Melon pedicel guā dì · 瓜蒂

Cucumis melo (pedicel of muskmelon)

Nature and flavour. Bitter, cold, toxic; Stomach and Spleen systems.

The pedicel used traditionally to induce vomiting in specific acute situations; its narrow therapeutic window makes it practitioner-only.

瓜蒂传统用于特定急症涌吐;治疗窗窄,只可由专业人员掌握。

Classical category · no formulas, no dosages, no herb-drug combinations are given.
Safety. TOXIC emetic with a narrow margin — improper use can cause prolonged vomiting, dehydration or worse. Strictly practitioner-only; never for self-use, and never for pregnancy or the weak.

有毒涌吐药,安全窗窄,误用可致剧烈持久呕吐、脱水等。仅限专业人员;绝不可自用,孕妇及体虚者忌用。
