CORE DEFINITION

For excess pathogens lodged in the throat, chest, or stomach (such as accidentally ingested poison or stubborn phlegm), use drugs to induce vomiting and expel them upward.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

High-level overflow. Like a clogged drain at the top (at the U-bend), it's hard to push through from below; better to pull it out directly from above. Though rarely used in modern times, it is a key technique in emergencies (e.g., food poisoning, phlegm blocking the throat).

The vomiting method is one of the eight methods in traditional Chinese medicine. It uses emetics to expel pathogens from the upper body, suitable for conditions where the disease is located in the upper part and pathogens are excessive.
