As we age, we are more prone to stroke. Stroke is a group of diseases caused by the sudden rupture of blood vessels in the brain or the obstruction of blood circulation, leading to brain tissue damage. It has a high mortality rate and disability rate. Autumn and winter are the peak seasons for stroke. Traditional Chinese medicine recommends using Mahuang Wine for the prevention and treatment of stroke paralysis.

【Pharmacological Effects of Mahuang】
Mahuang has significant therapeutic effects on external pathogens such as wind and cold, aversion to cold, fever, headache, body aches, nasal congestion, lack of sweat, and floating and tight pulse. It can ventilate lung qi, open the pores, disperse wind and cold, and induce sweating to relieve the surface. It is often used in combination with Guizhi to enhance the power of inducing sweating and relieving the surface, such as Mahuang Tang.
Mahuang can be used for cough and panting caused by external wind and cold, and lung qi impeded by stagnation. It can ventilate and open the lung qi, disperse wind and cold, and relieve panting. When combined with Xingren and Gancao, it forms San Ao Tang, which can enhance the effect of relieving panting. If there is also internal cold drink, it can be combined with Xixin, Ganjiang, Banxia, etc., to warm and transform the cold drink, relieve panting and stop coughing, such as Xiao Qinglong Tang.
If cough and panting are caused by heat stagnating in the lungs, Mahuang can be combined with Shigao, Xingren, and Gancao to clear the lungs and relieve panting, such as Mahuang Xinggan Tang. This formula is very effective for people with cough and panting.
