In cases of consumption with chronic cough, lung deficiency is evident. Even if there are heat symptoms, they are all deficient fire. Zhang Yuansu (Hanghai) regarded preserving the lungs as the sovereign strategy, thus using Zi Wan and Ejiao. Clearing fire is the minister strategy, thus using Zhi Mu and Bei Mu. Using Ren Shen and Fu Ling as assistant herbs aims to cultivate earth to generate metal (tonify spleen to benefit lung). Using Jie Geng and Gan Cao as envoy herbs guides the medicine into the lung meridian. Wu Wei Zi nourishes the insufficient water of the kidney meridian and astringes the dispersed qi of the lungs. This is most suitable for chronic cough.
