It suits chronic coughing arising from Deficiency best.
It benefits coughs of any type — recent or long-standing, hot or cold.
Bai Bu and Rx. Asparagi Tian Men Dong both enter the Lungs to address cough, but differ in nature: Bai Bu is bitter, warm and drying, suited to cold-type coughs and to killing parasites, whereas Tian Men Dong is sweet, cold and moistening, suited to hot-type coughs.
Fresh Stemona Root Xian Bai Bu Gen works best for itching and for clearing parasites; used externally as a wash it addresses toxic Wind eczema and the itching of "Leg Qi." Being somewhat toxic and drying, it is not applied to coughs.
Prepared Stemona Root Zhi Bai Bu moistens the Lungs more strongly and is particularly suited to chronic and dry coughs.
