The traditional Chinese medicine composition is composed of 13 kinds of traditional Chinese medicines such as Chinese evonymus fruit, radix adustae, purple aster, periostracum cicadae and ginkgo. Chronic tracheitis is mostly caused by lung yin deficiency and kidney deficiency. After years of research, the basic cause of tracheitis is found. Whether it is external invasion or internal injury, the disease belongs to deficiency and reality. The basic treatment idea is to resolve phlegm, descend lung qi and invigorate the spleen and kidney. Thus, the innovative theory of treating tracheitis is formed. According to this theory, the traditional Chinese medicine is screened by using the principle of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation and treatment. The traditional Chinese medicine composition is gradually formed in the process of practice. The traditional Chinese medicine composition has a therapeutic effect on tracheitis, especially a good therapeutic effect on chronic tracheitis.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] A traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating bronchitis, belonging to the medical field of traditional Chinese medicine treatment of bronchitis. Background Technology

[0002] Bronchitis is one of the main respiratory diseases. It is mostly caused by diseases of the lungs themselves. It can also be caused by diseases of other organs affecting the lungs, thus impairing the lungs' function of dispersing and descending qi.

[0003] Bronchitis falls under the category of cough in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Its causes are numerous, including both external and internal factors. The *Neijing* (Inner Canon of Medicine) states, "All five viscera and six bowels can cause cough," with the lungs being the primary factor. The lungs are considered a delicate organ, the "canopy of the five viscera and six bowels," governing qi (vital energy), opening to the nose, and externally connected to the skin and hair. External causes involve the lung meridian, where the six pathogenic factors (wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, and fire) invade, first entering the lungs through the skin or nasal passages. When the lung meridian is affected, qi rises abnormally, resulting in cough. Internal causes arise from emotional distress and internal damage to the viscera. When internal factors are injured, pathogenic qi rises abnormally, steaming the lungs and causing cough. Of course, even with external causes, the external factors only take effect when internal factors such as a weakened immune system are present.

[0004] Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lungs govern respiration and gas exchange. When the lung meridian is diseased, lung qi is damaged, breathing becomes difficult, and coughing occurs due to upward reversal of qi. Pathogenic qi stagnates, scorching body fluids and congealing into phlegm. This phlegm obstructs the lung meridians, thus causing bronchitis. The lungs govern the body's qi transformation, regulate water metabolism, and transport fluids down to the bladder. Descending is considered the proper flow, while ascending is considered the opposite. When the lungs fail to clear and purify, upward reversal of lung qi causes coughing. "The spleen is the source of phlegm, and the lungs are the receptacle of phlegm." The spleen governs the transformation and transportation of food and water. When the spleen and stomach malfunction, food and water stagnate, turning water into dampness and food into stagnation. This dampness and water stagnate in the spleen and stomach, obstructing the lungs and condensing into phlegm. When mixed with water, it becomes phlegm-fluid retention. The kidneys govern the intake of qi and assist the lungs in descending qi. The spleen is also a source of phlegm. Therefore, although the symptoms of bronchitis primarily involve the lungs, they are closely related to the spleen and kidneys.

[0005] Having come to understand that bronchitis is caused by the upward flow of lung qi and phlegm obstructing the lungs, the basic principles of treatment are to resolve phlegm and expel fluid retention; to regulate lung qi; and to strengthen the spleen and kidneys. For the treatment of bronchitis, as long as the upward flow of lung qi is prevented and the phlegm in the lungs is removed, the bronchitis can be cured. This led to my own innovative theory for treating bronchitis. Based on this theory, and applying the principles of syndrome differentiation and treatment in traditional Chinese medicine, I selected Chinese herbs, repeatedly refined them, and conducted repeated experiments. This herbal combination is an empirical formula gradually formed through continuous exploration in practice.

[0006] Composition: Vitex negundo fruit, Adenophora stricta, Aster tataricus, Stemona japonica, Scutellaria baicalensis, Ephedra sinica, Prunus armeniaca, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Schisandra chinensis, Cynanchum paniculatum, Ophiopogon japonicus, Cicadae periostracum, Ginkgo biloba, 13 Chinese medicinal herbs.

[0007] This formula is modified from Ma Xing Shi Gan Tang, Sheng Mai Yin, and Sha Shen Mai Dong Tang. Ma Xing Shi Gan Tang is pungent and cool, opening the lungs, clearing the lungs and relieving asthma. Ephedra dispels cold and promotes sweating, relieving cough and asthma, and eliminating edema. Licorice tonifies qi and moistens the lungs, stops cough and resolves phlegm, detoxifies, and harmonizes the effects of other herbs. Vitex negundo clears heat and resolves phlegm, detoxifies and reduces swelling. Ginkgo can astringe the lungs and stop cough. Cynanchum can stop cough and resolve phlegm. Ginkgo and Cynanchum can strengthen the lungs, stop cough and calm asthma. Aster can warm the lungs, lower qi, resolve phlegm and stop cough. Stemona moistens the lungs and stops cough. Stemona and Aster can both moisten the lungs and stop cough. Apricot kernel can promote lung function and relieve asthma. Apricot kernel and Cynanchum can treat both new and chronic bronchitis. Schisandra and Ginkgo can astringe the lungs and nourish the kidneys, astringe sweat and generate fluids, strengthen the lungs, stop cough and calm asthma. Ophiopogon and Schisandra nourish yin, strengthen the heart and relieve asthma. Adenophora nourishes yin and moistens the lungs, generates fluids and nourishes the stomach, and resolves phlegm. Scutellaria clears the lungs, stops cough and promotes diuresis. Cicada slough extinguishes wind and stops spasms, clears heat and releases the exterior. Adenophora stricta, Ophiopogon japonicus, and Schisandra chinensis nourish yin, moisten the lungs, strengthen the heart, and eliminate phlegm.
