Zhang Zhongjing stated: In cold damage (Shanghan) after three or four days, if the pathogenic factor has not yet transmitted to the interior and remains in the upper jiao, use Gouti San (Melon Seed Powder) to induce vomiting for recovery. How can one wait for sweating? He also stated: In cold damage after six or seven days, if there is slight fullness in the chest, reluctance to speak, mental restlessness and oppression (Ao Nao), dizziness, and no signs indicating purgation, Zhang Zhongjing used Zhizi Chi Tang (Gardenia and Fermented Soybean Decoction) to induce vomiting, with immediate effect. Similarly, in sudden wind-stroke where consciousness is lost, sweating is not required; if there is phlegm-rattling sound in the throat, use Xixian San (Sputum-Dissipating Powder) to induce vomiting, which is also effective. For pediatric convulsive disorders with tidal spasms and limb flexion/spasm, use Yanming San (Life-Verifying Powder) to induce vomiting. Regarding wind-induced headache, the classics state that if phlegm-drool is not vomited out, blindness may occur eventually and become incurable; use Gouti San to induce vomiting, recovering after three doses of vomiting. In cases of sudden cough with wind-phlegm obstructing upwards, causing throat blockage and difficulty in swallowing, use Chatiao San (Tea-Regulating Powder) to induce vomiting.
For Yang epilepsy that persists without cure but has not yet developed into dementia, use Daoxian San (Phlegm-Guiding Powder) to induce vomiting. For Yin epilepsy, use Ersheng San (Two Sages Powder) to induce vomiting.
For individuals consuming rich foods and raw fish/sashimi excessively, leading to food stagnation in the chest, transformation of parasites lodging in the chest, chest-diaphragm discomfort, and dysphagia, use Lilu San (Veratrum Powder) to induce vomiting.
For chronic patients suffering from hypochondriac pain unresponsive to various medicines, use Dusheng San (Single Sage Powder) added with half a qian of Scorpion tail (Xie Shao) to induce vomiting.
For epileptic seizures occurring irregularly with loss of consciousness, use Bansheng Banshu Tang (Half-Raw Half-Cooked Decoction) to induce vomiting.
For "An Feng" (hidden wind disease) persisting without cure, where the patient returns to normal after an episode, use Yujin San (Curcuma Powder) to induce vomiting.
For malaria persisting without cure, with irregular chills and fever, use Changshan San (Changshan Powder) to induce vomiting.
For "Jiaolong Jia" (abdominal mass resembling a dragon) causing pain and abdominal distension resembling Gu toxicity, use Qiutang San (Ball-Sugar Powder) to induce vomiting.
When initially suffering from food stagnation, or experiencing abdominal stuffiness and confusion due to cold exposure, with body heat and vomiting upon seeing food, use Chixiaodou San (Red Bean Powder) to induce vomiting.
For women suffering from tendon spasm and bone pain, use Shenyingsan (Miraculous Response Powder) to induce vomiting.
Someone asked: Why induce vomiting for tendon diseases? The answer is: "Wood depression should be dispersed." The term "disperse" here means allowing it to flow freely and smoothly. In cases of trauma from falls or blows, first induce vomiting using Jinhua San (Golden Flower Powder), then purge downwards using Chengqi Tang (Inheriting Qi Decoction). The term "Cheng" implies following or accommodating.
For Pian Ku syndrome (hemiplegia), use Zhuifeng San (Wind-Chasing Powder) to induce vomiting. If post-stroke eye disease occurs with partial vision restoration, it can be treated using Fangfeng Tang (Saposhnikovia Decoction) to induce vomiting.
For pediatric upper wheezing and tidal fever, first use Weijin San to induce vomiting, then use Zhen Ting San to purge downwards, yielding immediate results.
For treating mania and insanity persisting without cure, use Sansheng San (Three Sages Powder) to induce vomiting, followed by strong purgation.
For wind syndromes causing tremors, shaking, stiffness, and loss of consciousness, apply Xuandou Gao (Hanging Bean Paste); once phlegm is expelled, immediate effect is seen.
For chest-diaphragm fullness and oppression, back pain, or arm pain, first use Qufeng Tang (Wind-Expelling Decoction) to induce vomiting, then take Wuyao San (Lindera Powder). For Leprosy or malignant sores, use Ersheng San to induce vomiting, then take Kushen Wan (Sophora Pill).
For various Jue syndromes and wind-stroke resulting in loss of consciousness, apply Shensheng San Gao (Divine Sage Paste) into the nasal cavity; vomiting out phlegm yields immediate results.
For Tetanus (Po Shang Feng) with lockjaw and opisthotonos, administer Shensheng San to induce vomiting; subsequent sweating and purgation are also effective. All three methods should be employed.
Another case involved severe abdominal pain from "Jiaolong Jia" persisting until near death; using Qiutang Gao induced vomiting of an object resembling a lizard, 7-8 cun long, resulting in immediate recovery.
The vomiting method was used by high physicians of ancient times. Today, mediocre practitioners merely look at prescriptions, do not understand treatment principles, fail to recognize disease origins, and thus do not practice the methods of the Sages, drifting far from their teachings. Should one not fear this?
