qingqiao zhike decoction

Qingqiao Zhike Decoction is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbal formulation developed by Professor Gao Feng at Wangjing Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences. It is primarily utilized for the treatment of chronic cough, specifically targeting cases associated with Upper Airway Cough Syndrome (UACS) or "wind-induced" cough. The decoction is designed to "clear the orifices" (referring to the nasal and pharyngeal passages) and suppress the cough reflex. It is often evaluated in clinical settings alongside other specialized TCM regimens such as Zhisou Guomin Decoction and Beimu Zhizhu Decoction to compare their efficacy against standard conventional drug therapies. The formulation follows the TCM principle of combining disease differentiation with syndrome differentiation to provide personalized treatment for respiratory conditions.
