What is the cause of urgent breathing and panting in the throat after childbirth? The answer is: Ying (nutritive qi, essential qi circulating within the vessels) is blood; Wei (defensive qi, yang qi circulating outside the vessels) is qi. Ying circulates within the vessels, while Wei circulates outside the vessels. They follow each other up and down.

If affected by wind-cold, or due to sorrow, anger, or consumption of cold food and drink, even the emergency formula Duoming Dan may not be sufficient. How much less so in cases of isolated Yang and exhausted Yin? If Ying blood suddenly depletes, a large dose should be decocted and taken.

For treating persistent lung heat with chest oppression, urgent panting in the chest, intermittent guest-heat causing extreme distress, and inability to tolerate medication, this formula can be used. For chest panting, use peach bark and Daphne genkwa flower.

Postpartum deficiency panting arises from insufficiency of the Zang-Fu organs and damage to Qi and Blood. Stagnant blood rushes to the Heart and attacks upward to the Lung. Since the Lung governs Qi, when Qi and Blood surge together upward, it causes urgent panting.

In postpartum conditions, Qi deficiency and Blood weakness lead to open and loose interstices (skin pores and textures). Contracting cold pathogens allows them to transmit into the Lung Meridian, causing obstruction of the airway, stagnation and fullness in the chest, resulting in symptoms of upper Qi rebellion and urgent panting.
