  of chronic breathlessness from Lung-Yin deficiency or both Lung- and Kidney-Yin
  deficiency.


• BL-43 nourishes Lung-Yin and is particularly effective in very chronic diseases.


• BL-13 and Du-12 tonify Lung-Qi.


• Ren-4 nourishes Yin in general and strengthens the Kidney's grasping of Qi.

Herbal Treatment

Prescription

Sheng Maisan
(Generating the Pulse Powder)

Ren Shen Radix Ginseng 9 g

Mai Men Dong Tuber Ophiopogonis japonici 9 g

Wu Wei Zi Fructus Schisandrae chinensis 3 g

Explanation

• Ren Shen tonifies Lung-Qi.


• Mai Men Dong nourishes Lung-Yin.


• Wu Wei Zi nourishes Lung-Yin and absorbs leakage (such as night sweating).

This is the best prescription to tonify Lung-Yin. However, in cases of chronic breathlessness,
herbs that restore the descending of Lung-Qi such as Xing Ren Semen Pruni armeniacae or Su
Zi Fructus Perillae frutescentis should be added. Alternatively, this prescription could simply be
combined with the previous one. They would combine particularly well also because they have
two herbs in common (Ren Shen Radix Ginseng and Wu Wei Zi Fructus Schisandrae chinensis).
