3N. Emetics

Medicines used to induce Vomiting. Emesis is used for various purposes: to cleanse the Stomach and Lungs; to expel Poisons; to purge Phlegm Humor. Note that there is a strong relationship between Expectorants and Emetics. Both clear Phlegm and often large doses of Expectorants can induce Vomiting, while small doses of emetics can help expel Phlegm.
