angelica Paeoniae San is from “Jin Kui Yao Yao – The Twentieth Treatise on the Pulses and Evidence of Women’s Pregnancy”: “When a woman is pregnant with a baby and has pain in the abdomen, Angelica Paeoniae San is used.” and “Jin Kui Gao Yao Yao – The pulse evidence of miscellaneous diseases of women and the treatment of the 22nd”: “For women with pain in the abdomen from various diseases, Dang Gui Shao Yao San is the mainstay.” According to Professor Wu Bingcai, although these two original texts are very simple, one is for pregnancy “pain in the abdomen” and the other is for miscellaneous diseases “pain in the abdomen”, which shows that they focus on the word “pain” and the site of pain Both are in the abdomen. Although the causes of pain are very complex, the overall pathogenesis of the disease is no more than the two ends of deficiency and reality or a mixture of deficiency and reality. If the blood is not flowing smoothly, it is called “pain if it does not pass”; if the veins are not full, the tendons and veins lose nourishment and pain; if the deficiency is mixed with the reality, it is not smooth, nourishing but not glorious, the channels and veins lose moistening and pain. Therefore, the former people have “qi and blood are valuable for circulation”, which refers to the pain evidence. This formula emphasizes the use of Paeonia lactiflora to astringent liver, and Ying, and pain relief, and is complemented by Angelica sinensis, Chuanxiong to regulate liver and blood, and also Fu Ling, Atractylodes macrocephala, and Ze Xie to strengthen the spleen and permeate dampness. In summary, the whole formula has the power to nourish blood and dredge the liver, strengthen the spleen and promote dampness. Any abdominal pain that occurs due to liver and blood deficiency, spleen deficiency and dampness, resulting in disharmony between liver and spleen and imbalance of qi and blood, can be treated by this formula with addition and reduction. In addition, Guo Tianling used this formula for production, taking 4.5 g daily (in 3 doses), and observed 77 cases of pregnant women with fetus in breech position, and the rate of transposition reached 90.6%, which was significantly higher than that of the control group in chest and knee position (P<0.05). This method has a high rate of transposition, is safe, painless, non-invasive, and has a toning effect. Mr. Zou Mengcheng mentioned in his "Collection of Thirty Years of Clinical Experience" that his teacher Wu Zhutian made good use of Chuanxiong, saying, "If used sparingly, this substance can promote the dispersal of blood and cure head and eye pain. If used heavily (15 grams), it can contract the uterus and reduce the amount of bleeding. Chuanxiong is also often used to treat fetal malposition in pregnant women, and it is added to the formula for fetus, with good results in every case." Therefore, in this case, the author was also bold enough to use Chuanxiong, and the result was unexpected.
