| ABSTRACT |
Objectives:
This study was conducted to report the safety of vomit-inducing treatment (Tu Fa, 吐法) by Melonis Calyx, particularly with respect to clinical features and liver and kidney functions.
Methods:

Results:
Less than 3 grams of Melonis Calyx powder can induce mild abdominal discomfort and produce no harmful effects on liver and kidney functions.
Conclusions:
Through this study, a vomit-inducing treatment using less than 3 grams of Melonis Calyx can be considered safe enough to be used in clinics, with a cautious approach with respect to dehydration. |
