Because the Lungs are responsible for respiration and control the skin, they are the organ most influenced by the external environment. When the weather is dry, dryness will affect the Lungs first. At a relatively exterior level, this leads to moderate fever and headache. Disruption in the flow of Lung qi and the scorching effect of warm-dryness causes a dry, hacking cough. Dryness also depletes the Lung fluids, which manifests as thirst, a red tongue, and a dry tongue coating. The floating, rapid pulse indicates a relatively superficial disorder. It is especially floating on the right (qi) side.</SPAN> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV align=center><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">ANALYSIS OF FORMULA:</SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"></SPAN></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal">The treatment of warm-dryness attacking the Lungs requires the use of cool, acrid herbs to release warm-dryness from </SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal"><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal">the </SPAN>upper burner</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal">, and cool, moistening herbs to make the Lung qi descend.</SPAN></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"></SPAN></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">< Chief Herbs ></SPAN></SPAN></DIV> <UL> <LI> <DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Folium Mori Albae (Sang Ye)</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">:</SPAN> clear dryness from the upper burner</SPAN></DIV> <LI> <DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Semen Pruni Armeniacae (Xing Ren)</SPAN>: cause the Lung qi to descend assisted by its deputy herb, Bulbus Fritillariae Thunbergii (Zhe Bei Mu)</SPAN></DIV></LI></UL> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">* The combination of the two chief herbs is very effective in gently dispersing warm-dryness and moistening the Lungs.</SPAN></P></BLOCKQUOTE> <P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">< Deputy Herbs ></SPAN></P> <UL> <LI> <DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Fructus Gardeniae Jasminoidis (Zhi Zi), Semen Sojae Praeparata (Dan Dou Chi):</SPAN> release constrained heat.
