治疗久病导致身体虚弱消瘦，呕吐不止（胃寒会引起呕吐，胃热也会引起呕吐，体内有停滞的痰饮或积存的饮邪，都会导致呕吐，此处指的是久病后的虚火）。
橘皮、竹茹、人参、甘草、半夏、麦冬、赤茯苓、枇杷叶。加入生姜、大枣煎服。如果是胃寒引起的，去掉竹茹、麦冬，加入丁香；如果是实火引起的，去掉人参。
这是足阳明胃经的药物。胃火向上冲逆，肝胆之火加以助势，肺金之气不能下降，所以发生呕吐。竹茹、枇杷叶、麦门冬，都能清肺热而调和胃气，肺金清爽则肝气也能平和（肝木挟带相火上冲，所以产生呃逆，金能克制木）；二陈汤（陈皮、半夏）用来疏散逆乱之气；赤茯苓用来降心火；生姜是治疗呕吐的圣药；因为久病导致身体虚弱消瘦，所以用人参、甘草来补益。
《金匮要略》中的橘皮竹茹汤：橘皮（二升）、竹茹（二升）、人参（一两）、甘草（五两）、生姜（半斤），另外加上半夏、麦冬。
治疗肺虚感受寒邪，气逆膈间有热而引发的哮喘（膈间有胶固难化的痰浊，外部又有非时节的感邪，就会导致人出现哮喘。由于寒邪束缚在体表，阳气并聚于膈中，不能发散宣泄，所以膈间气热上逆。声音粗重为哮，属于外感有余之证；气息急促为喘，属于肺气虚不足之证）。
白果（二十一枚，炒至黄色）、麻黄、半夏（姜制）、款冬花（三钱）、桑白皮（蜜炙）、苏子（二钱）。
这是手太阴肺经的药物。表层的寒邪应当发散，麻黄、杏仁、桑皮、甘草辛甘发散，泻肺热而解表邪；里部的虚损应当收敛，款冬花等药……制成散剂。
人身之中，气作为卫气，血作为营气。经典说：营气，是水谷精微所化生，调和五脏，布散于六腑，然后才能进入经脉……视……而能……也；血……于……热……则……病。
Treats chronic illness leading to physical debility and emaciation, with incessant vomiting (Stomach cold causes vomiting, Stomach heat also causes vomiting; the presence of retained phlegm or accumulated fluid retention all induce vomiting; this case refers to deficiency fire resulting from chronic illness).
Chenpi (Exocarpium Citri Reticulatae), Zhuru (Bambusae Caulis in Taeniam), Renshen (Radix Ginseng), Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae), Banxia (Rhizoma Pinelliae), Maidong (Radix Ophiopogonis), Chifuling (Poria cum Ligno), Pipaye (Folium Eriobotryae). Decoct with Shengjiang (Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens) and Dazao (Fructus Jujubae). If caused by Stomach cold, remove Zhuru and Maidong, add Dingxiang (Flos Caryophylli); if caused by excess fire, remove Renshen.
This formula acts on the Foot-Yangming meridian. Stomach fire rushes upward, assisted by Liver-Gallbladder fire, preventing Lung Metal qi from descending, thus causing vomiting. Zhuru, Pipaye, and Maidong can all clear the Lungs and harmonize the Stomach; when Lung Metal is clear, Liver Qi also becomes pacified (Liver Wood carrying Ministerial Fire rushing upward causes hiccups; Metal controls Wood); Erchen Tang (Chenpi, Banxia) disperses rebellious qi; Chifuling descends Heart fire; Shengjiang is the supreme herb for treating vomiting; because of chronic illness leading to debility, Renshen and Gancao are used to tonify.
Jupi Zhuru Tang from *Jin Gui Yao Lue*: Jupi (2 sheng), Zhuru (2 sheng), Renshen (1 liang), Gancao (5 liang), Shengjiang (0.5 jin), additionally adding Banxia and Maidong.
Treats asthma arising from Lung deficiency combined with cold invasion, where qi rebels and there is heat in the diaphragm (There is tenacious phlegm fixed in the diaphragm, and external atypical pathogenic factors invade, leading to asthma. Because cold binds the exterior, Yang qi congregates in the diaphragm and cannot diffuse outward, causing diaphragmatic heat and rebellious qi. Coarse sound indicates Xiao [wheezing], which is an excess condition due to external invasion; rapid breathing indicates Chuan [shortness of breath], which is a deficiency condition of the Lung).
Baiguo (21 seeds, stir-fried until yellow), Mahuang (Herba Ephedrae), Banxia (Rhizoma Pinelliae, processed with ginger), Kuandonghua (Flos Farfarae, 3 qian), Sangbaipi (Cortex Mori, honey-fried), Suzi (Fructus Perillae, 2 qian).
This formula acts on the Hand-Taiyin meridian. Exterior cold should be dispersed; Mahuang, Xingren, Sangbaipi, and Gancao are pungent and sweet to disperse, draining Lung heat and releasing the exterior; interior deficiency should be astringed; Kuotonghua etc... made into powder.
In the human body, Qi serves as Wei (Defensive) energy, and Blood serves as Ying (Nutritive) energy. The classics state: Ying is refined essence from water and grain, it harmonizes the five Zang organs and distributes to the six Fu organs, thereby entering the meridians... vision... and able... ; Blood... in... heat... then... disease.
