A 28-year-old female has long suffered from chest and diaphragm fullness, shortness of breath, and facial puffiness. Upon observation, her face has a glossy appearance, and her pulse is deep and slippery, strong upon pressure. This is due to phlegm and saliva retained in the chest and diaphragm. Muskmelon Base Powder was used to induce vomiting of the old phlegm. Prescription:
muskmelon base (ground into powder) 1.2g, Tangshen 5g, Pinellia 5g, Chinese Date 10 pieces
. About 3 hours after taking the medicine, frequent vomiting occurred, with three consecutive episodes, and the chest and diaphragm fullness and shortness of breath were immediately relieved.
