    Shanghan Zabing Lun, or Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases, is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) classic compiled by Chinese pharmacologist and physician Zhang Zhongjing in the late Han Dynasty (202 B.C.-A.D. 220). The work is amongst the oldest complete medical textbooks in the world and is considered one of the four canonical works of TCM.

    The book focuses on treating infectious diseases and internal diseases. It inspired the development of the Lung Cleansing and Detoxifying Decoction formula. With no fewer than 21 herbal components, this recipe is effective against fever, cough and fatigue, as well as helps clear the lungs.
