Nasal polyps (Nose warts) initially resemble pomegranate seeds; if left untreated, they hang down for a long time, becoming purple and hard, obstructing the flow of Qi. This is caused by the stagnation of wind-dampness and heat in the Lung Meridian. Internally administer Xinyi Qingfei Yin (Magnolia Flower Decoction to Clear the Lungs), and externally apply Ping San (Leveling Powder).
[Note] This condition arises inside the nose, shaped like a pomegranate seed. It gradually enlarges and hangs down, appearing purple and slightly hard, blocking the nasal cavity and making breathing difficult.
It is formed by the condensation and stagnation of wind-dampness and heat in the Lung Meridian. Internally administer Xinyi Qingfei Yin (Magnolia Flower Decoction to Clear the Lungs) to clear Lung heat; externally apply Ping San (Leveling Powder) daily. It will gradually liquefy and heal. One should avoid rich flavors and prevent fits of anger, so that it will not recur.

Lung Wind Acne (Acne Vulgaris due to Lung Heat) is caused by heat in the Lung Meridian. Papules appear on the face and nose, characterized by redness, swelling, and pain. When ruptured, powdery fluid or scales emerge. Pipaye Qingfei Yin (Loquat Leaf Decoction to Clear the Lungs) internally and Diandao San (Inverted Powder) externally will naturally yield results.
[Note] This condition results from blood-heat in the Lung Meridian. It often occurs on the face and nose, starting as small papules resembling millet husks, with redness, swelling, and pain.

It is suitable to internally administer Pipaye Qingfei Yin (Loquat Leaf Decoction to Clear the Lungs) and externally apply Diandao San (Inverted Powder), which will slowly bring about healing.
