Premenstrual vomiting

经前呕吐 〔經前嘔吐〕 jīng qián ǒu tù

Vomiting just before menstrual periods. Premenstrual vomiting arises when ingested water fails to be transformed, or when food damage causes stagnation in patients with weak stomachs. In the first case, the vomitus is watery; in the second, there is stomach pain.

Medicinal therapy: Treat water-rheum by warming the center and transforming rheum with clove (Caryophylli Flos, 丁香 dīng xiāng), dried ginger (Zingiberis Rhizoma, 干姜 gān jiāng), and white atractylodes (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, 白朮 bái zhú) ground to a powder (5g at time with water that rice has been boiled in). Treat food damage by dispersing food and abducting stagnation with Costusroot and Amomum Six Gentlemen Decoction (香砂六君子汤 xiāng shā liù jūn zǐ tāng).
