Kontraindikationen

  • Not to be used for cough and wheezing arising from Lung Qi Deficiency, unless paired with Qi-tonifying herbs.

Wechselwirkungen

Combining this herb with diuretics — chlorothiazide, hydrochlorothiazide, furosemide (Lasix), bumetanide (Bumex), and torsemide (Demadex) — may increase the elimination of water and electrolytes.

Kombinationen

  • Cough with abundant sputum, wheezing, and chest fullness and pain from Phlegm blocking the descent of Lung Qi, along with facial edema and a stuffy, noisy nose. Not intended for long-term use.

  • Facial edema together with fluid accumulation in the chest and abdomen.

  • Hardness, fullness, and chest pain caused by accumulation.

  • Congestive Heart failure.

  • Phlegm and thin mucus accumulating to constrain and obstruct Lung Qi, producing cough and wheezing that worsens when reclining, edema of the face and head, oppressive fullness in the chest, and diminished urination. It should not be used casually, for mild conditions, or as a routine remedy, and should be discontinued once it has achieved its effect.

  • Lung abscess.

Anmerkungen

  • According to some sources, this herb has a laxative effect.
  • It is indicated for Excess patterns and should be avoided in Deficiency patterns.
  • It reduces Accumulation of food or water.
  • It is effective for cough accompanied by copious, thick sputum.
  • It is used to treat ascites.
  • It drains Bladder Heat.
  • It addresses edema with orthopnea (inability to lie flat), as well as early-stage pulmonary abscess.
  • Because of its potent cardiotonic action, it has more recently been applied to congestive Heart failure presenting with dyspnea and edema, though it must be paired with tonifying herbs to guard against side effects.
  • It is considered among the most effective herbs for acute asthma, owing to its capacity to rapidly clear both visible and invisible Phlegm.
  • Ting Li Zi and Hb. Ephedrae Ma Huang share the ability to calm wheezing and open the Lungs so fluids can move and edema subsides. Ting Li Zi, being Cold and bitter, drains and mobilizes Lung water forcefully, making it most suitable for Excess Phlegm and thin mucus with cough, wheezing, and chest-and-abdomen edema. Ma Huang, acrid, slightly bitter, and warm, disseminates Lung Qi to disperse Wind-Cold, and works best for Wind-Cold obstructing the Lungs with cough and wheezing, or for Lung Qi that fails to move Fluids, producing Wind-Water edema.
  • Ting Li Zi and Cx. Mori Sang Bai Pi both drain the Lungs and move Fluids to calm wheezing and reduce edema and swelling, and the pair can be combined for facial and periorbital swelling with difficult urination, or for wheezing caused by water and thin mucus lodged in the Lungs. Sang Bai Pi is the stronger choice for draining Lung Heat and is indicated when Phlegm is yellow, whereas Ting Li Zi drains the Lungs and transforms watery Phlegm, and is favored for wheezing and swelling from excessive accumulation of water and Phlegm.
  • The Sweet (Tian) form of Ting Li Zi is bland-tasting with a moderate draining action, yet it is stronger at draining the Lungs and calming wheezing; because it does not injure the Stomach, it is the preferred choice and is used by itself for Lung abscess with coughing of pus and Blood and wheezing that worsens when lying flat.
  • The Bitter (Ku) form acts more quickly to drain, and is specifically chosen for expelling thin mucus, mobilizing pathogenic water, and draining the Lungs — though because it readily damages Stomach Qi, it requires careful monitoring; it is applied to edema or ascites of the chest and abdomen.
  • Dry-frying (Chao) makes it less Cold and less apt to harm Stomach Qi.
  • The Prepared (Zhi) form has a somewhat weaker Lung-draining effect but gains the ability to moisten the Lungs.
