Yes, it helps when you understand the patient’s constitution and the underlying dynamics of the problem.

There are other cases where a formula can be used in many ways http://www.hhjfsl.com/jfbbs/read.php?tid=8178

Dr. Hu mentions Da Chai Hu Tang in a couple of his books specifically for the treatment of panting and wheezing (喘哮).
Dr. Huang mentions this treatment as well in one of his blog posts at http://hhjfsl.com/jfbbs/read.php?tid=8178

I will post a translation on my site in the very near future.

I somehow missed that one about Da Chai Hu Tang for bronchitis. Will you be posting it on your site?
Yes, it is quite eye opening to see experienced docs take a “standard” and apply it in a way gives you a whole new appreciation both the formula and their clinical eye.

Great case!

I’m always amazed by the selection of experiential formulas these old doc’s used that bear no resemblence to indications we were taught in school. One that I try to wrap my head around is 胡希恕’s use of Da Chai Hu Tang in the treatment of bronchitis. Amazing!
