Zhang Xichun's Experience in Treating Hematemesis and Hemoptysis 1977.8.24

Recently, I read in Zhang Xichun's "Medical Insights from Both Traditional and Western Medicine" that Wenjiang Tang and Hanjiang Tang are the best formulas for treating hematemesis and hemoptysis. Hanjiang Tang consists of Banxia, Gualou, Zhuru, Niubangzi, Zhe Shi, and Gancao. Wenjiang Tang includes Banxia, Shanyao, Baishao, Baizhu, Sheng Zhe Shi, Houpu, Shengjiang, and Ganjiang. Hanjiang Tang primarily uses cooling herbs, while Wenjiang Tang mainly uses warming herbs; the former contains Niubangzi, Zhuru, and Gualou, whereas the latter includes Houpu, Baishao, Baizhu, and Shanyao. Both formulas are decocted in water and taken once daily.
