The female who has a history of habitual abortion should first of all free herself from mental tension and ner&ousness. In ordinary daily life she should refrain from se-ual acti&ity. 0specially in the first and last trimesters of pregnancy se-ual intercourse should be forbidden so as to pre&ent miscarriage and premature birth. !abitual abortion caused by coldness of the uterus may be pre&ented y fre%uently eating eggs boiled with 1olium Artemisiae Argyi. Another way to pre&ent abortion is to use phoeni- coat which refers to the inner membrane of the egg shell as the chick has been hatched. 'ut a proper amount of phoenicoat on a clean tile and bake it slowly by soft fire till it turns yellowish. Infuse of the drug into hot rice soup. Take the prepared mi-ture twice a day for < successi&e days starting in ad&ance of the same month as that of the pre&ious abortion.
