Although many Chinese clinical manuals also give yin vacuitywith lung heat and lung-spleen qi vacuity patterns, strongheat typically consumes both qi and yin. Therefore, these twopatterns are rarely seen in their pure forms. In addition, evenafter righteous qi and yin have become vacuous and weak,there is still usually lingering evil heat and phlegm.2. If high fever in pneumonia does not recede, in addition tothe above decoctions, also administer the Chinese readymademedicine Zi Xue Dan (Purple Snow Elixir), one grameach time, 2-3 times per day.3. Because the lungs rule the qi of the entire body and the qimoves the blood, serious impairment of the lungs’ diffusionand downbearing is often complicated by blood stasis. Thisis especially so in those who have already been ill a long time,as in so-called walking pneumonia, and the elderly.4. Most Chinese sources agree that Ma Xing Shi Gan Tang isthe main formula for use in wind heat and phlegm heat patternsof this disease. In addition, Yu Xing Cao (HerbaHouttuyniae) is regarded as an empirically specific medicinalfor most forms of pneumonia, in which case, it is usuallyadministered in relatively large doses. Other empirically effectiveChinese medicinals for pneumonia include Hu Zhang(Rhizoma Polygoni Cuspidati), Ban Lan Gen (RadixIsatidis/Baphicacanthi), and Pu Gong Ying (Herba Taraxaci).5. Pneumonia is usually seen in immune-compromised persons,including drug and alcohol abusers. People with HIVare especially vulnerable to this disease.ENDNOTE1 This is a patent medicine composed of: calcined ConchaMeretricis/Cyclinae (Hai Ge Ke), 180g, and Pulvis Indigonis (Qing Dai), 18g.
