Chinese medicine for respiratory diseases can be roughly divided into a treatment period, a conditioning period and a tonic period. The first two steps are enough for acute diseases, and three steps are needed for chronic diseases. In the first two steps of the treatment period will often be used in the soup, soup is also swallowed, soup medicine to attack the main evil, high concentration and absorption of good efficacy, the most suitable for the first diagnosis of the evil real disease evidence typical of the treatment. Respiratory disease treatment of tonics processing should pay attention to the following points: 1, with tonics as far as possible to their own decoction. Many people do not like the smell of cooking tonics, but the smell of the tonics for respiratory disease treatment is often an important part of the treatment, the lungs are in the upper jiao in Chinese medicine, the use of drugs also tend to taste light and upward, develop the hairy orifices, the smell of the decoction can play a role in raising the clear and lowering the turbidity, facilitate the airway, phlegm and pharynx, the environment can sink dust, purify the air, is the essence of the treatment, many patients to save time to this part of the treatment discarded. 2, the time of soaking and decoction. Respiratory disease treatment of the evil real period of the broth are mostly flowers, leaves, stems or finer roots of plants, generally do not need too long soaking, did not pass the water for a while can be heated. Large fire (also known as wu hua) boil and then small fire (also known as wen hua) for about 15 minutes, pour out and add more water, boil the pot and drain out after 15-20 minutes of wen hua. Excessive decoction makes the botanicals boil rotten in the pot, the juice is cloudy and thick medicinal power downward, that is, not conducive to clearing the upper jiao lung evil, but also to the middle jiao spleen and stomach produce adverse stimulation. 3, the number of times the medicine is used and the dosage. Two boiled soup together up to 400 ml can be, if too much to remove the dregs of the medicine and then heated to collect the juice, divided into two 200 ml in the morning and once in the evening divided. Patients with bad stomach can be concentrated to 100 to 150 ml each time, do not pursue the amount of medicine is too large, as the saying goes, “medicine is three parts poison”, a large amount of liquid over-stimulation of the stomach caused by accelerated peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract will not be conducive to the absorption of the active ingredients. If there is vomiting and regurgitation after the medicine and other cases of not receiving the medicine can add a small amount of ginger slices cooked with or in the concentration of the liquid at the same time into a little ginger juice; because the lungs and large intestine phase, even without “playing medicine” in the treatment of lung is easy to diarrhea, such as diarrhea to reduce the amount or stop the medicine, adjust the formula and then use.
