Feiwei (Lung Atrophy) treatment focuses on nourishing the Lung, nourishing Qi, nourishing Blood, and clearing Metal.
[Zhang Zhongjing] Shengjiang Gancao Tang (Ginger and Licorice Decoction) Treats Feiwei (Lung Atrophy) with incessant coughing and expectoration of saliva foam, dry throat, and thirst.
Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, fresh ginger) (5 liang)
Renshen (Ginseng Radix, Ginseng root) (2 liang)
Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Licorice root) (4 liang)
Dazao (Ziziphi Jujubae Fructus, Jujube fruit) (15 pieces)
Add 7 sheng of water to the above four ingredients, boil to obtain 3 sheng, divide into three warm doses.
Zhigancao Tang (Roasted Licorice Decoction) Treats Feiwei (Lung Atrophy) with abundant saliva and sputum, and a feeling of warmth and fluidity in the heart.
Use Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Licorice root) alone, add 3 sheng of water, boil to obtain 0.5 sheng, divide into three warm doses.
Guizhi Qu Shaoyao Jia Zaojiao Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction minus Peony plus Gleditsia Sinensis Fruit) Treats Feiwei (Lung Atrophy) with expectoration of saliva foam.
Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus, Cinnamon twig)
Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, fresh ginger) (Each 3 liang)
Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Licorice root) (1 liang)
Dazao (Ziziphi Jujubae Fructus, Jujube fruit) (10 pieces)
Zaojiao (Gleditsiae Sinensis Fructus, Gleditsia sinensis fruit) (10 pieces, remove skin and strings, roast until charred)
Add 7 sheng of water to the above five ingredients, boil slowly over low heat to obtain 3 sheng, divide into three warm doses.
In Feiwei (Lung Atrophy) with expectoration of saliva foam but no cough, the patient is not thirsty and must suffer from enuresis and frequent urination. The reason is that upper deficiency fails to control the lower. This is cold in the Lung, inevitably presenting with vertigo and abundant saliva/foam; treat with Gancao Ganjiang Tang (Licorice and Dried Ginger Decoction) to warm it. If thirst occurs after taking the decoction, it belongs to Xiaoke (Wasting-Thirst syndrome).
Gancao (Zhi, roasted, 4 liang)
Ganjiang (Pao, processed, 2 liang)
Chop the above, add 3 sheng of water, boil to obtain 1.5 sheng, strain, divide into two warm doses.
The above treatments cover Feiwei (Lung Atrophy) symptoms: either coughing foam or coughing blood. Now, cases of coughing foam are included in this section, while coughing blood are included in the "Coughing Blood" section.
Heat in the Upper Jiao causes cough developing into Feiwei (Lung Atrophy). How is Feiwei (Lung Atrophy) acquired? The Master said: It may arise from excessive sweating, vomiting, Xiaoke (Wasting-Thirst syndrome) with frequent urination, or constipation followed by harsh purgatives causing severe loss of body fluids, thus leading to the disease.
[Mai Jing] Cough with natural saliva in the mouth and slippery tongue coating indicates floating Cold, not Feiwei (Lung Atrophy).
Cough with rebellious Qi, irritability, and restlessness indicates Feizhang (Lung Distension). Zhang Zhongjing stated: Cough with rebellious Qi is Feizhang (Lung Distension). If the pulse is floating and large, treat with Yesheng Banxia Tang (Ma Huang Decoction plus Banxia). He also stated: Feizhang (Lung Distension), cough with rebellious Qi, irritability, wheezing, and floating pulse indicate water retention below the heart; treat with Xiaolongtan Tang (Minor Blue Dragon Decoction) plus Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum, gypsum). (Both formulas are seen in the "Wheezing" section).
[Zhu Danxi] For Feizhang (Lung Distension) with cough, use Hezi (Myrobalani Fructus, Chebula fruit), Qingdai (Indigotidis Folium, Indigo naturalis), and Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum, bitter apricot seed). Hezi (Myrobalani Fructus, Chebula fruit) treats extreme damage to Lung Qi by Fire, leading to depression, distension, and inability to lie on one side for sleep; its sour and bitter taste has astringent and fire-reducing functions. Assist with Haishi (Turbinarum Concha, Turban shell), Xiangfu (Cyperi Rhizoma, Cyperus rhizome), Gualou Ren (Trichosanthis Semen, Trichosanthes seed), Qingdai (Indigotidis Folium, Indigo naturalis), Banxia Qu (Pinelliae Fermentatum, fermented Pinellia), ginger, and honey, held in the mouth. (Soak Xiangfu (Cyperi Rhizoma, Cyperus rhizome) in child's urine for three days).
For pulse depression, phlegm-cough, and restless sleep, use Qinghua Wan (Clearing Transformation Pill). Beimu (Fritillariae Bulbus, Fritillaria bulb) and Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum, bitter apricot seed) ground into powder, made into pills with sugar and ginger juice steamed wheat cake, held in mouth to dissolve. (Qinghua Wan formula see "Fire Heat" section). Feizhang (Lung Distension) with cough, unable to sleep on either left or right side, is caused by phlegm obstructing Qi with blood stasis; nourish Blood to move Qi, descend Fire, soothe Liver, and clear Phlegm, using Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) plus Taoren (Persicae Semen, peach seed), Hezi (Myrobalani Fructus, Chebula fruit), Qingpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride, green tangerine peel), Zhuli (Bambusae Caulis in Taenia, Bamboo sap), etc. If blood stasis obstructing Qi causes cough, use Taoren (Persicae Semen, peach seed), Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, rhubarb), and ginger juice pills.
One method: Moxibustion is suitable only for patients who can lie on one side. Those who can lie on the left should be moxa-ed at Zu Sanyinjiao (SP6, Three Yin Intersection of Foot-Taiyin), and those who can lie on the right at Zu Sanyinjiao (SP6, Three Yin Intersection of Foot-Taiyin); relief is immediate.
[Jing] Treats Qi-cough, also applicable for chronic cough. Hold one raw Hezi (Myrobalani Fructus, Chebula fruit) in the mouth, swallow saliva, and the illness will heal. If taste is lost after healing, drink Binglang Tang (Areca Seed Decoction) to restore taste.
