Description
Whether a progression from Wind Cold or Wind Heat into the Lung, or the result of improperly treated bronchitis or chest cold, Pinellia Phlegm Dispersing Formula will help resolve any Phlegm Heat pattern with thick, ropy mucus that is difficult to expectorate. Phlegm Heat often accumulates in the interior, from either external Pathogenic Qi that has become lodged in the interior or internal Heat. This pattern interacts with stagnant fluids from inefficient function of the Triple Burner (san jiao) and the Spleen. The Phlegm Heat obstructs the normal dissemination of the Lung Qi, leading to coughing of this thick yellow phlegm. Often these patterns linger for weeks or months after initial respiratory infections, and are visible as well in chronic asthma, smoker's cough (Heat and Dryness damaging the Lung), emphysema, chronic tuberculosis, and other intractable Lung conditions where there are Heat signs. This prescription contains no surface relieving ingredients. For more acute Wind Heat conditions, it may be preceded by, or combined with Initial Defense. It can also be combined with Wise Judge formula to moisten Lung Yin and strengthen Lung Qi.
