〔大〕妇人咳嗽者，由肌体虚，外受于寒热风湿所得也。肺为四脏之华盖，内统诸
脏之气，外合于皮毛。若为寒热风湿所伤，邪气自皮毛而入于肺，中外皆伤，故令咳也。大
抵治咳不可一概治，当以脉息辨之。其脉浮而弦者起于风，濡而弱者起于湿，洪而数者
起于热，迟而涩者起于寒。风者散之，湿者燥之，热者凉之，寒者温之，虚者补之，未
有不安者也。
〔薛〕丹溪云∶春是木气上升，夏是火气炎上，秋是湿热伤肺，冬是风寒外来。当
发散行痰开腠理，用二陈汤加麻黄、桔梗、杏仁。痰饮随证加药，劳嗽宜四物加竹沥、姜
汁。干咳嗽难治，此证乃痰郁火邪也。用苦梗开之，夏用补阴降火，不已则成劳。上半
日多嗽者，胃火也，用贝母、石膏。午后嗽者，阴虚也，用四物加炒黑黄柏、知母。黄
昏嗽者，火气浮于肺也，用五味子、五倍子。五更嗽者，饮食之火流于肺也，以贝母、软
石膏。肺胀而嗽，或左或右不得眠，此痰挟瘀血气滞而病，宜养血疏肝清痰，用四物加
桃仁、诃子、青皮、竹沥之类。嗽而胁下痛，宜疏肝气，以青皮。挟痰实者，白芥子之类。
血碍气作嗽者，桃仁、大黄、姜汁丸服。治嗽多用生姜，以其辛散故也。痰因火动，逆
上作嗽者，先治火，次治痰，以知母止嗽、清肺、滋阴、降火。夜嗽用清阴分之剂，若嗽
多用粟壳不必疑，但要去病根，此乃收后药也。窃谓前证午前嗽，属胃火盛，用竹叶石
膏汤。（伤寒瘥后病。）胃气虚，用补中益气（杂病伤劳倦。）加炒山栀。午后嗽，属阴血虚，用四物、
黄柏、知母。（二味酒拌炒黑。）肾水虚，用六味地黄丸。（杂病虚劳。）黄昏嗽，用四物、五味、麦
门并前丸。五更嗽用六君子。（杂病虚劳。）不得眠及两胁下痛，用六味地黄、补中益气。若
因气虚腠理不密，六淫所浸，当祛外邪而实脾土。若因心火太过，当伐肝木而滋肺金。若
肺金气虚，当补脾土而生肺气。若因肾水亏损，虚火炎上，当补肺肾以滋化源。大抵风
邪胃火，此实热为患，易治。惟肺肾亏损，此真脏为患，最难调治。一妇人素勤苦，冬
初咳嗽发热，吐血盗汗，通身作痛，或寒热往来，用化痰降火之药，口噤筋挛。此血本
虚而药复损之耳。余用八味丸（杂病虚劳。）为主，佐以补中益气、麦门、五味、山药，年余而
愈。一妇人咳嗽发热，呕吐痰涎，日夜约五六碗，喘咳胸痞，燥渴不食，崩血如涌。此
脾土虚寒，用八味丸及附子理中汤（杂病中寒。）而愈。一妇人不得于姑，患嗽胸膈不利，饮
食无味，此脾肺俱伤，痰郁于中也。先用归脾汤（杂病健忘。）加山栀、抚芎、贝母、桔梗，诸
证渐愈。后以六君加芎、归、桔梗间服，全
愈。一妇人咳嗽，早间吐痰甚多，夜间喘急不寐。余谓早间多痰，乃脾虚饮食所化，夜
间喘急，乃肺虚阴火上冲，用补中益气加麦门、五味而愈。一妇人患咳嗽，胁痛发热，
日晡益甚。余曰∶此肝脾虚热而伤肺也，用加味逍遥散（调经。）加熟地黄治之而愈。后因怒
气劳役，前证仍作，兼太阳痛，或寒热往来，或咳嗽遗尿，此肺气虚而尿脬失制也，仍用
前散及地黄丸而瘥。一妇人久咳嗽，面色痿黄，或时 白，肢体倦怠，饮食少思，稍
多则泻，此脾土虚而不能生肺金，朝用补中益气汤，夕用六君子汤为主，间佐以八珍汤，
杂病虚劳。三月余渐愈。后感寒邪喘嗽，胸腹作胀，饮食不入，四肢逆冷，此中气尚虚，不
能充皮毛，肥腠理，司开阖之所致也。遂用六君加生姜、桔梗而愈。
初虞世曰∶经曰∶微寒为嗽，寒甚为肠癖。古人立方治嗽，未有不本于温药，如干
姜、桂心、细辛之属。以寒气入里，非辛甘不能发散，以此准之，未有不因寒而嗽也。又
曰∶热在上焦，因咳为肺痿。又实则为肺痈，虚则为肺痿。此人其始或血不足，或酒色滋
味太过，或因服利药重亡津液，燥气内焚，肺金受邪，脉数发热，咳嗽脓血，病至于此，亦
已危矣。古人立方，亦用温药，如建中之属。今人但见寒热咳嗽，率用柴胡、鳖甲、门冬、
葶苈等药，旋踵受弊而不知非，可为深戒。就使不可进以温药，亦须妙以汤丸，委曲调治，
无为卤莽，致伤人命。
〔薛〕丹溪云∶阴分嗽者，多属阴虚。肺胀不得眠者难治。肺痿，专主补气养血清
金。肺气有余者宜泻之，以桑白皮为主，半夏、茯苓佐之，泻其有余，补其不足。肺燥
者当润之，属热者大力子、桔梗、知母、鸡子清。声哑者属寒也，细辛、半夏、生姜。肺
虚者，人参、阿胶为主。阴不足者，六味地黄为要药，或知母茯苓汤。阴虚气喘，四物
加陈皮、甘草以降其气，补其阴。窃谓前证嗽而鼻塞声重，风邪伤肺也，用参苏饮。（杂病
发热。）面赤喘嗽，火克肺也，人参平肺散。（杂病喘。）寒热交作，肝气不和也，四君加知母、
柴胡、桔梗。咳喘短气，肺虚也，人参补肺汤。（喘满。）体倦少食，脾虚也，参术补脾汤。
（本条。）口干咽燥，虚火上炎也，六味丸。大凡发热喘嗽，或咳唾脓血，饮食不入，急补脾
肺，滋肾水，多有得生者。脉浮大而面色赤者皆难治，脉浮短涩者可疗。
经曰∶感于寒，微则为咳，甚则为泄。盖肺主气，合于皮毛，邪伤皮毛，则咳，为肺
病，传于各脏，以时受邪。肺为嫩脏，邪易伤而难治。其嗽有肺、心、脾、肾、肝、风、
寒、支、饮、胆之十种。亦有劳嗽者，华佗谓之邪嗽，孙真人谓之注嗽。此因酒色过度，
劳伤肺经，重者咯唾脓血，轻者时发时瘥，或先呕血而后嗽，或先咳嗽而吐血，此又挟邪
传疰，孙真人用通气丸，梦与鬼交，用四满丸、蛤蚧、天灵盖、桃柳枝、安息香之类。若
肺中有虫入喉痒嗽，须以药含化，其虫即死，嗽即止。
〔薛〕仲景先生云∶咳而两胁痛，不能转侧，两 满，属于肝脏，用小柴胡汤。咳
而呕苦水，属胆腑，黄芩半夏生姜汤。咳而喉中如梗状，甚则咽肿喉闭，属心脏，桔梗汤。
咳而大便失气，属小肠腑，芍药甘草汤。咳而右 痛阴引肩背，甚则不可动，动则咳剧，
属脾脏，升麻汤。咳而呕，呕甚则出长虫，属胃腑，鸟梅丸。咳而喘息有声，甚则唾血，属
肺脏，升麻汤。咳而失尿，属大肠腑，麻黄附子细辛汤；咳而遗溺，属膀胱，茯苓半夏
汤。咳而不止，三焦受之，其状腹满不食，涕唾，而目浮肿，气逆，异功散。用之对证，其
效如神。一妇人患前证，晡热内热，寒热往来，作渴盗汗，小便频数，其经两三月一
行，此肝脾气血虚损，用八珍汤、六味丸，六十余剂，诸证渐愈。其经两月一行，仍用前
二药，间以加味逍遥散，各三十余剂。后恚怒，适经行，去血过多，诸证悉至，饮食少
思，腹胀气促，用十全大补汤数剂渐愈，仍
用前药，调补渐安。复因丧子，胸腹不利，食少，内热盗汗，便血无寐，用加味归脾汤，仍
兼前药而愈。一妇人患前证，不时发热，或时寒热，或用清热之剂，其热益甚，盗汗口
干，两足如炙，遍身皆热，昏愦如醉，良久热止方苏，或晡热至旦方止，此阴血虚而阳
气弱也。余朝用六味丸料，夕用十全大补汤，月余诸证稍愈，更兼以补中益气汤，两月余
而愈。

【大】妇人出现咳嗽症状，是由于身体虚弱，外感寒、热、风、湿邪气所致。肺被称为五脏的华盖（位于五脏最高处，覆盖诸脏），内统摄各脏之气，外合于皮毛。如果受到寒热风湿的侵袭，邪气从皮毛进入肺部，导致内外都受伤，所以引起咳嗽。大致治疗咳嗽不能一概而论，应当通过脉象来辨别。脉象浮而弦的，起因为风邪；脉象濡而弱的，起因为湿邪；脉象洪大而数的，起因为热邪；脉象迟而涩的，起因为寒邪。对于风邪引起的咳嗽用发散法，湿邪用燥湿法，热邪用清凉法，寒邪用温散法，虚证用补益法，没有不安愈的。
【薛】丹溪说：春季是木气上升，夏季是火气炎上，秋季是湿热伤肺，冬季是风寒外来。应当使用发散、行痰、开腠理的方法，用二陈汤加麻黄、桔梗、杏仁。根据痰饮情况随证加减药物，劳嗽（因虚劳引起的咳嗽）适宜用四物汤加竹沥、姜汁。干咳难以治疗，这种证候是痰郁结化火邪所致。用桔梗开宣肺气，夏季用滋阴降火药，如果不治愈则会变成劳病。上午多咳嗽的，是胃火，用贝母、石膏。午后咳嗽的，是阴虚，用四物汤加炒黑黄柏、知母。黄昏时咳嗽的，是火气浮越于肺，用五味子、五倍子。五更时咳嗽的，是饮食之火流注于肺，用贝母、软石膏。肺胀而咳嗽，或者左侧或右侧疼痛无法安睡，这是痰挟瘀血、气滞导致的病，宜养血疏肝清痰，用四物汤加桃仁、诃子、青皮、竹沥之类。咳嗽且胁下痛，宜疏肝气，用青皮。挟有实痰的，用白芥子之类。血碍气作咳的，用桃仁、大黄、姜汁制成丸剂服用。治疗咳嗽多用生姜，因为它具有辛散的作用。痰因火动，逆上作咳的，先治火，后治痰，用知母止嗽、清肺、滋阴、降火。夜间咳嗽用清阴分的方剂，如果咳嗽多用罂粟壳不必怀疑，但要去掉病根，这是收敛后的用药。我认为前述证候中，午前咳嗽，属于胃火盛，用竹叶石膏汤。（伤寒病愈后遗留的病。）胃气虚，用补中益气汤（杂病因劳累过度损伤。）加炒山栀。午后咳嗽，属于阴血虚，用四物汤、黄柏、知母。（这两味药酒拌炒黑。）肾水虚，用六味地黄丸。（杂病虚劳。）黄昏咳嗽，用四物汤、五味子、麦门冬并前丸。五更咳嗽用六君子汤。（杂病虚劳。）不得安眠及两胁下痛，用六味地黄丸、补中益气汤。如果是因气虚腠理不紧密，六淫邪气浸渍，应当祛除外邪而充实脾土。如果因心火太过，应当伐肝木而滋肺金。如果肺金气虚，应当补脾土而生肺气。如果因肾水亏损，虚火炎上，应当补肺肾以滋生化之源。大致风邪胃火，这是实热为患，容易治疗。只有肺肾亏损，这是真脏受损为患，最难调治。一位妇人平素勤劳辛苦，初冬时咳嗽发热，吐血盗汗，全身疼痛，有时寒热往来，用化痰降火的药物后，出现口噤筋挛。这是因为血本虚而药物又损伤了它。我用八味丸（杂病虚劳。）为主，佐以补中益气汤、麦门冬、五味子、山药，一年多才痊愈。一位妇人咳嗽发热，呕吐痰涎，日夜约五六碗，喘咳胸痞，燥渴不食，崩漏出血如涌。这是脾土虚寒，用八味丸及附子理中汤（杂病中寒。）而痊愈。一位妇人因受婆婆气恼，患咳嗽胸膈不利，饮食无味，这是脾肺俱伤，痰郁结在中焦。先用归脾汤（杂病健忘。）加山栀、抚芎、贝母、桔梗，各种症状逐渐痊愈。后来用六君子汤加川芎、当归、桔梗交替服用，完全痊愈。一位妇人咳嗽，早间吐痰很多，夜间喘急不寐。我说早间多痰，是脾虚饮食所化生，夜间喘急，是肺虚阴火上冲，用补中益气汤加麦门冬、五味子而痊愈。一位妇人患咳嗽，胁痛发热，日晡时更加严重。我说：这是肝脾虚热而伤肺，用加味逍遥散（调经。）加熟地黄治疗而痊愈。后来因怒气劳累，前证复发，兼太阳头痛，或寒热往来，或咳嗽遗尿，这是肺气虚而尿脬失于制约，仍用前散及地黄丸而病愈。一位妇人久咳嗽，面色萎黄，有时发白，肢体倦怠，饮食少思，稍多吃则腹泻，这是脾土虚而不能生肺金，早晨用补中益气汤，晚上用六君子汤为主，间佐以八珍汤，杂病虚劳。三月余逐渐痊愈。后感寒邪喘嗽，胸腹作胀，饮食不入，四肢逆冷，这是中气尚虚，不能充养皮毛，肥厚腠理，司管开阖功能所致。于是用六君子汤加生姜、桔梗而痊愈。
初虞世说：经典记载：微寒引起咳嗽，寒甚引起肠癖。古人立方的治咳方法，没有不基于温药的，如干姜、桂心、细辛之类。因为寒气入里，非辛甘不能发散，以此为准，没有不因寒而咳嗽的。又说：热在上焦，因咳导致肺痿。实证则为肺痈，虚证则为肺痿。这些人起初或是血不足，或是酒色滋味太过，或因服用利药重伤津液，燥气内焚，肺金受邪，脉数发热，咳嗽脓血，病至于此，也已经很危险了。古人立方，也用温药，如建中汤之类。今人只见寒热咳嗽，就用柴胡、鳖甲、麦门冬、葶苈等药，随即受害而不知其非，值得深深警戒。即使不可进用温药，也必须巧妙地用汤丸，委婉调治，不要鲁莽，以致伤害人命。
【薛】丹溪说：阴分咳嗽，多属阴虚。肺胀不得安睡的难治。肺痿，专门主补气养血清金。肺气有余的宜泻之，以桑白皮为主，半夏、茯苓佐之，泻其有余，补其不足。肺燥的当润之，属热的用牛蒡子、桔梗、知母、鸡蛋清。声音嘶哑的属寒，用细辛、半夏、生姜。肺虚的，人参、阿胶为主。阴不足的，六味地黄丸为要药，或知母茯苓汤。阴虚气喘，四物汤加陈皮、甘草以降其气，补其阴。我认为前述证候中，咳嗽且鼻塞声重，是风邪伤肺，用参苏饮。（杂病发热。）面赤喘嗽，是火克肺，用人参平肺散。（杂病喘。）寒热交作，是肝气不和，用四君子汤加知母、柴胡、桔梗。咳喘短气，是肺虚，用人参补肺汤。（喘满。）体倦少食，是脾虚，用参术补脾汤。（本条。）口干咽燥，是虚火上炎，用六味丸。大凡发热喘嗽，或咳唾脓血，饮食不入，急补脾胃，滋肾水，多有得生的。脉浮大而面色赤的都难治，脉浮短涩的可以治疗。
经典记载：感受寒邪，轻微则为咳，严重则为泄。大概肺主气，合于皮毛，邪伤皮毛，则咳，为肺病，传于各脏，按时令受邪。肺为嫩脏，邪易伤而难治。其咳嗽有肺、心、脾、肾、肝、风、寒、支、饮、胆的十种。也有劳嗽，华佗称之为邪嗽，孙真人称之为注嗽。这是因为酒色过度，劳伤肺经，重的咯唾脓血，轻的时发时愈，或先呕血而后咳嗽，或先咳嗽而吐血，这又是挟邪传疰，孙真人用通气丸，梦与鬼交，用四满丸、蛤蚧、天灵盖、桃柳枝、安息香之类。如果肺中有虫入喉痒咳，须以药含化，其虫即死，咳即止。
【薛】仲景先生说：咳嗽且两胁痛，不能转侧，两胁胀满，属于肝脏，用小柴胡汤。咳嗽且呕苦水，属于胆腑，用黄芩半夏生姜汤。咳嗽且喉中如有异物梗阻状，甚至咽肿喉闭，属于心脏，用桔梗汤。咳嗽且大便失气，属于小肠腑，用芍药甘草汤。咳嗽且右胁痛引肩背，甚至不可动，动则咳剧，属于脾脏，用升麻汤。咳嗽且呕，呕甚则出长虫，属于胃腑，用乌梅丸。咳嗽且喘息有声，甚至唾血，属于肺脏，用升麻汤。咳嗽且失尿，属于大肠腑，用麻黄附子细辛汤；咳嗽且遗溺，属于膀胱，用茯苓半夏汤。咳嗽不止，三焦受之，其状腹满不食，涕唾，目浮肿，气逆，用异功散。用之对证，其效如神。一位妇人患前证，傍晚发热内热，寒热往来，作渴盗汗，小便频数，月经两三个月一行，这是肝脾气血虚损，用八珍汤、六味地黄丸，六十余剂，各种症状逐渐痊愈。月经两月一行，仍用前二药，间以加味逍遥散，各三十余剂。后来恚怒，适逢经期，去血过多，各种症状全至，饮食少思，腹胀气促，用十全大补汤数剂逐渐痊愈，仍用前药，调补逐渐安宁。又因丧子，胸腹不利，食少，内热盗汗，便血无寐，用加味归脾汤，仍兼前药而痊愈。一位妇人患前证，不时发热，或时寒热，或用清热之剂，其热更甚，盗汗口干，两足如炙，遍身皆热，昏愦如醉，良久热止方醒，或傍晚热至天亮方止，这是阴血虚而阳气弱。我早晨用六味地黄丸料，晚上用十全大补汤，一月余各种症状稍愈，更兼以补中益气汤，两月余而痊愈。

[Da] Cough in women arises from bodily deficiency and external contraction of cold, heat, wind, and dampness. The Lung is the canopy of the five zang organs (the highest organ covering the others), internally governing the qi of all organs, and externally connecting with the skin and hair. If injured by cold, heat, wind, or dampness, pathogenic factors enter the Lung from the skin and hair, injuring both interior and exterior, thus causing cough. Generally, treating cough cannot be uniform; one must differentiate based on pulse. A floating and wiry pulse indicates wind origin; a soggy and weak pulse indicates damp origin; a surging and rapid pulse indicates heat origin; a slow and choppy pulse indicates cold origin. For wind, use dispersing methods; for damp, use drying methods; for heat, use cooling methods; for cold, use warming methods; for deficiency, use tonifying methods. There will be no case that does not heal.
[Xue] Danxi said: In spring, wood qi rises; in summer, fire qi flares upward; in autumn, damp-heat injures the Lung; in winter, wind-cold comes from outside. One should use methods to disperse, move phlegm, and open the couli (pores), using Erchen Tang (Two-Cured Decoction) added with Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba), Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix), and Xingren (Armeniacae Semen). Add herbs according to phlegm-fluids; for lao sou (cough due to consumptive disease), Siwu Tang (Four-substance Decoction) added with Zhuli (Bambusae Caulis in Taenia) and Jiangzhi (Zingiberis Juice) is suitable. Dry cough is difficult to treat; this syndrome is caused by phlegm stagnation transforming into fire-pathogen. Use Jiegeng to open the Lung; in summer, use yin-nourishing and fire-descending herbs. If untreated, it becomes consumptive disease. Cough mostly occurring in the morning is due to Stomach fire; use Beimu (Fritillariae Bulbus) and Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum). Cough mostly occurring in the afternoon is due to yin deficiency; use Siwu Tang added with Chaohei Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex fried black) and Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma). Cough at dusk is due to fire qi floating in the Lung; use Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus) and Wubeizi (Galla Chinensis). Cough at wugeng (5-7 AM) is due to food-fire flowing into the Lung; use Beimu and Ruan Shigao (Soft Gypsum). Lung distension with cough, or pain on either side preventing sleep, is caused by phlegm clumping with blood stasis and qi stagnation; nourish blood, soothe Liver, and clear phlegm using Siwu Tang added with Taoren (Persicae Semen), Hezi (Terminalia Chebulae Fructus), Qingpi (Aurantii Fructus Pericarpium), and Zhuli. Cough with hypochondriac pain requires soothing Liver qi using Qingpi. For excess phlegm, use Baijiezhi (Sinapis Semen). When blood obstructs qi causing cough, use Taoren, Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma), and Jiangzhi made into pills. Ginger is often used in treating cough because of its acrid-dispersing nature. When phlegm moves due to fire and rebels upward causing cough, first treat fire, then treat phlegm, using Zhimu to stop cough, clear Lung, nourish yin, and descend fire. Night cough uses formulas clearing the yin division. Using Yingsuke (Pericarpium Papaveris) for cough is acceptable if necessary, but one must remove the root cause; this is a收敛 (astringent) post-treatment measure. I consider that morning cough belongs to excessive Stomach fire; use Zhuye Shigao Tang (Bamboo Leaf and Gypsum Decoction) [sequelae of Cold Damage]. Spleen-Stomach qi deficiency uses Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Decoction to Boost the Middle and Augment the Qi) [miscellaneous diseases due to overwork]; add Chao Zhizi (Gardeniae Fructus fried). Afternoon cough belongs to yin-blood deficiency; use Siwu Tang, Huangbai, Zhimu [these two fried black with wine]. Kidney water deficiency uses Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia) [miscellaneous consumptive disease]. Dusk cough uses Siwu Tang, Wuweizi, Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix) and previous pill. Wugeng cough uses Liujunzi Tang (Six-Gentlemen Decoction) [miscellaneous consumptive disease]. Insomnia and bilateral hypochondriac pain use Liuwei Dihuang Wan and Buzhong Yiqi Tang. If due to qi deficiency and loose couli allowing six excess pathogens to invade, dispel external pathogens and solidify Spleen earth. If Heart fire is excessive, drain Liver wood and nourish Lung metal. If Lung metal qi is deficient, tonify Spleen earth to generate Lung qi. If Kidney water is damaged with deficient fire flaming upward, tonify Lung and Kidney to nourish the source of transformation. Generally, wind pathogen and Stomach fire are excess-heat disorders, easy to treat. Only Lung-Kidney damage involves the true zang organs, making it hardest to regulate. A woman who was hardworking developed cough, fever, hemoptysis, night sweats, and generalized pain in early winter. After taking phlegm-resolving and fire-descending herbs, she developed lockjaw and tendon spasms. This was due to underlying blood deficiency further damaged by medication. I used Bawei Wan (Eight-Ingredient Pill) as the main formula, assisted by Buzhong Yiqi Tang, Maidong, Wuweizi, and Shanyao. She recovered after more than a year. Another woman had cough, fever, vomiting of sputum (5-6 bowls day and night), wheezing, chest oppression, dry thirst, anorexia, and flooding hemorrhage. This was Spleen earth deficiency-cold; treated with Bawei Wan and Fuzi Lizhong Tang (Aconite Decoction to Warm the Middle) [miscellaneous middle-cold] and recovered. A woman offended by her mother-in-law suffered cough, chest-diaphragm discomfort, and loss of taste. This was dual injury to Spleen and Lung with phlegm stagnation in the middle. First used Guipi Tang (Spleen-Restoring Decoction) [miscellaneous forgetfulness] added with Zhizi, Fuxiong (Ligusticum Chuanxiong), Beimu, and Jiegeng; symptoms gradually improved. Later alternated with Liujunzi Tang added with Xiong, Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), and Jiegeng until fully recovered. A woman had cough with much morning phlegm and night wheezing/insomnia. Morning phlegm is due to Spleen deficiency transforming food; night wheezing is due to Lung deficiency with yin-fire rushing up. Treated with Buzhong Yiqi Tang added with Maidong and Wuweizi and recovered. A woman had cough, hypochondriac pain, fever worsening at shibu (3-5 PM). This was Liver-Spleen deficiency-heat injuring the Lung; treated with Jiawei Xiaoyao San (Modified Free and Easy Wanderer Powder) [menstrual regulation] added with Shudihuang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata) and recovered. Later, due to anger and labor, symptoms recurred with Taiyang headache, alternating chills/fever, cough, and enuresis. This was Lung qi deficiency with bladder loss of control; still used previous powder and Dihuang Wan and healed. A woman with chronic cough had sallow complexion, occasional pallor, limb fatigue, poor appetite, and diarrhea with slight overeating. This was Spleen earth deficiency failing to generate Lung metal. Morning: Buzhong Yiqi Tang; Evening: Liujunzi Tang; occasionally Zhenbao Tang (Eight-Treasure Decoction) [miscellaneous consumptive disease]. Improved after three months. Later contracted cold with wheezing/cough, abdominal distension, anorexia, and cold limbs. This was remaining middle qi deficiency failing to nourish skin/hair and couli, controlling opening/closing. Treated with Liujunzi Tang added with Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) and Jiegeng and recovered.
Chu Yushi said: Classics state: Mild cold causes cough; severe cold causes intestinal dysentery. Ancient formulas for cough were never without warm herbs like Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), Guixin (Cinnamomi Ramulus), and Xixin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma). Since cold enters the interior, only acrid-sweet can disperse. Thus, cough is rarely not due to cold. Also: Heat in the upper jiao causes lung萎 (flaccidity) via cough. Excess leads to lung abscess; deficiency leads to lung flaccidity. Initially, these patients may have blood insufficiency, excessive alcohol/sex/flavor intake, or fluid depletion from purgatives, leading to internal dryness burning Lung metal. Pulse rapid, fever, cough with pus/blood. This is critical. Ancients also used warm herbs like Jianzhong Tang (Middle-Building Decoction). Moderns seeing cold/heat/cough indiscriminately use Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix), Biejia (Testudinis Carapax et Plastrum), Mendong (Ophiopogonis Radix), Tingli (Descurainiae Semen), suffering harm without realizing error. Deep warning needed. Even if warm herbs are contraindicated, use decoctions/pills skillfully and gently; do not be rash to endanger lives.
[Xue] Danxi said: Yin-division cough mostly belongs to yin deficiency. Lung distension with insomnia is difficult. Lung flaccidity focuses on tonifying qi, nourishing blood, and clearing metal. Lung qi excess should be drained, mainly Sangbaipi (Mori Cortex), assisted by Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) and Fuling (Poria). Drain excess, tonify deficiency. Lung dryness needs moistening; heat types use Niubangzi (Arctii Fructus), Jiegeng, Zhimu, Jiziqing (Egg White). Hoarseness belongs to cold; use Xixin, Banxia, Shengjiang. Lung deficiency uses Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix) and Ejiao (Colla Corii Asini) as mainstays. Yin insufficiency uses Liuwei Dihuang Wan as key herb, or Zhimu Fuling Tang. Yin-deficiency wheezing uses Siwu Tang added with Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) and Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) to descend qi and nourish yin. I consider: Cough with nasal congestion/heavy voice is wind pathogen injuring Lung; use Shen Su Yin (Ginseng and Perilla Drink) [miscellaneous fever]. Red face with wheezing/cough is fire overcoming Lung; use Renshen Pingfei San (Ginseng Lung-Pacifying Powder) [miscellaneous wheezing]. Alternating chills/fever is Liver qi disharmony; use Sijunzi Tang added with Zhimu, Chaihu, Jiegeng. Cough/wheezing shortness of breath is Lung deficiency; use Renshen Bufei Tang (Ginseng Lung-Tonifying Decoction) [wheezing/fullness]. Fatigue/poor appetite is Spleen deficiency; use Shen Zhu Tuo Pi Tang (Ginseng and Atractylodes Spleen-Tonifying Decoction) [this section]. Dry mouth/throat is deficient fire flaming upward; use Liuwei Wan. Generally, fever/wheezing/cough or coughing pus/blood/anorexia: urgently tonify Spleen/Lung, nourish Kidney water; many survive. Floating-large pulse with red face are hard to treat; floating-short-choppy pulses are treatable.
Classics state: Contracting cold mildly causes cough; severely causes diarrhea. Lung governs qi and connects with skin/hair. Pathogen injuring skin/hair causes cough, a Lung disease, transmitting to other zang organs by season. Lung is a tender organ, easily injured and hard to treat. Cough has ten types: Lung, Heart, Spleen, Kidney, Liver, Wind, Cold, Branch, Fluid, Gallbladder. There is also Lao Sou (consumptive cough), called Xie Sou (pathogenic cough) by Hua Tuo, and Zhu Sou (infectious cough) by Sun Simiao. Due to excessive sex/alcohol, damaging Lung meridian. Severe cases expectorate pus/blood; mild cases wax/wane. Or hematemesis before cough, or cough before hemoptysis. This involves pathogen transmission (zhu). Sun Simiao used Tongqi Wan. Dreaming of sexual intercourse with ghosts uses Siman Wan, Gejie (Geckus), Tianlinggai (Cranii Humanum), Taoliuzhi (Peach/Willow Branches), Anshixiang (Benzoinum). If worms in Lung cause throat itch/cough, use lozenges to kill worms and stop cough.
[Xue] Zhang Zhongjing said: Cough with bilateral hypochondriac pain, inability to turn, fullness in hypochondria, belongs to Liver; use Xiao Chaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction). Cough with bitter vomiting, belongs to Gallbladder; use Huangqin Banxia Shengjiang Tang (Scutellaria, Pinellia, and Fresh Ginger Decoction). Cough with lump in throat, severe swelling/closure of throat, belongs to Heart; use Jiegeng Tang (Platycodon Decoction). Cough with fecal gas, belongs to Small Intestine; use Shaoyao Gancao Tang (Peony and Licorice Decoction). Cough with right hypochondriac pain radiating to shoulder/back, immobility aggravating cough, belongs to Spleen; use Shengma Tang (Cimicifugae Decoction). Cough with vomiting, severe vomiting expelling long worms, belongs to Stomach; use Wumei Wan (Mume Pill). Cough with wheezing sound, severe hemoptysis, belongs to Lung; use Shengma Tang. Cough with urinary incontinence, belongs to Large Intestine; use Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Tang (Ephedra, Aconite, and Asari Decoction); cough with bedwetting, belongs to Bladder; use Fuling Banxia Tang (Poria and Pinellia Decoction). Cough unceasing, affecting Triple Burner, presents with abdominal fullness, anorexia, drooling, eye edema, qi rebellion; use Yigong San (Extraordinary Merit Powder). Used correctly, efficacy is miraculous. A woman with previous symptoms had evening/internal heat, alternating chills/fever, thirst, night sweats, frequent urination, irregular menstruation (2-3 months). This was Liver/Spleen qi-blood deficiency; used Bazhen Tang (Eight-Treasure Decoction) and Liuwei Dihuang Wan for 60+ doses; symptoms improved. Menstruation every 2 months; continued previous meds, alternating Jiawei Xiaoyao San, 30+ doses each. Later anger during menstruation caused heavy bleeding, all symptoms returned, poor appetite, abdominal distension, shortness of breath. Used Shiquan Dabu Tang (Ten-Ingredient Great Tonifying Decoction) for several doses; improved. Continued previous meds for regulation. Later grief over child's death caused chest/abdominal discomfort, poor appetite, internal heat, night sweats, hematochezia, insomnia. Used Jiawei Guipi Tang (Modified Spleen-Restoring Decoction) combined with previous meds; recovered. Another woman had intermittent fever/chills. Cooling herbs worsened heat, night sweats, dry mouth, hot feet, generalized heat, confusion/drunkenness, recovering only after heat subsided (evening to dawn). This was yin-blood deficiency and yang qi weakness. Morning: Liuwei Dihuang Wan material; Evening: Shiquan Dabu Tang. Improved after 1 month. Added Buzhong Yiqi Tang; recovered after 2+ months.
