Discourse states: In patients with deficiency consumptive disease (Xu Lao), yang qi is insufficient. When water and fluid intake enter the stomach, they fail to circulate and distribute normally, leading to the accumulation of excessive phlegm-fluids (Tan Yin). The clinical manifestations include a sensation of fullness and oppression in the chest and diaphragm, difficulty breathing with shortness of breath, lethargy and drowsiness, palpitations in the epigastrium, coughing with expectoration of phlegm-fluids, and anorexia. The treatment principle should focus on regulating and smoothing the San Jiao (Triple Burner, the pathways for Qi and fluids in the upper, middle, and lower body), adjusting the ascending and descending of Yin and Yang, ensuring the smooth flow of the air passages, so that the phlegm-fluids will naturally dissipate.
