It also incorporates the phlegm – reducing and wheezing – relieving concepts from Formulary of the Peaceful Benevolent Dispensary. By integrating the wisdom of ancient physicians in dealing with lung dryness and虚喘 (deficiency wheezing) and the key points of Lily – Rehmannia Decoction from the Tang Dynasty’s Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold, and taking into account the impact of modern air quality and lifestyles on the lungs, it has been carefully formulated by incense therapists.
