bubble_chart Formula Principles

The lungs are the purest of organs, tolerating no impurities. The presence of qi or fire causes coughing, while phlegm or blood induces sputum. In the formula, Indigo and Gardenia are used to reduce fire, Trichosanthis Fruit and Sea Powder to resolve phlegm, and Chebula Fruit to astringe the lungs and relieve cough. Although there are no specific blood-regulating herbs, the cessation of fire naturally leads to the cessation of bleeding.

For severe cough, add Bitter Apricot Seed (peeled and tips removed).
