What are the Chinese medicine abortions

Abortion is a type of pregnancy that is terminated artificially. There are many reasons why people choose abortion, which may be practical reasons, unhealthy fetus detection in the abdomen, physical reasons of the pregnant woman, etc. However, no matter what the reason is, abortion causes great harm to the female body. There are mainly two types of abortion: surgical abortion and medical abortion. Medical abortion is further divided into Western medicine abortion and Chinese medicine abortion. Now let’s learn about the types of Chinese medicine abortion.

Chinese medicine abortion

It refers to a pregnancy within three months, when the body is not suitable for continuing the pregnancy, or to adapt to the requirements of family planning, and the purpose of abortion is achieved through internal or external use of Chinese medicine. There are many prescriptions and medicines recorded in the literature, such as

① Wang Jiamo's "Pregnancy and Childbirth Collection": "If a pregnant woman is thin or has a disease, her internal organs are damaged, and her qi and blood are exhausted, she cannot nourish the fetus, resulting in fetal movement but not firm, and ultimately unable to rest, then she can be treated with laxatives to avoid harming the pregnant woman. The prescription is Niuxi Decoction."

② Qian Jun's Secret Records of Strange Prescriptions: "Wash the roots of the earth knee and use several five-inch long roots. Tie the stems tightly, apply a little musk on the root heads, and put them into the vagina. They will come out in one day. Tie them well, otherwise they will rush to the heart and cause death."

③ Genxintang master's "Kun Dao Zhinan" prescription for abortion: "Schisandra chinensis, Trillium, Atractylodes lancea, Radix Angelicae Sinensis, and Tripterygium wilfordii are divided equally, and a small amount of ginseng." Prescription for abortion: "Radix Angelicae Sinensis, safflower, cortex moutan, aconite, rhubarb, peach kernel, cinnamon, and Curcuma zedoaria, each 5 qian, white vinegar paste to make pills. Take 3 qian each time, one dose at dusk, one dose at midnight, and one dose at five o'clock. Or one dose will cause the fetus to come out immediately, and no more doses are needed."

④ Gao Jingqi's "Du's Gynecology Collection": "6 liang of Dianthus superbus, 3 liang each of Gynura asiatica and cinnamon bark, 4 liang each of Achyranthes bidentata and Ulmus alba, cut into small pieces, boil with 9 liters of water and take 3 liters, remove the residue, and take it in three doses. One prescription does not contain Ulmus alba, but has 4 liang of Radix Trichosanthis, which can greatly induce abortion." The above literature materials are for reference in clinical research.

Natural musk is the secretion of the glandular sac between the navel and genitals of male musk deer. After drying, it is both a precious spice and a precious medicinal material. In addition to promoting blood circulation and relieving pain, unblocking meridians, opening up the orifices and refreshing the mind, it can also be used to induce labor. Artificial musk is a kind of medicine and pharmaceutical ingredient that can replace natural musk. The musk we come into contact with in daily life is usually artificial musk.

The medicinal properties of natural musk are relatively strong and can indeed cause miscarriage in pregnant women. However, almost all the musk we see in daily life now is artificial. Although it may have adverse effects on pregnant mothers, it is not as serious as shown in TV dramas, and it will not cause miscarriage immediately after smelling it.

Generally speaking, only pregnant mothers who are immersed in the scent of musk for a long time will have the chance of inducing miscarriage. Occasionally smelling musk perfume or musk ointment will not cause miscarriage, but pregnant mothers are advised not to smell it if possible.
