Huan Yuan Decoction

Huan Yuan Decoction,Fire from the kidneys surges into the throat but cannot descend to the Gate of Life; as the fire boils, it transforms into phlegm and rises upward. Meanwhile, the fire of the heart overpowers the weakness of the lung’s metal element, further exacerbating the condition. Thus, within the water element, there is also a presence of fire energy, causing blood to be coughed up with phlegm in the form of blood threads—less during the day and more at night—accompanied by unceasing coughing that often prevents sleep.
