The *Shen Shi Fang* treats sudden onset of rebellious Qi (asthma/wheezing) with fullness and obstruction in the chest and epigastrium. Banxia Suzi Tang (Pinellia and Perilla Seed Decoction) formula:
Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma, five liang, washed); Zi Su Zi (Perillae Fructus, one sheng); Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, five liang); Da Zao (Jujubae Fructus, forty pieces, split); Ju Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium); Gui Xin (Cinnamomi Ramulus, three liang each); Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, two liang).
The above seven herbs are sliced, decocted in seven sheng of water until reduced to two sheng and seven he, divided into three doses; the rebellious Qi will descend. Avoid consuming Hai Zao (Sargassum), Song Cai (Brassica rapa var. pekinensis), lamb meat, Yi Tang (Malt Sugar), and raw Cong Bai (Allii fistulosi Bulbus).
Another prescription treats sudden urgent rebellious Qi with chest and epigastric fullness. Zhuru Xi Qi Tang (Bamboo Shavings Descending Qi Decoction) formula:
Sheng Gan Zhu (Bambusa Textilis var. Multiplex internodes, one tiger-mouthful); Shi Gao (Gypsum Fibrosum, one liang); Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens); Ju Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, three liang each); Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, three liang, honey-fried).
The above five herbs are sliced. Decoct the bamboo shavings in seven sheng of water until four and a half sheng remain, remove the dregs, add the remaining herbs, and decoct until two sheng remain. Divide into two doses. This formula treats sudden persistent rebellious Qi; taking two or three doses leads to recovery. Avoid consuming Hai Zao (Sargassum) and Song Cai (Brassica rapa var. pekinensis). (Both from Volume 18)
Ge Shi’s prescription in the *Bei Ji Fang* for sudden rebellious Qi with audible breathing sounds and a sensation of impending suffocation:
Sang Gen Bai Pi (Mori Cortex, three sheng, sliced); Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, half sheng, sliced); Wu Zhu Yu (Evodiae Fructus, half sheng).
The above three herbs are sliced, boiled three times in five sheng of wine, remove the dregs, and consume all at once; it cures upon entering the mouth. (Secret formula from *Qian Jin Fang*)
Another formula:
Ma Huang (Ephedrae Herba, nodes removed); Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, honey-fried, two liang each).
The above two herbs are sliced, decocted in three sheng of water until one and a half sheng remain, divided into three doses. The *Gu Jin Lu Yan* uses eight sheng of water, decocting until three sheng and eight he remain. Avoid Hai Zao (Sargassum) and Song Cai (Brassica rapa var. pekinensis). After recovery, to prevent recurrence, take these two herbs again, along with fifty fried Xing Ren (Pruni Armeniaci Semen), pound and sieve them, mix with honey to make pills, take four or five pills per dose, three times daily. (Wen Zhong, *Zhou Hou Bei Ji Fang*, and *Fan Wang Fang* agree on this.)
Another prescription treats sudden rebellious Qi where Qi fails to connect, characterized by shoulder-lifting respiration:
Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, three liang, sliced).
Soak the single herb in one dou of wine. Take one sheng per dose, three times daily.

The above four herbs are sliced, decocted in six sheng of water until two sheng remain, divided into three doses. These two formulas are named Xiao Tou Bei Tang (Small Pouring Cup Decoction). For those with Qi disorders, they can also be made into powder for administration. If there is excessive cold, add Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) three liang; if saliva is clear and thin, add Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) three liang. Avoid Hai Zao (Sargassum), Song Cai (Brassica rapa var. pekinensis), and raw Cong Bai (Allii fistulosi Bulbus). (From Volume 3)
