Why might a Ma Huang Tang patient have a cough?

BC LU is in charge of diffusing and DESCENDING Qi and BF. However, LU LOATHES cold, so it closes the pores. The closing of the pores disables LU’s ability to descend Qi and BF, causing a cough.

Think of it like a straw. When you put your finger on the top of a straw and “close it,” you trap the liquid in the straw. So you take the “Ma Huang Tang,” to open the pores (causing sweats) and the Xing Ren in the formula enables the descent of Qi and BF.
