Instructions for Use

For each dose, combine one zhan of high-quality, ash-free liquor with one zhan of urine, and decoct until reduced to one zhan. Shortly after giving birth, take one dose of this decoction; if the placenta fails to expel, taking it will cause it to expel immediately; even if the delivery proceeds without complications, take two doses to ensure no postpartum complications arise, and all pathological stagnations will be expelled. Before the start of the next menstrual cycle, the medicinal ingredients should be gathered and stored in advance.
