Clinical commentary 臨床

負重用力 — carrying loads and straining — names a cause the rest of the section does not: a tear from effort rather than from heat or depletion. The formula is Sagunja-tang and astragalus with nothing cold in it, because the stomach is injured rather than hot. Vomiting blood after violent straining or retching is a Mallory-Weiss tear, and the chapter has the mechanism. **Haematemesis requires medical assessment.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl.
