岐伯曰∶夜行则喘出于肾,淫气病肺。有所堕恐,喘出于肝,淫气害脾。有所惊恐,喘
出于肺,淫气伤心。度水跌仆,喘出于肾与骨。当是之时,勇者气行则已,怯者则着而
为病也。原疾之由,皆本于肺与气。然感外邪,则有太阳证脉浮无汗而喘者,宜麻黄汤。
阳明病汗出不恶寒,腹满而喘,有潮热者,宜承气汤,若表邪未解,误服下利药,利遂不
止,脉促,喘而汗出者,宜葛根黄芩黄连汤。若微喘者,桂枝浓朴杏子汤。汗出而喘,若
无大热者,宜麻黄杏子甘草石膏汤。若表邪未解,心下停水,发热而喘,或呕者,小青
龙汤去麻黄加杏仁主之。若阴证喘促者,四肢逆冷,脉息沉细,或寸大尺小,或六脉促
疾,或心下胀满结硬,若冷汗自出,或大便频数,上气喘促,或咽喉不利者,此是本气
极虚,内外挟寒冷所致,使阴寒内消,阳气得复则愈,宜返阴丹主之。(以上诸方,并见伤寒
准绳。)大概诸脏相乘而喘者,以杏子散。(本条。)如感寒伏热而喘者,以华盖散、(杂病嗽。)九宝
汤。(杂病喘。)若暴寒向火,覆衣被过当,伤热肺实而喘促者,其状多有热证,宜洗心散,(杂
病发热。)冷水调服。若因气宇不调,痰盛喘促者,宜四七汤(杂病气)。兼官局桔梗汤,(杂病痰
饮。)姜煎服。若涎多而喘者,宜千缗汤、(杂病喘。)橘皮半夏汤。(本条。)若不得卧,卧即喘者,
此由水气逆行,上乘于肺,肺得水则浮而开,使气不得通流,其脉沉大,宜神秘汤。(杂病喘。)
肺之积名曰息贲,在右胁下,大如杯,令人洒淅寒热,喘咳,发痈疽,宜枣膏丸。(本条。)
若上气喘者,神授汤。(本条。)若上盛下弱而喘促者,宜苏子降气汤(杂病气。)吞黑锡丹。(杂病
头痛。)若尊年之人,素来禀赋太浓,不任热药
者,不可轻投丹剂及诸热药,但以秘传降气汤、分心气饮。(俱杂病气。)论之梗概,不出于
此矣。若素有香港脚而喘者,当作香港脚治之。又有骨蒸劳喘,自有专门,不敢滥及。
〔薛〕东垣云∶肺金受邪,由脾胃虚弱不能生肺,乃所生受病,故咳嗽气短气上,皮
毛不能御寒,精神少而渴,情惨不乐,皆阳气不足,阴气有余也。治法∶若肺气虚弱,用
四君子(杂病虚劳。)加枳壳、半夏。脾虚不能生肺,补中益气汤。(杂病劳倦。)七情气结,四七
汤。(杂病气。)脾经郁结,归脾汤。(杂病健忘。)脾气虚弱,人参补肺散。肺经火盛,人参平肺
散。肾水败浊,六味地黄丸。(杂病虚劳。)真阳虚损,八味丸。(虚劳。)或兼小便不利,为害尤
速,非二丸不能救。一妇人伤风寒作喘,或用表散,愈而复患,仍用前药,其证益甚,饮
食少思,胸腹不利,此因脾肺气虚也。予先用六君子汤加桔梗渐愈,又用补中益气汤而
痊。一妇人患前证,属命门火虚,不能生脾土,用补中益气汤、八味地黄丸而痊。后
复患,其喘益甚,用前药不应,遂用黑锡丹二服喘止,仍用前二药而诸证痊。凡属邪气
有余者,其证易识,治效亦速。其属元气不足者,变证不一,效非可以旦夕期也。

岐伯说:夜间行走过度,喘息之气源于肾脏,邪气淫溢则损伤肺脏。因坠落或惊恐导致喘息,病气源于肝脏,淫溢之气伤害脾脏。因惊恐导致喘息,病气源于肺脏,淫溢之气伤害心脏。涉水跌倒受伤,喘息之气源于肾脏与骨骼。在这个时候,体质强健的人,正气运行通畅则病愈;体质虚弱的人,邪气留滞而发病。追溯疾病的根源,都本于肺脏和气的功能失常。然而感受外邪时,若出现太阳病的脉浮、无汗且喘的症状,适宜用麻黄汤。阳明病表现为汗出、不恶寒、腹部胀满且喘,若有潮热症状,适宜用承气汤;如果表邪未解,误服泻下药,导致腹泻不止,脉象急促,气喘且出汗,适宜用葛根黄芩黄连汤。如果是轻微气喘,用桂枝加厚朴杏子汤。如果出汗且气喘,如果没有明显高热,适宜用麻黄杏仁甘草石膏汤。如果表邪未解,心下有水饮停滞,发热且气喘,或者伴有呕吐,用去麻黄的青龙汤加杏仁主治。如果是阴证引起的喘促,四肢逆冷,脉象沉细,或者寸脉大尺脉小,或者六脉急促疾速,或者心下胀满结硬,如果冷汗自出,或者大便频数,上气喘促,或者咽喉不利,这是本气极度虚弱,内外夹杂寒冷所致,使阴寒内消,阳气恢复则痊愈,适宜用返阴丹主治。(以上各方,均见于《伤寒准绳》。)大致各种脏腑相乘导致的喘息,用杏子散。(本条。)如感受寒邪伏热导致的喘息,用华盖散、(杂病嗽。)九宝汤。(杂病喘。)如果突然受寒后向火取暖,覆盖衣被过多,导致伤热肺实而喘促,其症状多有热证表现,适宜用洗心散,(杂病发热。)用冷水调服。如果因气机不调,痰盛导致喘促,适宜用四七汤(杂病气)。兼服官局桔梗汤,(杂病痰饮。)用姜汁煎服。如果涎多而喘,适宜用千缗汤、(杂病喘。)橘皮半夏汤。(本条。)如果不能平卧,一躺下就喘,这是由于水气逆行,上乘于肺,肺得水则浮张开泄,导致气机不得通流,其脉象沉大,适宜用神秘汤。(杂病喘。)肺的积病名叫息贲,位于右胁下,大小如杯,使人感到洒淅寒战,气喘咳嗽,甚至发痈疽,适宜用枣膏丸。(本条。)如果是上气喘急,用神授汤。(本条。)如果是上盛下弱而喘促,适宜用苏子降气汤(杂病气。)吞服黑锡丹。(杂病头痛。)如果是年老之人,素来禀赋太厚,不耐热药者,不可轻易投用丹剂及各类热药,只可用秘传降气汤、分心气饮。(俱杂病气。)论述的大概内容,不出于此了。如果素有香港脚(脚气)而喘的,应当按香港脚治疗。又有骨蒸劳喘,自有专门治法,不敢滥加涉及。
〔薛己〕东垣说:肺金受邪,是因为脾胃虚弱不能生养肺金,乃是所生之脏受病,所以出现咳嗽、气短、气上逆,皮毛不能抵御寒冷,精神少而口渴,神情凄惨不乐,这都是阳气不足,阴气有余的表现。治疗方法:如果肺气虚弱,用四君子(杂病虚劳。)加枳壳、半夏。脾虚不能生肺,用补中益气汤。(杂病劳倦。)七情气结,用四七汤。(杂病气。)脾经郁结,用归脾汤。(杂病健忘。)脾气虚弱,用人参补肺散。肺经火盛,用人参平肺散。肾水败浊,用六味地黄丸。(杂病虚劳。)真阳虚损,用八味丸。(虚劳。)如果兼有小便不利,为害尤其迅速,非这两丸不能救治。有一位妇人因伤风寒作喘,有人用发散表邪的方法治疗,病愈后又复发,仍用前药,病情更加严重,饮食减少思虑,胸腹不适,这是因为脾肺气虚。我先用六君子汤加桔梗,逐渐痊愈,又用补中益气汤而康复。另一位妇人患前证,属于命门火虚,不能生脾土,用补中益气汤、八味地黄丸而康复。后来再次患病,喘更严重,用前药无效,于是用黑锡丹两服后喘止,仍用前两种药而诸证痊愈。凡是属于邪气有余的,其证候容易识别,治疗效果也迅速。凡是属于元气不足的,变证不一,疗效不能期望在旦夕之间得到。

Qibo said: Excessive walking at night causes panting originating from the Kidney, with pathogenic qi overflowing to damage the Lung. Panting due to falling or fright originates from the Liver, with overflowing qi harming the Spleen. Panting due to shock and fear originates from the Lung, with overflowing qi damaging the Heart. Wading through water or falling and injuring oneself causes panting originating from the Kidney and bones. At such times, those with robust constitution recover as their Qi circulates freely; those with weak constitution suffer disease as pathogenic factors linger. Tracing the origin of these diseases, all stem from dysfunction of the Lung and Qi. However, when affected by external pathogens, if Taiyang syndrome (disease pattern of the Taiyang channel) presents with floating pulse, anhidrosis, and panting, Mahuang Tang (Ephedra Decoction) is indicated. In Yangming disease (disease pattern of the Yangming channel), if there is sweating, aversion to cold is absent, abdominal fullness with panting, and tidal fever, Chengqi Tang (Gut-Draining Decoction) is indicated. If exterior pathogens remain unresolved and purgatives are mistakenly administered, leading to persistent diarrhea, rapid pulse, panting, and sweating, Gegen Huangqin Huanglian Tang (Kudzu, Scutellaria, and Coptis Decoction) is indicated. For mild panting, Guizhi Houpo Xingzi Tang (Cinnamon Twig, Magnolia Bark, and Apricot Kernel Decoction) is used. If there is sweating and panting without significant heat, Mahuang Xingzi Gancao Shigao Tang (Ephedra, Apricot Kernel, Licorice, and Gypsum Decoction) is indicated. If exterior pathogens are unresolved, fluid retention exists in the epigastrium, accompanied by fever, panting, or vomiting, Qinglong Tang (Azure Dragon Decoction) with Ephedra removed and Apricot Kernel added is the primary treatment. For panting caused by Yin syndromes, characterized by cold extremities, deep and fine pulse, or large cun pulse and small chi pulse, or rapid six-pulse presentation, epigastric distension and hardness, spontaneous cold sweat, frequent bowel movements, upper body panting, or throat obstruction, this indicates extreme deficiency of original Qi and internal/external cold accumulation. Recovery occurs when internal Yin-cold dissipates and Yang Qi returns; Fanyin Dan (Return to Yin Pill) is indicated. (All aforementioned formulas are found in Shanghan Zhunsheng.) Generally, for panting caused by mutual overacting of various Zang organs, Xingzi San (Apricot Kernel Powder) is used. For panting due to cold invasion with latent heat, Huagai San (Canopy Powder) and Jiubao Tang (Nine Treasures Decoction) are used. If sudden cold exposure followed by excessive warming leads to lung excess due to heat injury, presenting with heat signs, Xixin San (Heart-Washing Powder) taken with cold water is indicated. For panting due to dysfunctional Qi mechanism and profuse phlegm, Siqi Tang (Four Seven Decoction) is indicated, combined with Guanju Jiegeng Tang (Imperial Bureau Platycodon Decoction) decocted with ginger juice. For panting with excessive saliva, Qianmin Tang (Thousand Strings Decoction) and JuPi Banxia Tang (Tangerine Peel and Pinellia Decoction) are indicated. For inability to lie flat, with panting upon lying down, this is due to counterflow of Water Qi ascending to the Lung; the Lung becomes flaccid and open upon contact with water, obstructing Qi flow, presenting with deep and large pulse; Shenmi Tang (Divine Mystery Decoction) is indicated. The accumulation in the Lung named Xiben (Breath-Turbulence) is located under the right hypochondrium, cup-sized, causing chills, panting, cough, and potentially carbuncles; Zaogao Wan (Date Paste Pill) is indicated. For upper body panting, Shenshou Tang (Heavenly Bestowal Decoction) is used. For panting due to excess above and deficiency below, Suzi Jiangqi Tang (Perilla Seed Descending Qi Decoction) taken with Heixi Dan (Black Tin Pill) is indicated. For elderly patients with strong constitutions intolerant to hot medicines, Dan preparations and other hot herbs should not be lightly administered; instead, Michuan Jiangqi Tang (Secret Transmission Descending Qi Decoction) and Fenxin Qi Yin (Separate Heart Qi Drink) are used. This summary covers the main points. For patients with Hongxiangjiao (Beriberi/Foot Qi) who also pant, treat the Foot Qi. Bone-steaming劳喘 (consumptive panting) has its own specialized treatments and is not discussed here.
[Xue Yi] Dongyuan stated: Pathogens affecting Metal of the Lung result from Spleen-Stomach weakness failing to generate Lung Metal, causing the generated organ to become diseased. Symptoms include cough, shortness of breath, Qi rebellion, inability of skin/hair to resist cold, low spirit, thirst, and melancholy, all indicating insufficient Yang Qi and excess Yin Qi. Treatment methods: For weak Lung Qi, use Sijunzi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) with Zhike (Aurantii Fructus) and Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma). For Spleen deficiency failing to generate Lung, use Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction). For emotional Qi stagnation, use Siqi Tang. For Spleen meridian depression/stagnation, use Guipi Tang (Restore the Spleen Decoction). For weak Spleen Qi, use Renshen Bufei San (Ginseng Tonifying Lung Powder). For excess Fire in the Lung meridian, use Renshen Pingfei San (Ginseng Calming Lung Powder). For turbid failure of Kidney Water, use Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia). For deficiency of True Yang, use Bawei Wan (Eight-Ingredient Pill). If accompanied by difficult urination, the harm is rapid, requiring these two pills for rescue. A woman suffered panting from wind-cold; after dispersing methods cured her temporarily, recurrence occurred with worsening symptoms despite previous medication, reduced appetite, and chest/abdominal discomfort, indicating Spleen-Lung Qi deficiency. I first treated with Liujunzi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction) plus Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix), achieving gradual recovery, then completed cure with Buzhong Yiqi Tang. Another woman with similar symptoms attributed to Mingmen (Gate of Life) fire deficiency failing to generate Spleen Earth was cured with Buzhong Yiqi Tang and Liuwei Dihuang Wan. Upon recurrence with severe panting unresponsive to previous meds, two doses of Heixi Dan stopped the panting, followed by the previous two medicines for full recovery. Syndromes with excess pathogenic factors are easy to identify and respond quickly. Syndromes with deficient Yuan Qi present varied changes and require time for efficacy.
Xingzi San treats panting urgency from mutual overacting of Zang organs.

JuPi Banxia Tang (from Heji Jufang) treats weak Lung/Stomach, preference for sour/cold foods, cold-phlegm retention, retching, nausea, thick saliva, vomiting, inability to keep food/medicine down, cold extremities, dizziness, heavy body. Also treats Shanghan seasonal pathogens, desire to vomit but unable, confusion, excessive alcohol consumption causing cold-fluid retention, rattling saliva in throat, dry hiccups.
Chenpi (Tangerine Peel, white pith removed) Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma, boiled, each 7 liang)
Coarsely crush, take 3 qian per dose, with 3 slices of fresh ginger, 2 zhan water, decoct to 1 zhan, strain, warm drink, anytime. Retain dregs of two doses plus one dose, decoct again.

Alternatively, Ren Shen Jingjie San (Ginseng and Schizonepeta Powder) from Wangshi Boji Fang may be used. If facial swelling persists, Classics state: "Facial swelling indicates Wind," thus sweating is appropriate. Mahuang and Guizhi can induce sweating, followed by Chaihu Yinzi (Bupleurum Decoction) minus Dahuang. Theory states: Treat Zang via Shu points, Fu via He points, edema via Jing points. Treating Shu treats Earth; treating He also treats Earth, akin to besieging Wei to rescue Zhao in military strategy.
