Analysis of Professor Pei Zhengxue’s Prescriptions for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Basic prescription: Yangyin Qingfei Tang: Xuan Shen 15 g, Gancao 6 g, Baishao 15 g, Maidong 10 g, Shengdi 10 g, Bohe 6 g (added last), Zhebei 10 g, Danpi 6 g. This prescription comes from “Zhonglou Yu Yue”: “The treatment principle is nothing but the lungs and kidneys; the key is to nourish yin and clear the lungs, while also focusing on dispersing heat and cooling.” The prescription heavily uses Shengdi, which is cold and enters the kidneys, nourishing yin and strengthening water, clearing heat and cooling blood, serving as the chief herb; Xuan Shen nourishes yin and reduces fire, detoxifies and benefits the throat; Maidong nourishes yin and clears the lungs, acting as the assistant herb; Danpi clears heat and cools blood, disperses stasis and reduces swelling; Baishao gathers yin and releases heat, benefiting the body; Beimu clears heat and moistens the lungs, dissolving phlegm and dispersing nodules; a small amount of Bohe disperses evil and clears heat, benefiting the throat; Gancao clears heat and detoxifies, benefiting the throat; all these herbs work together to nourish yin and clear the lungs, detoxify and benefit the throat.
