Li Weilin's Experience of Treating Cough from Lesser Yang
Professor Li Weilin,believes that based on the differentiation of syndromes from the six meridians,cough with pathogenic fac-tors attacking lesser yang is mostly referred to as cough of lesser yang.Healthy qi deficiency,and pathogens invading lesser yang,disturb the lungs,causing cough.The basic pathogenesis is that the lesser yang axis is not conducive,leading to stagnation of fire and invasion of the lungs.Treatment should focus on relieving the pathogenic factors of lesser yang and clearing the stagnated fire of lesser yang.Minor Bupleurum Decoction is a representative formula for harmonizing lesser yang.It can be used to harmonize the axis,relieve stagnated heat,attack and supplement together,and treat both deficiency and excess.It is warm but not dry,cold but not coagulated.Professor Li uses Minor Bupleurum Decoction as the basic formula to treat cough of lesser yang,which has excellent therapeutic effects.He also likes to use Gouteng(Ramulus Uncariae Cum Uncis)to extinguish wind,Baijiangcan(Bombyx Batryticatus)and Chantui(Periostracum Ci-cadae)to ascend lucid yang of yang as well as expel pathogens.In addition,for stagnated fire of less yang burning the lungs and trans-forming into dryness,clearing lung heat can suppress the tendency of minister fire to start a prairie fire.It is often used in combination with White-Draining Powder to clear the lung and nourish yin to restore the function of lung qi.
