The phenomenon is osmosis.
When a person takes concentrated salt solution, he starts vomiting just to maintain the concentration of electrolytes in the body. The highly concentrated salt solution in the blood and inter cellular fluids creates a imbalance of ions in the body.The body cells becomes hypertonic and to maintain the balance, the person starts vomiting.
