Exploring the application of Su Huang Zhi ke Tang in post-infected cough based on odor theory
Post-infectious cough(PIC)is a subacute cough that occurs after infection,characterized mainly by persistent cough symptoms without organic lesions.In clinical practice,some PIC patients do not respond as expected to conventional methods such as dispersing cold,clearing heat,or moistening dryness.Chinese medical master CHAO Enxiang,drawing on years of clinical experi-ence,categorizes such PIC patients as suffering from wind-cough,identifying the core pathogenesis as"invasion of wind evil into the lungs,and loss of dissemination of lung Qi."Treatment should follow the principle of"dispelling wind and disseminating lung Qi,stopping cough and benefiting the throat."Professor CHEN Sheng,as the academic successor of Chinese medical master CHAO Enx-iang,often employs CHAO Enxiang's Su Huang Zhi Ke Tang with modifications in clinical treatment of such patients.Professor HAO Xiaomei summarizes the theory of aromas as natural Qi,human Qi,pathogenic Qi,and medicinal Qi,while the theory of flavors refers to the theory of five tastes.This article analyzes the application of Su Huang Zhi Ke Tang in these PIC patients from odor theory.The medicinal ingredients in the formula include leaves,roots,stems,and fruits,emphasizing the importance of the interaction between heaven and earth's Qi.The formula uses both cold and warm properties,along with pungent and bitter flavors,to disseminate and de-scend while harmonizing,strictly adhering to Odor theory,thus achieving significant effects in dispersing wind,disseminating lung Qi,stopping cough,and benefiting the throat.
