Placental Tear

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

This message came in response to a

question on the Midwifery Today e-newsletter. Thought it might be of interest

to some in the group.

: I am an herbalist in the Chinese Tradition. I studied in China in

the OB/GYN department of a large traditional hospital and have

practiced with a focus on women's health for 20 years. My teacher, Dr.

Qiu, used a special decoction - called Bu Jue Tang or Supplement

Certainty Soup for placental tears and early detachment of the

placenta - with dramatic results. Below is an excerpt I translated

from her book. A case study regarding the use of this formula can be

found at www.whitepinehealingarts.com.

 

Bu Jue Tang, Supplement Certainty Soup

Herbal Constituents:

Ren Shen Radix Ginseng (or Dang Shen Radix Codonopsis), 30 g.

Huang Qi Radix Astragalus, 24 g.

Bai Ji Mo Rhizoma Bletillae Striatae Powder, 6 g. Stir in.

Method: Decoct in water

 

Function: Consolidates qi, absorbs blood, " weeds through the old to

bring forth the new, " stops bleeding and engenders flesh.

Principle Use: Treats early detachment of the placenta.

 

Formula Explanation: This prescription contains Huang Qi Radix

Astragalus, which has a warm quality and a sweet bland flavor. It can

raise yang and supplement qi as well as heal wounds and grow flesh. It

also can absorb blood and stop bleeding, consolidating so that the

bleeding spontaneously stops. Ren Shen Radix Ginseng, (or Dang Shen

Radix Codonopsis) increases strength, supplements the middle, and

boosts qi. Bai Ji Rhizoma Bletillae Striatae sticks and pastes, takes

in and closes, and repairs damage. Therefore this prescription is

called " Supplement Certainty Soup. " It has a very good effect for

early detachment of the placenta.
