Zao disease (Dryness Disease) is contracted through exposure to the autumn dryness pathogen. Its manifestations include fever, cough, obstruction of the clear orifices (eyes, ears, nose, and mouth), stagnation of various qi mechanisms, as well as various flaccidity syndromes (Wei syndrome), wheezing, and vomiting caused by dryness.
If at the onset the right pulse is rapid and large, indicating that dryness has injured the Qi level of the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian, Sang Xing Tang (Mulberry Leaf and Apricot Seed Decoction) is the primary formula. If cough results from contracting dryness, Sang Ju Yin (Mulberry Leaf and Chrysanthemum Drink) is the primary formula. If dryness injures the Yin level of the Lung and Stomach, presenting with fever or cough, Sha Shen Mai Dong Tang (Glehnia and Ophiopogon Decoction) is the primary formula. If dryness transforms into fire, causing obstruction of the clear orifices, Qiao He Tang (Kick and Load Decoction) is the primary formula. If various qi stagnations, various flaccidity syndromes, wheezing, and vomiting are caused by dryness, Qing Zao Jiu Fei Tang (Clear Dryness and Rescue the Lung Decoction) is the primary formula.
