[Li Dongyuan] Treating upward rushing of Qi-heat in the Upper Jiao (Upper Burner), with sudden vomiting immediately after eating, and a floating and surging pulse. It is appropriate to first descend Qi and harmonize the middle, using Jiegeng Tang (Platycodon Decoction).

Take these two ingredients, boil in 3 sheng of water to obtain 1 sheng, divide into two warm doses.

Yun Qi (Climate/Periodic Influences) theory: Vomiting all belongs to Wind-Wood. The Classics say: When Jueyin (Liver) Qi rebounds, it severely enters the Spleen, causing Shi Bi (Food Obstruction) and vomiting. It also says: When the annual Wood Qi is excessive, Wind Qi spreads, people suffer from hypochondriac pain and vomiting of food.
Treatment uses sour and clearing agents.
Moxibustion and Acupuncture, see previous section on Moxibustion and Acupuncture for Vomiting.
[Mai Jing] Yang pulse tight and Yin pulse rapid, the person vomits immediately after eating; Yang pulse floating and rapid also indicates vomiting. Cun (Inch) pulse tight and Chi (Cubit) pulse choppy, the person has chest fullness, cannot eat and vomits. Cun Kou (Radial Artery) pulse rapid,
the person will vomit. Cun Kou pulse thin and rapid, rapid indicates Heat, thin indicates Cold, rapid indicates vomiting.
[Zhang Zhongjing] Question: The patient has a rapid pulse. Rapid indicates Heat, so one should digest grain and seek food, yet instead vomits. Why? Master says: Because sweating was induced, causing Yang to become weak, Ge Qi (Diaphragm Qi) to become deficient, thus the pulse is rapid. Rapid here indicates Guest Heat, which cannot digest grain. The Stomach is cold and deficient, hence vomiting.
