Objective: To review the herbal drugs used most often for treating lung-distension by determining those used by physicians throughout history; to study their property,taste,and channel tropism; and to explore their compatibility.Methods: Historical prescriptions for treating lung-distension were collected and sorted.Property,taste and channel tropism were determined,and the law of herbal administration was determined by cluster analysis.Results: One hundred and ninety five prescriptions were found,involving 166 herbal drugs,with a total appearance frequency of 1296 drugs.The herbs involved 8 properties (total appearance frequency,1296),7 forms of taste (total appearance frequency,1991) and involved all 12 regular channels (total appearance frequency,3382).Sixteen herbal drugs were used most often and formed 4 cluster prescriptions: C 1: Xing Ren (Semen Armeniacae Amarum),Gan Cao (Radix Glycyrrhizae),and Ban Xia (Rhizoma Pinelliae); C2: Gui Zhi (Ramulus Cinnamomi),Wu Wei Zi (Fructus Schisandrae),and Sheng Jiang (Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens); C3: Da Zao (Fructus Jujubae),Ma Huang (Herba Ephedrae),and Shi Gao (Gypsum Fibrosum); and C4: Chen Pi (Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae),Jie Geng (Radix Platycodi),Fu Ling (Poria),Sang Bai Pi (Cortex Mori),Xi Xin (Herba Asari),Gan Jiang (Rhizoma Zingiberis),and Bai Shao (Radix Paeoniae Alba).Conclusion: In treating lung-distension,phlegm retention has been traditionally considered the underlying pathology,emphasizing regulation of the lung and spleen as key and stressing patient nourishment and mental improvement.Prescriptions for lung-distension should be made with reference to the property,taste,channel tropism,and effectiveness of the chosen herbal drugs.
