Translation

Most effective of all for vomiting. Chinese chive bulb, three stalks; three eggs with the yolks removed; millet, three hop — boil them together into a thin gruel. Separately take 1 nyang of ginseng finely cut, decoct it in one seung of water down to three hop, and strain. Stir the egg, chive and millet gruel into the warm ginseng decoction, mix evenly, and give it all at once; the vomiting stops. — Seui Deukhyobang 得效 (Donguibogam · Guto)

Clinical commentary 臨床

A food rather than a medicine, and the chapter puts it at the end of the treatment section without a pattern attached — 治嘔最效, most effective of all for vomiting. Millet gruel with egg white and a chive, stirred into a strong ginseng decoction: it is nourishment in a form a vomiting patient can hold down, and the design is the same as Bihwa-eum's rice water. Egg white without the yolk is the detail that shows care — the yolk is the fatty part and the part a nauseated patient refuses. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
