Formulation Principle of Pneumonia No.1 Recipe (肺炎1号方) and the Related Theoretical Innovation
It is considered that coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) in Guangdong was caused by pestilent qi of heat toxin. According to the onset season and the nature of the pathogen
COVID-19 in Guangdong can be attributed to the category of warm-pathogen dominant pestilence
which was called "wind-warmth" or "warm-heat epidemic". Based on the comprehension of etiology and pathogenesis of COVID-19 in Guangdong
the formulation principle of Pneumonia No.1 Formula(肺炎1号方) was analyzed; and the innovation of the therapeutic principles lied in that qi-boosting and yin-nourishing method was integrated when clearing heat and resolving toxins
venting pathogen through clearing and diffusing the lung
and relieving cough and dissolving phlegm. The analysis could provide a reference for using traditional Chinese medicine to treat COVID-19 and other emerging respiratory infectious diseases of sudden onset.
