[From *Huoren Shu*] Vomiting is divided into two syndromes: cold and heat. If the Cun (inch) position of the pulse is rapid, the palms are hot, accompanied by irritability, thirst, and vomiting, this indicates heat in the Wei (Stomach) cavity; it is primarily treated with Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Poria Decoction).
For those who vomit due to excess cold without desire to drink water, Lizhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction) with Bai Zhu (Atractodis Rhizoma) removed and Sheng Jiang (Fresh Ginger) added is primarily used.
For Yin syndromes presenting with panting and shortness of breath along with vomiting and reversal, Fanyin Dan (Return to Yin Pill) stops symptoms upon ingestion.
Daju Pi Tang (Large Tangerine Peel Decoction): Treats "moving qi" located in the lower jiao where sweating is contraindicated. If forced sweating occurs resulting in no sweat, accompanied by vexation, pain in bone joints, dizziness, aversion to cold, and postprandial vomiting preventing food intake, first administer Daju Pi Tang. After vomiting ceases, Jianzhong Tang (Establish the Middle Decoction) is appropriate.
Ingredients: Chen Pi (Tangerine Peel, 1.5 liang), Sheng Jiang (Fresh Ginger, 1 liang), Zao Zi (Jujube, 8 pieces), Gan Cao (Licorice Root, processed/honey-fried, 0.5 liang), Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix, 1 qian), Zhu Ru (Bamboo Shavings, 0.5 sheng).
Take three large bowls of water, decoct to obtain one bowl, divide into two doses.
If a patient suffers solely from vomiting but has weak or painful legs, this is Hongxiangjiao (Hongxiangjiao/Foot Qi), and should be treated as such. (Treatment see Jue Bi syndrome.)
Abdominal fullness with intermittent pain, vomiting and diarrhea without thirst belongs to Taiyin Bing (Taiyin Disease). The discussion is found under "Abdominal Fullness". (*Huoren Shu* states: Lizhong Tang is included in this context.)
If the pulse is tight at both Yin and Yang positions but there is spontaneous sweating, this indicates Wang Yang (Loss of Yang Qi); this belongs to Shaoyin Bing (Shaoyin Disease). According to the method, sore throat accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea should occur. For Shaoyin Bing with vomiting and diarrhea, cold extremities, and severe irritability desiring death, Wuzhuyu Tang (Evodia Fruit Decoction) is primarily used. For Shaoyin Bing with vomiting and diarrhea, if extremities are not cold but rather warm, the prognosis is non-fatal. If the pulse is absent, moxa should be applied to Shaoyin points for seven moxibustion cones. For Shaoyin Bing with vomiting, diarrhea, irritability, and cold extremities, the prognosis is fatal. For Shaoyin Bing with diarrhea, cough, vomiting, thirst, and vexation preventing sleep, Zhuling Tang (Polyporus Decoction) is appropriate. (Discussion see Diarrhea.) For Shaoyin Bing with abdominal pain, difficulty urinating, heaviness and pain in limbs, spontaneous diarrhea or vomiting, Zhenwu Tang (True Warrior Decoction) with Fu Zi (Aconite Lateral Root) removed and Sheng Jiang (Fresh Ginger) added is used. (Discussion see Diarrhea.) For Shaoyin Bing with diarrhea, faint and choppy pulse, vomiting, and sweating, the upper part should be warmed via moxibustion. (Discussion see Desire to Sleep. "Warming the upper part" refers to warming the upper body to assist Yang Qi when cold qi resides below.) When both vomiting and diarrhea occur, urine flows freely, profuse sweating ensues, diarrhea contains undigested food, internal cold presents with external heat, and the pulse is faint and nearly imperceptible, Sini Tang (Frigid Extremities Decoction) is primarily used. (Wang Shuhe placed this in the Huoluan chapter.)
When Taiyang Bing (Taiyang Disease) and Shaoyang Bing (Shaoyang Disease) combine, presenting with headache, hypochondriac pain, alternating chills and fever, spontaneous diarrhea, and vomiting, Huangqin Jia Banxia Shengjiang Tang (Scutellaria Decoction with Added Pinellia and Fresh Ginger) is used. (Discussion see Combined Diseases.) With fever and sweating that do not resolve, epigastric fullness and hardness, vomiting, and diarrhea, Dachaihu Tang (Major Bupleurum Decoction) is appropriate. (Discussion see Epigastric Fullness.) After sweating therapy, if fluids cannot enter the mouth, it is considered adverse. Further sweating will cause incessant vomiting and diarrhea. Vomiting accompanied by diarrhea is named Huoluan (Cholera-like disorder). Disease with fever, headache, body ache, aversion to cold, vomiting, and diarrhea is also named Huoluan; after spontaneous vomiting and diarrhea cease, fever may recur.
For Huoluan with headache, fever, body pain, excessive heat, and desire to drink water, Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Poria Decoction) is primarily used.
For excessive cold without desire to drink water, Lizhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction) is appropriate.
Ingredients: Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), Gan Jiang (Dried Ginger, processed), Gan Cao (Licorice Root, honey-fried, each 1 liang), Bai Zhu (Atractodis Rhizoma, 2 liang).
Crush ingredients. Take 4 qian per dose, decoct in water, strain, and take warm. If cold is severe, add Gan Jiang (Dried Ginger) 1.5 liang. If thirsty and desiring water, add Bai Zhu (Atractodis Rhizoma) 1.5 liang. If pulsation above the umbilicus occurs (indicating Kidney Qi movement), remove Bai Zhu (Atractodis Rhizoma) and add Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig) 2 liang. If vomiting is frequent, remove Bai Zhu (Atractodis Rhizoma) and add Sheng Jiang (Fresh Ginger) 4 liang. If diarrhea is frequent, double the use of Bai Zhu (Atractodis Rhizoma). If palpitations occur, add Fuling (Poria) 2 liang. If abdominal fullness occurs, remove Bai Zhu (Atractodis Rhizoma) and add Fu Zi (Aconite Lateral Root) 1 piece. After taking the decoction, wait about the time of a meal, then drink approximately one liter of hot porridge to maintain warmth; do not uncover clothing or blankets. (*Huoren Shu* states: If there is limb stiffness or muscle twitching/cramping, also remove Bai Zhu (Atractodis Rhizoma) and add Fu Zi (Aconite Lateral Root).)
For vomiting and diarrhea with sweating, fever, aversion to cold, limb stiffness, and cold extremities, Sini Tang (Frigid Extremities Decoction) is primarily used.
[From *Suwen*] When Earth Qi is depressed and erupts, the people suffer from vomiting, Huoluan (Cholera-like disorder), and profuse diarrhea. (Chapter: Six Essential Ordinances) When Taiyin (Great Yin) arrives, it manifests as central fullness, Huoluan (Cholera-like disorder), vomiting, and diarrhea.
The aforementioned damp-Earth Huoluan corresponds to formulas such as Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Poria Decoction) and Lizhong Wan (Regulate the Middle Pill) by Zhang Zhongjing.
When the annual Earth Qi is insufficient, Wind prevails greatly, and the people suffer from Huoluan (Cholera-like disorder) and Sund Xie (undigested food diarrhea). (Chapter: Changes in Qi Intersection)
The aforementioned Earth-deficiency and Wind-excess Huoluan corresponds to formulas such as Guiling Baizhu San (Bupleurum and Atractodes Powder) by Luo Qianfu.
When Heat arrives, body heat, Huoluan (Cholera-like disorder), vomiting, and diarrhea occur. (Chapter: Six Essential Ordinances)
The aforementioned Heat-induced Huoluan corresponds to formulas such as Xiangru San (Mosla Powder) from *Huoren Shu*.
[From *Lingshu*] The collateral branch of Foot-Taiyin Spleen Meridian is named Gongsun (SP4), located one cun distal to the metatarsophalangeal joint, diverging to connect with Yangming. Its branch enters and connects with the intestines and stomach. When Jue Qi (Rebellious Qi) reverses upward, Huoluan (Cholera-like disorder) occurs. In Excess patterns, there is cutting pain in the intestines; in Deficiency patterns, there is abdominal distension like a pot-belly. Treat by selecting the point of divergence. (Chapter: Meridian Collaterals) When Qi is chaotic in the intestines and stomach, Huoluan (Cholera-like disorder) results. Select Foot-Taiyin and Foot-Yangming points. If ineffective, select Zusanli (ST36). (Chapter: Five Chaos; Dongyuan notes: Foot-Taiyin Qimen point, Foot-Yangming Zhongwan point.)
If vomiting and diarrhea cease but body pain persists, assess and harmonize the exterior; Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) is appropriate. If there is aversion to cold, faint pulse, and cessation of diarrhea, Sini Jia Renshen Tang (Frigid Extrements Decoction with Added Ginseng) is used. (Formula discussion see Aversion to Cold.)
If vomiting and diarrhea have completely stopped, but sweating and cold extremities persist, limb stiffness does not resolve, and the pulse is faint and nearly imperceptible, Tongmai Sini Tang (Pulse-Restoring Frigid Extremities Decoction) with Zhu Danzhi (Porcine Bile) added is administered.
Ingredients: Gan Cao (Licorice Root, honey-fried, 2 liang), Gan Jiang (Dried Ginger, 3 liang), Fu Zi (Aconite Lateral Root, one large piece, peeled and trimmed), Zhu Danzhi (Porcine Bile, 0.5 he).
Grind the three ingredients. Use three bowls of water, decoct to two bowls, strain, add Porcine Bile, divide into two warm doses. The pulse will return.
After vomiting and diarrhea, if sweating occurs, the pulse becomes level, and there is no vexation, it is because the newly deficient body cannot withstand the grain qi. If there is dry retching and diarrhea, accompanied by hypochondriac pain and resolved exterior syndrome, Shizao Tang (Ten Jujubes Decoction) is appropriate. If there is epigastric fullness, hardness, and vexation, Gancao Xiexin Tang (Licorice Heart-Draining Decoction) is appropriate. If accompanied by cold extremities and faint pulse, Tongmai Sini Tang (Pulse-Restoring Frigid Extremities Decoction) or Baitong Jia Zhu Danzhi Tang (White Passage Decoction with Added Porcine Bile) are used. (See Dry Retching section for details.)
[From *Maiching*] If the pulse is tight at both Yin and Yang positions, leading to vomiting and diarrhea, and the pulse remains unresolved, but the tightness disappears and the person feels comfortable, this indicates impending resolution. If the pulse is slow, extending to the sixth or seventh day, with loss of appetite, this is late onset due to fluid retention, indicating the disease is not yet resolved. If the patient can eat normally, it indicates impending resolution.
