Guest guest Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 If I can ask an herb question ;-) I had a patient with a chronic cough for the last month. She could at times bring up yellow phlegm but she felt that a lot of phlegm was stuck. Everything else was good... ;-) slippery pulse with slight yellow coat. She would cough uncontrollably at 7 PM until dawn. I wrote a formula that has worked well before basically along the lines of Guo Lou Bei Mu San and Zhu Li Da Tan Wan with a fair amount of Bai Qian, Bei Mu, Gua Lou and 2 grams of Mai Dong. After 2 days of taking the raw formula she was a little better but went to a Western doctor who gave her an expectorant. Within minutes she coughed up lots of yellow and green phlegm. Since then she has been getting better and better. My questions are: Is there an equally powerful expectorant in our Metica? Was the Bai Qian a mistake? Thats it. doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
