肺气焦满顺之则生。逆之则死。顺之则治。逆之则乱。反顺为逆。是谓关格。病则生矣。（千

《删繁论》说：大凡患有肺劳病的人，应当通过补肾气来补益身体。肾气旺盛，就能感应并滋养肺气。如果人的行为违背秋季收敛的规律，那么手太阴肺经的功能就会无法正常收敛。顺应这一规律则生机盎然，违背它则导致死亡；顺应它则疾病可治，违背它则病情混乱。将顺应变为违背，这就叫做“关格”（阴阳隔绝、上下不通的危重证候），疾病由此产生。（出自《千金方》）
另外，《删繁》治疗肺劳实热证，表现为气喘、呼吸时鼻翼扇动、面目痛苦性浮肿，使用麻黄引气汤方。
药材包括：麻黄（去除节部）、杏仁（去皮尖，保留两仁者）、生姜、半夏（洗净，各五两）、石膏（八两，打碎后用绵布包裹）、白前、细辛、桂心（各一两）、竹叶（切段，一升）、橘皮（一升）、干紫苏。
以上十一味药切碎，用水一斗，煎煮至取汁三升，滤去药渣。分三次服用。忌食羊肉、饴糖、生葱、生菜。
又用于治疗肺劳热邪，损伤肺部滋生肺虫，虫形如蚕，在肺中致病，使人咳嗽逆气、气喘，或者导致忧膈、气膈、恚膈（因愤怒导致的膈证）、寒膈、热膈等膈证，这些病症都从劳损之气而生，名为膏肓穴针灸难以触及治疗的顽疾。使用麦门冬五膈下气丸方。
药材包括：麦门冬（十分，去心）、椒（四分，出汗处理）、远志皮、附子（炮制）、细辛（各六分）、甘草（十分，炙烤）、干姜、桂心、人参、百部、白术、黄芩（各五分）、杏仁（四十枚，熬制后去皮尖，保留两仁者）。
以上十三味药捣碎过筛，用白蜜调和制成如弹子大小的丸药。每次取一丸放在牙齿间含化，慢慢咽下其汁液。忌食猪肉、海藻、菘菜（白菜类）、生葱、桃李、雀肉等。
又用于治疗肺劳热邪，滋生肺虫，在肺中致病，使用桑白皮根煎方。
药材包括：桑树向东生长的根部白皮（切段，一升）、野狼牙草（三两）、向东生长的吴茱萸根皮（五两）。
以上三味药切碎，用酒三升，煎煮至取汁一升，清晨空腹服用效果良好。
又用于治疗肺热，不分冬夏老少，只要头上出现白色皮屑，搔抓后瘙痒且皮屑起落的症状。这是因为肺为五脏之华盖，劳损损伤肺气，肺气上冲头顶，致使头皮出现白屑，搔抓而起。许多人患此病，皆源于肺，世人称之为头风。使用沐头汤方。
药材包括：大麻仁（三升）、秦艽（二两）、皂荚（锉碎，五两）。
以上三味药仔细研磨，放入米泔水中浸泡一夜，滤去药渣。用米泔水搅拌三四百遍，取其中的沉淀物（或指利用米泔水的特性清洗），然后用此液洗发。待头发干燥后，再用皂荚汤清洗一遍，彻底调理后再涂抹药膏。
又用于治疗头风，头部发痒，搔抓后白屑起落，使用五香膏方。
药材包括：藿香、甘松香、甲香（炙烤）、鸡舌香（丁香）、附子（炮制）、续断、乌喙（炮制，各五分）、泽兰、防风、细辛、白术（各适量）、甘草（三分，炙烤）、猪脂（适量）。
以上十八味药切碎后用绵布包裹，用醋二升浸泡一夜，用药膏煎煮。以附子和黄芩的颜色变化为度（指煎煮程度），滤去药渣。按照前面洗发后的步骤，将药膏敷用。用手揉搓头皮，使药膏温和地附着在皮肤上。这不仅能使白屑痊愈，还能促进头发生长，使头发黑润光泽。（均出自第七卷）
The *Shanfan Lun* (Treatise on Deleting Redundancies) states: For those suffering from Lung Consumption (Fei Lao), one should tonify the Kidney Qi to benefit the body. When Kidney Qi is robust, it can resonate with and nourish Lung Qi. If human actions go against the autumnal energy of收敛 (convergence/gathering), the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian will fail to function properly in its converging role. Adhering to this principle promotes life; opposing it leads to death. Adhering to it allows for treatment; opposing it leads to chaos. Reversing adherence into opposition is called "Guan Ge" (a critical syndrome characterized by the blockage of Yin and Yang, and obstruction between upper and lower parts), from which disease arises. (From *Qianjin Fang*)
Additionally, *Shanfan* treats Lung Consumption with Excess-Heat, manifesting as panting, nasal flaring during respiration, and painful swelling of the face and eyes, using the Mahuang Yingqi Tang (Ephedra Decoction for Guiding Qi).
Ingredients include: Ephedrae Herba (Mahuang, 麻黄) (nodes removed), Armeniacae Semen Amarum (Xingren, 杏仁) (skin and tips removed, retaining kernels with two embryos), Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens (Shengjiang, 生姜), Pinelliae Rhizoma Preparatum (Banxia, 半夏) (washed, each 5 liang), Gypsum Fibrosum (Shigao, 石膏) (8 liang, crushed and wrapped in cotton), Ancymidis Radicis Cortex (Baiqian, 白前), Asari Radix et Rhizoma (Xixin, 细辛), Cinnamomi Ramulus (Guixin, 桂心) (each 1 liang), Bambusae Folium (Zhuye, 竹叶) (cut, 1 sheng), Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (Jupi, 橘皮) (1 sheng), Perillae Fructus Dryocarpus (Gan Zisu, 干紫苏).
The above eleven herbs are chopped. Boil in 10 dou of water until reduced to 3 sheng of decoction. Strain the dregs. Divide into three doses. Avoid mutton, maltose, raw green onions, and raw vegetables.
Also used to treat Lung Consumption Heat damaging the lungs and generating lung parasites, worm-like in shape, causing cough, rebellious qi, and panting, or leading to various Diaphragm Syndromes such as You Ge (Worry Diaphragm), Qi Ge (Qi Stagnation Diaphragm), Hui Ge (Anger Diaphragm), Han Ge (Cold Diaphragm), and Re Ge (Heat Diaphragm). These conditions all arise from consumption qi and are named as stubborn diseases beyond the reach of acupuncture at the Gaohuang acupoints. Use the Maimendong Wuge Xiaqi Wan (Ophiopogon Five-Diaphragm Descending Qi Pill) formula.
Ingredients include: Ophiopogonis Radix (Maimendong, 麦门冬) (10 fen, heart removed), Zanthoxyli Pericarpium (Jiao, 椒) (4 fen, perspired/sweated), Polygalae Radix Cortex (Yuanzhi Pi, 远志皮), Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata (Fuzi, 附子) (processed), Asari Radix et Rhizoma (Xixin, 细辛) (each 6 fen), Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao, 甘草) (10 fen, honey-fried), Zingiberis Rhizoma Dryus (Ganjiang, 干姜), Cinnamomi Ramulus (Guixin, 桂心), Ginseng Radix (Renshen, 人参), Stemona Radix (Baibu, 百部), Atractodis Rhizoma (Baizhu, 白术), Scutellariae Radix (Huangqin, 黄芩) (each 5 fen), Armeniacae Semen Amarum (Xingren, 杏仁) (40 seeds, roasted, skin and tips removed, retaining kernels with two embryos).
The above thirteen herbs are pounded and sifted. Mix with white honey to form pills the size of a bullet. Take one pill, place it between the teeth to dissolve slowly, and swallow the juice gradually. Avoid pork, kelp, Chinese cabbage, raw green onions, peaches, plums, and sparrow meat.
Also used to treat Lung Consumption Heat generating lung parasites in the lungs, using the Sangbaipi Gen Jian (Mulberry Root Bark Decoction) formula.
Ingredients include: Cortex Mori Radicis (Sangbaipi, 桑白皮) from the east-facing root of the mulberry tree (cut, 1 sheng), Potentillae Chinensis Radix (Yelangya, 野狼牙), Cortex Evodiae Radicis (Dongxing Zhuyu Genpi, 东行茱萸根皮) (5 liang).
The above three herbs are chopped. Boil in 3 sheng of wine until reduced to 1 sheng. Take on an empty stomach in the early morning for best results.
Also used to treat Lung Heat, regardless of season or age, where white flakes appear on the scalp, causing itching and rising flakes upon scratching. This is because the Lung is the canopy of the five zang organs; damage from consumption causes Lung Qi to rush to the top of the head, resulting in white flakes on the scalp that rise when scratched. Many people suffer from this, originating from the Lung, commonly known as Head Wind (Tou Feng). Use the Mutou Tang (Head-Washing Decoction) formula.
Ingredients include: Cannabis Fructus (Dama Ren, 大麻仁) (3 sheng), Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix (Qinjiao, 秦艽) (2 liang), Gleditsiae Sinensis Spina (Zaojia, 皂荚) (crushed, 5 liang).
The above three herbs are finely ground and soaked overnight in rice wash water. Strain the dregs. Stir the rice wash water hundreds of times, then use it to wash the hair. After drying, wash again with a Gleditsiae Sinensis Spina decoction. Once thoroughly cleansed, apply ointment.
Also used to treat Head Wind, where the head itches and white flakes rise upon scratching, using the Wuxiang Gao (Five-Fragrance Ointment) formula.
Ingredients include: Agastachis Herba (Huoxiang, 藿香), Nardostachyos Radix et Rhizoma (Gansongxiang, 甘松香), Testudinis et Chelydrae Carapax et Plastrum (Jiaxiang, 甲香) (fried), Caryophylli Flos (Jitexiang, 鸡舌香), Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata (Fuzi, 附子) (processed), Dipsaci Radix (Xuduan), Aconiti Radix (Wuhui, 乌喙) (processed, each 5 fen), Lycopii Herba (Zelan), Saposhnikoviae Radix (Fangfeng, 防风), Asari Radix et Rhizoma (Xixin, 细辛), Atractodis Rhizoma (Baizhu, 白术) (each appropriate amount), Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao, 甘草) (3 fen, honey-fried), Suis Adeps (Zhufei, 猪脂) (appropriate amount).
The above eighteen herbs are chopped, wrapped in cotton, and soaked in 2 sheng of vinegar (acetic acid solution) overnight. Fry in ointment base. Stop when the color changes indicating the extraction of Fuzi and Huangqin components. Strain the dregs. Following the previous head-washing procedure, apply the ointment. Rub the scalp with hands to allow the ointment to adhere gently to the skin. This not only cures white flakes but also promotes hair growth, making hair black, glossy, and moist. (All from Volume 7)
