经曰∶浊气在上,则生 胀,邪气逆上,则呕而吐。是证由荣卫俱虚,气血不足,停水积饮
于胃,则脏冷而脾不营运,气逆而成翻胃也。故朝食暮吐,心下牢大如杯;甚则食已即吐。经曰
∶得谷则昌,绝谷则亡。谷味难进。去死不远。患者知此,万缘屏息。澄心静养。参酌方药。尤
宜食干饭,以陈年酱、姜下之。渴以甘蔗汁,少入姜汁为饮,能饮驴尿最佳,切忌羹汤、生冷、
硬物。近世多以辛香燥热之药治之,间有虚寒者取效。若食已即吐,属实热者用之,因辛能行气
破滞。虽然暂可,由是五脏之火反炽,脾胃之阴愈伤,病转甚矣。尤有药饵将养得宜,遂获小愈
;则百念复生。饮食杂进,病加不能生全,理当预知。如有痰热、大便燥秘,日服滚痰丸数分(

The medical classics state: When turbid qi remains in the upper part, distension occurs; when pathogenic qi rebels and moves upward, vomiting and regurgitation result. This condition arises from the deficiency of both Ying (Nutritive) and Wei (Defensive) Qi, insufficiency of Blood and Qi, leading to the retention of water and accumulation of fluids in the Stomach. This causes coldness in the Zang organs and failure of the Spleen to transport and transform normally, resulting in rebellious Qi and forming Fan Wei (Regurgitation/Inverted Stomach). Consequently, food eaten in the morning is vomited in the evening, with a firm mass in the epigastrium as large as a cup; in severe cases, vomiting occurs immediately after eating. The classics also say: "Abundance of grain leads to prosperity, absence of grain leads to demise." Grain becomes difficult to ingest, and death is not far off. Patients who understand this should dismiss all worldly distractions, clear their minds, and rest quietly. They should carefully consider appropriate prescriptions. It is especially advisable to eat dry rice, taken down with aged sauce and ginger. For thirst, sugarcane juice mixed with a small amount of ginger juice can be drunk; drinking donkey urine is considered best. One must strictly avoid soups, raw/cold foods, and hard items. In recent times, physicians have mostly treated this with acrid, aromatic, drying, and hot medicines, occasionally achieving results for patients with Deficient-Cold patterns. If vomiting occurs immediately after eating and belongs to an Excess-Heat pattern, using these medicines works because acrid substances can move Qi and break stagnation. Although temporary relief may occur, this leads to the intensification of Fire in the Five Zang organs and further damage to the Yin of the Spleen and Stomach, causing the disease to worsen. Moreover, if medication and care lead to slight improvement, old habits return, mixed diets are consumed, the condition aggravates, and survival becomes impossible; this is a principle that should be foreseen. If there is Phlegm-Heat and dry constipation, take Gun Tan Wan (Rolling Phlegm Pill) several fen daily (see Formula in Phlegm Section). A tight and wiry pulse indicates Deficient-Cold; floating, tight, slippery, and rapid pulses indicate Heat. A small, weak, slow, and choppy pulse indicates Cold with deficiency of Righteous Qi; treatment should focus on supporting Yuan Qi (Primal Qi), strengthening the Spleen, and harmonizing the Stomach as the root.
Main Prescription: Ban Xia (Prepared Pinellia Rhizome), Hou Po (Magnolia Bark), Zhi Zi (Gardenia Fruit, stir-fried until black), Huang Lian (Coptis Rhizome, processed with ginger), Chen Pi (Tangerine Peel, each 8 fen), Fu Ling (Poria), Cang Zhu (Atractylodes Rhizome, soaked in rice wash water and stir-fried), Zhu Ru (Bamboo Shavings), Zhi Ke (Aurantium Fruit, each 8 fen), Xiang Fu (Cyperus Rhizome), Shen Qu (Medicated Leaven), Ze Xie (Alisma Rhizome), Dang Gui (Angelica Sinensis Root), Bai Dou Kou (Black Cardamom Seed, each 5 fen), Gan Cao (Licorice Root, 2 fen).

Chop the herbs finely. Take one liang per dose. Decoct to obtain clear liquid, mix with Mu Xiang San (Costus Powder, 2 qian), and take on an empty stomach overnight. After three doses, Qi gradually descends, and vomiting gradually stops. Then remove Mu Xiang powder, and add Shao Yao (Peony Root, 2 liang) and Huang Qin (Scutellaria Root, 1.5 liang) to each prescription dose. Taking this will lead to recovery. If stool is dry and hard, preventing food intake, use Xiao Cheng Qi Tang (Minor Order the Qi Decoction) to gently purge, aiming for mild bowel movement, then replenish with the previous medicine.

Grind together until no silver stars are visible. Take one qian per dose, mixed with strong Ginger and Chen Pi decoction. If not stopped, take another dose. Alternatively, make pills the size of mung beans using ginger paste, taken with ginger soup.

With every mouthful of medicine, follow with a mouthful of ginger soup. After finishing the medicine, frequently drink hot ginger soup. For critical patients, take 2 qian of Ren Shen (Ginseng Root), decocted in water and taken at once. Twice daily, consume porridge cooked with Ren Shen. If diet is still unstable, continue taking medicine.
