According to *Zhu Bing Yuan Hou Lun* (Treatise on the Pathogenesis and Symptoms of All Diseases): Cough accompanied by rebellious Qi rising is caused by an excess of Lung Qi. When the Lung is affected by Cold, mild cases result in cough. The Lung governs Qi; when there is an excess of Qi, it leads to panting, coughing, and rebellious Qi rising. This occurs because pathogenic factors contend with Qi, causing Qi stagnation and obstruction that prevents free dissemination, which is termed "excess." Therefore, cough and rebellious Qi arise. The manifestations include panting, coughing, rebellious Qi, excessive phlegm and saliva, edema of the face and eyes, indicating rebellious Qi movement. (From Volume XIV)
*Shen Shi Fang* (Deep Master's Formulas) treats rebellious Qi and cough with Su Zi Decoction (Perilla Seed Decoction).
Perilla Seeds (Su Zi, 2 sheng), Ginger Juice (Sheng Jiang Zhi, 2 sheng), White Honey (Bai Mi, 2 sheng), Fresh Rehmannia Juice (Sheng Di Huang Zhi, 2 sheng), Apricot Kernels (Xing Ren, 2 sheng).
Crush the Perilla Seeds, pour over them the Fresh Rehmannia juice and Ginger juice, squeeze out the liquid through silk cloth, crush again, pour more juice, and squeeze again. Repeat this six or seven times until the flavor is fully extracted. Remove the dregs. Roast the Apricot Kernels until yellow-black, crush them into a paste-like consistency, then pour the previously obtained juice over them. Squeeze through silk cloth, repeating six or seven times until the flavor is exhausted. Remove dregs, add honey, mix well, and place in a copper vessel. Simmer in a double boiler (chong tang) until it resembles maltose syrup. Take one fang cun bi (a square-inch measure) per dose, three times daily and once at night. Avoid eating Elsholtzia (Wu Yi). (Same as in *Qian Jin Fang*)
Another formula for treating cough and rebellious Qi is She Gan Decoction (Belamcanda Decoction).
Belamcanda Rhizome (She Gan, 8 liang), Aster Root (Zi Wan, 0.5 liang), Malt Sugar (Jiao Yi, 5 liang), Asarum (Xi Xin, 0.5 liang), Dried Ginger Powder (Gan Jiang Mo, 5 liang), Fresh Bamboo Sap (Zhu Li, 1 sheng), Genkwa Flower Root (Yuan Hua Gen, 0.5 liang), Mulberry Root Bark (Sang Gen Bai Pi), Winter Flower Bud (Kuan Dong Hua, 8 liang each), Prepared Aconite (Pao Fu Zi, 0.5 liang), Prepared Licorice (Zhi Gan Cao, 0.5 liang), White Honey (Bai Mi, 1.5 sheng).
Cut the Belamcanda Rhizome first, combine with honey and bamboo sap, boil five or six times, then strain to remove dregs. Coarsely powder the remaining herbs, soak in 1.4 sheng of water overnight, then decoct. Perform the technique of lifting and lowering the liquid seven times (qi shang qi xia) to prevent boiling over, then strain. Add malt sugar and ginger powder, simmer until thick like syrup. Take a pill size similar to a sour jujube, three times daily and once at night. If ineffective, slightly increase the dose. Avoid seaweed, Chinese cabbage, pork, cold water, and raw vegetables. (Same as in *Qian Jin Fang*)
Another formula for treating cough and rebellious Qi, internal cold, and nasal obstruction is Xing Ren Decoction (Apricot Kernel Decoction).
Apricot Kernels (Xing Ren, 5 liang), Schisandra Fruit (Wu Wei Zi, 3 he), Prepared Licorice (Zhi Gan Cao, 4 liang), Ephedra Stem (Ma Huang, 1 jin, nodes removed), Winter Flower Bud (Kuan Dong Hua, 3 he), Aster Root (Zi Wan), Dried Ginger (Gan Jiang, 3 liang each), Cinnamon Heart (Gui Xin, 4 liang).
Coarsely cut the eight herbs. Decoct in 10 dou of water. First boil the Ephedra until reduced by 2 sheng, skim off the foam, then add the other herbs. Decoct until 4 sheng remain, strain to remove dregs. Add 0.5 jin of malt sugar and 1 jin of white honey, mix well into the liquid, and simmer in a double boiler until thick like syrup. Take before meals, dosage equivalent to half a date, three times daily. If ineffective, slightly increase the dose. Avoid seaweed, Chinese cabbage, and raw green onions. (Same as in *Qian Jin Fang*, from Volume XVIII)
Cui Shi's Formula for treating sudden cough due to rebellious Qi.
Perilla Stems and Leaves (Zi Su, 2 sheng), Soybeans (Da Dou, 1 sheng).
Decoct the soybeans in 4 sheng of water first, then add the Perilla stems and leaves. Decoct until 1.5 sheng remains. Divide into three doses: two during the day, one at night. Avoid vinegar, salt, salty flavors, sour flavors, and greasy foods. (From Volume VI)
*Bi Xiao Fang* (Formulas of Immediate Effect) treats rebellious Qi with abdominal distension, chest fullness, and cough preventing eating. (Prefect Duan states it is extremely effective.)
Loquat Leaf (Pi Pa Ye, 1 handful, hairs removed, roasted), Areca Nut (Bing Lang, 37 pieces), Ginger (Sheng Jiang, 2 fen), Galangal (Gao Liang Jiang, 2 liang), Honey (Mi, 2 he), Butter/Ghee (Su, 2 he).
Coarsely cut the six herbs. Decoct in 2 large sheng of water until reduced to 1 large sheng. After decoction, add butter and honey, boil for three or six boils. Divide into three warm doses. Take every interval corresponding to walking 8-9 li. For severe cases, take up to 3 liang per dose, taken freely with food. (From Volume I)
*Jiu Ji Fang* (Emergency Rescue Formulas) treats rebellious Qi cough and Lung Qi chest pain.
Apricot Kernels (Xing Ren, 3 large sheng), White Honey (Bai Mi, 1 large sheng), Beef Butter (Niu Su, 2 large sheng).
Crush the Apricot Kernels in a porcelain basin and grind to extract 5 sheng of juice. Cleanly polish a copper cauldron to ensure no grease. Pour 3 sheng of juice into the cauldron, mark the depth with a wooden stick, then pour in the remaining 2 sheng. Simmer over low heat until reduced to the marked level. Then add white honey and beef butter, simmer back to the marked level. The medicine is ready. Store in a non-porous ceramic vessel. Take one large spoonful with warm wine three times daily. If unable to drink alcohol, mix with porridge. After 7 days of use, sputum color turns white; after 14 days, sputum becomes thin; after 21 days, cough ceases. This formula not only treats cough but also tonifies deficiency, dispels wind-cold, and beautifies the skin, making it white like a gourd. It is especially beneficial for women. (Same as in *Yan Nian Mi Lu*, from Volume VI)
*Gu Jin Lu Yan Fang* (Ancient and Modern Verified Formulas) treats rebellious Qi and concomitant cough with Su Zi Tang (Perilla Seed Decoction).
Perilla Seeds (Su Zi, 1 sheng), Schisandra Fruit (Wu Wei Zi, 5 he), Ephedra Stem (Ma Huang, nodes removed), Asarum (Xi Xin), Aster Root (Zi Wan), Scutellaria Root (Huang Qin), Prepared Licorice (Zhi Gan Cao, 2 liang each), Ginseng (Ren Shen).
Coarsely cut the twelve herbs. Decoct in 9 sheng of water until reduced to 3 sheng. Divide into two doses. For rebellious Qi disease, one may also decoct Perilla Seeds alone, or fresh Perilla leaves. In winter, decocting dried branches, stems, and leaves is also good. Avoid seaweed, Chinese cabbage, mutton, malt sugar, raw green onions, and raw vegetables. (From Volume XIX)
