Introduction: Today, let's talk about the method of invigorating the lungs.

Lung tonifying method
The lung governs qi and regulates respiration, which is the hub for the rise and fall of the qi engine and its entry and exit. The lung is also known as the "source above water", and is mutually beneficial to kidney water. Therefore, the lung body is often moistened and moistened.
The function of the lung to promote and suppress depression is based on the enrichment of lung qi and the moistening of the lung body. Therefore, the physiological characteristics of the lung are dominated by qi and yin, and its deficiency syndrome is mainly manifested in two aspects: qi deficiency and yin deficiency.
1、 Invigorating lung qi
The lungs reside in the upper energizer and are imbued with the energy of the sect.
Zongqi is formed by the qi of water and valley reaching up to the chest and combining with the natural qi. Because the qi of water and valley is generated by the spleen and stomach transforming grain essence, Zongqi is actually the source of lung qi (i.e., "native gold").
"The lungs and kidneys are also responsible for breathing, and the inhaled qi reaches the elixir field to strengthen the genuine yuan qi. Because the kidneys absorb qi to ensure the intake of natural qi, the kidneys are known as the" root of qi ", which is actually the foundation of lung qi.".
"Covering the spleen is the mother of lung qi, and the kidney is the root of lung qi. Abundance of the spleen and kidney is the fundamental condition for sufficient lung qi. If the spleen and kidney are deficient, the lung qi biochemistry becomes passive. Conversely, lung qi depletion will inevitably affect the spleen and kidney.".
"Deficiency of lung qi leads to dereliction of duty. In addition to the syndrome of deficiency of spleen and lung qi (shortness of breath, tiredness, spontaneous sweating, aversion to wind, and susceptibility to external pathogens), clinical manifestations are often characterized by cough and wheezing.".
The method of tonifying the lung should be based on the tenet of the "Difficult Classic" that "those who damage their lungs should benefit their qi." The first suitable method is to use ginseng and astragalus to warm and replenish qi, directly replenish the already deficient qi in the spleen and lungs, and fill the water and valleys. If the qi is solid, the lung qi will have biochemical vitality (that is, the method of "tonifying the earth and generating gold");
The generation of rehmannia glutinosa and ass hide glue should be used to replenish the kidney and essence to transform qi, replenish the lower part to replenish qi, and strengthen the water to moisten the lung, so as to relieve the deficiency and dryness of the upper source, so that the lung can be moistened and lowered, and the breath will be smooth and beneficial;
Due to its deficiency, dryness, and adverse cough, it is advisable to use Schisandra chinensis, Aster, and other products to astringe the lungs and moisten dryness, with the aid of relieving cough and asthma.
The key point of tonifying the lung qi is to replenish the spleen and kidney, and at the same time, it should be assisted by moistening dryness as the upper method. Do not warm dryness too much and reduce its yin.
Representative formulas such as Bufei Tang (ginseng, astragalus, rehmannia, schisandra, aster, mulberry white bark, and roasted licorice) in the "Yong Lei Qian Fang".
2、 Invigorating lung yang
"The yang qi of the lung is the driving force for the upper energizer to dissipate qi, and its functions of promoting and descending qi (including promoting breathing, distributing body fluid, filling and protecting the external environment, and regulating water channels) all rely on the guidance of the lung yang. The exuberance of the lung yang depends on the cultivation and warming of the yang qi in the chest.".
Therefore, if the lung qi is deficient, then the yang is also weak, and if the lung yang is deficient, then the yin is turbid and the cold drink is reversed.
The clinical manifestations of lung yang deficiency are generally lung cold syndrome caused by chronic lung qi deficiency, characterized by cough, asthma, and clear, thin, and bubbling sputum.
Therefore, the method of tonifying lung yang should be based on ginseng and astragalus, supplemented by dried ginger, cinnamon, etc. to warm and invigorate yang qi, dissipate cold and calm adverse reactions, and schisandra chinensis to astringe the lung and calm asthma, as well as prevent the consumption of warm and dry products that damage lung yin.
The representative formula is as follows: Zhengyang Lilao Decoction (ginseng, astragalus, atractylodes macrocephala, roasted licorice, tangerine peel, cinnamon, and schisandra chinensis) in the "Essential Reading of the Medical School".
The ancient sages of the past dynasties have discussed less about lung yang, and it is particularly difficult to seek specific prescriptions for supplementing lung yang. The reason is mainly related to the pathological characteristics of the lung.
"Over time, the yang qi fails to vibrate due to lung deficiency, and the upper energizer proclaims a loss of its warming. The inability of the water and fluid to distribute and reduce is converging into the evil of yin turbidity, which blocks the lungs, causing the stagnation of lung qi and causing the inversion of yin turbidity.";
"Or, due to the deficiency of yang in the body, when drinking at the lower energizer, when cold water circulates through the deficiency of the lung, it can cause lung distension, asthma, and asthma. The main symptoms are marked urgency.".
Therefore, it is commonly known as "lung cold" or "mid lung cold", and the treatment method is to warm the lung and dissipate yin. Zhong Jing Li Gan Cao Gan Jiang Tang, Xiao Qing Long Tang, Ling Gan Wu Wei Jiang Xin Tang, and other herbs are used to treat both symptoms and symptoms, and later generations often follow them.
3、 Tonifying lung yin
The essence of lung yin is to moisten the body fluid of the lung.
There are three sources:
"The first is the transformation of the spleen and stomach into the fluid and qi transmitted from the valley, as stated in the" Su Wen - On Meridians ":" Drink into the stomach, swim and overflow the essence and qi, transmit upward to the spleen, dissipate the essence of the spleen, and attribute upward to the lungs... "
"The second is the body fluid (including lung fluid and mucus) generated by the lungs' own gasification. During the process of promoting and eliminating the symptoms of depression, the body fluid and body qi are transported throughout the body, completing the function of moistening the internal organs and muscle surfaces, as referred to in the" Lingshu Qijue Chapter ":" Developing the upper energizer, promoting the flavor of five grains, fuming the skin, filling the body, smoothing the hair, and irrigating the skin like mist and dew. ".
The third refers to the principle that kidney yang vaporizes kidney yin, elevates body fluid that nourishes the lungs (that is, "water and gold coexist").
The main manifestations of deficiency of lung yin are upper dryness syndrome, such as dry mouth and throat, dry nose and less mucus, dry cough and hemoptysis, and rare sputum, which are characterized by deficiency dryness syndrome (those with incomplete pathogenic heat should not be treated with tonic therapy).
Therefore, in principle, the method of nourishing lung yin is mainly to nourish yin and moisten the lung, and is determined according to the degree of injury and the viscera involved.
Generally, patients with mild yin injury often suffer from stomach injury. The method of nourishing the stomach and promoting fluid production should be combined, and can be mainly treated with Shashen Maidong Decoction;
For those with severe yin deficiency, they will tire and injure the kidneys. They should also be used to strengthen water and nourish the fluid. It is appropriate to use lily solid gold soup or the like;
If both qi and yin are injured, the spleen and lung should be treated together. Maimendong Decoction, Shengmai Powder, Zhengyin Lilao Decoction, etc. are all agents for nourishing qi and moistening the lung.
