Analysis on symptoms, syndromes, pathogenesis and medicinal herbs of Zeqi Decoction
The symptoms, syndromes, pathogenesis and medicinal herbs of Zeqi Decoction were analyzed by reviewing ancient classics and modern literature. Zeqi Decoction syndrome mainly manifests such symptoms as fever or no fever, coughing with qi counter-flow, dull pain in the chest and hypochondrium, fluid retention in the chest, and deep pulse, etc. The pathogenesis can be summarized into three aspects from the superficial layer to the deep layer: pathogenic qi invading the lung, and the lung failing to disperse and descend; the depressed pathogenic qi transforming into heat, and phlegm intermingling with blood stasis; qi deficiency of the lung and spleen, and internal fluid retention. The three aspects can appear simultaneously and intermingle through the whole disease course. Zeqi Decoction uses medicinal herbs in both cold and warm nature, combines reinforcement with reduction, and can treat both manifestations and root cause of disease. It is applicable to the disorder of phlegm and fluid retention with intermingled deficiency and excess, cold and heat as it has the effects of expelling water retention and activating yang, clearing heat and removing stasis, stopping coughing and resolving phlegm, and strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi. In modern clinical application, Zishen might refer to different medicinal herbs for different diseases. For instance, it could be Quanshen (Bistortae Rhizoma) for treating acute respiratory tract infection, or Shijianchuan (Salviae Chinensis Herba) for treating lung cancer, or Ziwan (Asteris Radix et Rhizoma) for treating chronic bronchitis.
