Formula for treating Lung Qi deficiency causing dryness and pain in the throat.
Prepare maltose as needed. Take 1 sheng of dried dates, remove pits, cook thoroughly, and mash. Add 5 sheng of water, mix well, strain to remove dregs, clarify by letting settle, discard the clear supernatant, and take the turbid part.

Formula for treating Lung wind syndrome with flaccidity and exhaustion, distension and fullness in the four limbs, wheezing, counterflow qi, and chest fullness:
Moxibustion on Feishu (BL13 / Lung Shu) acupoint, two moxa cones per side. The location of Feishu (BL13 / Lung Shu) is measured by drawing a string from the nipple; it is located below the third thoracic vertebra, one and a half cun lateral to the midline on both sides.
Lung and Large Intestine both deficient
When the pulse at the Cun position of the Right Hand Guanqou (Radial Artery Pulse Position) before the Guan (Bar) shows deficiency in both Yin and Yang aspects, it indicates deficiency of both the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian and the Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian. The patient suffers from tinnitus with buzzing sounds, occasional hallucinations of seeing light, mental unrest or fearfulness. This condition is named "Deficiency of both Lung and Large Intestine."
Formula for treating insufficiency of Lung and Large Intestine, deficiency-cold with lack of Qi, urgency and tightness in the lower abdomen, lower back pain, emaciation, and various diseases.
Jujube Fruit (Dazao) (12 pieces), Fresh Ginger (Shengjiang), Cassia Twig (Guizhi Tang / Guixin) (each 3 liang), Licorice Root (Gancao) (2 liang), White Peony Root (Shaoyao) (6 liang).
The above five ingredients are crushed. Decoct with 8 sheng of water until 3 sheng remains. Strain, add 8 liang of Maltose (Yitang), boil three times more. Divide into three doses. (The *Zhouhou Beiji Fang* uses Astragalus Root (Huangqi) and Ginseng Root (Renshen) each 2 liang, named Huangqi Jianzhong Tang.)
(One Treatise, Three Formulas, One Moxibustion Method)
The treatise states: For all cases of Lung Lao (consumptive disease of the Lung), tonify Kidney Qi to benefit it. When Kidney Qi is vigorous, it influences the Lung. If humans go against the Qi of Autumn, the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian fails to gather/contract, leading to scorched and full Lung Qi. Following this principle leads to life; opposing it leads to death. Following it allows for treatment; opposing it leads to chaos. Reversing the proper order creates opposition, known as Guan Ge (Obstruction and Reflux), resulting in disease.
