"The lungs, the official of the Phase Fu, the ruler of the knot", the lung oversees the lifting and descending of the qi machine, which is related to the life of the body, and the lung is incurable, which causes multi-system diseases. Although there are many drugs that enter the lungs, the performance is biased. Chen Yiren combined decades of clinical experience to discover the protagonist of this article, Aster. Let's follow in the footsteps of the author and see how it plays the role of the all-rounder of the "Zona Pulmonary Cure"!

Aster is in the lungs, and the zodiac plans to rule the festival
Author/Chen Yiren
The whole human body, like a small country, takes the lungs as the prime minister, as the "Suqin Linglan Secret Code" says: "The lungs are the officials of the Xiangfu, and the rulers are out of the way." "It assists the Lord of the Heart, heals the organs, regulates the qi machine, pushes the blood to run, distributes the subtle, regulates the jin liquid, and summarizes the lifting and descending of the qi machine, which is related to the life of the body." However, the function of the lungs, when there is also a loss of joints, is reflected in the body, and it is a multisystem lesion. At this time, it is also extremely necessary for the fully functional Ming Ganxu officials of the lungs to correct deviations and corrections, coordinate the various organs, and make the qi return to peace.
There are many medicines for the lungs, but each has its own bias, or it is dry, such as ephedra, or a single function, such as almonds, wheat dong, etc., it is difficult to be this task. The remaining decades of clinical experience confirmed that Aster was worthy of this task, as the "Materia Medica Tongxuan" said: "Aster, hard but not dry, moist but not cold, supplement but not lagging." "The universal viscera, the results are good, it is actually a fast official of the lung family, and the all-rounder of the lung cure festival is also briefly analyzed:
1. Promote lung deflation and cure all kinds of cough and asthma
Generally speaking, the evidence of cough and asthma is the evidence of the inverse of lung qi, the aster can be dispersed, the suffering can be reduced, the cause of lifting and descending, the right lung, the lung lesion, the most appropriate. Especially rare, aster sex taste is peaceful, regardless of cold and hot diseases can be used, if the cold evil obstructs the lungs, hesan soup, small green dragon soup cutting; phlegm heat contains the lungs, Yu commonly used aster combined experience fang flavor reed stem soup (peach kernel 10g, almond 10g, fried coix kernel 12g, winter melon kernel 12g, dried reed root 20g, stone reed 15g, sea pumice 12g, hot oak leaf 10g), in order to clear phlegm fever, suppress the lungs and asthma.
The above empirical evidence can be used, and the false evidence can also be used, the "Theory of Medicinal Properties" says that it "replenishes the deficiency of the qi", and the "Derivation of Materia Medica" says that it is "beneficial to the lungs", which is not a false statement. According to what the testimony saw, those with qi deficiency combined with astragalus, those with yin deficiency combined with wheat winter and tiandong, and those with yang deficiency combined with Wu Xian ling spleen and so on. It should be noted that those who have been sick for a long time cough and asthma take care of kidney qi, lungs and kidneys, and each time they get good results.
Recalling a certain case of Zeng Zhijin, it is quite interesting: male, 25 years old, a military doctor in Changzhou City, a student in Western Studies. Patients since the adolescence due to swimming inhalation of river water, so suffering from sieve sinusitis, repeatedly incurable, secondary tracheitis, consciously itching on both sides of the pharynx, coughing up sputum mucus, nasal clearing from the sieve sinus part slowly flowing backwards, had to vomit, but inconvenient to cough and vomit during class, often wipe it with a handkerchief, two handkerchiefs per class are wet, repeatedly medical (Western medicine) is ineffective, and it is painful. Because the patient is a Western doctor, Ping Su is very light on Chinese medicine and has never wanted to ask Chinese medicine for diagnosis and treatment. Now that there is no good way, I listened to Yu's lecture on the diagnosis and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, so I took a try mentality and asked Yu for diagnosis and treatment.
Diagnosis: In addition to the above symptoms, Pingsu is afraid of cold, waist soreness, nocturia, thin moss, and deep pulse. The evidence is that the kidney qi is insufficient, and the lungs are lost. Cure the pseudo-solid kidney qi, xuan lung machine.
Prescription: Aster 9g, Platycodon 15g, Coriander 12g, Raspberry 12g, Psoralen 6g, Ze Diarrhea 6g, Peach Kernel 9g, Almond 9g, Coix Seed 12g, Bai Shu 12g. Take 1 dose daily in decoction. After the patient took 5 doses of the drug, most of the disease healed, and he was overjoyed and praised the wonders and sciences of Chinese medicine. The effect is not more effective, and it will be cured by taking 5 doses. 1 dose is prescribed for the duration of the day to fix the curative effect.
It can be seen from this that Aster is a medicine for the lungs, and it is indeed right for the lung to cough and asthma.
2. Sexual flat body moisturizing, treatment of a variety of blood evidence
Aster tastes bitter and sweet, good into the blood, has the magic of hemostasis, so it can treat a variety of blood evidence. Such as the evidence of coughing up blood, mostly due to the inversion of lung qi, the reverse qi with blood inversion, aster lowering lung qi, anemia blood, more and more with crane grass, orange stem and so on. For tuberculosis hemoptysis, dowu nansha ginseng, lily, Sichuan shellfish, etc.; those who do not take blood in qi, more astragalus, white surgery; lung fever injury, polyheli reeds, reed roots, etc. As the "Materia Medica" said: "(Ziyuan) specializes in the treatment of blood phlegm, which is a holy medicine for blood labor." "It is not only a unique treatment of pulmonary bleeding, but also can be used to treat vomiting blood, blood in the blood, blood in the urine, blood in the stool and other kinds of bleeding, such as combined with platycodon to treat blood, with rhubarb, skullcap, huanglian to cure stomach fever vomiting blood, hemao root, sanchi to treat blood in urine, with heart soil, white surgery to treat spleen deficiency and blood in the stool, plus elm, rhubarb to treat intestinal wind and so on. According to the evidence, all of them have good results.
3. Discharge lung stagnation, sharp chest and pharyngeal knots
The main qi of the lungs resides in the chest and takes the throat as the portal. If the lung qi is unfavorable, the qi machine is stagnant, the throat is unfavorable, or choking or pain, or there is a feeling of foreign body obstruction; chest tightness, chest pain, shortness of breath and other chest paralysis diseases. Aster specializes in the lung meridian, good through lung stagnation, sharp chest and pharyngeal knot, so the above diseases, the rest of the use. It is not good for the larynx and pharynx, with many orange stems and Su stems, there are hot people with shoot dry, skullcap, cold people with guizhi, phlegm and gas obstruction, half summer, poria and so on. Aster is both into the qi and into the blood, qi and blood double tone, so the evidence of chest paralysis, the most appropriate, blood stasis of the red peony, Sichuan root, peach kernel, safflower, phlegm with melon, white, yang deficiency into the appendage, aconitum, etc., the effect is satisfactory.
4. Smooth lung qi machine, relieve spleen and stomach stagnation
Ancient and modern solution to spleen and stomach stagnation, more from the liver treatment, to the liver wood easy to cross the spleen soil also. However, the main qi of the lungs, the lifting and lowering of the gas machine is rooted in the lungs also. Therefore, starting from the lungs to regulate the qi machine is an important measure and is very suitable for theoretical and clinical practice. Yu every time he matched Aster with other medicines to take the effect of Swift. For example, Yu's experience fang open lung Xuanyu soup (12g of burning aster, 6g of autumn orange stem, 9g of Sichuan tulip gold, 9g of fried citrus shell, 12g of hot oak leaf, 3g of powder licorice) is added or subtracted with the symptoms to treat esophagitis, esophageal spasm, chronic gastritis, gastrointestinal neurosis and other diseases that are lung loss and depression, and do not take effects at will.
5. Purify the lungs and induce constipation knots
In the face of the lungs and the large intestine, the constipation knot, although in the large intestine, is closely related to the non-drop of lung qi and the lack of fluid. The hot aster is warm and moist, has the ability to work hard and hard, can declare lung qi, lung qi is suppressed, and jin liquid is dispersed, so as to smooth the stool. As early as the Song Dynasty, there are records of single-flavored aster curing stubborn constipation. Later, Zhu Danxi, Ye Tianshi, etc. all had the experience of opening the lungs to cure intestinal paralysis. The author experienced from the testimony that Aster has a good effect on constipation knots, so the creation of citrus aurantium soup (15g of hot aster, 6g of platycodon, 10g of citrus aurantium, 15g of raw astragalus, 10g of raw licorice) is cut with symptoms to cure senile constipation caused by insufficient lung qi and declaration of abnormalities, and there are many effects.
6. Lift the lid of the pot and decide the scorching
The lungs are the source of water, if the upper source is not clear, every urination does not work, so that the water does not drain out and remains in the body, causing edema. Therefore, edema is related to the kidneys and spleen, and it is also inseparable from the lungs. The treatment method of lowering lung qi to facilitate urination and reduce edema is called the "lifting pot and uncovering the lid" method. The product of Xuan Lung, with Aster as the superior, has been repeatedly contained in ancient texts, such as the "Thousand Golden Fangs": "Cure women from urinating, aster end, Jinghua water service three fingers." The Materia Medica is also known as: "Aster... However, it is not used alone, and multiple uses cannot be quick-acting, and those who do not urinate and drown blood take one or two immediate effects. ”
The author experienced that the treatment of edema and urination is not conducive, and the aster is the right product, one into the lungs of the qi points, the deflation of the qi, and then into the blood to stop the bleeding, for today's nephritis edema sandwiched with hematuria, one stone two birds also. The number of cases treated, too numerous, is often added on the basis of dialectics to take the effect of promoting the effect of lung water transfer, and the general dosage is about 15g.
As we know above, Aster is a necessary medicine for the lung system, with comprehensive efficacy and peaceful medicinal properties, which can basically reflect the full function of the main treatment node of the lung phase. It can coordinate the lungs to regulate the organs and ensure the smooth flow of the qi machine. Its conviviality is quite pulmonary and is its basic function. As for stool, urinary, open chest, laryngopharynx, etc., they are derived from this function. Knowing this, the clinic can be widely used also.
