ABSTRACT Formulas that are mainly composed of herbs that induce vomit, have the effect of vomiting phlegmatic saliva, retained food and poisons and indicated for the treatment of phlegm-drool syndrome, food accumulation syndrome, and poisons in the stomach are called “Formulas That Induce Vomit.” Keywords: formulas that induce vomit; vomit induction; induce vomiting of phlegm-drool
Formulas that are mainly composed of herbs that induce vomit, have the effect of vomiting phlegmatic saliva, retained food and poisons and indicated for the treatment of phlegm-drool syndrome, food accumulation syndrome, and poisons in the stomach are called “Formulas That Induce Vomit.” The therapeutic method of these formulas is set up according to “Relieve disease in the upper body by emetic therapy (vomit induction)” in The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic (huang di nei jing), which belongs to one of the eight [medicinal treatment] methods: vomit induction. The effects of formulas that induce vomit are to induce phlegm-drool, retained food or poisons stagnated in the throat, chest, and diaphragm or stomach cavity out from the mouth by vomiting. Formulas that induce vomit are often used for the treatment of food retention in the stomach cavity, poisons still staying in the stomach, phlegm-drool obstruction of stroke, mania or throat bì (pharyngitis), and dry cholera with incapability of vomiting and diarrhea but in urgent need of vomiting due to pathogenic condition. For stroke, mania or throat bì with short of breath caused by exuberance and accumulation of phlegm-drool obstructing the throat, applying formulas that induce vomit can unblock the isthmus of fauces and eliminate phlegm-drool, and usually take a favorable turn for the syndromes. For distention and fullness in the chest and hypochondrium due to food retention in the stomach cavity, applying formulas that induce vomit can dispel or eliminate retained food. For eating poisons by mistake with poisons still in the stomach, formulas in this category are also applicable. Formulas that induce vomit are fierce in nature and easy to damage stomach qi, and medication should be discontinued as soon as getting effect. Their use should be cautious in the old, the weak, pregnant women, or postpartum. If patients don’t vomit after administration, finger stimulating the throat can be used, or drinking more hot water can assist vomit induction. After taking formulas that induce vomit, patients should pay attention to wind-cold in order to prevent external contraction due to body deficiency after vomiting. For unceasing vomiting after taking formulas, ginger juice, cold porridge, or cold boiled water can be selected to arrest vomiting. Meanwhile, regulation of the spleen and stomach should be emphasized. Patients can take rice water to nourish themselves, and should avoid eating greasy and not easily digested food to prevent stomach from damage.
