Lung-distention is a syndrome of deficiency complicated with excess, manifested as qi stagnation in the channels at the initial stage, and cough, dyspnea, phlegm, and swelling on a long term basis. Modified Xufu Zhuyu Decoction should be used for this syndrome under the principle of replenishing qi at the early stage, dissolving phlegm in the middle stage, and invigoration at later stage.
