All the Zang and Fu organs can suffer from cough, but the Lung is most frequently affected. The Lung resides above the other four Zang organs and connects externally with the skin and hair. Since the skin and hair are prone to wind-cold invasion, the Lung is particularly susceptible to cough.
Jingmi Tao Ren Zhou (Millet and Peach Kernel Porridge) for treating upper Qi rebellion with cough, pain in the chest and diaphragm, and asthma:
Jingmi (Two He) [Glutinous Rice]
Tao Ren (One Liang, soaked in hot water, peel removed, tips discarded, keep double kernels, and ground) [Peach Seed]
Boil the Tao Ren and rice together to make porridge. Consume on an empty stomach.
Another prescription:
Zhu Hou (One piece, remove fat and slice finely) [Pig Larynx/Throat]
Sheng Dihuang (Six Liang, extract juice) [Rehmanniae Radix Recens]
Xi Tang (Four He) [Thin Maltose]
Scald the Zhu Hou first, then add the Sheng Dihuang juice, along with a small amount of ginger, scallion, salt, and dou chi. After cooking thoroughly, strain out the dregs to obtain the liquid. Add the Xi Tang and stir until uniform. Store in a porcelain vessel.
Lu Sui Jian (Deer Marrow Decoction) for treating damage to the middle Jiao tendons and vessels, urgent upper Qi rebellion, and cough:
Lu Sui (Half Jin) [Cervi Marrow]
Mi (Three He) [Honey]
Sheng Dihuang Zhi (Four He) [Juice of Rehmanniae Radix Recens]
Su (Three He) [Ghee/Butter]
Tao Ren (Three Liang, these two ingredients soaked in hot water, peel removed, tips discarded, keep double kernels, and ground) [Peach Seed]
Decoct the Sheng Dihuang, Xing Ren, and Tao Ren, etc., until the liquid reduces by half. Then add Lu Sui, Su, and Mi, and decoct until it resembles thin maltose. Store in a porcelain box. Each time, take one spoonful and mix into half a cup of porridge.
Another prescription:
Zao (Twenty pieces, remove pits) [Jujube]
Su (Four Liang) [Ghee/Butter]
Slowly melt the Su over low heat so that it penetrates into the jujube flesh. Continue until all the Su is absorbed. Usually hold one piece in the mouth, chew slightly, and swallow. This is extremely effective.
Another prescription:
Xi Tang (Three He) [Thin Maltose]
