[Pulse and Symptoms] Excess-type panting (Shi Chuan, panting due to excess pathogenic factors) is characterized by abundant Qi in the Lung and hyperactivity of Lung pathogens, with unsmooth respiration and obstruction of the Lung orifices. The pulse at the right Cun position is deep and forceful; this type is suitable for treatment via purging the Lung.
Pathogen-induced panting arises from the Lung contracting cold pathogens, which lie dormant in the Lung meridian, causing blockage of the orifices and unsmooth respiration. The pulse at the right Cun position is deep and tight, and there are cases where all six positions exhibit a hidden pulse. Treatment via dispersing the exterior will resolve body heat and calm the panting.
The *San Yin Fang* describes the manifestations of excess and deficiency: In Lung excess, the Lung must be distended, with Qi counterflow and panting, a sensation of blockage in the throat resembling vomiting, accompanied by spontaneous sweating. In Lung deficiency, there must be dryness of the throat without fluids, shortness of Qi, and insufficient breath.
[Etiology] Deficient Qi invading the Lung; Yin deficiency leading to rising fire; presence of phlegm; water qi assaulting the Lung.
[Therapy] For chronic panting that comes and goes intermittently: Take one stomach of a male pig, clean it according to culinary methods, insert four to five taels of Xingren (Apricot Seed), sew it shut with thread, add three bowls of vinegar, and boil until the vinegar is dry, then remove. Eat the stomach first, then bake the Xingren on a new tile, rub off the skin, and eat immediately; this prevents recurrence forever.

Shenmi Tang (Mysterious Decoction): Treats water qi counterflowing to assault the Lung; the Lung becomes buoyant upon receiving water, causing Qi flow to stagnate. The pulse is deep and large. This condition applies to those who cannot lie flat and experience panting when supine.

Asthma
[Etiology] Asthma originates internally; phlegm should be expelled via emesis.
[Therapy] Xiaoji Dan (Asthma-Accumulation Pill): Crack an egg slightly without damaging the membrane, soak it in a urine jar for four to five days and nights, then consume it; this is effective. Eggs can dispel wind-phlegm. Luobozizi Wan (Radish Seed Pills), taken with ginger decoction, yield wonderful results.
