yiqi yangxue qufeng decoction

Yiqi Yangxue Qufeng decoction is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbal formula developed by Putuo Hospital, affiliated with the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, specifically for the treatment of laryngeal cough (喉源性咳嗽). Laryngeal cough is characterized by a sudden, paroxysmal cough often preceded by an itchy or foreign-body sensation in the throat, frequently associated with conditions like chronic pharyngitis or airway hyperresponsiveness. The formula is designed based on the TCM principles of tonifying the Qi (vital energy), nourishing the blood, and expelling wind (pathogenic factors believed to cause sudden symptoms like itching and coughing). Clinical observations suggest that the decoction helps regulate the immune system, reduce airway inflammation, and lower the sensitivity of the cough reflex. It is typically administered as an oral liquid prepared from a mixture of traditional herbs.
