Formulas Name : Flower-Pistil Stone Powder
Chinese Name : 花蕊石散
Drug Formulation
1 jin of Hua Rui Shi, 4 liang of red sulfur mixed with earth.
Source
*Formulas for Universal Relief*, Vol. 348, citing *The Classic of Childbirth*.
Processing
Mix the ingredients thoroughly. First, use paper and clay to line a clay pot large enough to hold the medicine. Wait until the clay dries, then place the medicine inside. Seal the opening with clay, place the pot in a baking basket, and bake until thoroughly heated. Then place it on a square brick inscribed with the Eight Trigrams and the Five Elements. Use one scale of charcoal, arranging the basket in a circular pattern around it.Starting from the hours of Sì and Wǔ, kindle the fire from below; the heat will gradually rise through the structure. If any fire falls back down, place it back on the fire. Continue this process until the fire has cooled completely after one full night. Remove the mixture, grind it into a fine powder, sift it through a silk sieve until very fine, store it in a porcelain box, and use as directed.
Benefits
Postpartum stasis blood attacking internally, with foul blood surging toward the heart, leading to blood-induced confusion or fainting; or injuries from cat or dog bites, lacerations, falls, or blows, where stagnant blood accumulates and causes pain in the chest and lungs. Postpartum wind nearly causing death, with residual foul blood not fully expelled, resulting in blood-induced confusion or fainting, foul blood surging toward the heart, fetal death in utero, retained placenta, or even death—all accompanied by heat in the epigastrium.Wounds from sharp objects. All injuries caused by blades, arrowheads, blows, or falls; cat or dog bites; cases leading to death; or internal injuries where blood has entered the viscera. Yang deficiency with blood stasis, stagnant blood accumulating and obstructing the flow, causing pain in the chest and diaphragm.
Instructions for Use
One should always keep this remedy on hand to prepare for emergencies. For a woman who dies from retained placenta after childbirth—manifesting only as heat in the epigastrium—immediately administer one zhan of a child’s urine to expel the retained matter, which will resemble a pig’s liver. She will be free from blood-related wind disorders and phlegm-related qi disorders for the rest of her life. If blood accumulates above the diaphragm, it will transform into yellow fluid and be expelled through vomiting or in the urine.For any external wound causing bleeding, apply this mixture immediately; the blood will transform into yellow fluid. If the blood has entered the internal organs, boil the child’s urine with wine and drink it. For all postpartum conditions caused by retained lochia, use the child’s urine to prepare a purgative.
