半月诸药不效。予记祖传一方，用池塘中鳖一个，如法修事，多用生姜米 作羹，入沙糖一小块，不用盐酱熟煮，吃一、
二碗，三日不登厕，大肠自此实矣，肛门亦收而不脱。夫此证盖因脾土受虚，致肺与大肠俱失化源之所滋养，是故大肠
不行收令也，此母能令子虚耳。鳖乃介虫属金，而有土性温，能补脾肺。又况肺恶寒，先得芩、连等寒凉之味已多，今
用生姜之辛以补肺金，用沙糖之甘以补脾土，肺气既实，其大肠亦随而实，故得以行收令也，故其功效如是之验焉。
论
《内经》曰∶诸呕吐酸，暴注下迫，皆属于火。东垣曰∶夫呕、吐、哕三者俱属于胃，胃者 司也，以其气血多少
为异耳。呕者阳明也，阳明多血多气，故有声有物，气血俱病也。吐者太阳也，太阳多血少气，故有物无声，血病也。
哕者少阳也，少阳多气少血，故有声无物，气病也。河间曰∶胃膈热甚则为呕，火气炎上之象也。吐证有三，气、积、
寒也，皆从三焦论之。上焦在胃口，上通于天气，主纳而不出。中焦在中脘，上通天气，下通地气，主腐熟水谷。下焦
在脐下，下通地气，主出而不纳。是故上焦吐者，皆从于气，气者天之阳也，其脉浮而洪，其证食已即吐，渴欲饮水，
大便燥结，气上冲胸而发痛，其治当降气和中。中焦吐者，皆从于积，有阴有阳，食与气相假为积而痛，其脉浮而长，
其证或先痛而后吐，或先吐而后痛，治法当以毒药去其积，槟榔、木香行其气。下焦吐者，皆从于寒，地道也，其脉沉
而迟，其证朝食暮吐，暮食朝吐，小便清利，大便秘而不通，治法当以毒药通其秘塞，温其寒气，大便渐通，复以中焦
药和之，不令大便秘结而自愈也。外有伤寒，阳明实热太甚而吐逆者。有内伤饮食，填塞太阴，以致胃气不得宣通而吐
者。有胃热而吐者。有胃寒而吐者。有久病气虚，胃气衰甚，闻谷气则呕哕者。有脾湿太甚，不能运化精微，致清痰留
饮郁滞上中二焦，时时恶心吐清水者。宜各以类推而治之，不可执一见也。
脉法
《脉经》曰∶呕而脉弱，小便复利，身有微热，见厥者，难治。
跌阳脉浮者，胃气虚，寒气在上，嗳气在下，二气相争，但出而不入，其人即呕而不得食，恐怖即死，宽缓即瘥。
脉阳紧阴数，其人食已则吐，阳浮而数亦为吐。
寸口脉紧而芤，紧则为寒，芤则为虚，虚寒相搏，脉为阴结而迟，其人则噎，关上脉数，其人则吐。
脉弦者虚也，胃气无余，朝食暮吐，暮食朝吐，变为反胃。寒在于上，医反下之，令脉反弦，故名曰虚。
寸口脉微而数，微则无气，无气则荣虚，荣虚则血不足，血不足则胸中冷，故吐。

（医案）
在城黄氏妇，年将三十，产后困食伤，致胃虚不纳谷，四十余日矣，闻谷气则恶心而呕，闻药气亦呕，求予治。予
曰∶药不能入口，又将何法以治之乎。恳求不已，遂制一方，用人参、白术、茯苓各五钱，甘草二分，陈皮、藿香、砂
仁各五分，炒神曲一钱，十年以上陈仓米一合，顺流水二大白盏煎沸，泡伏龙肝研细，搅浑，放澄清，取一盏，加姜枣，
同煎前药至七分，稍冷服。此药遂纳而不吐，别以陈仓米煎汤时时与之，日进前药二、三服，渐能吃粥而安。后以此法
治十数人，皆验。
半个月来，各种药物都没有效果。我回忆起祖传的一个方子，用池塘里的鳖一只，按照规范处理，多用生姜和米煮成羹，加入一小块沙糖，不用盐和酱煮熟，吃一两碗，三天不上厕所，大肠从此就结实了，肛门也会收缩而不再脱出。这个病症大概是因为脾土虚弱，导致肺与大肠都失去了化源（气血生化之源）的滋养，所以大肠不能行使收敛的功能，这是母脏（脾）虚弱导致子脏（肺/大肠）虚弱的道理。鳖属于介虫类，五行属金，但具有土的温性，能够补益脾肺。况且肺怕寒，之前已经用了黄芩、黄连等寒凉的药物很多，现在用生姜的辛味来补肺金，用沙糖的甘味来补脾土，肺气既然充实，大肠也随之充实，所以能够行使收敛的功能，因此功效如此显著。
论述
《内经》说：各种呕吐酸水，突然腹泻且里急后重，都属于火邪。李东垣说：呕、吐、哕这三种症状都归属于胃，胃是主管者，只是根据气血多少的不同而有区别。呕属于阳明经，阳明经多血多气，所以有声有物，是气血都病了。吐属于太阳经，太阳经多血少气，所以有物无声，是血病。哕属于少阳经，少阳经多气少血，所以有声无物，是气病。刘河间说：胃膈热盛就会呕吐，这是火气炎上的征象。吐证有三种，分别是气、积、寒，都要从三焦来论述。上焦在胃口，向上通于天气，主受纳而不排出。中焦在中脘，向上通天气，向下通地气，主腐熟水谷。下焦在脐下，向下通地气，主排出而不受纳。所以上焦呕吐，都源于气，气是天之阳，其脉浮而洪大，症状是吃完就吐，想喝水，大便干燥结滞，气上冲胸而疼痛，治疗应当降气和中。中焦呕吐，都源于积滞，有阴有阳，食物与气相互搏结形成积滞而疼痛，其脉浮而长，症状或是先痛后吐，或是先吐后痛，治疗方法应当用猛药去除积滞，用槟榔、木香行气。下焦呕吐，都源于寒，是地道的问题，其脉沉而迟，症状是早上吃的晚上吐，晚上吃的早上吐，小便清利，大便秘结不通，治疗方法应当用猛药通其秘塞，温散寒气，待大便逐渐通畅后，再用中焦的药调和它，不让大便再次干结，病就会自愈。此外还有伤寒，阳明实热太甚而导致呕吐逆气的。有内伤饮食，填塞太阴，导致胃气不得宣通而呕吐的。有胃热而呕吐的。有胃寒而呕吐的。有久病气虚，胃气衰败得很厉害，闻到谷气就恶心呕吐的。有脾湿太甚，不能运化精微，导致清痰留饮郁滞在上中二焦，时时恶心吐清水的。应当各自类推而治疗，不可固执己见。
脉法
《脉经》说：呕吐而脉弱，小便反而通利，身体有微热，出现四肢厥冷的，难治。
跌阳脉浮的，是胃气虚，寒气在上，嗳气在下，二气相争，只有气出而无入，这个人就会呕吐而不能进食，如果惊恐就会死，心情宽缓就会好转。
脉阳紧阴数的，这个人吃完就吐，阳脉浮而数也是呕吐的表现。
寸口脉紧而芤，紧则为寒，芤则为虚，虚寒相搏，脉象为阴结而迟，这个人就会噎食，关上脉数，这个人就会呕吐。
脉弦的是虚证，胃气无余，早上吃的晚上吐，晚上吃的早上吐，变为反胃。寒邪在上，医生反而用下法，使脉象反变弦，所以名叫虚。
寸口脉微而数，微则无气，无气则营气虚，营气虚则血不足，血不足则胸中冷，所以呕吐。
方法
朱丹溪说：胃中有热，膈上有痰，用二陈汤加炒栀子、姜炒黄连、生姜，煎服。
凡是呕吐的，切不可用泻下法，因为会违背病情。
有久病呕吐的，是胃气虚不能纳谷，用人参、白术、黄芪、白术、香附治疗。凡是痞满短气而呕吐的，应当补中气，只可用调中益气汤。
肝火出于胃，逆上呕吐，用抑青丸。（方剂见火门。）
夏季呕吐不止，用五苓散加姜汁，调入汤中服用。
吐虫而呕吐，用黑锡炒成灰，加槟榔末，米饮调服。
恶心吐清水的，有热、有痰、有虚，都用生姜，随证配合其他药物治疗。
胃中有热的，用二陈汤加姜汁制炒黄连、黄芩。兼有虚证的，加人参、白术。又说：胃虚弱呕吐的，用二陈汤加砂仁、藿香、白术。
痰饮致病，或因多吃生冷，脾胃不和，以致呕吐恶心，或头眩，或胃脘部烦闷不快，或发寒热，用二陈汤加丁香、乌梅、生姜，煎服。心下痞而痛的，加草豆蔻仁。
痰热恶心呕吐气盛的，用导痰汤加缩砂、姜炒黄连、竹茹。

医案
在城黄氏妇，年龄将近三十，产后困乏伤食，导致胃虚不能纳谷，四十多天了，闻到谷气就恶心而呕吐，闻到药气也呕吐，求我治疗。我说：药不能入口，又将用什么方法来治疗呢。恳求不停，于是制定一个方子，用人参、白术、茯苓各五钱，甘草二分，陈皮、藿香、砂仁各五分，炒神曲一钱，十年以上的陈仓米一合，顺流水两大白盏煎沸，泡伏龙肝研细，搅浑，放澄清，取一盏，加姜枣，同煎前面的药至七分，稍冷服。这药遂能纳入而不吐，另外用陈仓米煎汤时时给她喝，每天进前面的药二、三服，渐渐能吃粥而安定。后来用这个方法治疗十几个人，都有效。
Half a month passed, and various medicines were ineffective. I recalled a family-prescribed formula: use one soft-shelled turtle from a pond, process it according to regulations, cook it into a soup with plenty of ginger and rice, add a small piece of brown sugar, do not use salt or soy sauce, boil until cooked. Eat one or two bowls; after three days without defecation, the large intestine will become firm, and the anus will retract and no longer prolapse. This condition is likely due to deficiency of Spleen Earth, causing both the Lung and Large Intestine to lose nourishment from the source of transformation (the origin of Qi and Blood generation). Therefore, the Large Intestine cannot perform its function of astringency; this is the mother organ (Spleen) being deficient leading to the deficiency of the child organ (Lung/Large Intestine). The turtle belongs to the class of shelled creatures, corresponds to Metal in Five Elements, but possesses the warm nature of Earth, and can tonify the Spleen and Lung. Moreover, the Lung dislikes cold, and previously many cold and cool herbs such as Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) and Lianlian (Coptidis Rhizoma) had been used. Now, using the pungent nature of Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) to tonify Lung Metal, and the sweet nature of Shatang (Saccharum) to tonify Spleen Earth, once Lung Qi is solid, the Large Intestine also becomes solid, thus able to perform its astringent function. Hence, the efficacy is so remarkable.
Discussion
The *Neijing* states: "All vomiting of acid fluids, sudden diarrhea with tenesmus, belong to Fire." Li Dongyuan said: "Vomiting (Ou), spitting (Tu), and hiccups (Yue) all belong to the Stomach. The Stomach is the manager, differing only by the quantity of Qi and Blood." Vomiting belongs to the Yangming channel; Yangming has abundant Blood and Qi, so there is sound and matter expelled, indicating disease in both Qi and Blood. Spitting belongs to the Taiyang channel; Taiyang has abundant Blood but little Qi, so there is matter expelled without sound, indicating disease in Blood. Hiccups belong to the Shaoyang channel; Shaoyang has abundant Qi but little Blood, so there is sound without matter expelled, indicating disease in Qi. Liu Hejian said: "Excessive heat in the Stomach and Diaphragm causes vomiting, which is the manifestation of Fire Qi flaming upward." There are three types of spitting: Qi, Accumulation, and Cold, all discussed from the perspective of the Triple Burner. The Upper Burner is at the stomach opening, connecting upwards to Heaven Qi, governing reception without discharge. The Middle Burner is at Zhongwan, connecting upwards to Heaven Qi and downwards to Earth Qi, governing the rotting and ripening of food and drink. The Lower Burner is below the navel, connecting downwards to Earth Qi, governing discharge without reception. Therefore, Upper Burner spitting arises from Qi; Qi is Yang of Heaven, its pulse is floating and surging, symptoms include vomiting immediately after eating, thirst for water, dry and constipated stool, Qi rushing up to the chest causing pain; treatment should focus on descending Qi and harmonizing the middle. Middle Burner spitting arises from accumulation; there is Yin and Yang, where food and Qi combine to form accumulation causing pain; its pulse is floating and long, symptoms may be pain followed by spitting, or spitting followed by pain; treatment should use potent drugs to remove accumulation, and use Binglang (Arecae Semen) and Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix) to move Qi. Lower Burner spitting arises from Cold; it is a matter of Earth's way, its pulse is deep and slow, symptoms include morning food vomited in the evening, evening food vomited in the morning, clear and profuse urination, constipation; treatment should use potent drugs to unblock impaction, warm and disperse Cold, and once stool gradually passes, harmonize with Middle Burner herbs to prevent re-constipation, allowing spontaneous recovery. Additionally, there are cases of external Cold Damage where Yangming excess heat is too severe causing vomiting and reflux; internal injury from diet filling the Taiyin, preventing Stomach Qi from circulating freely causing vomiting; vomiting due to Stomach Heat; vomiting due to Stomach Cold; chronic illness with Qi deficiency and severely衰败 Stomach Qi, causing nausea and hiccups upon smelling grain aroma; excessive Spleen Dampness failing to transform fine essences, causing clear Phlegm and retained fluid stagnating in the Upper and Middle Burners, causing frequent nausea and vomiting of clear water. Each should be treated by analogy; one must not adhere to a single viewpoint.
Pulse Diagnosis
The *Maijing* states: "Vomiting with a weak pulse, free urination, slight body heat, and appearance of Jue (cold extremities) indicate a difficult-to-treat case."
If the Dizhong pulse is floating, it indicates deficient Stomach Qi, Cold Qi above, and belching below; the two Qi clash, exiting but not entering; the person vomits and cannot eat; if terrified, death ensues; if relaxed, improvement occurs.
If the pulse is tight on the Yang side and rapid on the Yin side, the person vomits immediately after eating; a floating and rapid Yang pulse also indicates vomiting.
If the Cun Kou pulse is tight and Kou (hollow), tight indicates Cold, hollow indicates Deficiency; Deficiency and Cold clashing result in a Yin knotting and slow pulse; the person experiences dysphagia; if the Guan position pulse is rapid, the person vomits.
A string-like (Xian) pulse indicates Deficiency; lack of residual Stomach Qi leads to morning food vomited in the evening, evening food vomited in the morning, transforming into Fanwei (reverse regurgitation). Cold is above, but the doctor mistakenly uses purgatives, causing the pulse to become Xian, hence named Deficiency.
If the Cun Kou pulse is faint and rapid, faint indicates lack of Qi; lack of Qi leads to Ying (Nutritive) Deficiency; Ying Deficiency leads to insufficient Blood; insufficient Blood leads to cold in the chest, thus vomiting.
Methods
Zhu Danxi said: "Heat in the Stomach and Phlegm in the Diaphragm: Erchen Tang (Two-Aged Decoction) added with stir-fried Zhizi (Gardeniae Fructus), Ginger-stir-fried Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma), and Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), decocted and taken."
For any vomiting, purgatives must absolutely not be used, as this goes against the pathology.
For chronic vomiting due to Stomach Qi deficiency failing to receive grain, treat with Renshen (Ginseng Radix), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Huangqi (Astragali Radix), Baizhu, and Xiangfu (Cyperi Rhizoma). For distension, fullness, shortness of breath, and vomiting, tonify Middle Qi; only Tiao Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Regulate and Tonify Middle Qi Decoction) should be used.
Liver Fire emerging from the Stomach, reversing upward causing vomiting: Yiqing Wan (Suppress Green Pill). (Formula see Fire Section.)

Nausea and vomiting of clear water: Can be due to Heat, Phlegm, or Deficiency; always use Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), adding other herbs according to the syndrome.
Heat in the Stomach: Erchen Tang added with Ginger-juice processed Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma) and Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix). If accompanied by Deficiency, add Renshen (Ginseng Radix) and Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma). Also stated: For weak Stomach causing vomiting, Erchen Tang added with Sharen (Amomi Fructus), Huoxiang (Agastaches Herba), and Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma).
Pathology caused by Phlegm-Fluid, or due to excessive consumption of raw/cold foods causing Spleen-Stomach disharmony, leading to vomiting, nausea, dizziness, epigastric discomfort, or alternating chills and fever: Erchen Tang added with Dingxiang (Syzygii Flos), Wumei (Mume Fructus), and Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), decocted and taken. If epigastric stuffiness and pain occur, add Caodoukou (Cardamomi Rotundus Fructus).

Medical Case
The wife of the Huang family in the city, nearly thirty years old, suffered postpartum fatigue and food injury, leading to Stomach deficiency unable to receive grain for over forty days. Upon smelling grain aroma, she felt nauseous and vomited; upon smelling medicine aroma, she also vomited. She sought my treatment. I said: "If medicine cannot enter the mouth, what method can be used?" Insisting repeatedly, I finally formulated a prescription: Renshen (Ginseng Radix), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Fuling (Poria) each 5 qian, Gancao (Licorice Root) 0.02 qian, Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Huoxiang (Agastaches Herba), Sharen (Amomi Fructus) each 0.5 qian, Stir-fried Shenqu (Massa Medicata Fermentata) 1 qian, Ten-year-old Chen Cangmi (Coeli Semen Retentum) 1 he, Shunliushui (Flowing Water) two large cups boiled, soak Fulonggan (Caulis Longani Folium / Lodestone Ash? Note: Fulonggan usually refers to Furnace Soil/Caulis Longani Folium contextually often interpreted as prepared earth/mineral in ancient texts, here likely prepared soil/ash), grind fine, stir turbid, let settle clear, take one cup, add Ginger and Date, decoct previous herbs to 0.7 cups, take slightly cool. This medicine was retained without vomiting. Separately, give Chen Cangmi decoction frequently, advance previous medicine 2-3 times daily, gradually able to eat porridge and stabilize. Later, treating over ten people with this method, all were effective.
