Lung Qi Release is a modification of the classical formula Zhi Sou San from Medical Revelations (Yi Xue Xin Wu). This formula addresses patterns where exterior Wind Cold invasion has not been fully cleared from the Lungs, resulting in Lung Qi constraint that inhibits the spreading of body fluids, causing them to congeal into Phlegm.
