Pregnant women will pay special attention to their physical health in the early stages of pregnancy. When their bodies show some unusual reactions, they will become very worried, fearing that anything might happen to the fetus in their belly. They even dare not touch some Chinese medicinal herbs. In fact, the Chinese medicinal herb agarwood has no harm to the bodies of pregnant women, and it also has a certain calming and sleep-inducing effect. Patients with yin deficiency, excess of fire, or qi deficiency should take with caution. It is in irregular blocks, flakes or helmet shapes, and some are small fragments. The surface is uneven, with knife marks and occasional holes. Dark brown resin and yellowish white wood can be seen alternating between them. The holes and pits appear to be rotten wood. The texture is relatively solid, and the cross section is thorn-like. It has a fragrant smell and a bitter taste. 1. To treat Yin deficiency and kidney Qi not returning to its origin: Grind a few fen of agarwood juice, add three qian of Ophiopogon japonicus and Rehmannia glutinosa, two qian of Poria cocos, Chinese yam, and Cornus officinalis, and one qian of Paeonia suffruticosa, Alisma orientalis, and Citrus aurantium. Decoction in water and take with agarwood juice. (Compendium of Materia Medica) 2. To treat long-term spleen and kidney deficiency, water retention, lung meridian attack, cough, shortness of breath, abdominal distension, and difficulty urinating: one qian of agarwood, three qian of lindera stalks, half a liang each of poria, tangerine peel, oriental water plantain, and cyperus rotundus, and half a qian of musk. Grind the above ingredients into fine powder, mix with refined honey and make into pills as big as walnuts. Take 20 to 30 pills each time with boiled water.
