Abstract:According to the theory of “the reason inducing cough includes the disorders from Five Zang and Six Fu organs, and it not only relates to the lung” in “Su Wen, The Cough”, we studied and statistically analyzed the formulas of Five-Zang organ cough recorded in history. We drew the conclusion that the most commonly used herbs for heart-cough were Ren Shen and Gan Cao, followed by Fu Ling, Yuan Zhi and Xi Xin; herbs treating liver-cough included Chai Hu, Qing Pi, Qing Dai, Chuan Xiong and Qian Hu; spleen-cough was treated with Ban Xia, Chen Pi and Bai Zhu; commonly used herbs for lung-cough were Xi Xin, Ren Shen, Gan Cao, Ma Dou Ling, Bei Mu and Gua Lou; Bu Gu Zhi was most frequently used for kidney-cough formula.
