Mahuang Tang (Ephedra Decoction): Treats headache, fever, body pain, aversion to wind, absence of sweating, and wheezing with chest fullness caused by Taiyang disease (disease pattern resulting from pathogenic invasion of the Taiyang channel). The pulse is floating and tight. If the condition persists for eight or nine days without resolution, diaphoresis (inducing sweating) should be employed. After sweating, if the patient experiences restlessness and drowsiness with closed eyes, epistaxis (nosebleed) will inevitably occur, and the condition will resolve upon bleeding. This occurs because of excessive accumulation of Yang Qi.

Another variation, where Mahuang stems are removed, Xingren skins and tips are removed, and Gancao is honey-fried, is named Sanhe Tang (Harmony Decoction), which is particularly effective for wheezing and cough. Modifications depend on flexible application: add Qianhu (Peucedani Radix) for heat; add Jingjie for Wind-cold; add Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) for phlegm.
