Psychogenic vomiting (七情吐) is the disease of vomiting due to seven emotions that joy, anger, melancholy, anxiety, grief, fear and terror being the response of the mind to the environmental stimuli. We experienced a 21year-old man who had a psychogenic vomiting due to maladjustment in a military life, and whose condition was improved through oriental medical treatment.We treated the patient with Herbal medications and Giungoroen (至言高論-wise saying and lofty opinion). Giungoroen is psychological therapy that promotes patient`s recognition of disease and will to cure it through conversation. After being treated, the patient showed that symptoms (vomiting, nausea, abdominal discomfort, insomnia, a depressed mood, a feeling of uneasiness) was improved considerably. This result suggests that oriental medical treatment has good effect on psychogenic vomiting due to adjustment disorder.
