Fritillaria thunbergii

If the patient exhibits symptoms such as cough, chest pain, chills and fever, coughing up fishy and purulent sputum, dry stool, red tongue and dry mouth, Zhejiang Fritillaria should be chosen because Zhejiang Fritillaria is more effective in purging heat than Sichuan Fritillaria. It is also good at clearing away heat and dispersing nodules, and is a good medicine for treating lung abscesses. The most commonly used method of taking Fritillaria thunbergii is to take 3-10 grams once a day, decocted in water.
