哮吼是以声音命名的病证,喉咙中发出像水鸡(青蛙)叫声的就是这种病。其病因主要在于痰饮,适宜采用吐法治疗。也有因体质虚弱而不能使用吐法的。治疗时,有的用紫金丹来引导排出痰涎,用小胃丹攻逐痰浊而痊愈;有的用六味地黄丸、补中益气汤,逐渐进服而痊愈。必须根据患者虚实情况进行辨证治疗。

一种论述:凡是遇到天气将要下雨时,就发作哮喘,甚至坐卧不安,饮食不进。这是因为肺窍中积存有冷痰,趁着天阴寒气从背部和鼻子进入体内,导致肺胀产生声音。这种病有的痛苦终身,也有母子相传的。每次发作时就服用此方,不过七八次,感觉痰液腥臭,吐出白色痰液,就是断绝病根了。用此方:

The pulse is generally floating and slippery, indicating a condition that is easy to treat. The pulse is faint and choppy, indicating a difficult-to-treat condition.
Xiao Hou (Wheezing and Stridor) is named after its sound; the condition where the throat makes a sound like a water chicken (frog) is this disease. It primarily concerns phlegm (Tan). The vomiting method (Tu Fa) is suitable for treatment. However, there are cases of deficiency where vomiting cannot be used. Treatment involves using Zijin Dan (Purple Gold Pill) to guide out phlegm, or Xiaowei Dan (Minor Stomach Pill) to purge phlegm, resulting in cure. In other cases, Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill) and Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) are gradually administered until recovery. Treatment must be based on assessing the patient's excess or deficiency patterns.
Qianjin Dingchuan Tang (Thousand-Gold Asthma-Calming Decoction) treats Xiao Hou with miraculous effect.
Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba, 2 qian) Sangbaipi (Morus Alba Bark, honey-fried, 3 qian) Xingren (Prunus Armeniaca Seed, 1.5 qian) Suzi (Perilla Fruit, 2 qian) Baiguo (Ginkgo Seed, 21 pieces, fried)
Kuandonghua (Fritillaria Thunbergii Flower, 3 qian) Huangqin (Scutellaria Root, 1.5 qian, fried) Banxia (Pinellia Tuber, soaked in Licorice water) Gancao (Licorice Root, each 1 qian)
Crush the herbs. Decoct in plain water. Take well after meals.
Various diseases originally have their prescriptions, but one worries most that asthma is the hardest to manage. Mahuang, Sangbaipi, Xingren seek Suzi; Baiguo and Kuandonghua are even better medicines. Gancao, Huangqin together with Banxia, decocted in water boiled a hundred times without needing ginger. When patients encounter this immortal prescription, they will know it is Dingchuan Tang only after taking it.
One discussion: People who habitually suffer from panting urgency, when exposed to irregular cold and warmth, develop incessant Xiao Hou, unable to sleep at night. Use this formula:
Sushen Jiubao Tang (Su Shen Nine-Treasure Decoction)
Zisu (Perilla Leaf) Bohe (Mentha Haplocalyx) Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba) Xingren (Prunus Armeniaca Seed, skin and tip removed) Sangbaipi (Morus Alba Bark) Dafupi (Areca Peel) Guanzi (Cassia Twig) Gancao (Licorice Root)
Crush the herbs. Use three slices of fresh ginger, one dark plum (Wumei), one bowl of water. Decoct until eight-tenths remains. Take after meals. It is effective immediately and stop taking it thereafter. Only be cautious about laborious work. Avoid rich flavors. Regulate desires. During the day, regularly take Shunqi Huatan Wan (Regulate Qi and Resolve Phlegm Pill). At bedtime, take Yihuo Runxia Wan (Suppress Fire and Moisten Descend Pill). To eradicate the root, compound Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill) adding Huangbai (Phellodendron Bark), Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma), Renshen (Ginseng Radix), Ziwan (Asteris Radix), Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus), Baihe (Lilii Bulbus), each 2 liang. Fuxiaomai Fen (Triticum Aestivum Flour), Shumi (Refined Honey) 4 liang. Make into pills with paste. Take 100 pills per dose, empty stomach, send down with Persimmon Cake Decoction. Eat the cake along with the medicine.

Grind into fine powder. Steam Wumei meat until cooked, mash into a paste to form pills, size of Sophora seeds. Take 30 pills per dose, before sleeping or after meals. Send down with Ginger Skin Decoction.
One discussion: Panting and Xiao Hou, upper asthmatic breathing unceasing. Perhaps salt or water has irritated the lung orifices, commonly called "Panting Disease." Use this secret recipe:
Xiaoji Cao (Little Thistle Herb) one handful. Use 4 liang of lean pork. Cook together in water until done. Eat the meat and drink the broth; it cures immediately. This herb grows in March, has four edges in July-August, sharp stems and leaves, and flowers/seeds at the tips.
One discussion: Whenever weather seems about to rain, asthma attacks occur, so severe that sitting or lying down is impossible, and food intake ceases. This is because cold phlegm accumulates in the lung orifices. Taking advantage of cloudy sky and cold qi entering from the back and nose, the lungs swell and produce sound. This illness causes suffering lifelong for some, and is transmitted between mother and child for others. Take this formula whenever it attacks. After no more than seven or eight doses, if the sputum smells fishy and white phlegm is expectorated, the root is eradicated. Use this formula:
Zijin Dan (Purple Gold Pill)
Bai Pi (White Arsenic, 1 qian, raw use) Kubai Fan (Dried White Alum, 3 qian, separately ground) Dandouchi (Light Fermented Soybean, Jiangxi origin, 1 liang, soaked in water, skin removed, steamed, ground into mud, then mixed with the powders of the other two ingredients)
Knead into pills, size of mung beans. As soon as an attack is felt, send down with cold tea: 7 pills for mild cases, 9 for severe cases. Stop when wheezing ceases. If it recurs, do not increase the number of pills. Be cautious. Children take 1-2 pills.
Daotan Xiaowei Dan (Guide Phlegm Minor Stomach Pill) (Formula see Phlegm-Qi section) treats Xiao Hou that has persisted for years. Suitable for long-term administration to eradicate the root.
One discussion: For asthma with urgent breathing that does not cease, use:
Junqi Baxian Tang (Harmonize Qi Eight-Immortal Decoction)
Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba, 2 qian) Xingren (Prunus Armeniaca Seed, 2 qian) Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum, 3 qian) Jiegeng (Platycodon Root, 1 qian) Pian Qin (Scutellaria Root, 2 qian) Beimu (Fritillariae Bulbus, 1 qian, stir-fried three times with decoction of 3 fen Beixixin [Asari Radix et Rhizoma], then ground) Sheng Gancao (Raw Licorice Root, 1 qian) Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma, 2 qian)
