Square solution
The main indications of this prescription are wind-heat invading the lungs, or wind-cold stagnation transforming heat into the lungs. Lung heat, qi against body fluid, so you have sweating, body heat, shortness of breath, and even nose agitation, dry mouth and thirst, and slippery pulse. At this time, it is urgent to clear lung heat, and natural heat will clear qi and quench thirst. Therefore, it is the meaning of "fire depression" to take ephedra as the monarch and take it to spread the lungs and eliminate evil heat. However, it is warm in nature, so it is compatible with Ganhan Gypsum as a ministerial medicine, and the dosage is twice that of Ephedra, which can spread the lung without helping heat, clear the lung without leaving pathogenic factors, reduce lung qi and relieve asthma. Almond lowers lung qi, and as an adjuvant, it helps ephedra and gypsum to clear lung and relieve asthma. Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata can not only tonify qi and harmonize middle energizer, but also be combined with gypsum to promote fluid production and quench thirst, and can also reconcile cold and warm, so it is an adjuvant medicine. Although the compatibility of the four drugs is strict, the dosage is also considered. In particular, ephedra combined with gypsum is very flexible and reliable in treating lung heat.

Addition, subtraction and shearing
Because the lungs are very hot, the body fluid is steamed and sweaty, but the body fluid is seriously injured and there is little or no sweat. At this time, the dosage of gypsum should be increased, or the genera of Cortex Mori, Rhizoma Phragmitis and Rhizoma Anemarrhenae should be added. If you see aversion to cold and no sweat, it is because the pathogenic factors have turned into heat, but they are still not exhausted, or the wind and temperature are accompanied by cold. When you add some products that can relieve symptoms, such as Schizonepeta tenuifolia, mint, lobster sauce, burdock, etc., while clearing away lung heat, you should open the fur so that lung heat can be discharged and healed. Therefore, the clinical use of this prescription need not stop at "sweating and asthma", but it should be effective manually when carefully investigating the causes of anhidrosis, or adding products for clearing away heat and promoting fluid production, or a combination of pungent powder and relieving exterior syndrome.
