治肺脏损烂，或将成肺痈，或咳嗽吐脓血者，又兼治肺结核。

子（三钱炒捣） 贝母（三钱） 知母（三钱） 三七（二钱，捣细药汁送服）

一人，年四十八，咳吐痰涎甚腥臭，夜间出汗，日形羸弱。医者言不可治，求愚诊视。脉数至六至，按之
无力，投以此汤，加生龙骨六钱，又将方中知母加倍，两剂汗止，又服十剂全愈。
肺结核之治法，曾详载于参麦汤下。然所论者，因肺结核而成劳瘵之治法，此方及下方，乃治肺结核而未
成劳瘵者也。
治肺郁痰火及肺虚热作嗽，兼治肺结核。
嫩桑叶（一两） 儿茶（一两） 蓬砂（一两） 苏子（一两炒捣） 粉甘草（一两）
上药五味为细末，蜜作丸三钱重，早晚各服一丸，开水送下。
肺脏具 辟之机，治肺之药，过于散则有碍于 ，过于敛则有碍于辟。桑得土之精气而生（根皮甚黄燧应
夏季是其明征），故长于理肺家之病，以土生金之义也。至其叶凉而宣通，最解肺中风热，其能散可知。又善
固气化，治崩带脱肛（肺气旺自无诸疾），其能敛可知。敛而且散之妙用，于肺脏 辟之机尤投合也。蓬砂之
性凉而滑，能通利肺窍，儿茶之性凉而涩，能安敛肺叶。二药并用，与肺之 辟亦甚投合。又佐以苏子之降气
定喘，甘草之益土生金，蜂蜜之润肺清燥，所以治嗽甚效也。
按∶蓬砂、儿茶，医者多认为疮家专药。不知其理痰宁嗽，皆为要品。且二药外用，能解毒化腐生肌，故
内服亦治肺结核，或肺中损烂，亦甚有效验。
治疗肺脏组织溃烂，或即将形成肺痈（肺部化脓性病变），或咳嗽并吐出脓血的患者，同时也用于治疗肺结核。
生明乳香（三钱） 生明没药（三钱） 粉甘草（三钱） 生黄芪（三钱） 玄参（三钱） 沙参（三钱） 牛蒡子（三钱，炒后捣碎） 贝母（三钱） 知母（三钱） 三七（二钱，研成细末，用药汁送服）
有一位患者，四十八岁，咳嗽吐出的痰涎气味极其腥臭，夜间出汗，身体日渐消瘦虚弱。医生认为无法治愈，请求我诊治。其脉搏频率极快，达到一息六至（每分钟约120次以上），重按无力。投以此方，并加入生龙骨六钱，同时将方中的知母用量加倍。服用两剂后汗止，又服用十剂后完全痊愈。
关于肺结核的治疗方法，曾在“参麦汤”条目下详细记载。然而，那里论述的是因肺结核而发展为劳瘵（虚劳重症）后的治法；此方及下方，则是针对尚未发展为劳瘵的肺结核患者的治法。
嫩桑叶（一两） 儿茶（一两） 硼砂（一两） 苏子（一两，炒后捣碎） 粉甘草（一两）
将上述五味药研磨成细末，用蜂蜜制成每丸重三钱的药丸，早晚各服用一丸，开水送服。
肺脏具有宣发与肃降的功能机制。治疗肺病的药物，如果过于发散，就会妨碍肺气的肃降；如果过于收敛，就会妨碍肺气的宣发。桑树汲取了土的精华而生（其根皮呈深黄色，顺应夏季，这是明显的证据），因此擅长调理肺部的疾病，这符合“土生金”的理论。至于桑叶，性质凉润且具有宣通作用，最能解除肺经的风热，其发散之力可见一斑。同时，它善于固摄气化功能，治疗崩漏、带下及脱肛（肺气旺盛自然能避免这些疾病），其收敛之效也可知。既收敛又散发的微妙作用，尤其契合肺脏宣发与肃降的生理机制。硼砂的性质凉润滑利，能够通利肺窍；儿茶的性质凉润涩敛，能够安守收敛肺叶。这两味药配合使用，也非常符合肺脏宣发与肃降的特性。再加上苏子以降气定喘，甘草以补益脾胃从而滋生肺金（培土生金），蜂蜜以润肺清除燥邪，所以治疗咳嗽非常有效。
按语：硼砂和儿茶，医生们多认为它们是专门治疗疮疡的药物。却不知道它们在理化痰浊、宁嗽止咳方面，都是重要的药材。而且这两味药外用，能够解毒、化腐、生肌，因此内服也能治疗肺结核，或是肺中组织溃烂，也往往有显著的疗效。
Treats damage and ulceration of the lung tissue, or impending formation of Lung Abscess (pulmonary suppurative lesion), or coughing up pus and blood; also treats Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
Raw Resina Incense (Sanqi) Raw Resina Olibanum (Sanqi) Powdered Licorice Root (Sanqi) Raw Astragalus Root (Sanqi) Scrophularia Root (Sanqi) Glehnia Root (Sanqi) Arnebiae Semen / Acanthopanacis Senticosi Fructus? *Correction: Niu Bang Zi is Arctii Fructus* (Sanqi, stir-fried and crushed) Fritillaria Bulb (Sanqi) Anemarrhenae Rhizoma (Sanqi) Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma (Liangqi, finely powdered, taken with decoction juice)
For cases where Lung Abscess is about to form, remove Astragalus Root and add Honeysuckle Flower (Sanqi).
A patient, aged forty-eight, coughed up sputum with a very foul and fishy odor, sweated at night, and became increasingly emaciated. Physicians stated it was incurable, so he sought my consultation. The pulse was rapid, reaching six beats per respiration (approx. >120 bpm), and felt weak upon deep pressure. I administered this decoction, adding Raw Dragon Bone (Liangqian), and doubled the dosage of Anemarrhenae Rhizoma in the formula. After two doses, sweating ceased; after ten more doses, full recovery was achieved.
The treatment for Pulmonary Tuberculosis was detailed previously under the entry for Ginseng and Ophiopogon Decoction (Shenmai Tang). However, that discussion concerned the treatment of Lao Zhai (Consumption Syndrome) resulting from Pulmonary Tuberculosis. This formula and the following one are intended for Pulmonary Tuberculosis that has not yet progressed to Consumption Syndrome.
Treats Lung Qi stagnation with phlegm-fire, and cough caused by Lung deficiency heat; also treats Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
Young Mulberry Leaf (Liang) Child's Tea (Liang) Borax (Liang) Perilla Seed (Liang, stir-fried and crushed) Powdered Licorice Root (Liang)
Grind the above five herbs into a fine powder. Make pills weighing Sanqian each using honey. Take one pill morning and evening, washed down with boiled water.
The Lung possesses the mechanism of dispersing (Xuan) and descending (Su). Medicines for treating the Lung, if too dispersing, will hinder its descending function; if too astringent, they will hinder its dispersing function. The mulberry tree grows by absorbing the essence of Earth (the yellowish-brown root bark adapting to summer is clear evidence); thus, it excels in treating Lung diseases, adhering to the principle of "Earth generating Metal." As for its leaves, they are cool and promoting circulation, best resolving Wind-Heat in the Lung; their dispersing nature is evident. Furthermore, they are good at consolidating Qi transformation, treating metrorrhagia, leukorrhea, and rectal prolapse (if Lung Qi is vigorous, these ailments do not occur); their astringent nature is also evident. The subtle interplay of astringency and dispersion particularly harmonizes with the Lung's mechanism of dispersing and descending. Borax is cool and slippery, capable of unblocking the Lung orifices; Child's Tea is cool and astringent, capable of stabilizing and astringing the Lung lobes. The combination of these two herbs aligns well with the Lung's dispersing and descending functions. Additionally, assisted by Perilla Seed to direct Qi downward and calm wheezing, Licorice Root to tonify Earth and generate Metal (Pei Tu Sheng Jin), and Honey to moisten the Lung and clear dryness, this combination is highly effective for treating cough.
Note: Physicians often consider Borax and Child's Tea as specialized medicines for sores and ulcers. They fail to realize that both are essential items for resolving phlegm and calming cough. Moreover, when applied externally, they detoxify, resolve putrefaction, and promote flesh regeneration; therefore, when taken internally, they are also effective for treating Pulmonary Tuberculosis or ulceration within the Lung.
