[Zhang Zhongjing] For dry retching (gan ou) or hiccups (yue) accompanied by cold extremities, Chenpi Tang (Tangerine Peel Decoction) is the primary treatment.
Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, 4 liang), Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, 8 liang).
Take the above two ingredients, add seven sheng of water, and decoct to obtain three sheng of liquid. Take one sheng warm; it will cure upon swallowing.
[From *Zhou Hou Bei Ji Fang*] It treats sudden, incessant dry retching. Take sugarcane juice, warm it, and take half a sheng; administer three times daily. Alternatively, take one sheng of ginger juice, which also cures the condition. To treat sudden, incessant dry retching, crush kudzu root (Gegen), wring out the juice, and take one sheng; this cures the disease. (Bencao states: Raw Gegen juice is extremely cold in nature.)
[Zhu Danxi] Nausea (exin) can be caused by heat or phlegm; in both cases, ginger (Shengjiang) is used, with additional herbs prescribed according to the specific syndrome.
[Zhang Zhongjing] When a patient feels as if they are panting but are not, as if they are vomiting but are not, and as if they have hiccups but do not, feeling profound inner distress and helplessness, Shengjiang Banxia Tang (Fresh Ginger and Pinellia Decoction) is the primary treatment.
Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma, 8 liang), Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, 1 sheng).
Take the above two ingredients. Add three sheng of water, decoct Banxia first to obtain two sheng, then add ginger juice and decoct again to obtain two and a half sheng. Let it cool slightly, divide into four doses: take three times during the day and once at night. If symptoms cease after taking the medicine, stop taking the remaining dose.
[Li Dongyuan] Fuling Banxia Tang (Poria and Pinellia Decoction) treats weak stomach qi, heaviness of the body, presence of phlegm, and nausea with a desire to vomit. This occurs when pathogenic factors are entangled between the spleen and stomach; therefore, the spleen and stomach should first be fortified.
Chao Qu (Fried Medicated Leaven, 3 qian), Damai (Hordei Fructus Germinatus, fried until yellow, 0.5 liang), Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Tianma (Gastrodiae Rhizoma, each 2 qian), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Baifuling (Poria, Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma), each 1 liang).
Grind the above into coarse powder. Each time, take 5 qian, add two zhan of water and five slices of ginger, decoct to one zhan, remove the dregs, and take hot.
Chaihu Banxia Tang (Bupleurum and Pinellia Decoction) treats patients who previously had wind disorders, fear exposure to wind, experience dry and darkened eyes, have phlegm in the chest, feel nauseous, frequently have a desire to vomit, and upon encountering wind, feel tightness in the skin and flesh, difficulty lifting hands and feet, and heaviness in movement as if weighted with stone. If in a warm room and sweating slightly, symptoms decrease; however, re-exposure to wind causes recurrence.
Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma, 2 qian), Chao Qu (Fried Medicated Leaven, 1 qian), Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, 3 slices), Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix), Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma, each 5 fen), Cangzhu (Atractylodis Lanceae Rhizoma, 1 qian), Bencao (Ligustici Wallichii Rhizoma, 5 fen), Baifuling (Poria, 7 fen).
Grind the above into coarse powder. Prepare as a single dose, add two zhan of water, boil for five boils, remove dregs, and take warm.
[Zhang Wenzhong] Treats cold stomach qi where eating immediately triggers the urge to vomit. Take three cardamom seeds (Baidoukou Ren), crush, sieve, and grind finely; mix with one zhan of good wine warmed slightly and drink. Consuming two to three zhan is optimal.
[Zhang Zhongjing] In patients who have an urge to vomit, purgative methods (xia zhi) must not be used.
[Yun Qizi] Puhuang San (Polygoni Orientalis Pollen Powder) treats postpartum conditions occurring three to four days after delivery, characterized by lochia stasis, vomiting and regurgitation, and high fever.
Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, 2.5 liang), Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma, 2 liang), Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Puhuang (Typhae Pollen, each 2 liang), Honghua (Carthami Flos, 5 qian), Heye Xinzhong Di (Lotus Leaf Midrib, one piece), Shengdi Zhi (Rehmanniae Radix Juice, 1 zhan).
Cut the above ingredients, add two sheng of water, decoct to one sheng, remove dregs, add Puhuang, boil for a few more moments, and take on an empty stomach in three divided doses.
To treat incessant vomiting after childbirth.
Juhong (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Rubrum, 1 liang), Banxia Qu (Pinelliae Fermentatum), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, each 5 qian), Huoxiang (Agastaches Herba, 1 liang).
Grind the above into fine powder. Each time, take 3 qian, add three slices of ginger, decoct in water, and take.
[From *Tai Ping Hui Min He Ji Ju Fang*] Kaiwei San (Stomach-Opening Powder) treats disharmony of stomach qi after childbirth, incessant vomiting, and complete inability to accept food or drink.
Hezi Rou (Terminalia Chebulae Fructus, 1.5 liang), Renshen (Ginseng Radix, 1 liang), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 0.5 liang).
Grind the above three ingredients into fine powder. Separately, take 0.5 fen of Banxia, 1 fen of Shengjiang, and fourteen stalks of Congbai (Scallion White), add two large zhan of water, decoct to 0.6 portion, remove dregs, and divide into two doses.
