[Procedure to remove placenta post-delivery] Immediately after the delivery of the child, one should confirm whether the placenta has been expelled out or not. If it is not expelled, then one of the female attendants should forcefully press her abdomen from above the navel region with her right hand and holding her back with left, should give a good shake to the body of the patient. The hip region of the patient should be pressed with the heels and her buttocks should be taken by hand and strongly pressed by the attendant. Her throat should be rubbed with the braid of her hair. The genital tract should be fumigated with the leaves of bhurja (Betula utilis D. Don.), kachamani (quartz) and sarpanirmoka (slough of serpent). She should be given paste of kushta (Saussurea lappa C. B. Clarke) and talisa (Abies webbiana Lindl.) mixed with the soup of balwaja (a hemp-like plant) or strong liquor of maireya and sura-like beverages for drinking, or the soup of kulaththa (Dolichos biflorus Linn. - horse gram) or decoctions of mandukaparni (Centella asiatica Urban.) and pippali (Piper longum Linn.). The paste of laghu ela (Elettaria cardamomum Moton.), kilima (Devadaru – Cedrus deodara Loud.), kushta (Saussurea lappa C.B. Clarke), shunthi (Zingiber officinale Rosc.), vidanga (Embeliaribes Burm f.), pippali (Piper longum Linn.), kalagaru (Aquilaria agallocha Roxb. – black variety), chavya (Piper chaba Junter.), chitraka (Plumbago zeylanica Roxb.) and upakunjika (Nigella sativa Linn.)and crushed pieces of the right ear of a living untamed bull, pounding it on grinding stone and keeping it for some time in one of the decoctions of Balwaja (-?-) etc.;The liquid portion of this decoction should be administered to the patient as a drink. A cotton swab soaked in the oil prepared with shatapushpa (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.), kushta (Saussurea lappa C. B. Clarke), Madana (Randia dumetorum Lam.) and hingu (Ferula narthex Boiss.) should be inserted into her vaginal passage, and with the same oil, anuvasana basti (unctuous enema) should be administered to her. The decoction of Balwaja(-?-) should be mixed with apaste of madanaphala(Randia duemtorum Lam.), devadali (Luffaechinata Roxb.),ikshvaku (Legenaria siceraria Standl.), dhamargava (Luffa cylindrica M. Roem.), kutaja (Holarrhena antidysenterica Wall.), kritavedhana (Luffa acutangula Roxb.) and gajapippali (Scindapsus officilanlis Schott.) and administered in the form of asthapana basti (non-unctuous enema).This non-unctuous enema will lead to the expulsion of the retained placenta while passing flatulence, urine and bowel movementsby the downward movement of vayu. Bodily wastes have a tendency to come out of the body naturally, but may get obstructed inside the abdomen, obstructing the ejection of the placenta too.

[Measuring the umbilical cord] Thereafter, the umbilical cord is measured. The cord should be marked at a distance of eight angula (thumb-length) from its base where it is attached at the navel of the child, and then holding the cord gently and firmly on both the ends, it should be cut with a sharp half-edged instrument made of gold, silver or iron (steel). The portion of the cord at the navel side should be tied with a thread and then loosely tied to the neck of the child. If the umbilicus end gets suppurated, then it should be anointed with oil prepared with paste of lodhra (Symplocos racemosa Roxb.), madhuka (Glycyrrhiza glabra Linn.), priyangu (Callicarpa macrophylla Vahl.), devadaru (Cedrus deodara Loud.) and haridra (Curcuma longa Linn.), and the powder of the same drugs should be sprinkled over the cut surface.

In case of these complications, by carefully observing the severity of the condition (mild to severe involvement of the doshas), it should be treated using massages, unction, and sprinkling of ghee prepared with drugs that are non-irritants and vata and pitta pacifying.
