Sheng Mai San by Treasure of the East also known as Ginseng & Schisandra is used for concurrent deficiency of qi and yin, primarily of the Lungs.

Chronic cough not only injures the Lung qi, but is also an manifestation of injured Lung qi together with shortness of breath and spontaneous sweating.

Prolonged, profuse sweating injures the fluids and yin, which is manifested here in the sparse sputum that is difficult to expectorate, and the dry mouth and tongue.

The pulse is deficient, which reflects deficient yin. The same condition can develop over a relatively short period of time if the sweating is profuse, as in summer heat-stroke. The mechanism in such cases is that excessive sweating injures both the Lung qi and the fluids or yin.
